...
wat?

Bolt from the Blue did nothing. Diotor could've won if they didn't team up on him, and if its armor and weapon was fully ready. But that's just me!

Now I get it, and I admit Diotoir had bad luck in Series 4. No top armor or weapon, they pretty much sent a flammable target in the arena.

Razor in early series: Pretty much had a small 3 mins lampshading it, with immobilities over the dumbest things.

Bicylopse (Or however you say it.) It took 4 of the final rumble participants to take it out, and it only lost because a part of the drive fell off. Cunning plan didn't attack it because the poor thing would have been crushed.

Razer and Recylopse ares the ones you're thinking of, there.

As for me, Evil Weevil and Gravedigger. Such promise in Series 3, such miserable failures in Series 4.

I think Rex Gerrard is the source of all my childhood dissapointment. Seriously, I hope you die Gerrard.

Anty B in the 1st AW competition. It sucked that it fell down the floor flipper.

Wild Thing. Really didn't deserve most of its victories in season 5 and 6, while it ruled hard in season 4.

Any of the Ming bots

As much as I hate to admit it, Chaos 2 in Series 6 and Extreme 2. Do I really need to say why?

Storm Force. Looked cool, but sucked hard.

Why series 6?

With regards to Crushtacean and Dantomkia- it had major difficulties with the former, in the fact that it was invertable, and Chaos 2 itself was a good size for Crushtacean to grab, in turn holding down its flipper and dragging it around, only really winning after it drove down the pit.

Then there was its fight with DTK- officially one of my worst RW moments.

Mortis- Never advanced farther than a Heat Champion title
Nightmare- If its disk span upwards it would have gotten more wins
Deadblow- I never remebered it doing particularly well sans Kegger and Alien Gladiator
Final Destiny- Wedges hinged on all sides+A top mounted 3500 rpm spinning blade= disaster I wished I never saw firsthand

That looks like it's spinning upwards to me.

Technically, it did- it won the Series 4 War of Independence, got to the Semi Finals in Series 2, won the Best Engineered award in Series 1, and won the Most Agressive Robot award in Battlebots 1.0.

Nightmare I derped on.
Mortis however may have won a couple awards but should have went farther in Series 3 and 4.

Conraaa · « **Reply #56 on:** November 05, 2011, 06:23:15 PM »

I would have let is slide but I wanted an excuse to post that video.
And for disappointing robots i'd have to say Kan Opener in main series appearances. Never getting further than the first round.

My thoughts exactly- in Series 4 in particular, I do think that it could've easily won one of the other heats. And who knows? Judging by who won the other heats, I reckon it could've been a strong contender later on.

How about Ankle Biter? It didn't do anything but flop onto its back until Series 5, where it only beat Moebius by sheer luck.

Speaking of Moebius, that thing should have done better too. Stupid kill saws. At least the Moebius site is still up.

And how about Moe? it had potential to make the finals from series 3 onward, but kept failing.
