Title: Favourite Robots
Post by: Metal Virus on June 07, 2006, 02:23:24 PM
I'm sure everybody out there has a favorite real robot, and I didn't see this thread already made, so why not, right?

Anyway, I have a fairly unknown favorite robot.  It was in robotica season 2 and it taught me to love drums.  It's name is Ill Tempered Mutt.  I can only find one picture of it:

(http://www.npcrobotics.com/images/events/robotica2/7.jpg)

The front V wedge came of during the "Fight to the death" in the last round of each robotica show.  Under it was a drum with pointy teeth.  I can still remember seeing is dig into the competitor and tear off almost a complete side panel in a single hit.

If anybody has any other pictures of it, that would please me oh so much.  Anyway, now, how about the rest of you share your favorite robot.

I remember that bot.  I was disappointed that it didn't make it to another fight to the finish so I could see the drum again.  That was back in the day when about the only other drum bot was El Diablo which, although it looks really cool, isn't all that powerful.

My favorite bot would have to be The Judge.  There are plenty of fearsome spinners out there that make you put extra armor on the front of your bot, but how many hammer bots are fearsome enough to make you put on an extra 1" lexan plate to protect your top?  And then The Judge just punches right through it :mrgreen:  I wonder if it will compete again after that thrashing by Super Megabyte.

I'm pretty sure everyone knows what The Judge looks like, but just in case anyone doesn't:

No sense in me creating an identical new topic, so, I'll bump this one. My favorite bot is Diesector. You all should know what it looks like, unless you if waaaay outside the USA or under a rock.

That Diesector looks at my eyes like a technic lego robot or something.  :D  Maybe the yellow color makes it to look like that.

I like minion for his looks, and i like ziggo, because i saw him perform againsts a robot with a flipper on BattleBots, i just love the way he tosses ppl around.

By far i just LOVE Drillzilla, ive even made a replicka of him in DSL.

Title: Re: Favourite Robots
Post by: Chaser on October 22, 2006, 11:38:16 PM
Hazard is an all time favorite that comes to mind. Not too many bots remain in one piece after a hazard match, just see what happened to Complete Control LOL. Hazard had never even lost a fight that is until T Minus came along and flipped it. A massive spinning blade with high yield destruction is great to watch. For the same reason I also like Ziggo for it's destructive abilities, now that's a spinner. :!:
Title: Re: Favourite Robots
Post by: z1271beta on October 22, 2006, 11:55:52 PM
the match with HAZARD and T-MINUS was awsome. i think T-minus one by flipping hazard's skirts up and then the skirts were hit by the spinning blade, causing him to like wobble and fly in random directions. i think that was hazard's only lose.

the best was when he DESTROYED blade runner.

Does anyone know if Battlebots sells any of their season matches on DVD. Ever since Battlebots got cancelled off Comedy Central I can't find DVDs featuring the matches. It makes no sense if they would open up the market and sell the seasons they could make a lot of money. My wife even said she would get me some robot canage DVDs for Christmas, problem is we can't find anything being sold by Battlebots. The matches referred to in all thes posts are great, now if only someone would sell them all on tape.

It can be very expensive but their are ways to raise money at least when your out of school and working that is. The best suggestion that I can think of is to either try some investing or saving it in a high interest yielding CD if you don't have a high risk tolerance. Keep two things in mind when it comes to raising money
1) You either have to cut expenses at home
2) Or increase the amount of money you can make through a higher paying job. Those who go to college and graduate will make a whole lot more money than those who don't.
     It also helps to think about the type of bot you want to build, a person is going to pay a whole lot more for the materials to build a super heavy weight than for a lightweight. Either way it's not cheap and if your bot gets destroyed (Hazard Style) you have to spend even more money to replace that motor the Judge just punched a hole in.  :twisted: I'll stick to watching matches for this reason.

So that's how the quote system works, I'm terrible with computers. Anyone ever seen some of the great matches by Ziggo, I think the best matches involve spinners or bots with blade weapons like Hazard. Whats the point of watching wedge bots try to ram each other or flip one another. It's the destruction that's fun to watch.

