Least favorite robot!

I have freinds.

But no Friends?

Now for an on-topic post

Never liked Biohazard or Panzer. Both were dumb pushers who would be annihilated by some new-age bar spinner any day of the week.

Never really liked Vladiator or No Apologies much either, as they beat Minion (my favorite ever bot when I was a kid)

You're cool.

Never liked Dr. Inferno Jr. because it didn't provide many exciting matches and because it beat Wedge of Doom (not what annoyed me, what annoyed me was that smoke apparently wins a match, even when the bot functions perfectly).

lol ok. Yes I agree about that, the only really innovative robots were Nightmare (HUGE DISC), Warhead (although British), Run Amok (for it's epicness) and Diesector (for its epic clamp)

[NFX]

Vlad The Impaler had the first Self-Righting Mechanism, IIRC. It used a pneumatic piston to kick itself back over onto its wheels after Biohazard had overturned it. It didn't win, though, but I'd still say that quantifies innovation.

How many bots have you looked at?

Biohazard selfrighted first.

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that. But it added those skirts, so it lost the self-righting ability.

EDIT: NVM, GK beat me to it :P

I don't know why I said Vlad had the first Srimech. It had the first purpose-built one, though.

JUST PUTTING THIS OUT THERE, but Tough As Nails is my favourite robot of all time. It's absolutely beautifully designed and I loved watching it in action. And it looked really, really cool.

I agree that it was a very well-engineered robot, and a great piece of design, but it could have put on a better show during its matches, rather than the clamp-and-pit tactics.

Oddly, Crushtacean used broadly similar tactics, why has no-one been going on about that one?

Why though? The aim was to win, not pander to audience hopings for 'exciting battles'.

You make a very valid point there NFX.

[Natef]

You'd do the same thing, wouldn't you, NFX?

I worked it out.

TAN won 67% of its victories by pitting the opposing machine. (Note: I did not include the defeat of BOD in Round 1 because Roboshark Robochicken immobilised it, TAN did nothing) (If that was included the rate goes to 57%)

Just for reference:

Panic Attack won 60% of its victories by pitting the opponents (Note: I did not include pittings of Firestorm, Bigger Brother and Cerberus and non-pittings of Fighting Torque, Steel Avenger, ROCS or Terror Turtle because other robots pitted/immobilised the aforementioned ones in multi-bot battles) (If those were included the rate goes to 57%)

Crushtacean won 57% of its victories by pitting the opponents (Note: I did not include Mr Nasty's or Dr Fist's immobilisations, as they immobilised themselves, or Terror Turtle's as Killalot overturned it) (If those were included the rate goes to 40%)

Narrow margins between PA and TAN, especially if all fights are included.

^^Awesome Post, please enlighten me more. Someone NEEDS to + rep for that awesome logical post.
(Another point) Panic Attack had a slighter advantage to TAN, in Series 2 (whick PA won) there was no pit release switch.

[Vertigo]

TAN is still awesome just for being the first robot ever to be made out of Hardox
