Sophie Hitchon broke the British record with a throw | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
The huge effort took her from fifth place to third, | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
Well, she joins me in the studio now. | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
What did it feel like in that moment? | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
It was amazing. We had put so much effort into the training schedule | :01:01. | :01:10. | |
that it was great to win a medal. And you did a bit of a dance. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
I did. So much hard work had gone into it so it was amazing. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Tell me about dancing because I know you used to do ballet before | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
switching to hammer. Why did you do that? | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
I used to do a bit of ballet and I think it helped me get to where I am | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
today. I did other sports at school like hockey and netball and | :01:35. | :01:40. | |
transitioned into athletics because of my parents. | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
How does ballet and your background in that help you with hammer | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
throwing? Balance and posture. You learn them | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
from a young age so that helps. What about the future? I know you're | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
grounded is your biggest fan. He is. You will probably be watching | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
at home. Tell me about Tokyo. | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
We get back into training then we have the World Championships in | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
London next year and then onwards to Tokyo. | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
Thank you for joining us and good luck. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
Robot Wars reached its epic conclusion on Sunday night. | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
40 robots entered the competition and, after six weeks of battles, | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
We went to find out what makes a winner. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
This is Apollo and we are the champions of Robot Wars. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
There is no perfect combination or design to win Robot Wars | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
but there are four main key features when building a robot. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
There is no point going into the arena if you haven't | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
got a weapon because you're not going to do anything | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
You're going to be fighting flippers, spinners, | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
We said, right, were going to have the most powerful flipper | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
there is and build the rest of the robot around that. | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
It is really important to make sure the armour is | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
strong and everything is safe and secure for all the more | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
In fact, one of the robots that we saw in Robot Wars was | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
In fact, it smashed all over the arena. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
Apollo is one of the bigger robots in the competition. | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
It makes it hard for other robots to grab hold of it | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
and push us around the arena so we can keep control of the fights. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
No matter how big your weapons were, how strong your armour is or | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
how heavy your robot is, the most important thing for us was to have | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
We then work out what the best our robot could do | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
The tactic was to hit them straight on, headfirst, and | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
It is a massive achievement for us to win Robot Wars and Apollo, | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Onto footy and record amount has been spent by British | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
football clubs this summer - over one BILLION quid! | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
Last night the transfer window closed with the big last-minute | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
moves being David Luiz coming back to Chelsea after they sold him to | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Arsenal and England midfielder Jack Wilshere has moved | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
And Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko has joined Spurs. | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
British number one Johanna Konta is through to the third round | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
of the US Open but only after this happened. | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
She collapsed towards the end of the second set when it was really | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
hot on court and had to take a short break. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
But, amazingly, she recovered and was able to get through to | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Hospitals in England will have to start | :04:43. | :04:55. | |
It's after doctors said they won't be coming in to work | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
The strike will mean lots of appointments | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
It's because of an argument between doctors and the Government | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
about how much they get paid and how long they have to work. | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
It's what a mega storm on earth looks like... | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
The International Space Station caught these images | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
of hurricanes making their way across the Pacific | :05:26. | :05:51. | |
Newsround's back right here at 4:20 this afternoon. | :05:52. | :05:55. |
