Robot Wars S10 - Week 5 Analysis

This is turning into one of the most unpredictable seasons of Robot Wars ever... which is a bit of a pain in the ass for me, when the whole point of this blog is to predict it. Still, the fifth and final heat looks a bit easier to predict: it should be a straight fight between Magnetar, the successor to Pulsar, and veteran axe-bot Thor. The other bots vying for contention are front-hinged flipper Push to Exit, stylish crusher Coyote, a much-improved Hobgoblin, and a not-quite-so-improved Expulsion. Who will take the glory?

Robot Wars S10 - Week 4 Analysis

Last week saw Rapid's redemption, Terrorhurtz flattening everything in sight, and Apex self-destructing, so what can we expect from this week? Drum spinner Concussion had an impressive debut last year, reaching the Grand Final, but they'll face stiff competition from two-time FRA champions Iron-Awe 6 and the wacky-but-deadly Nuts 2. Also in the mix are vertical spinner Tauron, vertical crusher Androne 4000... and a robot made from a beer keg.

Robot Wars S10 - Week 3 Analysis

Last week saw the most competitive heat line-up in Robot Wars history, so how on earth do you top that? Well, this week's heat has a lot less pedigree, with long-running veterans and two-time FRA champions Terrorhurtz the standout name. John Reid's famed axe-bot has struggled in the last two series, but will go into this heat as one of the favourites.

Standing in Terrorhurtz' way are Apex and Rapid, two strong machines hoping to bounce back from underwhelming debuts; Bucky, basically an enormous biting mouth on wheels; Vulture, one of the most maddest, coolest designs I've ever seen; and Track-Tion, the first tracked robot to appear in the reboot. Last week may be a tough act to follow, but this is not a weak heat by any means.
