  Been underwhelmed with the relaunch so far, i mean it has its moments but the previous series and the latest episode just have way too much filler. They spend so long talking about the roboteers and their lives, and honestly who gives a shit? Now with the first episode of the latest series they are doing cuts to the presenting teams reaction to the fights which is utterly pointless.
  And i agree on the presenting team Outlaw, i have nothing against Dara or Angela. But Craig showed more enthusiasm, and had more of presence with less time focusing on him as a presenter.

  In a one hour show, you get maybe 15-20 minutes of actual action, there's too much focus on the presenting team, & the robot teams, & that robotic voiceover, it's so annoying, sounds like a guy with laryngitis, talking on a voicebox, the voiceover from the original Robot Wars was so much better, a much deeper voice, & spoke so much more clearly

  Carbide actually struggled in the last episode, taken the full 3 minutes, by Gabriel 2, that thing was still mobile, despite having its wheels mangled, Carbide suffered a bit of damage in its next fight too, & could have been retired because of a battery issue, but they came back, to secure their place, in the grand final

  I agree the voice announcing the teams is annoying and to be honest half the time I cannot understand it! The team introductions are also way too long. If it's not broke don't fix it springs to mind!

  A robot from Robot Wars of old appeared tonight, Terrorhurtz, with a double edged axe, there was a robot called Apex, that pretty much spun itself to bits, the spinner flew off, & broke through the bulletproof/plexi glass
  
  Rapid, a robot with a fairly powerful flipper, flipped 2 or 3 robots out of the arena, including one after about 10 seconds

  The re-format is a bit better, than the last series, as they're not battling for points, 2 battles, each with 3 robots, also with a 'robot redemmption' round, with there being a 10 robot, last robot standing battle, at the start of the grand final

  The thing I don't really understand about Robot Wars is, why is there a 100KG weight limit on all entries, 100KG combined in the case of a cluster bot, especially when the house robots are so much heavier, Sir Killalot being the heaviest i'd guess, at least they're not using Mr Psycho, the hammer alone must have weighed 100KG, at least

  After seeing the way that huge metal blade flew off Apex, it makes you wonder how long before someone gets killed by one of these things. The team must have been in the same room as it when they were building and testing it out, they are probably thinking what if... that had happened then?

  Miss Mr Psycho and his dog I believe was called Growler? ooer! Soon the audience will be behind such thick screens that a RPG won't get through it let alone a flying blade or robot, was impressed with the flipper robot last week especially the flip that broke one of the lights!
