If you don’t watch Robot Wars then you definitely should. It’s about as high a competitive filled show as there is on television. While we’re still waiting on Robot Wars to get to U.S. television it’s alive and well on BBC. On Sunday night’s show, Team Behemoth which is made up of four adults went head to head with Team Cherub, a group of three children and their guardian. But when presenter Angela Scanlon announced that Team Behemoth had lost, Ant the team captain stormed off camera muttering “whatever” under his breath. He could be seen handing the robot’s controller to one of his teammates and walking off set without congratulating the youngsters. Not exactly the finest display of sportsmanship. However, there were some mixed reactions online to the way Ant reacted.
To be fair he was upset at his own team for changing the weapon on the robot for a critical match. (Which went wrong and didn’t function lol) I watched the whole thing. Honestly the judges did make the right decision. Kids robot performed better.
As childish as walking out like this is, he was right to be mad at his team. They should have known what height robot could and could not be grabbed by the new weapon. If they’d have stuck with the original flipper, they would have won easily. Cherub didn’t have any weapons, other than a couple of slowly rotating flippers.
Also, the final between Eruption and Cherub was incredible.
Check out the video below. Looks pretty bad on the surface doesn’t it?
