I'm a long-time user of the wiki and I am now increasingly editing things here. Although I do adamantly disagree with some of the stuff on here, it really is an impressively excellent resource on all things Robot Wars. I first got into the show when I was three or four, watching the original run of the Fourth Wars, Extreme 1 and a little bit of TechnoGames. Now, I hope to build a robot of my own some day, with parts for a featherweight sitting around in my basement for the last few years and ideas flowing out of my ears, all of which will hopefully come together at some point in the form of Torrent.

1. Chaos 2
The bot I grew up worshipping, Chaos 2 is arguably the most successful machine in Robot Wars history. More than that, though, it permanently changed the way battles are fought when it threw Firestorm OOTA and ushered in the age of srimechs and invertibility.

2. Big Nipper
Big Nipper is the most successful combination weapon bot ever and managed to take two British titles in the age of flipperfests. With the latest version, the team added a tasty vertical spinner and made it one of the best looking machines in the UK right now.

3. Eruption
Another two-time champion, Eruption is truly the modern Chaos 2, even down to the fact that it is the only other robot to ever successfully defend its title. Powerful and well-driven, it was one of two machines to actually beat the eventual champion Apollo last year.

4. The Alien
With a hard-hitting vertical bar at one end and a defensive wedge on the other, The Alien was both destructive and versatile. Plus it self-righted in a really cool way. Unfortunate not to reach the semi-finals in its three appearances.

5. Ironside3
Another recipient of injustice, Ironside3 went out last year under suspiciously foggy circumstances. The team had said their weapon pully was slipping last year and it was only at one third effectiveness. This year I'm expecting great things.

6. Storm2
Who says wedges are boring? Well, the producers. But Storm2 shut them up by having a leading role in the most expensive damage to a house robot ever. Its specialty of slamming its opponents into the walls so hard they exit the arena shows what great driving and raw power can do.

7. Draven
I once described this robot as a 'beautiful metal bitey thing'. I'm often a fan of robots if I think they've been subject to injustice and the fact that Draven was denied entry for three different Wars is one such example. Granted, it hasn't seen any success, it's nice to see them finally in a main competition.

8. Gravity 3
When I first saw Gravity throw robots end-over-end and toss house bots like a toddler might toys from a cot, I was sold. The only machine to humiliate the house robots more than Razer or Apollo, Gravity came out of nowhere to wow us and make history with the quickest win ever in the series.

9. PP3D
Scarily powerful, PP3D is a force to be reckoned with. Plus the the disc has my name on it.

10. Gabriel
Gabriel did what no robot has ever done successfully - used ridiculously-oversized wheels. The idea has been around for a while but Gabriel made it work. What's more, they brought with them a new attitude to spinner defences - wobblerium armour ingrained with the ability to give no fucks no matter how hard you hit it.
