Controversial Judges' Decisions
« on: May 26, 2012, 06:21:27 AM »
If you've ever been bothered by a Judges' Decision that you thought was controversial, let off some steam and post it on this thread.

You can debate over this topic, but please don't let it get personal.


I'll start things off: Gravedigger vs Steg-O-Saw-Us
Steg did little throughout the match while getting flipped and shoved around by Gravedigger. Either this match was poorly
edited or Steg managed to disable something of Gravedigger that I we weren't aware of.

Prizephita Mach 2 vs Wild Thing. The latter really did little to actually effect the 'Phita which pretty much dominated the match until the end where they were ineffectually pushed.

Maybe this is just me thinking that Prizephita is so awesome that I can take down Thermidor 2 with only one wheel working, but hey, it was a kick in the teeth.

Not really in the decision itself, but I should mention Griffon and Daisy Chopper in Series 3. As much as I liked the look of Daisy Chopper (And having one of the more awesome names in Series 3), how they managed to persuade one of the Judges to change their mind is baffling- Griffon leaving it alone (whilst still mobile) after mostly dominating it to take on the House Robots (and easily surviving, and almost toppling Sergeant Bash again) doesn't really constitute DC winning.

(obligatory storm 2 vs typhoon 2 post)
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Tornado had rammed Razer around the arena multiple times in that battle and caused more damage.

As controversial as that was, the Battlerat guys were total - about it.

Oh, I know. There's been a lot of drivers on Battlebots who can't take losing. Take Mouser's driver, he flipped the - out because
the pulverizer hit Mouser just once after the buzzer. Maybe the producer told them to do it to add drama, if otherwise they need to
grow some -.

And yet Whirligig's driver can take it after about 15 hits from the pulverizer after he tapped out.

GBH 2 vs The Alien vs ICU vs Sir Chromalot
GBH 2 deserved to go through definitely. ICU was clearly out but Sir CHromalot really didn't do as much as either GB H 2 or The Alien.
Better than GK since 2009.

I think Robot Wars decisions are more controversial (and butthurt, for that matter) because they can be done intentionally simply to create drama.

All about Razer, the announcer and pretty much everyone else was biased, i was watching a match where Razer was about to be beaten, he was getting grilled on the flame thing, and then Shunt came and nudged him off. he later won that match. (i think) the main guy that made Razor is annoying too.

I don't really have anything against Razer, the things i said up there just get to me some times.
