Robot Review: Donald Thump (S10E01)

Robot Review: Donald Thump (S10E01)

Bigly. Now, before we begin, I alluded to a few changes in how I’m doing the Robot Reviews this series in one of my Facebook posts. The actual reviews are staying the same, but the sequencing is changing. I decided that just basing the scores on how robots perform in the heat is inherently unfair to those robots that do get through, so for this series anyway I’m only going to review a robot once…

Two new episodes per month.  That’s the plan for 2018!  Most likely that means UFI every month, plus a second episode that alternates between Robot Review + something new/experimental.

Robot Review: Tauron (S10E04)

I’m currently without the use of iPlayer because my laptop apparently hates it, which makes it a good thing I still have a couple of these to do, because there’s no way I could do a recap right now. Tauron, so cruelly defeated in the opening few seconds of their melee in the 9th wars, are back with an improved machine, looking to take revenge for their early exit and show the world what they were…

Robot Review: The Kegs (S10E04)

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I’ve spent the past few days fighting with my Wi-Fi, but I am making my potentially triumphant return with the review of a clusterbot made from the world’s greatest recycled material- beer kegs. Yes, this year’s representative of Robot Wars’ cannon fodder category comes from former Greenpeace supremo John Frizell, who has built a pair of robots out of one whole beer…

Robot Review: Vulture (S10E03)

Robot Review: Vulture (S10E03)

Vulture were another of the new robots to enter into this war, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the warzone. Not content with just the one weapon to attack competitors with, Vulture went ahead and combined two weapons into one. A 6000rpm vertical spinning blade on a pivot that turned it into an axe made up this custom, hybrid weapon, giving it two routed of attack. The robot runs at…

Robot Review: Bucky The Robot (S10E03)

Robot Review: Bucky The Robot (S10E03)

OK so I’m not very good at keeping to a schedule, but seeing as we have two weeks until the next episode, this just helps to pass the time. So bear with me for the next couple of days as I finish off the Robot Reviews for Bucky The Robot and Vulture, and then we can get into the recap of yesterday’s episode. So, Bucky The Robot. Other than having a cool name and bringing Dara O Briain’s love…
