Funny, I recall Robot Wars being originally aired in Britain. Yet somehow, you thieving colonials stumbled upon its glorious carapace, quickly tainting it with your filthy manipulators and in a vain act of futility creating a stale effigy of it, so that you may refer to it as "American". I bet you hired an American actor to host your utterly American show. I bet you relish in the pretense that all programmes (Britsh English, maggot!) of quality originate in the Yooo-Ess of A. Well, remember this when you're watching the "hilarious" Yankeefied Spaced (http://www.left4dead411.com/forums/index.php?action=vthread&forum=3&topic=1361&page=0#msg35288); the Brits did it first, they did it better, and also Simon Pegg is really great so good luck in emulating him god where's my Ritalin




On a more serious note, I'm fascinated by the ostensible motility of these constructs. The way they recover from, err, "blows" (Read: tripping) is quite awesome, really.
Can't wait to get my ass kicked by a full-size robot.



Edit:

Robot Wars was a US based robot competition from 1994-1997, and is a British game show broadcast on BBC Two from 1997 until 2002



OK, I get it, but the thing about Spaced still stands!

Wow that was pretty cool

I liked the part when the little red guy get the other robot in a headlock lol

[Sifer2]

Pretty neat but they don't have weight divisions? Cause that last fight looked a little unfair lol the big one could just roll over him. Anyway I want one of those things now haha.

I believe he meant its quite different from the RC's with chainsaws we have in our Robot Wars.

Ah, I see, because British shows can't feature chainsaws, eh!? Eh?!
For the record, after having watched some Colonial RW, it's apparent that it's more or less the same as the British variant - chainsaws and all.

[Eddy_of_the_dead]

robot wars was brittish...... stupid americans think they made it......noobs...

Like Quot said, it started out in America...

and the irony is I watched the British show on PBS, I never said it was an American show just that I watched it in America.

[Shrubberyjsc]

Jeez, why the hate?

Still bitter about the Tea Party?

Robots in 2020 or 5000 or whenever, machines still can't think for themselves. We will be on Mars long before anyone can make a machine that "thinks" in the human aspect.

The Brits are still mad because we whooped their asses in Dubaya Dubaya Two along with the Canadians.

Wait what? Am I missing a history lesson, since when did the Commonwealth+Allies lose WW2?
