Once again it's time to vote on robots to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. You only have 2 weeks before it closes, so be proactive. Here are the ones I'm voting for:

Weta, God of Ugly Things: The basis for a beetleweight drumbot kit, which spawned many great competitiors, including 3-time Bot Blast champion Mondo Bizarro
Triggo: Inspired by Ziggo, a rising star with a super-reliable shell spinner. I firsthand saw it take a flawless victory at the last Motorama.
Upheaval: 5 championships in the Sportsman class
Anticide: Hugely powerful flipper in the UK antweight division.
Storm II: Looked nearly invincible in Robot Wars, even dominating Tornado twice.

I'll add more to my ballot if anyone can make a good case for any other bot

I don't know if there are many gyro-walkers around, but if there isn't then I think Wrecks should get an Honourable Mention.

The bot it was based on, Gyrobot, already is an Honorable Mention.

A few of my suggestions:
Algos
Grande Tambor
Touro
Witch Doctor
Tetanus(Team Brain Damage)
Magneto
Original Sin
Touro Maximus

MikeNCR · « **Reply #5 on:** August 01, 2015, 07:47:52 PM »

I'd call Tetanus and Triggo effectively the same bot. Amusingly enough, they're currently ranked 1st and 2nd on SPARC's Botrank mirror.

Natef · « **Reply #6 on:** August 01, 2015, 07:50:16 PM »

I already sent my ballot, but I kind of wished I added MC Pee Pants. It's like the basis for every one pound drum bot (Poco Tambor, The Bomb, etc).

G.K. · « **Reply #7 on:** August 01, 2015, 07:52:23 PM »

Is upheaval not in already O_O

Natef · « **Reply #8 on:** August 01, 2015, 07:52:38 PM »

Another Honorable Mention.

You can; Mark said that his mailbox tracks IP's, so that you could submit a vote saying "I'd like to add ____ to my ballot"

Vote for Gyrobot in that case; it was the antweight that inspired Wrecks' design, and was a lot more successful.

Algos at this point probably deserves honorable mention at least.

Is Dark Pounder on there yet? If not it probably should be.

Other things that need mentioning are Weta, Tetanus/Triggo and Original Sin. I bet Bite Force probably will get voted in by popular demand though.

Honorable mention!

Conraaa · « **Reply #12 on:** August 09, 2015, 08:10:14 AM »

My nominations are:
Ziggy (Arguably the best SHW ever, I'd say it's my favourite robot ever.)
Beauty 2 (This robot has been dominant in the UK FW circuit for years now.)
Original Sin
Upheaval
Tiny Toon (Been around for years, big up da wedge massiv)
Weta, God of Ugly Things (You guys convinced on this one)

Honourable mentions from me go to Beauty 8 and Touro Maximus

Yeah you can say the same about Mastiff and Italy but it doesn't really make it impressive.

But Centurion is the most successful robot to come from the Isle of Wight, that surely means something!

Also sorry MassimoV, Modify and Quote are way too close together.

You good man, but I'd argue Vercingetorix...

How do I send my vote again

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #19 on:** August 14, 2015, 07:02:14 PM »

It's on the Combat Robotics Facebook page, just search "Hall of Fame" and it's the first thing to come up. He doesn't want the link posted anywhere besides the 4 places where he originally posted it.