I have made a few "bots" if you can call them that.  One time because I just grab cheap parts and what I had from when I was 5.  Tyco battle bots are great for the school yard wars.  I made a shell spinner using one of my old tyco rc and putting a racing motor on top of it with a shell attached.  It was very dangrous because the shell was control by a switch on the bot.  If you wanna get some friends togather and make some cheep bots that not need much work just do that and if you want you can toss togather some kinda arena.

My favorite is La Machine.  Built in 1995, it was the first ever driving wedge that kick-started the flipper movement.  It was incredibly fast, it would slam its opponents against the wall with terrifying force.  It easily scooped up the 1995 Middleweight title, and nearly won the heavyweigt division in '96 and '97, finishing second to Biohazard both times.  The guys behind La Machine were also the ones who brought Robot Wars to England, so I like them even more for that.

I was a big time Battlebots fan during the Comedy Central years that is was on TV.

I loved Overkill because it was simply a gorgeous looking robot. Shiny with a big blade... even if it wasn't terribly destructive.

Son of Wyatchi was innovative. I think I watched it battle 4 or 5 times before I actually paid attention to the fact it was a walker. (a destructive one too)

Biohazards flipper mechanics impressed the heck out of me.

Those were some of my favs <3 <3 <3

Anticide
Missed a few, but don't want to make the list too long.

FYI, Half of those are already in the Hall of Fame. 

Also, Word of advice, the Joergers don't really like to talk about Robot Wars.  I'm hoping to shed my label of "Robot Wars fanboy" by composing a ballot of modern and recent robots.

One bot I also like is Suicidal Tendencies, even though it livec up to its name..twice. Firestorm wasn't that bad either, neither was Bigger Brother. Also there's this one bot I would've liked to see qualify for the seventh wars but failed but I can't remember its name =P

Oh and I think Disc-O-Inferno was awsome too.

EDIT: Sabre Tooth, that's the bot I meant that failed to qualify.

Everything beat steel avenger, it was one of the worst robots ever in RW.
It was too weak to be competitive and to boring to be a joke bot.

Sure it wasn't the greatest, but I did at the very least think it was decent enough. Until it got flipped in most of its bouts, I don't really remember it breaking down.

It's weaponry was pathetic.
I know axe bots are usually not that goo, but you still had decent ones like dominator 2 for example.
I can't recall a single match where steel avenger pierced a proper opponents armour.

in series 5, If Chaos 2 would have faced SMIDSY first, and lost to it by stucking into wall. Then SMIDSY would faced Then Steel avenger because 8645T would have been cake walk for it. And in the Heat Final, Steel Avenger would beaten SMIDSY Easily and continue to the Semifinals

No, the turning over against the wall incident was an accident. Even if Chaos 2 had fought SMIDSY first, it still would have won, and then eventually won against old Steely, thus making no real difference. It would still beat the same three to get to the Semis.

I know it beat Chaos 2 before fair and square in the First World Championships. I'll give them props for that, but it's the way they continued attacking Chaos 2 even though it was obviously dead in the second bout that infuriated me.

yes we have discussed this  :rolleyes: there was an agreement to not attack anymore then what was required to KO the other robot (so no more damage after the other lost) Pussycat team didn't follow through on what they apparently agreed to.. that's why he was mad.
 
you can clearly see in the grudge match he was fine with being beaten.. also I will point out the fact RW puffed it up way more then it was for the sake of a grudge match...

Chaos 2 team should have made an agreement with Razer to not attack after KO then.. it was still little damage compaired to Mr. Psycho

flipper was fine on power

it had mechanical gremlins with the C02 freezing in the pipes when inverted, that is why it couldn't self right in both losses in the main series (Bigger Brother and DanTomKia)

Oh, I always wondered why it couldn't self right itself properly later on in RW.
Actually, didn't they increase the power a bit, from series 5/6 onwards I swear it was more powerfull.
Title: Re: Favourite Robots
Post by: GoldenFox93 on November 06, 2010, 07:46:24 AM
Hm, I always thought it was due to more power being exerted through the bigger pnuematic rams added in Series 5.
Title: Re: Favourite Robots
Post by: JoeBlo on November 06, 2010, 07:49:32 AM
they added a bigger supply and rams for the heavier weight class

though its possible lack of gas left contributed to its loss in Series 5, it was mechanical in Series 6

dont let JP fool you it wasnt because of the wall, the robot normally flips right over in nearly its own space, it was only lifting itself half up.
Title: Re: Favourite Robots
Post by: Scorpion on November 06, 2010, 07:52:36 AM

This is why a low pressure flipper is better. Chaos killed itself as soon as they focused more on the power of the flipper rather than the bot as a whole. They could have added a small C02 bottle with the 18 kilos they had spare.

