Excellent- thanks mate. I'll go do my votes promptly- hopefully we'll see Mortis and Explosion in there

Voting is closed, the results will likely follow later today 6 hours. Mark commented that he was getting a lot more ballots from the UK than hte US. I don't know if the US ever caught up, but based on that information, here are my predictions:

New inductees:
Professor Chaos
Maelstrom
Big Nipper
Warrior SKF

Honourable Mention:
Explosion
Thor/Metanoria
Ripper
Anticide
Gyrobot
Upheaval

I think Ziggy will do well on this one aswell, personally. Something must be wrong if it doesn't.
Well, i'm hoping it does well.

Damn it, I was just about to vote. Although judging by what I've seen, I think Mortis and Professor Chaos seem like quite likely options for the Induction.

I'd be willing to bet Mortis will not be upgraded.

Honorable Mention 2011:

Anticide - The dominant UK antweight, Andrew Hibberd's tiny flipper claims to be the most successful ant of all time. The chassis was made on a 3-D 'printer'. Successes include three consecutive Antweight Fighting Robot World Series wins.
Gyrobot - This odd antweight has no wheels, legs, or treads. It moves by inducing a gyroscopic reaction in its vertical spinning blade to tilt the robot from side to side and rotate by precession! Builders love strange designs.
Kronic - A full-pressure heavyweight flipper from the UK with a long record of success: 2005 Roaming Robots champion, 2006 International Challenge winner, 2010 Team Bud Challenge champion, and Fighting Robots Annihilator champion for 2010 and 2011.
Warrior SKF - Another oddball design beloved by builders. This Team Whyachi heavyweight flipper is powered by energy stored in a horizontal spinning ring. It's an intersting alternative to pneumatic flipper power, but hard on the flipper clutch!

Quote

The Master - Inducted 2011: The original 'thwackbot', The Master was a pioneer in interchangeable weaponry and the 'all in the wheels' drive train. Weapon modules included a grinding wheel, a lifter, and a long chain 'whip'. Mark Setrakian was co-winner of the 1995 Robot Wars heavyweight title with this creation, and it continued to compete for many years. Record: 8 wins, 4 losses.

Quote

Professor Chaos - Inducted 2011: The middleweight terror from WPI Combat Robotics has ruled the middleweight class in the U.S. since its first tournament in 2008 and has pummeled the top robots in the division. Record: 14 wins / 2 losses.

Ok, the master getting in surprised me. And the complete lack of bots like Ziggy and Hotstuff is sad.

I'm going on the slim chance he's still writing Ziggy's and Explosion's testimonials.

Conraa, where did you read those? I looked all over and could find any Hall of Fame news.

I'm not seeing it, neither page mentions being updated as of 2011

Conraaa · « **Reply #55 on:** August 12, 2011, 10:40:10 AM »

Refresh the page?

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #56 on:** August 12, 2011, 10:46:11 AM »

There we go, that's done it.

@Vert, my commiserations for not making it. If it means anything, I put my money on you being an honourable mention

G.K. · « **Reply #57 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:49:11 PM »

W00t I voted for The Master.

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #58 on:** August 12, 2011, 05:54:26 PM »

No UK robots inducted?

Conraaa · « **Reply #59 on:** August 12, 2011, 06:04:45 PM »

Anticide and Kronic got honourable mentions, but apart from that...
