I always found the maze sections pretty dull... until you hear the words "AND IN COMES SIR KILLALOT" and that puts a huge smile on my face. :)

Much as I love the destruction, I still love the gauntlet and challenges of the old days.

"Robot Ears. Stand by."

i love how piece de resistance became sir kill alot's toy

Sir interferes alot haha

when i think of skittles, i think of a candy...

9:00 was so funny XD turbo charged! XD and then the house robots just come in and push it over XD

Thanks so much for the videos.

"only 5mm ground clearence for victor"...looks a bit more than 5mm to me pearce

i just found an old highly distorted VHS recording of this off whyy,"tv 12".. It's been so long since i watched the tape, elementary school definitely.

Craig Charles is so much nicer and funny then the guy in the last series

Caliban, what a piece of junk! I love the Skittles trial, Demolition Demon owned the field and no wonder the house robots weren't happy! Victor was quite lucky to make the heat semis considering it's poor ground clearance despite completing the gauntlet thanks to Sir Killalot giving it a hand. "It was a bit like Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest, nul points!" CRAIG YOU LEGEND, at least the driver from Piece de Resistance wasn't disappointed.

There seem to be ALOT of questions on these videos about how a bot only made a certain distance. It's not 'where you got at your farthest point' it's 'where did you wind up by the time we stopped you'. Napalm in the first one was over 7m BECAUSE of Sir Killalot. He pushed their bot and wedged it between the ramp and railing, but a decent ways down, so it was technically past the 7m mark. Piece did NOT make it far, as Sir Killalot was holding it just BARELY past the brick wall spot, so it barely went anywhere. Caliban had a terrible score because Sir Killalot pushed it all the way back to the rails at the beginning, even IF it knocked the 3m mark off the wall, it didn't matter... it ended up .2m from the starting line. It's not a hard concept to see how they score things, watch Season 1, and continue watching. You pick up the rules quickly if you pay enough attention.

'why don't the house robots just keep themselves to their own lanes?

Caliban looked awesome. I wish it got past the Gauntlet, because I think it would have beaten pretty much every other robot in the heat. I can't understand why they had SIr Killalot take Piece de Resistance further down the Gauntlet, it's one of the worst Robots I have ever seen on the show- weak armour, slow, weak weapon, and incredibly little power- it couldn't knock down one skittle. Why it was allowed into the series while great robots like Griffon were originally reserves is beyond me.

JP has a point. 3:59 is a GHASTLY sight. :P

@BromTown They should both host :P Charles for the exciting play by play, and Clarkson just to rip on everyone :P

Yes, Caliban WAS the first full-body spinner! Thank god they went out!

Robot Wars is still ongoing in the UK it's just not televised :)

2C'mon stop, it they've gone beserk!" Jonathan Peirce is such a good commentator!

Shame that Caliban didn't make it though the gauntlet round, it would have done well in the arena.

Shame, Caliban looks like it could have inflicted some damage.

@Daiyuki117 got pushed backwards and yes that counts even though it should be different

Like Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest, well that dates it, today he would say UK.

Why even go by Killalot's route XD?

i always wanted his jackets XD

my farts are more dangerous than Piece De Resistance!

No, sadly it just ended, but I want it back, the house robots still exist, and so do quite a few of the robots, especially the successful ones.

This used to be a tv show...

yeah, but I want it back in this format, with the proper house robots, and the bigger and better arena.

House robots CEASE When you told to.

8:24 BESERK HOUSE ROBOTS!!!!!

Piece de Resitance was lucky that Caliban had a design flaw.

I feel horrible knowing PDR got past the first round. That poor machine, it really shouldn't have seen this battlefield with the equipment it had.

yup

And now we have shows like Jersey shore, sad how TV got changed

lol demolition demon was awesome. house bots cant do shit against that type of robot.

with the newest series just having ended, the robots in this episode look so cheap xD

Wish i could get this in decent quality

Clarkson would've probably been just that fired up after a few toots on the crack pipe too

strage editing how they cut from action to interview

yes this was an amazing show better than anything that's on the tv now its all crap cheep reality tv cause its cheep and way too easy to make if bbc or any company invested in robot wars or combat robotics with education thing behind it so many more people would get into all sorts of things to do with robotics.. electronics hydraulics metal work etc

Did it get canceled

its funny to see how unsufisticated these botscare compaired to todays standards

Skittles?

8:35 wtf why they attacking him?

@ 10:08 Nil point

BARRELS!?!?!? (pewdiepie referance)

It amuses me that there is a blatant flail weapon in this series, when in the 1st World Championship a similar, much more controlled flail weapon was banned outright. Safety standards back then were amusingly British; 'eh, it'll be fine with a cup of tea!'

I honestly believe that Caliban's distance on the scoreboard was a data glitch and that it was supposed to be 2.0m instead. It makes much more sense since it wasn't moved that far back, and it'd still be out since it's lower than Piece De Resistance's 3.8m.

Well if it was the 3m marker that its weapon sent flying, as Jonathon said it was, then it could only have been slightly behind that!

how did Caliban only go 0.2m? The 1m post was at the back wall!

So wait.. Caliban knocked the 3 Meter marker off the wall.. but only went 0.2m? Umm... What?

Absolutely awful machine :s