Sure it might've been an interesting idea, but it was just pulled off in possibly the most bland fashion possible. I'd have had a bit more respect for it if it could actually cause damage and gave robots chances to escape and fight, like Razer and Kan Opener did.

Give the other bot a chance to escape. That's the last thing you want to do. You go full on untill the other bot breaks or taps out. Never let the other bot escape and give them a chance if you do that you risk losing the fight.

About TAN:

I can't believe it took that long for someone to make something like it. It seems obvious that if there is a pit that can instantly end a fight that it should be used. It also shocked me that there weren't more wedgebots and pushers in Robot Wars

At that point, yeah, I kinda do.
It stood no chance by this point, it'd have just faded away and looked more and more tired if RW had carried on.

Yes...I mean, sure Chaos 2 was getting old, but they could at least have given it a somewhat dignified end to its career, instead of trying to smash it down until nothing remained. They wouldn't have done that to say, Tornado.

It used a smoke screen and a special camera attached to the robot to try and fight Beauty 2 whilst it was blinded, but it was disqualified for it afterwards.
They didn't just cheat by using a smoke bomb, it was 15KG!
And that, too. Thus, if they ever did fight, I bet Explosion would give it a kicking.

And the fact that you don't need smoke screens, an extra three kilograms in spite of having no external armour, the...you know whats*, and a design that makes the robot look like a mechanical puppy only adds to the reasons why Explosion could beat it   :beer:

Now eventually im gonna end up running out of ideas for the weekly poll. If you hve an idea for the next poll, then PM me! If I like it I may use it. HOWEVER... It MUST relate to Robotic Combat. If you sent me PMs like"Who is youre least fav person on GTM" Then you will get STRIKE ONE. If you get three strikes then I wont even CONSIDER youre idea, even if I like it. I hope you guys have some good ideas. ALSO... If yours gets chosen to be the next poll, I will credit you in the poll(Example,Your favotite BB! Idea by GF93)

The Series 6 final was NOT the first time that Team Razer fought Tornado with the anti-crusher frame.  They had a battle in Extreme Warriors 2 and fought without any modifications to the crusher.  It was their own fault for not being better prepared the second time around.

Oh god, not this again...

I have no problem with Tornado having the anti-crusher frame to protect against Razer's weapon. I think that was perfectly legal. What I do find unfair was that it made the machine too big to go down the pit. Under any other circumstance, Razer would have won that match. In my view, Tornado was in the pit, but there's no point complaining about it now, it was more than eight years ago. Nonetheless, Tornado was an excellent machine, and as far as I can remember only broke down once.

One machine I liked that I don't think gets enough credit is Onslaught. I think it was pretty well designed, and even with car steering it managed to do pretty well.

The reason why the judges gave the match to Tornado was because team Razor let them, their motors burned out and Razor was essentially dead but for some reason was not counted out, team Razor gave knowingly gave the win to Tornado.
No controversy, just good sportsmanship.

We've been through this before...

It's perfectly legal and common for robots to change their armor configuration depending on their opponent.   Sewer Snake, Bounty Hunter Shish-Kabot, and Shovel Head all have alternate armor configurations and no one says anything about them. Why is that?

Thank GOD for ty4er. At least somebody hates tornado. And you know what Sonny. BioHazzard SUCKS! Sure he won 5 times. But he got beat by frickin Vlad the Impaler. VLAD. Now thats EMBARRASSING. Razer has won 1 time and then one 2  thats right 2 world championships. BioHazzard has nevver done that. He was to scared to come to the world championships. While Razer was out there kicking ASS, BioHazzard was hiding behind his pathetic little arm thinking," I got my butt kicked by Vlad". And you know what, You can lower my rep Sonny and you can write biography about me on RA2 wikipedia for all I care. And Im not 5 bitch im 12 Trollface. I declare WAR Sonny. WAR!

