Least favorite robot!

Good comedy value though, particularly when Shunt beheaded it

Just because you can't be that sexy 

Or is it because it was Chaos 2 (which is understandable)?

Admittedly, yes. It was definitely one my worst moments with RW, seeing one of my all-time favourites in that state.

That's it though.
You watch it and get favourites, and then hate seeing them lose.

Just like me and SoW :D

Not necessarily- all its other losses were not so costly. I mean, think about its fight with Bigger Brother. Sure Bigger Brother flipped it over and ended its run as Champion, which even though it made me sad, but it had to happen at some point, and was mainly down to skill rather than sheer brute force.

Well you became sad, which shows you have more emotions for it than most others.
But you do expect everyone to fall once or twice, yet are surprised when tehy are beaten by bots who havent got as far or aren't as good.

Indeed- I was saying that I was cool with it losing, but just not with 13 Black, Razer and Mr Psycho all ganging together to destroy it.

What about the annihilator then?

That too- although it did kind of bring it on itself, there. Had it left Killerhurtz flipped or survived until Suicidal Tendencies died, I think it would've been in with a chance.

1) Tough as Nails/Cheap as Chips

You don't like it because of its tactics. Grab and pit. Why don't you hate Panic Attack jointly?

1) Tough as Nails/Cheap as Chips

You don't like it because of its tactics. Grab and pit. Why don't you hate Panic Attack jointly?

Sure Panic Attack did use those tactics several times as well, but it did at least use other methods of defeating opponents as well, particularly when the pit wasn't available- look at its fights with Toe Cutter, X-Terminator and Sawpoint for instance. They proved that even without the pit on its side, it was an effective fighter, since it could utilise other tactics.
 
Cheap as Chips on the other hand, only has its one strategy- grab and pit. Could have had Gravity or Disc-O-Inferno in the World Championship or Heats instead- far more exciting robots. But no. Instead, you have a cheap oversized pair of tongs that can't win without a pit.

@Golden Fox: I still think TAN is a superior. TAN was built with the RWs arena in mind, Panic Attack only adapted. TAN was not cheap, it simply fallowed what the builder wanted. And to be frank, I think Disco Inferno is a rather lackluster machine, and Gravity while cool, was horridly impractical.

[madman3]

If TAN is cheap then that would pretty much make Gravity, Tsunami, Atomic 2, Iron Awe 5 and, dare I say it, Explosion, cheap as well. They are bots intended to make use of the arena too, huh?

[GoldenFox93]

@GoldenFox: I still think TAN is a superior. That's your opinion, and that's fine- I just hate the robot myself.
 
TAN was built with the RWs arena in mind, Panic Attack only adapted. Only the pit, really.
 
TAN was not cheap, it simply fallowed what the builder wanted. The idea of a "Horizontal Crusher" was actually quite an interesting one in theory, but it's hardly an interesting design in practise if it just grips hold instead of actually doing anything.
 
And to be frank, I think Disco Inferno is a rather lackluster machine, and Gravity while cool, was horridly impractical. Disc-O-Inferno did actually improve in its later years- it won an Annihilator in RW Extreme, tore Velocirippa apart, and got to the Heat Finals in Series 6, only losing out to Bigger Brother. So yes, I think, had it not been pitted, it could have done quite well.
Gravity however, impractical as it may be, was still a far more interesting robot than TAN, in the fact that it could actually do something to its opponents, in this case tossing opponents around like toys.

TAN was built with the RWs arena in mind, Panic Attack only adapted. Only the pit, really. Wasn't the pit lowed by an operator? In most of the cases when Panic Attack used the pit, the battle was pretty much over, with exceptions.

The idea of a "Horizontal Crusher" was actually quite an interesting one in theory, but it's hardly an interesting design in practise if it just grips hold instead of actually doing anything. TAN is not a crusher, it is a clamp bot, just like Complete Control, and no ones calling that cheap.

Disc-O-Inferno did actually improve in its later years- it won an Annihilator in RW Extreme, tore Velocirippa apart, and got to the Heat Finals in Series 6, only losing out to Bigger Brother.

Gravity however, impractical as it may be, was still a far more interesting robot than TAN, in the fact that it could actually do something to its opponents, in this case tossing opponents around like toys. I think it's more interesting seeing an untested design go at it. Disc-o-inferno design is a tired, bland, overused machine. If I recall correctly, Velocirippa was built with a fiberglass shell, which basically is spinner bait as is. Gravity was against some experienced machines, but they were almost entirely infective, had high ground clearance, or was to slow to stop it. The reason why TAN beat them was because TAN was better, not cheap.

This could be a start of somthing great. History may repeat itself! I think you all know what I mean.

Indeed- but as usual, it'll definitely be another case of "The Complainer is Always Wrong". I mean, if I may say so, nobody else on here gets hounded for not liking a particular robot.

I do think TAN had a good strategy.

[GarvinTheGreat]

Who is TAN BTW.

[R1885]

The bot is Tough as Nails. It progressed deep into series seven before being taken out by Bull Dog Breed in the semis. It was a horizontal clamp bot.

[GarvinTheGreat]

Hmmm... I slightly remember it. But just the teenyest tinyest bit.

Just for reference, it was the one that looked like a giant pair of kitchen tongs on wheels.
