I'd thought that panic attack had retired after that gold robot incident.

you mean when they were on that drug trip ? :P

Oh yep.
First time i saw it i thought it would actually be good.
It was lower, more compact and gold!!

Then i heard why it was gold...

And then i saw the battle...
i think it didn't deserve to even get as far as it did

What happened and why was it gold?

What happened and why was it gold?

Well in season 6 panic attack III was not used by the panic attack team (i believe it was sold but that may just be a rumour).
Instead they built a new version of panic attack that was obviously supposed to be an improvement.

However the robot was entered into season 6 completely untested (and probably unfinished).
It was Pathetically slow by any robots standard, especially panic attacks and just barely scraped through the very first round before getting knocked out by terrorhurtz i believe.

The robot was so rushed that they had run out of yellow paint while painting it so they used gold instead (thus why I dismissed it as the gold robot rather than panic attack 4 as it should be called).
Anyway they never used that gold monstrosity again and brought back panic attack 3 instead

BTW does anybody know what happened to the gold robot after season 6?

no it wasnt sold as far as I know.. the reason Kim Davis wasnt part of the team in series 7 was because he was working on set with robot wars around the arena (IIRC he was the one who pulled out the safty link on Behemoth when it was stuck in forward drive)

Going back to the TAN debate because I missed most of it and want to give my 2 cents :P

TAN was in no way a cheap design. It's not cheap to use an arena hazzard to benifit you. Trust me it's the reason why they are there. It shocks me that it took so long for TAN or bots like TAN to appear.

As far as I know Panic Attack used window wiper motors for drive and the typical output RPM for those at 12v is around 250 and I think PA ran 24v so you can look at about 500RPM and with 5" wheels that's about 13-14 mph if you run at 12v that's around 7 mph. I think Gold PA ran 12v instead of the 24v run by PA3. (I'm not sure though this is all from memory)

Edit: I guess I better post my least favorite bot. :P

It's...

They were on crystal meth, the color was so it wouldn't be obvious (personal joke) =P

Anyways, I liked how the gold PA looked, but it was so bad I thought Granny's Revenge could beat it.

Scorpion · « **Reply #313 on:** September 02, 2010, 03:17:57 AM »

Yeah i liked the look of it, especially the size of it.
It was even lower than P.A 3.
You never know, with a ~~bit more~~ lot more work that chasis could have been put to good use....

the robot itself structurally was as strong as Storm 2 (not talking about armour obviously :P) really... fast drive and making it invertible (it was pretty flat and no self righting ability) and it could have been a pretty effective robot.

but they decided to go for the slow pushing robots..

Exactly, infact i think they could have won another championship if they had made P.A invertible, at the very least got to another final.

I mean that self righter was not very good and usually led to them being beaten by firestorm

but Panic Attack would been kicked by Chaos 2...

It depends.

Why it depends? Give me an example.