I think the main problem with that particular system was that the CO2 kept freezing in the pipes, preventing it from working properly half the time. Nevertheless, when the full-pressure flipper did work, it was a joy to behold- just look at its Heat in Series 5, and you'll see why.

Suppose you do have a point about Extreme. But then again, Chaos 2's losses there were mainly down to bad luck and House Robot intervention, namely Refbot knocking Tornado off the wall in the All-Star Tournament, and Matilda knocking Chaos 2 against the wall in the Flipper Frenzy.

And besides Chaos2 was never my favorite flipper. I alwayes liked Bigger Brother. Not only is the bot a good bot(almost defated Razer in the Series 5 Final) But the fact that the team is partly driven by kids is pretty cool.

Yes- Kim Davis was definitely one of the best drivers in the series. Although on the contrary, George's driving skills were also very good- that was a winning combination with a great little robot that was still a real contender several years after its first major appearance.

Stop being dumb sparky, when Battle bots began Robot Wars was already on their third season.

And Robot Wars had been going for five years in the US when the first UK episode was aired.
 
Roadblock - Very effective and - crucially - reliable early design. Did very well, but was a little bit too simplistic.
Panic Attack - An excellent robot with a very good driver. I liked the subsequent versions better than the champion, though.
Chaos 2 - Fantastic when it was champion, but as the series wore on, it got stuck behind.
Razer - Truly magnificent piece of design. Aesthetic, destructive, and almost impossible to beat. Got my vote.
Tornado - Good, sturdy machine that managed to beat many of the established legends. But a touch too simplistic again.
Typhoon 2 - Was extremely lucky to win the Seventh Wars. It could have been eliminated in the first round.

Roadblock: Was a good bot in its era, though if the wedge were a flipper it wouldve been unstoppable
Panic Attack: Nice looking bot( I love the paint job) And has in my opinion, The best driver.
Chaos2: A great flipper and deserves to be the No1 Robot Wars robot.
Razer: My favorite, I have posted many times why I like him so im not going to post anything here
Tornado: Although I dont like it it is pretty in destructeble
Typhoon2: Didnt really watch Series 7 much

chaos 2 got quite out dated towards the end so i would go for tornado, a perfect example of the balace between good design, good building and good driving. i always liked razer but i feel it was a bit unnessicary when it would be up against some block of wood, wheelchair motors and hope built by a teenager in a shed, and then proceed to trash it.
one thing about razer, it seemed to fight mostly the ordinary robots, nothing realy destructive like for example hypno disc, yeah it forght a few but not with masive efective spinny things. i recon a good horizontal spinner would waste razer as there are a lot of fancy angles and edges for something to catch hold of. antother fight razer would definatly lose would be against razer.
discuss.

Series 3 Firestorm pwns them all (I think I said this about ten times in this thread already)
Second is Spawn Again cause I loved it`s design and paintwork.
Scutters Revenge cause it`s one of the robots that come in mind when I hear robot wars (With Axios, RatusRatus, FlipFlopFly and others)
Plunderbird 5 is great as well. love it`s bodyshape and it`s color.

best champion... don`t know. I gave it to Roadblock cause RW1 was so fresh and great and RB had the best design to win this

I'd prefer Battlebots over Robot Wars for 2 reasons.
1. Robot Wars is so cheesy when it came to the interviews with stuff like the sayings the teams do (especially the kids no offence).
2. Battlebots made robot combat look serious with the destruction and design.
And this is coming from the place in the UK where robot combat only made a slight touch since only about one robot was bulit here.
HOWEVER
Robot Wars had 2 things that Battlebots did not do.
1. Robot Wars aired all fights which battlebots did not do because I would of loved to see Heavy Metal Noise Vs Ankle Biter
and Tazbot Vs Slam Job
2. Robot Wars had an out of the arena zone while battlebots did not.

What turned me off to Battlebots was that there was WAY too much padding.  They had overly long unnecessary segments like "Things you can do with your giant nut trophies."  As a result they only had time for 3 battles per show.  I also hated the commentators, they came across as clueless morons, as did Bill Nye with his useless factoids "T-Minus is using its flipping arm to self-right.  Let's see if it can do it."  The program was very unkind to newcomers - seeded robots would get byes into the top 32.

