I don't believe I actually agree with someone here. I absolutely effing HATE Spaz and its builder. If it wasn't for dumb luck in the semi-final of 2.0 vs. Bad Attitude, it never would've won the Middleweight Championship.

For those that were at RFSHQ a year or two back, you've seen my tirade against the builder Mike Regan. I don't want to relive it.

Also, not exactly under "bots I don't like" but rather "bots that could have been so much more": Drillzilla from Extreme 1. Even though the robot was 352 lbs (132 lbs heavier than the British competitors), all it had for weapons were two dinky little extensions from the sides of the robot and a drill that didn't work well in the back. In all honesty, if it had a much better weapon set-up, it would have won more matches than it did.

So Spaz is to you what Tough as Nails (Cheap as Chips) is to me, right?

Anyway, DrillZilla was bloody good in spite of its limited weaponry, though. It beat Firestorm 3 and Manta, finished as runner-up in the Second World Championship (Where it fought Razer to a judge's decision), and won one of the US Robot Wars Annihilators.

And also, it did actually compete in Battlebots with more weaponry (A sawblade rack in the front pincery things) as "DreadBot".

My least favourite was one from the early days called Rhino Halon. Its weapon was halon gas, a chemical that disabled petrol-powered engines on contact. Even though that wasn't technically illegal (at the time), it's a million times cheaper than a Sit-and-spin equipped with an anti-pit device, whose tactic is to grab and pit other robots.

I just dislike robots that were good idea but were built badly.

1) Mace: Really, A Flail?, that has to be one of the single most inneffective weapons EVER!!!

2) Beast of Bodmin: If you're going to build a flipping weapon, do it properly, not a useless puny spike!, plus those eyes were a complete waste of weight, they could have made the entire wedge a flipper without that extra weight

3) Final Destiny: A robot that self-destructs every time someone lifts up a skirt, that was a good idea!

4) Detonator: Crap, just pure crap

P.S: my favourite robots are Big Cheese, Pitbull & Gemini

I don't know why people hate Spaz ? It's a simple and fun design if driven well.

Also, i nominate Wheely Big Cheese for worst name ever... it also had a pretty gay skin and wheels.

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #116 on:** March 31, 2010, 04:07:17 AM »

I disagree, wheely Big Cheese is my 3rd favourite bot!

What are you smoking. Yes Inertia labs built Rhino. But the one that fought in battlebots Longbeach 1999 and Vegas 1999. It had a pnumatic spike much like Rammstine. Yes it did have a heavy weight on the back and could act as a thwack. No FBS there. (IRL a FBS is a what is called a Sheck Spinner here) Yes there was a Halon Rhino (not official name but called it). It fough in RW 97 in the heavyweight division. Check your facts before you post.

Info on it.

halon rhino was the origanal version, I geuss I was being ignorent. But one of it's attacks was to spin in place to make a cloud of halon. And FBS is a bot that spins in place. The SHW did have spike though.
