It was becoming a trend and to be honest I found TAN's matches better and much less like the rest of the series, which consisted of bots like Judge Shred 3 and M2 just OOTA'ing things.Yeah, OOTA got boring after a while.

Stewbot. 'Nuff said.
1 word, legos. there's a bad quality video of it on youtube.
Typhoon Twins: Due to new rule changes if one cluster bot was out, the other could still fight. Thats unfair.

As displayed by Spaz, Buddy Lee wasn't the answer and Turbo could have wrecked Spaz...Easily)That was Buddy Lee's fight through and through, in my opinon. Buddy lee was the agressor and most of the damage was cosmetic, bar the wheel. And judges taking into consideration "more potential"? That is complete and utter Shash. Battles should be judged purely on the match and that match alone. Not other factors like "potential".Shaft (Looks like something that belongs in between two sheets of drywall) LOLWUT (The design with the padding made it look like wall insulation)Don't remember this robot, so no comment. EDIT: ...You mean the padding stuff around the motors? Thats a bit of a flimsy excuse to not like a robot.Ronin (Lags in DSL, not to mention was slow and boring) And its RA2 counter-part makes it bad why... ? (Lag)Now point out a flaw about the actual, real life Ronin.Run Amok (Wouldn't survive a second in a legitimate competition) So...Robotica/US Robot Wars isn't a legit competition ? (If there was one good Horizontal Spinner on that show, Run Amok would be in pieces) But there wasn't. Robotica was basically one big obstacle course. Run Amok was made for that obstacle course and was good at said competition. You probably wouldn't have seen a Horizontal spinner in Robotica was it would be too much effort for one fight. It's no good planning for the FTTF if you never get there. I personally like Run Amok as it was simple and effective. Also i'm a sucker for car steering.

Now point out a flaw about the actual, real life Ronin.

If it was the same across the board, regardless of weight class, then that would be fine.
I try. :P
