- Follow up
- The follow ups are easily startled, but they’ll soon be back - and in greater numbers.
- Bugglebots
- Doing Bugglebots was amazing
- We can’t talk about a huge amount
- Our first experience of full combat
- Bugglebots is an excellent live show
- And a logistical miracle
- Two 12hr+ days of work from the crew
- We must now keep our secrets for months. Boo.
- Battlebots
- Bingo talk will be saved for the next Bingo episode
- 2 hour runtime
- It’s not for everybody
- Pacing currently seems good
- Pits segments are meaningful
- A nice, long chat with Ray
- The graphics still suck
- Quantum entanglement
- Was it an entertaining fight?
- Was it a manufactured controversy?
- The rules you can read vs the rules you’re told
- That interview
- Conspiracy theories with Ryan
- What now?
- According to some sources, Cobalt’s body is 100% AR500. Could this be the case for some other robots?
- Main event
- Was it good? Does it need to be good?
- How much fight reordering does Battlebots do?
- Duck! vs Bombshell was the first fight of the event, and is in episode 2
- This, incidentally, would have been a valid opening main event - we will have to see if the fight itself would have been worthy
- Re:MARS livestream
- Sam had a bad time
- Live events are hard, and this was a pretty good effort from everyone involved

- (Sorry sound guy, you were probably doing your best)
- Re:MLARaS = Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics and Space
- Chomp’s vacuum feet
- Professor Hutchins explains exactly what AI is

- RTNCTI
- RTNCTI lives on, in a universe where the 2019 season doesn’t exist
- Where it all began: 5 episodes and 4 months ago
- Carbide vs DisConstructor vs King B Remix
- Series 10 Carbide, Series 8 DisConstructer, Robogames King B
- Is it ever offensive to suggest that a Robot Wars competitor will probably lose to Carbide?
- End Game vs Eruption vs Sawblaze
- Oh no…
- Most recent versions of all three
- End Game bringing the potential but not the results
- Good wins balanced out by bad losses
- Inability to self right reliably
- Eruption and Sawblaze are both exceptionally driven and extremely effective
- Can Eruption adapt to the Battlebots arena?
- High-5 vs Reality vs Splatter
- Poor High-5…
- Reality with a reasonable record, Splatter coming in with only one fight but an otherwise proven concept
