they ended up being allowed in and they won meaning that got free entry into S7, the moving weapon rule was then brought in and they were forced to add the flipper.

Sounds as would the made everything to kick out Storm from RW without seeing that they kick out Stinger with that rule :D

yeah they were anti storm for no sane reason ? I loved that robot the second I saw it.. very entertaining

it was an obvious screw job in the finals too

I mean Typhoon got points for dodging the wall while being pushed when it hit the pit cover and bounced away. I like the robot Typhoon but it was so obvious they shouldn't have won

dont get me started on the Storm 2 vs Tornado match

Shameless RWW advertising.

I agree that Storm II was probably the most original bot. It was probably the best bot as well, given the fact it could actually go the whole distance. Most bots get completely wrecked after two or three big hits, but Storm II could probably win all its matches back to back if it wanted to.

Original??? Storm 2 was an indubitably amazing robot, and a powerful battler, but the one thing I cannot bring myself to say about Tornado and Biohazard's lovechild is "original". Seriously, if you think it's the most original thing in Series 7, you're glossing over Tartarus, Rhino, Big Nipper, Crushtacean, Barberous, Sub-Version, Megahurtz LT, Kraken, Mantis, Robochicken, and Sparatcus.

Fav RW Bots - Storm 2 (even with the producers against them, they took 2nd place and the world champion title), Firestorm (always coming back with a new bot), Diotoir (gotta love the comedy entry), Tough as Nails (honestly, I liked how it worked well in the arena, instead of being like most flippers and flipping bots OOTA, they used the arena to their advantage and got a couple of decent wins), Mortis (I just loved the look of it, shame it didn't go so far in the 3rd or 4th wars.

Least Fav RW Bots - Fat Boy Tin (When I first saw it, I thought "How long will it take for it to get turned over?"), Sir Chromalot 4th wars version (Same as Fat Boy Tin), Humphrey (I just didn't like it for some reason), Juggernot 2 (That thing didn't look as menacing as the other competitors, maybe for the 3rd wars.) Twn Trwn (It looked like garbage on top of an RC car).

Fav BattleBots Bots - Warhead (Looked very creative), Diesector (I liked the look of it), Deadblow (Simple and effective.), Voltronic (Simple and effective, and I remember it beating Razer back in 1999).

Least Fav BattleBots Bots - Abbatoir (that was one weak SHW), Biohazard (I got bored of watching it win constantly), Sunshine Lollibot (All it needs to do is turn and its already out.), Minion (It could've added a self-righter), what's left of Stewbot (Well, you saw what happened.)

I'm more concerned about what an "Abbatoir" is. Is that where they make the cows watch "Mamma Mia" before they kill them?

Yes, it's a french term. And it is a slaughterhouse, yeah.

nicsan2009 · « **Reply #233 on:** May 17, 2010, 06:10:21 PM »

the robot is the almost exact opposite of a slaughter house

I felt like posting my fav bots at the time, that's just how I roll

wow that sounded cheesy

Abbatoir was a robot that competed in the Las Vegas 1999 event and (I think) in Season 1.0. In Las Vegas, Its opponenrt Ricon (2WD rectangle design with 2 saws in the front that go in and out of the chassis) rammed it, then Abbatoir just moved to the middle of the arena, and then started smoking and Ricon only had one side working but Ricon won cause it was still technically alive (unlike what was left of Abbatoir).

Btw, Abbatoir had a chassis that was a bit long in length, it had 4WD, and at the top there was a spinning wheel hub with beater bars (which never got to full speed).

So I'm guessing I'll have to explain the joke then? :\

HaZaRd155 · « **Reply #237 on:** May 18, 2010, 05:42:30 PM »

i never cared forpussycat. thought it was a stupid looking design and some of the matches it won were flukes. cool when chaos 2 kicked its ass

JoeBlo · « **Reply #238 on:** May 18, 2010, 08:43:21 PM »

it didnt do enough ass kicking though

shame Dave turned at the start of his match :/ otherwise it may have ended up in little pieces
