Roboteers, Stand By!: Recent Episodes
Rob Taylor-Hastings & Richard Perry
A recap and review of everything robots. From competitive leagues like Robot Wars & King Of Bots to global S.T.E.M initiatives Rob & Perry explore it all. The boys welcome everyone from die hard metal heads to budding engineers to join the conversation and expand the awesome world of competitive robot combat.
It's been a whole year since RoboNerd blew our tiny minds and now it's back... kinda... What with the world ending etc. This year RoboNerd is turbo virtual and we're doing a crossover, baby! If it works for The Avengers, why the hell not us?

We're back again! Months after Rob's birthday and his present (a pile of robot parts) still lies in a box. Time to put that right! Gaze in wonder as an idiot tries to build a robot guided by another idiot.
We had some connection issues throughout so apologies for the lack of Perry's voice in parts.

This week marks Rob's birthday and as a treat the boys pontificate about money-is-no-expense robot combat leagues. One goes big, one goes spendy, guess who does what!

This week we welcome the current holder of 2 UK championship titles, Shane Lale! This seasoned pro talks us through his career from start to present with slight deviation for more moss talk.
Please enjoy the sounds of nature as Shane also low key shows off his out door space in this time of lock down... I am in no way jealous.
Out of their minds (and out of ideas) the chaps turn to Netflix's Tiger King for inspiration. Surely the wildly popular documentary can hold any link to robot combat... can it?
In yet another first for this podcast, we've got a guest star! Sarah from team Nelly comes on to tell us about her time on Battlebots, the new Scrapplebots challenge and tests the boys on their robot knowledge. SPOILERS- They aren't very good!

Perry has gone and done the unthinkable, he's only gone and built a bleedin' robot What a traitor! I thought we all understood the 'we talk about but don't actually do the robots' thing. Anyway, lets see how he got there and if he has any advice for other budding builders. Massive shout out to the Bristol Bot Builder team who's website single-handedly gave Perry all the info and products he needed!

Yay! The world is in total lock down! As a result, we are dusting off an archived episode just to give y'all a little extra content in these dark days. S2 Ep 2 is coming later this week, in the meantime enjoy listening to two idiots who had no idea what was coming for the world!
After a long and unexpected hiatus, the boys are back and (after spending far too long discussing Reykjaviks famous penis museum) are keen to discuss the latest developments in robot combat!... Basically slagging off most of the announced competitors for this years Battlebots...
On this festive episode the boys dive deep into Bugglebots Heat 2. Things get a tad crazy and Christmas is mentioned a maximum of 4 times...

Heat D of Robot Wars Series 2 and there's finally some action! Join the boys as they enthuse about famous bots and delve deep into chocolate factory lore.
This week the boys continue the fight through the quagmire that is Robot Wars history. As time goes on we do have to wonder how it lasted so long!

Heat B! As the second wars trundle on the boys tackle some of life's most important questions: What is the best Magnum? What is Perry's favourite fighter jet? Does Points of View still exist? All the best Robot based content... you know?

This week the boys dive into 1993's Robot Wars: The Movie! Is it a cult classic?... Nope! It's utter balls but we've watched it so you don't have to! You'd better be grateful.
This week Rob and Perry do the impossible and make King of Bots entertaining. Yeah, that's right, we're throwing more shade at K.O.B...
All hail UBTECH!
This week is a tad different. The boys are at Robots Live 2019 and are joined by a whole host of roboteers. Check out a behind the scenes look at the UK's official championship with interviews from Nelly The Elebot, Eruption, Apollo, Aftershock and many, many more!
The perfect listen-along companion to the Grand Finale of Battlebots! Find a link to the episode and watch along with Rob & Perry.
This week contains major SPOILERS! for Battlebots episode 15. Rob & Perry breakdown the run up to the Championships and put all their faith in the Peterborough Travelodge's Wifi.
This week Rob is on his lonesome again! Worry not, no toys are reviewed. Instead we dive deep into Robot Wars fan fiction... brace yourselves! Interviews with Ed Wallace of Team Apocalypse fame and The Bristol Bot Builders.
Wowzas! It's our first ever episode from a live event. RoboNerd 2019 was packed with bots, builders and barmy buggers. This is a wild ride of unexpected guests and odd things happening in a carpark.
Robot fighting is in the mainstream news networks! What's going on with the world? Oh and we review Battlebots Series 4 Episode 10.
Battlebots episode 9 is fully unpacked in this bumper episode. In no way do the boys get distracted and start talking about sex toys and personal finance.
This week the lads take a look back at the whole of Robot Wars Series 1. What was awesome? What was crap? Come and have a listen and find out!
This week the boys get desperado with a special episode of Battlebots plus a whole host of robot combat that you may never have heard of! Custard talk is kept to a minimum but a painful flashback may have long lasting ramifications on Rob.
Perry is back (thank goodness!) This week started with good intentions. Simply review the new King Of Bots... Simple, yes? Nope- Off the rails doesn't cover it.
This week Rob is all on his lonesome! To fill the void Perry has left, all chat turns to toys and gadgets. Which robots should you buy and which are the best bargains? Tune in to find out and keep Rob company.
This week is all about the UK's House Robots. Where they came from, what they became, who were the fan favourites and who was forgotten. Also learn how Rob became ousted from the Midlands and was mocked by a flock of metal clad babes...
Rob & Perry get together to discuss how they do robot fighting across the pond in the good ol' US of A. The conversation in no way gets sidetracked by custard.
In this, the debut episode of Roboteers Standby, Rob & Perry compare and contrast fighting bots 20 years apart. Does Robot Wars 1998 still stand up? Can the new competitions like King Of Bots learn a thing or two from the classic series? Tune in and find out!
