Can't think of a top 10, but my favourite two were Hypnodisc's first bout, against Robogeddon, and also Razer vs Onslaught in that Annihilator, when Razer dismantled Matilda. :D
-
One of the best was when Chaos2 flipped Firestrom OOTA.
-
btw has anyone watched the Tornado vs Dominator 2 match ? the ending is really good, just think of what may have happened in series 6 had tornado gone down that pit
@ Craaig: I was nearly going to add the southern annihilator
-
I remember Gravity flipping Matilda after it had won or something... That was a good fight.
-
I don't believe Matilda was flipped since getting the flywheel Gravity vs Lightning, Gravity took out Shunt and Dead Metal after the match
-
How much would you say that flywheel weighed? The spin would keep Matilda from tipping over if the wheel was going fast enough
-
as far as I know I heard 27 kg (60 lb) with weight distributed to the outside of the disc, Defiantly destructive way better then a 30kg hammer *wink wink* :-D

Razer wouldn't have been robbed of the Series 6 Grand Final (https://gametechmods.com/forums/images/smilies/angry.gif)
-
exactly :-D *sigh* why does Matilda have to be such an incompetent worker lol, there are rumors that the tornado frame lead to the breaking up of team Razer but its exactly that ...rumors not really facts
I personally just don't like pushers (that is really what tornado was) in competition like this, I mean destruction is the aim of the game pushing is just to boring (with one exception ... storm 2 was an awesome rammer, even got steel avenger out of the arena)
Edit: Happy Middleweight H@zm47 :D
-
The anti-pit-frame? That one really ticks me off. I suppose it shouldn't, though, because my CC entry does the exact same thing.:|
Also, Terrorhurtz vs Panic Attack: Seems like an unfair ending.
-
Har, I hated Razor. I thought it was smart of Tornado's team to put the frame around it.
My favorite match from RW was Hypnodisc VS Bigger Brother.

Well, as long as Tornado said they had the frame and got it officially weighed in and such, they could use it. Don't remember WHEN they made it but it was a risk, and it paid off.
Both are great robots, but Tornado has the very customizable design and the team smarts to back it up.
-
the second version of the frame with the flywheel was ok but the first it just seemed so stupid beating a robot by pushing it around
-
Wheely Big Cheese vs. Axe-Awe, but I also like House Robot Rebellions.
-
gravity & behemoth vs Psycho, Growler & Cassius was one of the better ones with technically all house robots got defeated, also the first round melee of the series 7 veterans/all stars tournament with Firestorm, Panic Attack, Cat 3 and Bigger Brother was good.... Shunt was over in the first 5 seconds lol
-
I forgot the commonwealth challenge, firestorm vs. panic attack, firestorm toppled mr. pyscho.
-

-
Seriously, guys!?
HAVE NONE OF YOU WATCH HYPNO-DISC VS. STEALTH!?
-
I have.
:3
-
Lolbump.
By the way, Tornado's frame wasn't intended to stop it going down the pit, it was built so that Razer's beak wouldn't reach the actual machine itself. More of an anti-crusher assembly than an anti-pit.
I'm really not that sure about the top ten, but one of the matches in mine would definitely be Hypno-Disc vs. Firestorm III, UK Series 5 Play-Off for third place. Firestorm had gone through more matches than anyone in the series, having to fight its way back from the loser's melee, both machines were pretty beat up, the fight barely lasted a minute, but it was fast and completely mental in that match. Firestorm even had a crack at Sir Killalot at one point.

also the fact the house robots weren't made to take damage really
they had strong weapons but Matilda, Sgt Bash and Shunt all have fiberglass bodywork which isnt going to do much in the defense department
-
The house robots were the gayest thing ever really.
-
I loved the house robots myself but having them involved in matches was ok in one way but it wasn't a fair playing field...
the pit would always react the same, the flame pits would, the saws would but the house robots did what they liked
great entertainment value at the conclusion for matches but a little unfair as a arena hazard...
-
but a little unfair as a arena hazard...
That's why i hate them.
RW was more about show and entertainment than real fighting with over 9000 flames and lights and etc.

it was an entertainment program... Battlebots was more of a sporting event (boxing like intros, drag racing countdown lights, sports style commentary, etc)
-
From a competitor stand point house robot were not good. They had the potental to tear apart the competitors. I know it's a given that your bot could get destroyed but to know if you lose your bot gets completly destroyed and or fried. (kiss your speed controllers good bye) Or to know that your fight could be meddled with and the outcome affected.
Just some things to look at:
How many times were matches outcomes affected by House Robots?
How many times did RefBot get in the way?
Also take a look at battlebots.
How many times did the sledge hammers kill a bot
Killsaws disable a bot
Hell raisers affect a fight(Nightmare vs SOW comes to mind)
In my mind the best fights occur in empty boxs. Hazards and house robots were there to make it interesting for TV to keep viewers because Wedge vs Wedge gets boring after about the first minute.
