On today's episode we ask, how wide can you make a robot? Nope, even wider than that. We also talk about unfortunate names, strangely accurate names, robots that claim more than they can deliver, and discover the worst robot to ever finish higher than the majority of modern Battlebots.

The Roasting Robots Podcast is a humorous, sarcastic look at the different kinds of robots that have been entered into Battlebots competitions over the years. We love them, and we're glad they were made (or sometimes were never built), but that doesn't mean we won't crack some jokes at their expense. Each episode the robots we roast are chosen completely at random from 20 years of Battlebots history.

Sometimes battle robots aren't very big, sometimes they're huge. Included in this episode are internal weapons, a black metal band, Google Chrome, and the see-saw from Robot Wars Series 1.

This special New Year's episode of the podcast features a robot too dangerous to compete, two very different definitions of 'industrial', a forklift that is somehow not 'industrial', and a Reliant Robin.

Leave it to Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage to build a robot so dangerous it gets banned from competition twice. Other robots featured include a pile of truck parts and way more plagiarized Robot Wars machines than anyone is comfortable with.

The unlucky 13th episode of the podcast features both halves of a robot, some goofy names, a robot made from dryer vents, and more chum than you can shake a stick at. Also one of our guests almost dies.

Brace yourselves for the most adorable murder robot ever made, a robot that doesn't know the definition of "wedge", a tupperware container, and whatever "Sonic Boom Pneumatic Spear Gun" is supposed to mean.

Some absolute legends are featured on today's episode including a robot made from a toilet, a bot too heavy for the super heavyweight class, some robots that will give you tetanus, and a robot phallus.

It's time for our first listener suggestion special! Every robot on today's episode was suggested by our audience, and somehow they managed to give us all super-heavyweight class robots. So brace yourselves for the nonsense that they have chosen for us, such as sawblade wheels, giant wheels, robots with 3 different sizes of wheels, and robots with no wheels at all.
