Alright, so in one of the discords I use, we were playing a game, and i figured it could work here also. So here goes:
Somebody asks a question that has a robot (we did it with robot wars robots, but RA2/Battlebots works too) as the answer. For example, "This robot was immobilised by a opponent before the match actually started" could be the question, and the answer would be Flippa, after not making it to the arena when Ewe 2's driver tried to brush aside it's aerial just before the match started and the aerial came off. Whoever got the answer would then say their own question, and everyone would guess the answer.
Note that if you want to branch out from just "this robot did X, what is it" questions, I don't mind, but PM me first so we can see if it will work.
I'll start with the first question: This robot is the only robot in Robot Wars that was given a free pass into the world championships without winning a battle prior.
-
mastiff
-
TR2
-
Chain of impending DOOM
-
Razer weren't it?
-
Flensburger Power (shouldn't have qualified because it didn't win the German Melee) or Rawbot (Zeus pulled out of its qualifier).
-
razzor
-
john the emergency
-
Killerhurtz?
-
Cerberus
Cerberus was scheduled to fight Mauler, but Mauler was barred from competing due to safety concerns.
Unless those fights weren't called qualifying matches.
-
This robot made a full body spinner's shell fall off, and, it fought on tv, in battle bots.

I'm not very proficient in battlebots, idk, ziggo?

Double Agent, of course.

Note that you are only allowed to ask a question if you correctly answered the previous question.
Now. Mastiff, Rawbot and Flensburger Power are all legitimate answers. I was thinking of Rawbot, because it's qualifier with Zeus was cancelled, and it lost in the European championship. Flensburger Power and Mastiff are both correct, but I hadn't thought of those.
Razer is technically incorrect, because it beat Backstabber, Techno-Lease, Prometheus (by Default, if I remember correctly) and Diotoir. Then again, all those fights happened in the same series, so u'll just give the answer the benefit of the doubt.
Killerhurtz is technically incorrect, because it got through the trial and gauntlet. But that's highly pedantic (and not a fight persay) so I'll give it a pass.
If I had specified Qualifier, the question would have been too easy, but it did **** up the formatting allowing for multiple answers.
As Kurt said two of the correct answers simultaneously, he had more correct answers than Jamie. However, Jamie got a correct answer before Kurt did. Gulden also gave a pretty much correct answer, as the matchups for the First World Championships were most likely decided before Razer beat anyone.
EDIT: F1Krazy also got one right. Bollocks. He's also in the Tiebreaker.
As they both all have claims to the next question, here is a tiebreaker. The first person out of the two to get it right (and include the next question they would like to ask in their answer) wins.
The question is: Which is the only team that applied to Series 8 of Robot Wars to be rejected without receiving a call informing them of their unsuccessful application?
Oh, and thanks for all the meme answers guys. 10/10. (TR2? Seriously?)
TL;DR: Gulden, Jamie, Kurt and F1Krazy all had legit answers, because i'm sh** at making precise questions. Great start to the thread, I know. All 3 of you have a tiebreaker: "Which is the only team that applied to Series 8 of Robot Wars to be rejected without receiving a call informing them of their unsuccessful application?"
-
definitely TR2
-
killer queen
-
VT wasn't it? The one that was in the intro but never fought?

mouse

Are you sure he doesn't mean the team that made the mouse bots? like meggamouse? I mean, he's DQed (being not one of the four who can answer and get anything), but still...

mouse

Nope. That team, Team Outlaw (Previously called Team Velocirippa and Team Mouse), entered Ironside 3 into Series 8, and in Series 9 gave that robot to Team Tilly, which competed under the name Team Mouse. Also the team that is the answer never received any word, where as everyone else (according to the wiki, at least) did.
Also he's probably referring to Mouse, the Robogames 2017 entrant built by The Schmidt Family, which includes Asbestosstar.
Also the only 4 people allowed to answer the question are F1Krazy, Kurt, Guldenflame and Jamied666.

Oh hey I actually know this one, it was Diotoir.
So now I get to ask a question, let's see... This robot is one of three, along with Killerhurtz and Storm II, that was given a seeding despite having never won a battle in the main tournament before.
-
is it echoes act 3

razer

Chaos in Season 2.

Nope. Beat Backstabber in Series 3.
mousetrap? if no then sting 3
Wasn't Mousetrap or S3 (assuming that's what you mean by "Sting 3")
Chaos in Season 2.
Technically, but the team had won two battles the previous year with Robot the Bruce. By that logic you could also include Cassius, Steg 2, Bigger Brother, Wheely Big Cheese, and so on.

I'm certain it's Stinger. Seem to remember them being seeded in S4 despite losing in R1 of S3

I don't know how much I'm allowed to look up (I used the wiki to get a list of the seeds), but was it diotoir in S4?
My memory isn't the greatest as to whether or not it won anything in S1/2/3. :P

Diotoir reached the heat final in Series 3.

Stinger after losing to Mace in its only battle in Series 3, then coming in as the 31st seed in Series 4.

That's the one! TheRoboteer got there first so he gets to pick the next question, sorry Kurt!

Right O, next question. This bot was the only robot to perform an OOTA on another machine and never reach further than the second round in it's entire career.

Pretty sure that was General Carnage 2!
I'll come up with a question tomorrow when it isn't 2am.