One I also quite liked was Killerhurtz- although it wasn't so good in Robot Wars, it was actually a great contender in Battlebots, putting holes in many an American machine en-route to taking second at Long Beach 1999, as well as the "Best Driver" award  :3

Diesector, full stop. Hell, anything built by Donald Hudson is amazing.


From Robot Wars, my undisputed favorite is Terrorhurtz. A huge breath of fresh air for the series, especially for an overhead axe, and an improvement on one of the most iconic combat robots, Killerhurtz.


A more obscure but awesome example is Cuad the Crusher. That was truly an original design, and their fight against Techno Destructo in series 5 of Battlebots was a fun watch.

Yes it could, actually. You watch it in the Northern Annihilator and its battles against Biohazard and Little Sister in Battlebots. The only reason it didn't when fighting Chaos 2 was because the chain driving its axe broke.

Indeed- as much as I hate to admit it, it was a clever manouver by Pussycat- almost like something you'd see in a bullfight, except with a Polycarbonate Bull armed with a Flip-up Paddle and Pit-escaping Spike.
 
But destruction? I'm not certain. From what I saw, the original round blade wasn't too powerful (notice how it barely grazed Hammerhead in the fight prior), whilst Cassius II, until it drove into the pit, was doing well against Pussycat, immediately slamming into it and knocking it around with the pneumatic spike.

Well yes, but how much damage was that spike doing?
It was just pushing it around, no dents or anything from what i see.
And it was because the blade was spinning the wrong way, had it been spinning the other way it would've done more damage.
However i will agree it wouldn't have done much damage either way.
I just found it quite funny with all the boasting about being able to escape the pit and then falling straight in there and not being able to get out :P

I think it was mainly due to falling in at an angle, thereby wedging it so that its back wasn't touching the bottom of the pit. That's why it didn't work  :/

Mortis was another favourite of mine during the series- with its lifter and tanto blade (which could strike with the force of a .38 Magnum fired at point-blank range, three times a second at least) weaponry and great staying power, it proved itself to be a strong and resiliant competitor. Even though it only reached the Semis once, it winning the War of Independence in Series 4 definitely proved to be a CMOA for it.

Mortis never had the best luck, did it? I think the main problem was its large ground clearance. It had a vast, gaping chasm underneath that Behemoth, Gravedigger and Steg 2 all exploited. If the gap was smaller, it would have done much better. Having said that, I think the axe/lifter combination did make it one of the most versatile bots in the arena at the time, maybe ever.

It did sort out the problem on Battlebots by having Titanium Skirts installed around the edges, and a lower front plate- presumably added with the extra weight Battlebots allowed.
 
But indeed, with that gaping ground clearance, all it really took to defeat Mortis was a well-armoured Flipper. That's what those three did- turned it over and didn't give it a chance to recover and get the axe into play- that was key in all of those fights.
 
With the lowered clearance though, it also did fairly well in Battlebots, beating Tazbot in the Pay-per-view Tournament, picking up the "Most Aggressive Robot" award, and reaching the last 16 of the last one it fought in, only losing out to Nightmare.

Padding? By that, I meant the unnecessary little segments like "What to do with your Giant Nut Trophies" and stuff like that, or the bits with Bill Nye stating the obvious- "T-Minus is using its lifting arm to flip itself over- let's see if it can do it", leaving time for only three fights per episode.
 
Robot Wars on the other hand pretty much got straight to it, and when it did need padding it was done quite well, with the interviews, showing the mechanical gubbins of the competitors, and the side competitions that took place. And even still, it had time for about 5-7 fights per episode.

Not so much, just more explaining one of the plusses RW had over BB- they're both good competitions, but RW did manage its time a little bit better, I have to say. The in-depth demonstrations of the mechanical aspects of the competitors during the interviews was another plus- it was definitely a factor in making engineering cool to its viewers.

Well, that's what the safety rules with Roaming Robots do to you, mate  :/
 
On the plus side however, with flippers, axes and crushers being the main types of robot over here, it makes driving skill quite essential and a good characteristic of UK robot building, instead of simply being a contest over who can build the biggest weapon and shove it into your opponent first, like with some (but not all) US competitions I see.

