It does compete now and then from what I can see. But mind you, it did provide this little gem against Turbulence in the 2006 UK Championships-

But personally, I don't see anything wrong with Mute. Sure its flipper wasn't designed as well as it could be, but I thought it was a pretty cool design.

I did like Mute. I like small and compact robots, rather than large flimsy ones.

One robot I didn't like was Haardvark. I've got no idea why, I just didn't like it.

So one of the appeals behind Chaos 2, then? :P

And also, I wonder why that could be? My guess is something to do with it eliminating Plunderbird 2 in the Gauntlet.

I think that was it. Plunderbird 2 was awesome, and it should have gotten at least into the Arena.

Indeed- you didn't see Haardvark taking out two house robots in under thirty seconds, did you? Unless of course you count Dead Metal driving off the podium after it in the Sumo, but still :P

For me however, it was more of a massive disappointment after the awesome Steg 2, which had the power to take out Mortis and Iron Awe, and only Chaos 2 was able to eventually stop it.

I've noticed that a lot of peoples' least favorite bots are ones that have beaten their favorites.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #590 on:** June 12, 2011, 07:51:46 PM »

That's not a reason to hate or dislike a robot. it's a competition, so how can you expect for nothing competitive to happen?

To bring this back...

I'm going to go out on a limb and mention Killerkat- one of the few designs on RW I consider to be an absolute joke from top to bottom.

In terms of design, it had no redeeming features- slow, weak, ineffective weaponry, and one of those large chassis types that makes it vulnerable to more or less every type of weapon there is- a bad choice when you've got flammable armour that appears to be about as resistant as balsa wood.

And that's not even mentioning its near-complete lack of originality- a poor man's Pussycat, I consider it to be. So yes, from the description, you can probably imagine why I don't like it.

It looked a bit like Direct Action, IRRC

I liked direct action :c

Was funny how they went out though.

Didn't like twister from series 7 though tbh.

Without a doubt, my least favourite robot is Tough as Nails (Or "Cheap as Chips" as I like to call it). I mean, that thing won only by the cheapest methods possible-immediately grabbing opponents and pitting them-no action, and always boring and predictable.
Plus how they pitted Disc-O-Inferno (Who I looked forward to seeing that year, and was dominating the fight!), and did Panic Attack and RoboChicken out of their respective victories.
And then there's the World Championship. We could've had GRAVITY in there, but nooo....
I was so happy when Bulldog Breed and Storm II gave that cheap excuse for a robot a taste of its own medicine.

And if I had to pick a second choice, it'd probably be 13 Black, for what it did to Chaos 2 in RW Extreme Series 2.

Well I'm glad that someone else hates T.A.N. cos Jonathan and Craig always were banging on about how its "the largest horizontal crusher of its kind" but it made no attempt to create any good battles by dumping them down the pit. The robots from the Netherlands are some of the most impressive I've seen - the series of Gravities, Scraptosaur, and √3, but T.A.N. has ruined it completely. (Insert frowny face.)

I also despise T.A.N. Could have done well on it's own, but it had to just dump everything into the pit. Bulldog Breed is one of my favourite bots just for beating it.

Chaos 2, hated George Francis. Easily beaten by good robots, Razer, and didn't even stand a chance against Dantomkia.

Best robot? Guess.

Don't hate on him/her/him/her/him/... her?

Disliked Wild Thing for all its rip-off victories over Prizephita and 259. In both series it was somewhat meager, and I thought it was very lucky to get as far as it did.

Disliked T.A.N. because it ripped-off Robochicken. Got beaten by one of my favorites in the end though :D
