Real Robotics Discussion / Re: Combat Robot Hall of Fame

Mission, next year get on of MikeNCR's bots in, I'm sure we have significant influence over the results.

Best I can tell, this forum swings about 8% to 12% of the votes that came in. Influential, but not dominating. "Eruption' and 'Explosion' got major support from the FRA forum; 'Ziggy' has been on the edge of membership for quite a while, and 'Upheaval' got a LOT of votes from NERC. I consider all of these 'bots to be entirely deserving of the recognition they received.

It has become more difficult to follow both US and UK competitions, but if you take the time to watch some videos of the new inductees you'll see why they drew so many votes.

Thanks for your votes and continued support of the Hall.

Very amusing thread - if you're 12 years old and severely socially impaired. May I remind you:

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, adult material, or otherwise in violation of any International or United States Federal law.

I'd say the thread has violated at least half a dozen of those restrictions.

FYI - I have no problem with Wikis as long as they don't steal from me. Ask Sonny to tell you the details about how the Robot Wars Wiki screwed up and how many YEARS it took them to 'make it right'.
