Real Robotics Discussion / Re: So, why do we all hate Chomp?

I don't know who agrees with the first one?!?! But the reason I hate chomp is because it's a sh**ty, barely functional battlebot. It turns over every time it hits its weapon and has the highest center of gravity I've ever seen in a battlebot. But the reason I hate it the most is because it was put through twice over two robots that clearly beat it. Disco inferno pushed it around and turned it over multiple times but because chomp's useless ****ing weapon hit it twice they got the win. then the same thing happened when bite force lost to it. It's just a sh**ty robot that made it farther than it should have because of whatever reason

Welp, it's not actually one of the reasons why I hate Chomp (I'm not a misogynist), Reddit users said that's one of the reasons why they hate Chomp. Oopsies.

Why I hate Chomp:
1. Like Mortis and Obwalden Overlord, they just think that state-of-the-art technology is just going to breeze them through to win the championship (ex. It has an automatic sensor inside it that fires the axe when a robot is in range of the weapon).
2. PRIMARY WEAPON (aka The Disk O' Inferno lost to Chomp despite dominating because its flywheel stalled).

That's all I can think of right now. What other reasons are there to hate Chomp in your opinion?

I have too and have qualified with an intro...who else has entered Series 3 with their robots?

I may enter

You realize if you qualify for Series 3 in time you're going to get seeded due to OA2's performance last Wars?

I'm not too bothered about seedings but it would be alright.

Alright Boto I'm counting on you to enter soon (Pheasant looks frightening, but all offense and no defense). Anyone else looking forward to entering so that way AHOG and I can keep updated?
