My thoughts on Tough as Nails

His tactic on just dumping a bot down the pit was boring, but that got it far in the competition, everyone wants to win (unless you build a bot like Napalm, that bot screamed "destroy me"). I think TAN's design was smart and well made if you ignore the exposed back.
Well, Napalm was decent enough in Series 2, but it quickly became redundant later on.
 
 
Now TAN? Its tactics were what got me most. What excitement its battles had before were quickly turned into boring, predictable scaled-up games of UFO Grabber. Just ask Gravity and Disc-O-Inferno. Never did any damage either, come to mention it.
 
And we could've had Gravity in the Third World Championship, but noooo.

Well yeah, Napalm was good in the first few seasons but as bots were getting better and destructive, they just stayed in the same place.
A little bit like Chaos 2, almost. The key difference being that Chaos 2 was amazing   :approve:

Chaos 2 were good, but should've done some modifications cause as soon as everyone started using Co2 flippers, Chaos 2 were starting to be no better than the rest of the flippers. Chaos 2 will always be epic though.

Yeah...sadly it did get a bit outclassed later in life. But it will always have that unmatched RW 20-match winning streak, and being the first robot to put another out of the arena  :mrgreen:
 
And in contrast, other than the Best Newcomer award in Series 6, what did Dantomkia win in comparison? (Just an example  ;) )

How do you guys feel about Fat Boy Tin? For I while, I wanted to find the match it was in after seeing a picture in a book.

Fat Boy Tin looked cool, but wasn't effective.

Why you guys hatin' on TaN? It's basically the most intelligently designed robot ever, and absolutely beautiful to watch in battle. #1 on my list of all-time favourites.

though I don't like it you cant blame pit dumping on TaN.. its RW fault for adding a pit button.. should have kept the series 4 system when it opens after a robot is defeated IMO

TaN were just exploiting the arena to great success  :gawe:

Chaos 2 sucked. I started hating it as soon as it beat Stinger, which was my favorite bot at the time. It was a good bot at the time but as soon as they got a Full Pressure flipper they started failing.
I also hated Gemini. They were interesting but were dull after a while (thank you Reactor 2)
Then after a while I hated Wild Thing for beating Prizephita.

Dantomkia was a cool design, that's why everyone forgave it for OOTAing everyones childhood favourites.
