Most dissapointing robots

[Scorpion]

Just watching extreme on dave and remembered how dissapointed i was with cerberus and s.m.i.d.s.y.
They were both really cool designs that ended up achieving nothing  .

Any other cool robots you remember that just ended up sucking?

50% of builds by Mark Setrakian

Edit: Or Click or Joey for that matter. :P

I think that's 67%, since I only remember The Master, Snake and Mechadon. And the latter 2 failed. :P

[Naryar]

I remember these three also so i was thinking 66,666...% as well... but maybe he built more than three.

I just remembered another one which i loved despite it not doing to well

Evil Weevil!!!

[Natef]

Hypno-Disc in series 6, extreme 1, and 2.

[JoeBlo]

hmm a few..


Behemoth- how much more unlucky could you get ?


Corkscrew- looked as powerful as Typhoon yet fell in the pit


259- one of my favorites, again really unlucky

[Scorpion]

 

Yeah i completely agree with behemoth, it always did well in everything exceot the u.k championships.

And hypno-disk never dissapointed, but the term always the bridesmaid never the bride comes to mind...

Cold Arbor - Going to motorama 2010 it was the bot I feared the most. It had a large saw clamping arms and it just looked scary. It ended up not working properly and going 0-2 loosing to another sawbot and a hammerbot.

Little Flipper 3:

Should always do better than it does

The Matador : Not as much dissapointing, really unlucky, but still:

All of the incarnations of Son of Whyachi after the original.  Thread over.


@SKBT: whoa Cold Arbor is cool, I want to see that working properly...

Thread not over, Son of Whyachi wouldn't have done well any way.  The original Whyachi's only win was by forefit, how could one expect the far weaker twin to do much better?  To be honest, Son of Whyachi probably one of the few bots I dislike because Terry Ewert was pretty much abusing a rule when that thing was originally entered.

Not all those bots were built by Mark Setrakian, Ronin I pretty sure wasn't (at least he wasn't its driver).  Also Setrakian get two points in my book that makes up for some of his bots lack of combat wins, 1) its thanks to him that the Superheavy weight category came and 2) no bot has surpassed Mechadon in terms of coolness.

LR Evo has never done well after it's win in Nottingham. It's plagued by reliability and battery faults.

Turn OFF automatic flip, turn ON manual flip
You'll have a much better chance then, trust me (I've been going to roaming robots as a roboteer since 2004)

[Zog]

You have to buy manual flip as an upgrade, and I'm not going to be around much (new school, basically a boarding school)

[Naryar]

Blood Moon getting... well, screwed by a screw (ILP beware)

[SKBT]

Yeah me to but not against my bot :P

[MassimoV]

For me they are 259, Cassius 2, and Frizbee.

For me they are 259, Cassius 2, and Phrizbee.
