I agree that the list like this runs the risk of being pompous and self-important, but I agree with the sentiment expressed by TG. As someone who was around in 2009 as well, I remember being just as surprised to find out robots like Bamm Bamm and Scraptosaur didn't suck as anyone. A list like this is hard to read with the benefit of hindsight, and I encourage you Toast to stick with that. Robot Wars fans nowadays can treat Dutch results etc. as common knowledge.

I'd say that in 2009 (please note the "in 2009" part), CBFan/CrashBash and TG could probably both lay claim to being in the top 5 knowledgable Robot Wars fans in the world, and if one of them was surprised to learn of something, the rest of us probably were too.