And Cassius II? It could indeed beat it, seeing as it can self-right well, and has been proven to be quite resilient, taking direct hits from Shunt, Matilda and Pussycat, and still running.
Just a matter of whether it can get under Biohazard whilst its arm is up and Cassius II is running low to the ground.

Okay here is what I think.
BB: Never really cared for it much. I apperently watched it alot when I was little but I dont remember it.
RW:This is what I voted for. I remember watching this when I was little. I remember it so well. The robots seem more creative than BB. I mean Themidor vs BioHazzard. It is clear who is cooler. Sure BioHazzard is (In my opinion, dont get piised at me) better, but not as creative. I also like the arena more.
Robotica: Never eally cared for the 3 step thing. I just like straight forward combat. Not mazes. Plus the arena sucked.
RFL: Bad arena, and never cared for the bots.
RR: Never seen it, and just recently discovered it.
Killer Robots: I like that Grant hosted it and the bots were nice, but 1. They didnt show all the fights and2. Its a once a year thing.

Sparkey, calm down and stop posting for a while. He's just stating his opinion, which he is perfectly entitled to do. He never said Biohazard was uncreative, he just said it wasn't AS creative as Thermidor. And, as a matter of fact, I agree with him.
 
Battlebots did have a lot of ridiculous padding, but RW got straight to it with the fights and such. The other parts were simply inside info on the bots, and the House Robots gave an extra added twist. The creativity was much broader as well, you had designs such as Tazbot and Nightmare in the US, but they still looked like robots. Thermidor LOOKED like a lobster, and nobody can hold a candle to Razer in terms of aesthetics. RW vs. Battlebots, Robot Wars wins for me, hands down.

dude. Before Vlad and Bio, most robots were RC cars with cut off saws glued on top.
I was referring to as time went on- they were definitely great and influential designs for their time, but later on, they suffered a little from what I call "The Chaos 2 Problem"- as time went by, competitors advanced, whilst they kept their original designs. This in turn lead to them being outdated in some respects, with new competitors finding ways to take on robots of the classic designs as part of their initial creation.

Okay,Okay. Thank you GF and NFX for sticking up for me, but Sparkey is calming down. I did say that was my opinion. Now personally I like Thermidor more than BioHazzard. BUT I am more familiar with RW than BB. I think BioHazzard is a great bot, but Thermidor is,in my opinion, a cooler design. Biohazzard is also cool because it is a uniqe design.

Besides holding the honours of being the only robot to successfully defend its title in UK Robot Wars and being the first to put an opponent out of the arena, it was a great machine to watch, being fast, nimble, well-driven and with the flipping power to match.
That, and throwing the House Robots around several times was another plus  :D

But that was a funny match.

They were awesome,the destruction was just awesome.Only 2 times they didnt do well.Typhoon Cadet,and Typhoon 2 in Extreme 2,where they entered the annihalator,and went out in first round.Typhoon Cadet,well,you know.Oh,and i think the reason why cadet wasnt doing well was the less experianced air cadets built it.

You're forgetting its record stateside, mate- took Second Place in the BattleBots Long Beach Tournament of 1999 (IIRC), and picked up the Best Driver Award. Here, it drove into the pit because since competing in an arena without a pit, they'd forgotten it was there.

To bring this back, I might give a special mention to Chaos 2- still right up there as one of my all-time favourites, right from when I first started watching it. It does disappoint me to think that everyone lost faith in it because of its later days, but back in its prime, it was in a class of its own.
It was the only RW Champion to successfully defend its title, had the most consecutive wins (at 19, IIRC), and was the original pioneer of OOTAs and gas-powered flippers on the whole, being one of the very first ones designed not to lift, but to throw.

Even to this day, I definitely consider it to be one of the legends of RW and robot combat in general, no matter how many fancy titles Razer was set up to win in comparison. Simply awesome.

DOI however, was a VERY unreliable machine. It broke down in pretty much every battle it lost. Yes, it won an annihilator as well, but to be honest, Panic Attack and Steel Avenger were the only good bots in it, and PA got damaged and couldn't continue, and SE was just unlucky.

