As an excitable young kid there were so many battles from earlier Robot Wars series' that I loved, the only problem being that its been so long since I've seen them I forget which ones I particularly loved.
Even though I've seen a lot of comments (especially on Youtube) about Razer being boring, I still just admire it in every way
So for that reason, the Southern Annihilator final will always stick in my mind, purely for the fact that no house robot had ever been...err...abused like that before. The Wheely Big Cheese fights with the OOTA from almost the middle of the arena were a bit memorable, although watching back on Youtube, the robots didn't seem to fly as high as I remembered at the time.
Gravity's six second elimination of Dantomkia was pretty epic as well, but for endurance, tense-ness, edge-of-your-seat stuff I have to agree with you Glen on the Chaos 2 vs Wild Thing fight. The way Chaos 2 managed to cling on to the last millimetres of arena floor not once but twice to avoid being pitted was sensational. Felt kinda bad for the Adams family after that though; neither robot deserved to lose that fight
So many more that I can't remember, must get watching old episodes again. I started re-watching S7 ages ago but got to Heat D then forgot about it
Oh, and fave robots would have to be:
-Razer
-Hypnodisc
-Chaos 2 (didn't like it at first, beating Hypno and winning almost
everything
but once I saw it perform live and had a chance to drool over it on static display I gave it a lot more admiration)
-Cassius 2 (again, an awesome machine to peek into and prod at a static display)
-Panic Attack (around the S4/S5 design time)
-Typhoon 2 (patriotism FTW! )
and while I never really saw much of Battlebots, I can't let Warhead escape my list.
Top three house robots would be Dead Metal, Growler and Shunt _________________ Jamie
