What about Forza 3? Is that not a driving sim?

a) For starters, actual effective weaponry. What were TAN's weapons then? Pretend weapons? And you can't deny TAN's weapons were effective, even if you disagree with its battle philosophy
We've seen previously what those two are capable of, and right at the start, DI looked good in the First Round Melee, the way it tore into BOD. I think if it had gotten through, I reckon it could at least have gotten to the Heat Finals. We've also seen previously how unreliable DI is. I reckon it could have at least lasted another few minutes before breaking down.
And in my eyes, Gravity would've been a far better Dutch Representative in the Third World Championship, being what could be considered the first of Europe's generation of monster flippers. You answer my question asking how it would be better by saying it would be better. Explain, don't repeat. Anyway, in my opinion, it would have been a worse representative for the Dutch - it would have found Rawbot as easy as TAN did, but it wouldn't have had a hope in  against Storm 2, unlike TAN who did have a chance. so for the Dutch, TAN was a better representative.
Would've been far more exciting to watch at least Opinion. Some prefer a war of atrittion like against bulldog Breed to a 6-second walkover against Dantomkia
rather than the tongs that ultimately used cheap tactics and the pit to get to its undeserved spots. Again, 'cheap' is your opinion, and whether or not you consider its tactics cheap, you cannot call the victory undeserved - TAN won fair and square. Also, Gravity used the low walls, a feature of the arena as much as the pit, to win its battles. If the fight was in the enclosed, pitless Battlebots arena, TAN would win pretty much every time.
b) Yes, but it utilised tactics that took advantage of Rammstein's battery power, before actually finishing it off using the pit. Do you really think that PA knew of the low battery power? I watched the battle, it just pitted Rammstein as soon as it got under it properly and the pit had opened
On the other hand, Toecutter and Spawn of Scutter were demonstrations of how it utilised driving skills and no pit to win. Panic Attack's main tactic was unquestionably still to pit the opponent
Why do you consider the tactics cheap anyway? Because they don't give the opponent a chance? Because there's little entertainment value? Because the battles typically ended moderately quickly?

I doubt SM will argue over it, you know what he's like - he'll just debate for hours on end.
...and because of this, will cause an argument.
Debates don't always lead to arguments. Anyway, it looks good, and we can all wait until October to see how it fares.

This is gonna be the biggest, best looking, and overall greatest driving simulator ever.
I bet $5 somone will argue this. As for the game, I might get it if I owned an xbox.

Actually, I was more annoyed by what it did with Disc-O-Inferno and Gravity- both times we could've had far better competitors qualifying, but no.
Define better. Surely if TAN beat them, it is better than them, no?
And granted Panic Attack did use similar tactics in several of its battles, by no means was the pit the only way it could defeat opponents- it used other methods as well (IE. Toe Cutter, Spawn of Scutter, Rammstein), rather than simply being a design that's more or less useless without arena hazards.
It pitted Rammstein who would have won if its batteries hadn't died, Toecutter was totally hopeless and could have been beaten by anything, and Spawn of Scutter wouldn't have lost without the arena - if the walls were any other height that move wouldn't have worked.

PA actually only pitted every robot in 3. Even then, he gave the robot a fair match, not just a grab and pit.
If I was a competitor, I wouldn't want to give my opponents a 'fair match' - I'd want to do anything to ensure my own victory. There is no chivalrous obligation in Combat Robotics.

Hahha, I talked to Vert at an RR event last year, and that was even more awkward.
IF WE KNEW YOUR IRL NAME IT WOULD BE EASIER.
Yeah, SM and I kept calling each other SM and GK... Conraa was there too but we didn't realise.
