Easily one of the worst robots I can remember was B.O.D. from Series 7- I couldn't find a single redeeming aspect of this robot in terms of ability, nor construction.

Was that not the one made out of plywood?

I never liked Gravedigger for some reason. It just seemed quite dull, and when they tried to improve it, they completely failed.

Me thinks BOD was made out of plastic.

No- that was Brutus Maximus. Even that lasted longer in both appearances than B.O.D. did, and it had Razer and Pussycat to deal with in seperate battles. B.O.D. was made out of paper-thin plastic that I think that even Mazakari could've cut through.

But Gravedigger- I liked the artwork on its front wedge though, I have to say.

I liked Mazakari. If you are gonna make a reference to a crappy spinner then use Spin Doctor from Series 6 of Robot Wars

There is that, but I think everyone had their doubts about its power- it looked so light and slow that it probably wouldn't have been able to scratch Balsa Wood.

Mazakari's name was awesome.

Yeah- that I can certainly agree on.

To update this...Spikasaurus, most definitely one of my least-mentioned hated robots, and the poster bot for "Lucky Smegger".
Won the Northern Annihilator on the backs of everyone else by running away, and the team to me, seemed like a bunch of smug, overconfident prats. What makes it worse that it was the only genuinely crap robot in the Annihilator- everything else it competed in proved that. And even without Chaos 2 in the later rounds, there were still other awesome robots in there like Killerhurtz, Stinger, Suicidal Tendencies and Dominator 2.
Instead, you get that horrible thing riding on their backs to get its filthy hands on the title.

~stuff~

I just watched the Northern Annihilator, but I didn't see what you saw. I saw Spikasaurus being very aggressive and doing very well (Except the end, which was just dumb luck.) I think some one just having butt hurt.

Or is someone having zeir Mittelschmerz?

I absolutely despised Kan Opener.

Das Bot, it didn't do anything and yet it luckily win against Ziggo.

The original Cassius. Should never have lost against Panic Attack.

I thought "Rat Amok" was dumb, mostly because of the uninteresting weapon.

DoorStop... stupidest robot I've built... good waste of $600... the weight distribution is way off and causes it to be unable to drive straight consistently.

Typhoon, their whole team were liars, cheaters and general dicks.

As someone who has been on robot wars and has met, and competed against Team Typhoon I can say that is complete and utter shash.

Er, no

You do not have the right to talk about people like that when you have not even met them

They certainly weren't intending to cheat, for example, the 3-2 was a dirty tactic, but certainly not cheating. I feel for the other roboteers though, though shoddy event organizing is to blame here, and not the team. It's the same with PA and Mini Morg teaming against the 2 non Welsh bots, except PA was a crowd favourite (and mine) and no one cared.

Typhoon did not cheat against Storm either. It looked like it was their fault, but the producers screwed Storm over. If you saw the shenanigans against Storm, like Firestorm, Supernova and Tornado as well you'd understand.

So the officials are to blame, not the roboteers. I'm pretty sure Typhoon feel guilty to this day.

And I know they said that Typhoon was not damaged, how did they know that a chain snapped out during the fight?
