TV viewers on Sunday night got a break from the Olympic Games to take in some real sport in the form of Robot Wars.
Well, maybe not quite, but the BBC show continued its triumphant return with an achievement for the ages.
The latest contender to make a name for itself was Apollo, with the Welsh-built robot flipping not one but two of the house robots.

People were stunned.

Especially when Apollo flipped dead metal for a
second time.

They knew how big a deal it was.

But some were left wanting more

Even if others thought some things should remain sacred in the world of Robot Wars

Team Apollo were pretty happy with their achievements - and why wouldn't they be?

After
the excitement of week one, we've also had
the entrance of Foxic to contend with (even if it might not have been the best around).
We're excited to see what the show does for its next trick. Whatever it does, Robot Wars has already won us over, just like it did the first time around.
