Just to stop this from turning into the TAN appreciation club (Of which I would be a proud member)I think the reason I didn't like Razer is because it was almost too perfect. If that makes any sense. If a robot faced Razer 9/10 times you could tell which way the match would go. Don't get me wrong, it was a marvel of engineering and thing of beauty. But still.
At the time Razer was good, that's undeniable, whether you liked it nor not and despite the blatant rigging of the show in its favour.
Btw guys... Why Razer did not enter to Season 7? o_o

is this bot don't lost all razors in a fight before do a damage thought
Why can nobody answer to my question? ._.
"There was also an incident during the European Championship filmed as part of the 2nd UK Extreme series which went a long way to helping me make this difficult decision [quitting the Razer team].During our fight with Tornado we were immobile and had held on with the claw for far, far longer than the permitted one minute and should have been disqualified or counted out. We were then shockingly given a judges' decision which was never ours, and both myself and Simon immediately wanted to hand it back to Tornado.Ian, as team captain, refused and a long discussion was needed to resolve matters. When I pointed out that a democratic team vote would mean that we should hand the match back I was told by Ian "You didn't build the machine so your vote doesn't count". After giving so much of my life to the team you can probably understand I was more than a little miffed at that comment! Also, the matter had nothing to do with machine construction as it was all down to our honour and integrity, and I believe I had as much a say in that as Ian and Simon.Ian eventually relented the following morning, but refused to be part of the filming when we handed the match back to Tornado. I considered this to be a little hypocritical from someone who in previous series had stated to camera 'we're an honorable team'. It was also a clear indication of how much Ian hates losing. I gave him the benefit of the doubt for storming out after the Pussycat fight in Series 4, but this second show of what can only be described as petulance was too much for me. A seed of doubt had been planted in my mind and several months later it bore fruit in the shape of my decision to retire.This may sound a little ungrateful to some but it is the truth of the matter, and inspite of this I will always be thankful for all the truly wonderful moments that Ian and Simon gave me the chance to experience. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the other roboteers, the film crews and most importantly of all the multitude of fans that have given me such great memories during my time as a roboteer. I do miss you all!"
