It's the final heat of The Third Wars - and the final chance for hopeful robots such as Dreadnaut and Rattus Rattus to book their place with the last slot in the Semi-Finals.
There's nothing more dissapointing than a robot getting imobilized before the fight even begins. I think all robots should be doing some sort of test to make sure they can drive
It's been a very long time since I've seen this heat, longer than any other in this series probably, completely forgot most of it... my god this was painful to watch. Nothing worked! Always had a soft spot for Trident though, it's a unique design and the team seem like cool guys. Twn Twrn is stunning to look at, too
They really did save the worst for last with the heats of this series. Not a single robot even remotely impressive. Although SMIDSY would go on to be pretty solid in future series.
This heat has to go down as a lowlight of the series. It would've been worth it to see Dreadnaut make the semi finals, noone in this heat would've troubled Chaos 2 in the next round. I think they would've been better off inviting Big Cheese, X Terminator, Behemoth, Berserk 2, King Buxton, Pussycat, Napalm and Cerberus back for a wildcard heat.
Dreadnaut coasting through the heat on a dead draw and a robot that killed itself for them, only to give up the ghost the moment they encountered something halfway functional, absolutely did not deserve to advance.
@@ToaArcan I didn’t say they deserved it, just with all the bad luck they had in the last two series it would’ve been nice to see. Trident had by and by a dead rubber against twn twrn, they hardly annihilated the field either.
I would have loved to have seen Dreadnaut go through. They built decent machines that were controlled and piloted really well, just wioth 1 key problem; it kept breaking down!! - But every time they came back, it was a little more reliable than the last time. It would have been cool to see them in series 5-7!
Scarab's core design was great, could have really done with four wheel drive and stronger tyres to ensure a better grip seeing as the robot was made to perform grab + push tactics.
How to Robot Wars: 1.) Come up with a slow and bulky robot with a weapon that couldn't hurt your opponent even if they were made from cardboard 2.) Don't test it, let alone practice driving 3.) Suffer from radio interference until the house robots have to attack someone to keep us from falling asleep.
Please note that the first Semi-Final probably won't be up until Sunday, as my next point of call is to work on the best battles from The Third Wars video.
They should have done seedings for this series. Maybe that would have saved us from this dismal heat. Even the heat final is like a very mediocre round one fight. Shame about SMIDSY, they were good in later series when there wasn't radio interference messing them up. Feel a bit bad for Psychokiller too, looks like they had the same problem.
oh huh, you can see the nemesis sequel bot being wheeled in after rattus's demise. I wonder if that means that heat was being filmed at the same time as this one?
Engineering is one thing. Another is driving and controlling. Those (sometimes) well conceived machines behave like drunk and erratic fools going nowhere with over spinning, over steering and suicidal movements. Big muscles with no brain are useless. In many cases, a simple but cleverly controlled pusher with no weapon would do the job.
Craig really thought the 3-wheel part of Trident was the back? And one in the team said it was a common mistake? How? How does anyone ever make that mistake? It's extremely clear that the 3-wheel side should be the front, it'd be surprising any other way.
Well that first heat was ridiculous. Since when was a house robot allowed to pit a competitor that hadn't actually broken down? Really Rattus Rattus should have lost on damage incurred (since all the damage to Smidsy was done by Dead Metal). Neither bot was going to win the heat but still... (And Philippa thought this was one of the best fights. wtf? We know she's deranged but seriously...) Altogether the least interesting heat. When the highlight is Trident's quick reaction in pushing Victor 2 into the pit (that it had already half fallen into) you know the standard is pretty low. And what the HELL were the house thugbots doing smashing up Trident when Dreadnought had stopped moving? Seriously, what do the stupid house scumbots bring to the series?
I was 4 years old when I first saw robot wars and seeing these videos brings back happy times
If SMIDSY wasn't have radio interference, it would have totally made the semis. This heat was trash.
Diotior: We're gonna name this robot something nobody can pronounce!
Twn Trwn: Hold my beer.
You know, your point is made even funnier by the fact that you spelt Díotóir wrong :D

That's why they switched to having the bots drive into the arena in future series.

Nice to see Philippa showing off her jumping skills. Fabulous P.F! (2:38)
(After Dreadnaught is immobilised)
Trident: "Why do I hear boss music?"
Holy Grail reference from Rattus Rattus. Love it.

Not even Rattus Rattus (even though it had trouble with the bodywork)?

Agree aside Pussycat.

Aww, Twn Trwn based their robot on the people from Rhyl
It's fair to say This Heat was Weaker than a cup of McDonalds Tea!
Love this show, thank you!!!!
“Can’t come out of the CPZ”
Yeah... about that...
Now I understand why 4-5 had reigning runner-ups as the main seeds for the last heat.
Rattus Rattus :D
"Tis but a flesh wound"
I feel sorry for all the Sinclair C5's that have been scavenged for motors.
Is it just me, or did the house robots aim for the completely wrong robot in the last battle??
😂😂😂 they did it on purpose, the match was over and they attacked trident like nothing ding ding ding ding ding ding this match is overrrrrr🤣🤣🤣
WTF ?? GET YOUR HOUSE ROBOTS OUT !!!
Victor 2 was all over the shop when he was pitted. From Joe. X

You can see a few robots from the following heat in the background of a few interviews. So yeah. They definitely did do that.
Rattus Rattus 😁 but Velocirippa 😆🤣😆 "spinning madly" 😆🤣😆

The female host is stunning 😅 unfortunately I'm only 29 at this moment..
.
Anyway wow.. she's a stunner 🤙🌹
Philippa Forrester. From Joe. X
How do you pronounce your robot's name?
Them: Ah, yes, it's *Welsh Welshy*
Craig really thought the 3-wheel part of Trident was the back?
And one in the team said it was a common mistake?
How? How does anyone ever make that mistake?
It's extremely clear that the 3-wheel side should be the front, it'd be surprising any other way.
That final summed up this heat, awful.
8:18 Are we just going to ignore that Dead Metal drove itself into the pit? Lol
Psychokiller, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Your driving was fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-far too erratic.
Twn trn... Possibly the worst robot ever.
What's your next planned series to upload once you're done with everything series 3? My vote would be for Extreme I.
Yep, Extreme 1 is definitely the next one up!
Awesome!

Anybody notice that Philippa always wore the same outfit? Also, at times you could catch her exposed belly button which was actually cute at that time
Craig did also. It was for continuity's sake.
They probably filmed the whole series in a couple of days
Weird comment
Yyyy 2x barrels, balls and few bricks = 60? What? Also Killalot stole few point by hitting that big ball into pit
Any fans of robot wars ever play the board game robo rally?
Actually i like these two weird bots Victor and Trident, but about Victor: u cant have a decent robot if it cannot ram the opponent
Trident lured Victor 2 towards the pit and trident won. From Joe. X
How did Mortis only score 60? The barrels must have been about 30, and then add the sphere and the multiball, surely that's more than 60.
Actually, I think the sphere didn't count because Mortis never touched it
Enter S.M.I.D.S.Y.!
41:10 this match is over ding ding ding ding ding ding, what are you doing you fools ding ding ding ding this match is OVERRRRR!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Victor rebuilt in 6 months to kill its own self
Trident got Victor 2 by putting him in the pit. From Joe. X
Twn Trwn, it was amazingly, spectacularly, wonderfully..........crap
Craig charles is literally the definition of cringe
60 this year he is!.
Fuck off he's a boss and 100 times cooler than you you sad virgin you're watching robot wars you nonce
