It's been a while since I've posted any replicas, but I figured why bother making new replicas when there's plenty of old ones I could release instructions for? With that said, here's a Battlebots and Robot Wars legend replica, each with FREE downloadable instructions on Rebrickable.com. It's Ray Billings' Tombstone and George Francis' Chaos 2!

If anyone wants to even further support my Lego work, it would mean a lot to me if any of ya'll also considered purchasing instructions of my original Combat Robot Models (or anything from my Rebrickable account for that matter), since I'm not legally allowed to profit off of copyrighted robots from shows like Battlebots and Robot Wars. My OC robots are of even higher quality, and will keep improving with every new addition!
Of course, if you can't purchase any of my paid stuff, no worries, even a mere like and comment would mean a LOT to me. See ya'll later!
Rise of the Robots continue coverage of the second season of Robot Wars Extreme. Join Alan & The Griz as they discuss the Robot Rampage where the Middleweights, Lightweights, Featherweights and Antweights come out to play.
You can check out the episode at the link below or on your podcatcher of choice. https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/rise-of-the-robot0/episodes/S28-Ep11-Rise-of-the-Robots-Robot-Wars-Extreme-Series-2--The-Robot-Rampage-e2u5j5g
There's a robot that I remember from the 2016-2017 reboot. It's like basically 2 large thing wheels with (I think) red tyres, connected by a white rod with like, a knife or something. I don't 100% remember what it looked like so I might be making this up lol
The Mauler...well...it wasn't such a very good suggestion if only X-Terminator (ENG) replaced them and went against cerberus it would be B-B-C, B-B-D, B-B-B and finally if 101 won against Razer B-B-101 ah screw it what kind of coke have i been drinking
I was reading about my favorite team the International Wreck Crew and saw their Techno Games machine (Stealth Stingray). I think the thing looks pretty cool and then I got thinking: Robot Wars on the water!
Would this even be entertaining? What sort of machines would we see?
Rise of the Robots concludes their coverage of the New Blood Championship as Alan & The Griz discuss the grand final as Thor, Storm 2, Mute and Cedric Slammer fight for a seeded place in the 7th UK Championships.

I loved this show when it aired originally. I was a kid and pretty much you couldn't go anywhere without seeing some form of Robot Wars, i just wanna watch Chaos 2, Razer and Hypno-disc do their thing
X-Terminator - Blacksmith
Pussycat - Probably Witch Doctor 1
Mortis - Tank Tracked Battlebot with Royal Pain's Axe
Beast Of Bodmin or Roadblock depicting whichever one is the best - Matilda
However as for lifters like Evil Weevil and Panic Attack i am not too sure about bronco and/or duck and not too sure about converting the pullbacks however if you know which Hexbug r/C is best feel free to leave a comment so that i can see
Flippers really take away from the excitement of the competition. They’re essentially just ramps on wheels, requiring minimal skill compared to the precision and ingenuity involved in designing bots for powerful hits, sparks, and true combat. In my opinion, the show would be far more engaging and impressive without them.

The Furnace - One Mech at a time enters and picks up 1 out of 5 highly explosive fuel cells and then have a mere of 8 seconds to reach and drop fuel cell intro one out of the 2 high point scoring bins 10 points for the left bin 20 points for the right bin and if the mech gets the time wrong then both the mech and fuel cell will be incinerated by fire from the house flamethrowers and by the firey flamthrowing pitbull terrier that makes Sgt.Bash and Growler look like a mix between eachother that is Scorch
The Nest - One Mech at a time will enter the nest and shoot the door target to gain access to chamber 1 then they'll be surrounded by 5 carnolid plants all they got to do is pull down a carnolid plant to open the door to and gain access to chamber 2 once in the firing zone the mech has only 30 seconds to shoot the alien targets: 2 points for the outer rib 10 points for a bullseye right at the face and the mech doesn't get out in time it will lose half of the total of points that it has
Alien Hunt - Two Aliens hang dead in their chains 5 Points for the Mech can cause surgical rib removal once the carnolids are into the arena it is 5 points for running them over and 20 points for a spearing kill with their weapons in the final 30 seconds The Assassinoid enters the arena any shots on The Assassinoid scores the Mech 5 Points and if The Assassinoid hits the mech's target it is game over

Mechanoids BBC Three 2003-2004 Ideal World Productions for BBC Scotland
Here is my ideal concept for my fan made technogames series
There will be 64 Super Heavyweights on wheels and or catepillar tracks and they'll go head to head in these challenges
Round 1: Obstacle Course
Round 2: Soccer
Round 3: Speedway
Round 4: Tug Of War
Round 5: Sumo
there will also be a few walker robots and minibots for other metre races dancing robots as well as swimming robots hopefully and vigorously
and due to today's technology there will also be a drone flying contest where the drone that flies the fastest and/or highest wins
Hello All,
I have recently re-discovered my love for Robot Wars.
Watched some old episodes on Youtube, and that made me want to play the old games.
I managed to get Arenas of Destruction working on a PS2 emulator on my Android phone.
However, I have had no luck in getting Extreme Destruction to work even when trying a Virtual Machine running Windows XP (SP3)
I have scoured the internet for files both original and cracked, tried loading each new attempt in a variety of compatibility modes with varied (but no real) success. The closet I can get to the game loading is the Intro sequence and Intro video playing, before the game freezes with no more action until I force close it using Task manager.
Alternatively, following the file install instructions (largely the same as any cracked game, replacing the original game file with the cracked version) This will instantly force crash the game when trying to load it.
PC is running on Windows 11, though I have the same issues on the Win XP Virtual Machine.
Has anybody managed to get these ancient games working on any newer machines of the past few years? Any further links or forums any could link me to about this would be appreciated.
So, I'm gonna come right out and say it, I've got 0 experience in the field, the closest I've come to anything like electrical engineering is either wiring in an electric oven, fixing a tumble dryer or swapping out parts on my PC (plus some very light hobbyist soldering experience). But rewatching old robot wars episodes, watching YouTube tutorials on how the parts all work together and creating rough designs has gotten my brain fired up to start building.
Thing is, where should I even start? I'm looking at antweight as it seems to be an inexpensive starting point and theres events relatively nearby, but where should I start in terms of bot building? Start with wedge pushers? Basic flippers? Just go all out and build a beater? Or should I go and experiment with a more basic project before I start?
