With Series 9 underway many people are giving their thoughts of the robots, and I'll give my two cents as the series progresses by means of a Japanese style of poetry. Why? I honestly have no idea.
Episode 1[]
Nuts:
Meltybrain heavy
Plagued by only one wheel drive
Tilda ruins hopes
Rapid:
The new Chaos 2?
Seems more like the new Mortis
Better luck next time
TMHWK:
All girls team enters
Only to get undercut
No buoy this time
Crank-E:
Robin Herrick's back
Successor to Pussycat
Not as durable
Jellyfish:
All the buzz online
Reinstated a new hope
Close but no Pulsar
Terrorhurtz
Axe bot master race
Gets rear torn into big chunks
Goes out the same way
Sabretooth
Pray for Gabe worked well
Finally out of Round 1
Aftershock savage
Aftershock
Deadly disc of doom
In the words of Ray Billings
"Do you want some more?"
Episode 2[]
Draven
The dark lord returns
Only to get axed and die
He shall rise again
Hobgoblin
Eggbeater weapon
But docile and no srimech
Goes over easy
Cobra
Dutch dream team is back
With a beautiful robot
So the better one
Push to Exit
Front hinged master race
Not much push before exit
Least there's no hammer
Behemoth
My boys have returned
New scoops and some weird claw thing
Eight time is the charm?
PP3D
Crowdfunded this time
But still prone to self destruct
Oh my god that hit
Cherub
On mission from God
Becomes a massive dark horse
Miss you Gabriel
Eruption
The new Chaos 2?
This time yes I believe so
Those O.O.T.As
Episode 3[]
Tauron
Spinning axe of death
Another one hit KO
There goes my sweepstake
Chimera 2
Toe Crusher like bot
Much improved over Team Death
At least it's progress
Foxic
Craig Danby is back
But gets knocked onto its lid
Will Chris do better?
Expulsion
Team of school children
With a unique disc weapon
But no drive at all
MR Speed Squared
Forsey Team is back
But still a big glass cannon
M.R. not Mister?
Heavy Metal
John Denny's return
With his adult son driving
And tiny guitar
Thor
God of thunder comes
Much more sleek and spinner proof
But still a wildcard
Concussion
Spirit of Razer
Impressive for first time team
And that grand mohawk
Episode 4[]
Crushtacean
From retirement
But with no real improvements
Crab legs anyone?
High-5
Brother of SMIDSY
With a hand grabber weapon
Down low oo too slow
Apex
Second Danby bot
But goes out much like Foxic
Big Poppa Hatchet?
Frostbite
Low discount Carbide
And test runs were so unsafe
Belongs in the skip
Wyrm
No HDPE
With a Sewer Snake style wedge
And it runs on memes
Supernova
Biggest redesign
Much more improved bot this time
Spinner Behemoth?
Pulsar
Revamped finalist
But still has some growing pains
Waving srimech rocks
Ironside 3
Underdog last year
Comes back and gets sweet revenge
Trevor has come far
Episode 5[]
Rusty
Ceros successor
Turns out to be very frail
Should have been Clyde Built
Ms Nightshade
Traffic cone like shape
Claims to be unflippable
Are you sure bout that?
Trolley Rage
Last of the axe bots
Becomes Carbide's first victim
Cleanup on Aisle 3
Meggamouse
Second of Wright's bots
Fares much worse than its brother
Meets a cheesy end
Coyote
Mad Max esque robot
But could not take all the hits
Miss the chainsaw tail
Crackers n Smash
One true clusterbot
Does do surprisingly well
"Botwright" best last name!
Apollo
Our champs have returned
But cannot pull a repeat
Nor flipping Sir K
Carbide
Runners up come back
Improved but the same mantra
DESTROY EVERYTHING
Grand Final[]
Side Note
Pushed back for some golf
Could have used more Killalot
And way less wedges
Apollo
Our sixth contestant
Stuck in floor and gets ass torn
Fix the arena
Concussion
Newbie team entry
Against two refined spinners
Still best newcomer
Ironside 3
Made it very far
Srimech failed them once again
Ironside 4 next?
Aftershock
Deadly disc of doom
Duct tape fixes everything
Armor turned bullet
Eruption
Bridesmaids of this year
Withstood tons of brutal hits
But no third trophy
Carbide
The massive favorite
Claims its title finally
Dave's smug grin is gold