Why yes- nothing wrong with using the Pit at the right time, but having to rely on it to win (Like Cheap as Chips does) is just cheap. As for the part on flipping and OOTAing, that actually takes more skill, and is actually exciting to watch and pull off.

I mean, seriously.

It wasn't a judging failure, it was obvious that they wanted Dr. Inferno to win the championship because it was a crowd favorite. That being said it was still a pretty cool bot, all of Jason Bardis's creations have been pretty cool and full of charm, while still being effective.

lol theyre just about the same formula tho

>[flipper] bot X vs [dummy] bot Y
>bot X drives bot Y onto its front
>bot X fires its flipper and ends it there

>[tan] bot Z vs bot Y
>bot Z drives bot Y into its front pincers
>bot Z has to drive it into the pit WITHOUT bot Y escaping and bot X EDIT: *Z has to open its pincers at an exact point where it can drop bot Y in without falling in itself

also on a completely unrelated note its not like tan is foolproof, it has its flaws/counterbalances
>it can only grasp one bot at a time, meaning its at a disadvantage in rumbles
>it has to be able to grasp the bot's sides
>practically worthless against spikeball-ing spinners and fast rammers

On the subject of TAN, though it's continuous pit tactic would annoy fans, it had a job to do. It was designed to win and get a quick victory. It's not how you win, it's the fact that you do win that counts.

No. I fail to see how what is essentially a giant pair of tongs on wheels can even compare.
A reliable, fast, invertible, NOT UNDERWEIGHT, endurance, and better armored pair of tongs can most certainly compare. It's just more up to date than Chaos 2 and doesn't lose its effectiveness half way through a fight due to extremely limited C02 supply.
Also, I suspect that TAN could easy have steered bots into walls, hazards and more. In many ways, if your dissing TAN, your dissing Mantis as well, which is a very similar bot in terms of operation.

Thing is though, it didn't. Cheap as Chips' strategy was always the same- grab, pit, rob fight of any potential for entertainment.
 
I do like Mantis though, mainly due to the clever engineering behind it that allowed it to both lift and hold onto opponents, allowing it to carry them around ala Complete Control. That was actually somewhat entertaining to watch, and it actually did things other than being entirely dependent on the Pit to do anything.

Then blame who was driving for not quite fitting your entertainment schedule rather than winning (and let's not forget, there was a cash prize for the 7th wars), not the bot..
Also, I find TaN entertaining. Sorry if it doesn't for you but I enjoyed watching bots get pitted in such an effective fashion. It may have been predictable, but hey, sometimes predictable is fun.

Also, in a similar way, I agree with Mr. As on OOTA'ing. It was used to a ridiculous extent in the 7th wars and I was thankful that there was a heat where the generic flipper didn't win (unlike with Thermidor, Atomic, M2, Firestorm, The Grim Reaper, Raging Nightmare, St. Aggro, Gravity, Dantomkia, Bulldog Breed, and Mute. ...You see my point? Only 5 of the 16 semi final bots weren't flippers:P).

Flippers were so dull in the last couple series of RW. As madman said, the whole flipping OOTA concept was so overused, it went from "Wow" to "Sigh". I'd much rather have seen destruction and parts flying and stuff. Unfortunately for the builders.

1. Matilda post op. That flywheel made her my favourite bot, see above reason.
2. Razer. Well designed, albeit as reliable as a loaf of fresh bread in the rainforest most of the time.
3. Hypnodisc. See first paragraph.
4. Nightmare. See also first paragraph.
5. Warhead.    ^
6. X-terminator, S7.  ^

Hmm... Hard choice. I'd probably go for Cassius, Wheely Big Cheese, Killertron, Storm II, Cunning Plan, Stinger or Shunt.

1. Biohazard ( Yeah, my favorite bot, biohazard is always cool, and when i was young, i asked my mom to tell me a biohazard bedtime story. )

This reminds me of when I would come up with fake battlebots episodes with my own bot designs back when I was like 5. I should make some of those bots in RA2.

Probably Razer. The thing's a functional work of art.

Disc-O-Inferno also comes to mind.

Bigger Brother was my favourite flipper; seeing it in person was pretty damn cool.
