How is Typhoon 2 advanced? It's a shell spinner, its no more advanced than any other shell spinner.

I believe he's referring to the robot's internal "Wobulator" device, which allowed it to keep its balance properly when spinning at maximum speed. Apparently, it's a closely-guarded secret amongst the division of the RAF that built the robot.

The "Wobulator" sounds like basic physics of the shell keeping it stable. All shell spinners and cage spinners exert this force.

Perhaps- to tell you the truth, that's all I know of the internals, other than that it's four-wheel drive, and that the spinner is driven by a petrol motor. Thus, I'm not so certain about it being as "Technologically-advanced" as some make it out to be.

It's something I read about in the magazine- if it was that guarded a secret (and that's presumably why), then that's why I put apparently instead of "certainly".

It was just the gyroscopic forces the spinner created

Aye, now that I see that that's the case, it wasn't all that spectacular in the technology department.

Why, because storm 2 took bioazards already champion design, made it faster and stronger, and kicked ass?

remember, there was a lot of bullcrap going around in robot wars, and a lot of exaggerated bragging. The uk had much more high-tech bots than that spinning cone (top bot, terrorhurtz, dantomkia)

None of the robots in the UK (bar Big Nipper) are really high-tech, all these crazy weapon systems are in America

slightly of topic, yeah storm 2 was high tech and advaced, i just dont like it. not becuse it beat a favourite of mine or "copied" a design, i just feel it was a bit of a waste of money, the ti alone on that robot must have cost a bloody fortune. it wasnt really with the spirit of robot wars, just like typhoon. they were designed to win, not to compete.

sorry for going off topic

That wasn't off topic :P

Exactly.. The clone debate for Storm 2 is just stupid..

The robot used the arm in what 1 battle? The team were forced to put it in and told off for not using it.
