Catch it on iPlayer, yes its good, Dara Ó Briain is funny, well mostly sarcastic but its the contestants that really make the show. Some very sore losers in a couple of events, spotty teenagers beating highly qualified engineers and my all time favourite team made up of an overly competitive dad and his disinterested offspring ha ha ha

We've been watching it, will catch tonight's on iPlayer tomorrow. Loved last weeks though, taking on the house robots and winning, lol.

Flipped three of them wasnt it?

Yeah was hilarious, the house robots have a massive weight advantage too, they're not limited by the normal restrictions they place on competitors.

Was that Apollo, run by the three ex bluecoats, if so they really pissed of some of the uber geeky teams who were blatantly not happy at being beaten by some normal people.ha ha ha

It was a flipper... Yes it was Apollo (I just Googled).

This one: http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Apollo

"Apollo took time away from its opponent to stray into Dead Metal's CPZ, and became the first robot to flip a House Robot in 2016."

Haha sounds like a long week!

Just found this in the trivia at the bottom of that page:

"Apollo was the first competitor to flip a House Robot in the 2016 series, flipping over Dead Metal, Matilda and Shunt in both of its battles with Storm 2.
Apollo is one of two competitors to flip Matilda over while she wore her flywheel, the other being Tricerabot, and one of two to flip Dead Metal, the other being Gravity."

I've really enjoyed this series, the contestants and their geeky aggro attitudes have made me lol a lot. Overall I think this is a great reincarnation of the show....

There is an america version coming on Spike later which might be fun

Oh yes, a 1 hour show where the robots fight for 5 minutes and the other 55 will be a segment with the contestants speaking about their feeling while some soaring music is played in the background
