It's a crusher therefore it must be Razer. Robot Wars fan logic

I was being serious. How many wedge-y gray angular sharp beak-like bird looking crushers can you name, friend?

Razzler
Tiberius 2
Tiberius 3
Kronos
Philliper
Metalis
TX-108
Ming 3
Pincer

TX109/Apex
Little Nipper
Boneyard
Venom
Cobalt
Mantis
Nyx (with crusher attatchment)
Kraken
Plunderbird 4
Plunderbird 5
Tiberius 4
Chomp
Spartacus
Preda Raptor
Bite Force

And that's what I know of... There's plenty plenty more not yet named.

Saying all vertical crushers are Razer is like saying all rear hinged flippers are chaos 2, all vertical spinners are nightmare, all horizontal crushers are Kan Opener, All horizontal discs are Hypnodisc, are Full Body Spinners are Blendo, all drum robots are El Diablo, All robots with 6 wheels are Sewer Snake or Storm 2, all rammers are Tornado, all lifters are Panic Attack.

Just.... No. Just because the most popular crusher you can think of from TV existed and has a weapon large enough to stand out from the rest of the body just to get over it's opponent doesn't mean it's Razer, it means it uses the same style weapon. That's it.

I think it's really great that Christian is getting his children involved.

Who knows, maybe they'll be part of the next generation?

pyramid of quotes

I tried to be extremely specific about how Razer looks putting all those adjectives before 'crusher' to try to distinguish every other crusher from razer while still trying to describe the drawing of chomp (a bot that I've never heard of and therefor can only go off of the beautiful drawing rendered in 1080p that was there)

Essentially, I was trying to say "How many other bots look like that drawing?"

Saying "The bot in the drawing (Chomp) looks like that bot in the drawing" doesn't help you at all. I guess instead of wedge-y I should've said 'cone-shaped', because while all or most of those robots have a wedge, very barely any of them are cone-shaped in the way that razer is.

Is this the end of the bashing? Between standing behind my words and knocking heads with respected members, there's a conflict of interest.

Battlebots is doing an ama on reddit, get there now if you want your questions anweted

Thyrus · « **Reply #467 on:** June 18, 2015, 04:54:28 PM »

There is actually a hw in battlebots that's called Wrex?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #468 on:** June 18, 2015, 04:58:32 PM »

It's spelled Wrecks, but yeah

also the Plan X FB page posted a picture of their concept design. It's a spinner, not a clamper as originally thought. Looks pretty cool though.

Thyrus · « **Reply #469 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:03:20 PM »

That was actually in one of the promo videos, I remember it.

Carrollton School. They're the all-girls' team that was mentioned in that ABC interview a month or so ago. They've been making robots for a few years now so I figured it would be them.

Unfortunately, Beta was unable to get working once again for this tournament. Really sucks.

cephalopod · « **Reply #477 on:** June 18, 2015, 05:40:51 PM »

Yeah. From what I've heard, there was a speed controller problem or some such. Really really sucks.

qwertythe300th · « **Reply #478 on:** June 18, 2015, 10:45:59 PM »

So does the Beta issue mean Swamp Thing is in?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #479 on:** June 18, 2015, 10:50:00 PM »

No, Counter Revolution replaced Beta. Beta was originally slated to fight Tombstone.

Also, Complete Control also has a flamethrower.
