Top 10 Best Robot Wars Drivers

Firestorm beat fantastic robots like Terrorhurtz, Panic Attack, Pussycat, Dantomkia, Bigger Brother, Wheely Big Cheese, S3, Wild Thing, and Hypno-Disc.

Graham also came very close to beating Razer a couple of times. Firestorm certainly wouldn't have been as successful without his driving skill.

Firestorm is just one of those good all-around robots. It was always aggressive, always finding ways to get underneath robots, and Graham was an overall very well-rounded driver.

Firestorm was also the first robot to achieve an Out of the Arena with a hinged flipper and the first to topple Mr. Psycho.

Pussycat seems fiendishly difficult to control, yet David Gribble managed so often to deftly avoid attacks and accurately put that cat's claw blade to work against an opponent's weak spots.

He wasn't straight-up called the best driver in Robot Wars for no reason, nor were they exaggerating!

I tried to drive Pussycat in the Iron Maidens competition, so I know how hard it was to drive. He was a very talented young man and is still sadly missed.

You would assume such an oddly designed robot would be hard to control, but with this talented young lad at the controls, he drove it to victory many times.

R.I.P. to one of Robot Wars' finest drivers.

The man who beat all odds and drove the charity entry to victory against the roughest and toughest of the Second Wars.

Kim was not only a modest chap but also a great driver (if a little naughty).

All due respect to George Francis and David Gribble (RIP), but I couldn't in good conscience not give my vote to the fan favorite from Wales.

Panic Attack would've done alright with other drivers, but only Davies could turn it into a champion.

Ever since the first wars, George has been credited for his superb driving skills. Plus, Chaos 2 was the first (and only) robot to win two consecutive series.

Certainly not one to be overlooked, Wild Thing came up against some of the toughest opponents known to Robot Wars (Chaos 2, Hypno-Disc, etc.).

While it didn't always come out on top, it was well-driven, always put up a great fight, and only really lost on close calls.

The key to Razer being so effective was that it always knew where a robot's weakness was and how to get around it, e.g., puncturing Chaos 2's CO2 bottle to disable the flipper.

Good driving has got to be credited for that.

One of Robot Wars' finest young drivers, Andrew was not afraid to go up against the big boys.

He proved very sharp with his driving, but Hydra never had the success it truly deserved.

I think Paul Snook from the Tetanus Booster team summed it up best: "You never see the back of Tornado. It's always on you."

Call it a box on wheels if you will, but you can't deny Andrew was in control of some serious power here and used it well.

He has lots of experience from competing outside of Robot Wars and pulled off a tense Series 10 final.

Stinger was very disappointing in Series 3. However, in Series 4, people were surprised as the thwackbot, originally seeded 20th, rose to 3rd place.

The entire robot was a weapon on wheels, so perfect control was very much needed. This was executed very well, especially in the 4th war, with its hit-and-run tactics and spinning its "spear-mace" that weighed as much as an average woman.

His driving skill was very clear, particularly when he drove Bigger Brother to victory against Hypno-Disc despite there being hardly anything left of Bigger Brother.

Hypno-Disc scored some fantastic victories, and his good driving ability certainly contributed.

The only robot, I think, that never won a series but should have done.

A magnificent robot controlled by a very skilled driver.

A contestant from the new series who impressed us all. At only 15, his driving was excellent, and he beat such great robots as Dantomkia and Big Nipper.

Quite a skillful driver for a well-rounded robot. Too bad Gemini never managed to live up to its brilliant premise.

Very much described as Robot Wars' Inspector Gadget, his unique backpack to hold the controller helped him use it more easily.

He proved just as aggressive (if a little unstable) in the arena.
