I think someone should have done a search and used a better chart
something like this tennis would have been better.

This is closer to the current results, but I don't know what they are going to do with three teams. 24.79.38.15 (talk) 00:45, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Teams

The Human Competitors

This area has the chart with all the data on the human part of the teams, with only the name of the robots for reference.

The Robots

This area has the chart with 'all' the data on the robots.

█> The whole section covers the teams, which include the humans and the robots, and that's why it is titled "The teams."

The first subsection has the chart with all of the data on the humans of the teams. It only lists the robots for reference.
The second subsection has the chart with all of the data on the robots of the teams. <br?>

Please stop swaping the section title about the teams with the subsection title which is about the humans.
24.79.38.15 (talk) 08:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A "Human Competitors" table would look something more like this, without the team standings, positions, etc:

Robo-Jockey	Age	Occupation	Hometown	Robo-Tech	Age	Occupation	Hometown	Notes
Name	Age	Occupation	Hometown	Name	Age	Occupation	Hometown	Notes

Or split into two separate tables, for Robo-Jockies and Robo-Techs.
This would be an appropriate match for the "Robots" table.

I think recent changes cover some of the problems you've identified, I went ahead and moved the the team standings, positions, etc before I notice you had commented here as well as below, and I don't know if another chart split is really necessary, but if you think it looks better to seperate jockey & tech go ahead with the changes, I don't see that it will hurt the article. 24.79.38.15 (talk) 21:20, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: Shouldn't the "TEAMS" section symantically/logically include all the data for all teams?

We have a case where the titles of a section and a subsection is in dispute and being swapped, shouldn't the section with the total team data be title the teams and the subsection with the data only about the humans be titled humans, and the subsection with all the data on robots be titled robots???

24.79.38.15 (talk) 08:12, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The first subsection has a chart with more than just data on the humans. Each row contains the names of each team member, including the robot, as well as their rankings, positions, and notes.

This chart was titled "The Teams" from the beginning.

It remained titled "The Teams" when I researched and created the chart for "The Robots." (See 01:56, 20 April 2013)

The swapping that has been done is swapping in the title "The Human Competitors" for the original title "The Teams."

Additionally, in terms of sets of items, a section heading of "The Teams" implies each subsection below it will be sets of teams. This is not the case for the table "The Robots." That is a table of singletons, not teams.

Lun Esex (talk) 10:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I have already stated, the teams are all three, the two humans and the robot. ~~I don't know what asian word you are tranlating the word "singletons" from, but it doesn't make sense in English to seperate them that way;~~ The show is called ROBOT combat league (the stars of the show), not HUMAN combat league (they three together are the team).

~~You aren't following any logic but your own:~~ As soon as Season Two comes along it will be much easier to see (as interesting as they are now), how wrong your edits are.24.79.38.15 (talk) 19:16, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, part of what you have added belongs in the general overview at the beginning instead, and the other part is currently just redundant. 24.79.38.15 (talk) 19:43, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The current (just made) order of sections is probably the best. Another season can easily be added without much change to the basic general introduction of the topic of the article.
Please take a good look at these concepts and the structure before trying to change it. 24.79.38.15 (talk) 20:03, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The chart that you have suggested works with the logical seasons structure I have tried to get for the article and I am glad for your compromise. I appologize for my blunt and abrasive tone. 24.79.38.15 (talk) 22:04, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wildcard picks

I think the page is missing competitors who voted in a wildcard selection:

Robohammer
Game Over
Drone Strike
Brimstone
Steel Cyclone
A.X.E.
Thunder Skull

I don't think the order of ballot boxes has changed as displayed in the episode.

Robohammer voted for Thunder Skull
Thunder Skull voted for Game Over
Brimstone voted for A.X.E.
Game Over voted for Thunder Skull
A.X.E. voted for Steel Cyclone
Steel Cyclone voted for Brimstone
Drone Strike voted for Steel Cyclone

This is the episode with the included timestamp on the URL.197.2.58.161 (talk) 17:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the second Power-up Challenge displayed in the fifth episode:

Drone Strike finished 3 minutes and 29 seconds
Crash finished 3 minutes and 47 seconds
Brimstone finished 3 minutes and 04 seconds
Steampunk finished 2 minutes and 42 seconds
Scorpio finished 3 minutes and 37 seconds
A.X.E. finished 2 minutes and 34 seconds

The fastest has got two choices; choose an opponent or attach a weapon to their robot. In S1, A.X.E. choose an opponent i.e Scorpio.41.230.134.91 (talk) 20:11, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
