Least favorite robot!

Storm and Tornado aren't that alike.

Powerful 'boxes' who relied on pushing power (Storm through speed, Tornado just sheer strength) is as far as similarity goes.

I never really cared for Pussycat. It just... Bugs me

The idea that he always landed on his .... paws.... was cool though.

Yeah. It definitley was unique. I also hated Diotor. It was just silly. Why would you put Fur on a robot when you KNOW it will be put in a arena with flames?

maybe the team didnt like channel 5??

or they had got to atached to razer and wanted to keep it shiny for display?

maybe they had decided that they were going to step down and let new robots fight?

maybe razer was getting outdated?

maybe razer had been kidnapped by a small army of ninja pirates and so could not enter?



pick your favourite.

This is an excerpt from Ian Lewis.  If anyone can figure out what the bloody he's trying to say, please enlighten me:

Before S7 I did a lot of research, a lot of my time was taken on the phone to Steve Carsey, to-ing and fro-ing.
As   a high profile team I felt it finally layed upon us to put it 'all' on   the line, FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR 'EVERYONE' INVOLVED.
I could see,   as well as Steve, that if 'Things' did not reach a critical mass 'again'   then we were all in for the arrival of the end of our beloved RW.
Mentorn played a very cool business line, we nearly pulled it off.
Back ground conversations go on, not even the greatest gossips know the whole story or ever will. I don't discuss everything.
A   few of us stood very strong, and painfully bit our lip as the show went   ahead. We heard the BS gossip that was flying around, and the people   fuelling it..........judge their caracter if you will.
Simon and I have had to 'Step up to the Mark' on many occasions,and we've stood strong, here and in the U.S.
We are proud of our achievements and respect whole heartedly the achievements of others. 
 
The   picture and story is a very complex one, never try to genralise, it   misrepresents and doesn't do the parties involved, the justice they   deserve.
 
Here's to happier days where we all have a dam good battle, " like nothing better ".
 
Ian...........Razer

I guess they're trying to say that they didn't want to be embarrassed by losing the last series of RW, or that they quit because of all the rumors spread about them. But that's just a guess.

FOR FUN.
THAT IS WHY THIS SPORT EXISTS.

This. Hence why if I ever do get around to learning how to build a robot, it shall be painted in bright colours and have a smiley face on the front.
 
I always liked the teams that had some sort of gimmick, like Nemesis, Plunderbird, Sir Chromalot, even Robochicken. They brought such a lot of fun to the sport, I would love for that aspect of it to be brought back.

Another couple robots I am not fond of... Atomic and Wheely Big Cheese... both used Nitrogen in their flippers and I believe that is beyond stupid (Especially with Atomic's setup with a Fire Extinguisher can)

That's news to me, how can you tell it's Nitrogen?

Nitrogen is totally safe as long as you don't exceed your systems pressure ratings. A typical 4" bore cylinder can do 2,700 psi and almost all consumer grade air tanks (paintball) are rated for 3000 psi. Also there's this nice thing called a burst disc that is in all paintball tanks and in most pressure gauges that will burst when a certain pressure is reached.

My thoughts on running an over pressured system are, let them do it and if it blows up it's just an assumed risk that the builder had to take.

This is why I love the fact that real roboteers are on the forum.

[haz]

i can see the "if it blows up in their face its their fault" point but they were puting others in danger (in the pits and arming the robot)

Didn't Diotoir get hit by a no fur rule or something eventually?

And I think RR is just finding the most tenuous reasons he can for not liking as many robots as humanly possible.

Atleast now everyone only really uses air (ants) or Co2, mostly because they are the only sources available
