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...

For me they are 259, Cassius 2, and Phrizbee.
Disc-O-Inferno.This
Fluffy. It always lost by conking out on the verge of an easy victory.And this
Killertron, series 4. Should have not taken that break.
A robot lost to sir chromalot, how's that even possible?Killertron, series 4. Should have not taken that break.
Agreed.
Mazakari - Looked awesome, and an awesome name. Iron Awe was immobile first!
Shredder (S5) - I was sure he'd beat Mousetrap, who Oonly got to the semis in S4 by luck. Shredder backed into the pit!
G.B.H 2 - Looked great, but lost to Sir Chromealot, another robot I hate.
G.B.H 2 - Looked great, but lost to Sir Chromealot, another robot I hate.
Let's look at how SC won in each war, shall we?Sir chromalot was way beyond useless.
S3: Sheck Shock's axe was jammed down, and was ganged up by SC and Sir Killalot. SC was immobile at the end of the fight.
S4: Reactor did everything.
Extreme 1: Plunderbird was on the edge of the pit and considered immobile.
S5: Rohog broke down.
S6: Luck.
or they could have entered both like Typhoon/ Typhoon TwinsThe only trouble with that is that their combined weight is over the weight limit. So in effect, if they were to enter the MW contest, they'd only be able to enter one half.
Yeah, and each robot by itself wasn't very goodor they could have entered both like Typhoon/ Typhoon TwinsThe only trouble with that is that their combined weight is over the weight limit. So in effect, if they were to enter the MW contest, they'd only be able to enter one half.
they'd only be able to enter one half.
Perhaps, i still don't think it would do that well, i mean they may aswell just make another robot entirely.they'd only be able to enter one half.
wat?
thats the whole point of this discussion we are having...
one part of Gemini could toss a HW over so you would imagine it would be somewhat like the gravity of MW robots
Diotor in Series 4 - Bolt From the Blue should've gone out....
...
wat?
Razor in early series: Pretty much had a small 3 mins lampshading it, with immobilities over the dumbest things.Razer and Recylopse ares the ones you're thinking of, there.
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.
As much as I hate to admit it, Chaos 2 in Series 6 and Extreme 2. Do I really need to say why?
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.As much as I hate to admit it, Chaos 2 in Series 6 and Extreme 2. Do I really need to say why?
Why series 6?
Nightmare- If its disk span upwards it would have gotten more wins
Mortis- Never advanced farther than a Heat Champion titleTechnically, 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.
Mortis however may have won a couple awards but should have went farther in Series 3 and 4.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.
FTFYWith 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.As much as I hate to admit it, Chaos 2 in Series 6 and Extreme 2.

Then there was its fight with DTK- officially one of my worst RW moments, and one of smashy's best
And for disappointing robots i'd have to say Kan Opener in main series appearances. Never getting further than the first round.Agreed sadly.
TentamushiWas terrible xD
Anyone heard of Stewbot?Yeah- that was the one built out of Lego, wasn't it?
Battlebots I assume?Anyone heard of Stewbot?Yeah- that was the one built out of Lego, wasn't it?
Haz, you do know that Vertigo Built Explosion?Thats_the_joke.jpeg
Construction man (RW Series 6 and 7) could have done a lot betterIt was Demolition Man, actually.
Haz, you do know that Vertigo Built Explosion?He goes to the same roboteering events, and yes, he does.
Murphy's Law was disappointing IMO.it sure was :laughing
Murphy's Law would probably do quite well in task-based robotics, instead of combat alone. Something like Series 1 and 2 of Robot Wars UK.Announcer: "From the UK side of GTM, Murphy's Law"
Mantis was one, we never saw a decent Complete Control weapons system in the UK and it lost rather lacklustrily to Kat 3.I agree- I liked Mantis.
TentamushiActually did well, and had a very clever design, to stop signals through to the bot by smothering it.
Thermidor 2, in Season 5.It lost in round one! :FFFUUU
Killerhurtz- it did very well in BattleBots, but never did as well as it should have over here, really.However I think Terrorhurtz FTW
Yes it was- since competing in Battlebots, they'd forgotten it was there.Killerhurtz- it did very well in BattleBots, but never did as well as it should have over here, really.However I think Terrorhurtz FTW
Oh and wasn't Killerhurtz the one that drove into the pit that time?
stop signals
It had foil on the underside of the shell to block radio signals- at one point in the RW Middleweight melee from Series 3, it did so to Shunt, immobilising it.stop signals
...
what? whered you hear that? i will be completely mindblownd if i get a link
That is awesome. I would totally have a tentamushi avatar now if I could happenstance upon one. winkwinkwink But for now ill stick with this Cameron Diaz character.

Despite being my favourite, im gonna have to say Mortis, every year that it entered it was shortlisted as one of the favourites for the competition and had crap loads of money injected into it, yet it still came up short every timeAgreed. On a similar note, Cassius II deserves a mention here, despite it being one of my all-time favourites. Had it not reversed into the pit, it could've won the whole series.
It had weak armour (poly) and I think 101 would have won on points.Despite being my favourite, im gonna have to say Mortis, every year that it entered it was shortlisted as one of the favourites for the competition and had crap loads of money injected into it, yet it still came up short every timeAgreed.

Actually, it was fairly good for Series 3- but some weapons, like Shunt's axe, had gotten considerably stronger, and it hadn't been adapted to resist the blows. But in all honesty, I think it could've won on points by throwing 101 around.It had weak armour (poly) and I think 101 would have won on points.Despite being my favourite, im gonna have to say Mortis, every year that it entered it was shortlisted as one of the favourites for the competition and had crap loads of money injected into it, yet it still came up short every timeAgreed.

I don't see where the disappointment would be.
If the driver of the RC car was disappointed that he didn't win then he's got a long way to go to succeed in combat robotics.
Guys, I'm just gonna post here. We don't want another flame war.

Sabretooth (Series 6) probably would've done better if they actually used the saw-blade instead of having that extra wheel.IIRC, they broke the weapon shaft in the qualifiers, so they couldn't use the weaponry they'd wanted. On the plus side, it was the fastest Robot Wars entry of all time. =D
Mind you, Facet was pretty quick as well :approve:Sabretooth (Series 6) probably would've done better if they actually used the saw-blade instead of having that extra wheel.IIRC, they broke the weapon shaft in the qualifiers, so they couldn't use the weaponry they'd wanted.

13 Black in Series 7.Owned by Gravity, one of the best flippers ever in RW.

Dominator 2 hasn't been particularly impressive since Season 4.
I put it up cos it did as little as possible in Round One.13 Black in Series 7.Owned by Gravity, one of the best flippers ever in RW.

Were you ever able to free it up, or did you use the red Loctite?

lol that thing had the most amusing failures. the shaft on the gearboxes that literally everyone else uses without failures sheared, one of the esc's did stupid things and then i accidentally loctited gears together in a gearbox and to top it all off, it ate itself.

So like, is everyone on this forum from the UK now? There's like 8 pages of Robot Wars chatter -- am I even allowed to talk about BattleBots? :(

I know right? I'm like the only one that's mentioned BB here :P
Also, kind of off topic are you ever going to get the old GatorAIDS articles onto your new site? I liked reading them when I got bored.
