what about series 2 when the spike overturned it ?
Series 3
Blood Moon's loss was one of the cheapest i have ever seen. I was pretty much rooting for it, but the screw thing tipped it on it's side (i think) and he got immobilized :mad:yes, that was crap

you're talking about the fight against shaft right? there is no way that thing should loose to worthless featherweight shaft
he was so light he was a featherweight
also, I thing Crasha Gnasha COULD have done better, but bad driving killed him
How is Bad Attitude an unlucky robot? They placed in the quarterfinals or better in EVERY BATTLEBOTS SEASON!
every single vid is up on youtube :D
Ifeel Hypno-Disc was unlucky in series 6. It lost to tornado in thesemis (round 1) and then broke down in the loser's melee.
Atomic in series 7 against Typhoon (they flippedthemselves over)
I know but I download them to my computer and just havent done series 2, I currently have 5, 6, 7, E2, 3(50%) and 4 (50%)
+1 they were sooo close to getting typhoon over at the start
just thought, did anyone slse hear BBC is bring robot wars Back?!? THIS YEAR
OH HELLZ YES. :gawe:just thought, did anyone slse hear BBC is bring robot wars Back?!? THIS YEAR
hmm ive heard rumors but the bbc is keeping it secret
just thought, did anyone slse hear BBC is bring robot wars Back?!? THIS YEAR
Robot Wars is owned by Five,
I contacted Robots Live, who didnt have any plans for the UK champs, the FRA doesnt appear to be very proactive at the moment, so once again Im taking the bull by the horns !!
sorry for that bump but I read on the german roboteers site that the original arena was selled to a scrapyard for some less money.
yes ive seen battleaxe he's a house robot for fighting light weightsLW's don't really exist anymore in the UK, battle axe is a house robot for featherwieghts
Storm II. Need I say more?
in Battlebots championship '99 world peace really should have beaten minion.I found that amusing really.
Haven't seen that yet, Buddy Lee D.P.I.T.S. shouldn't have won that match with turbo though. Buddy Lee was practically falling apart.
Hypnodisc vs Nasty Warrior
Forgot to mention Iron Awe vs Hydra vs Kat 3, Hydra was winning and then they drove to the descending pit.More like the house robots timing setting off the button to get rid of Hydra P =<
oh Behemoth dont get me started :P
what about series 2 when the spike overturned it ?
also Hypno-disc plucking out the Fail Safe in Bulldog Breed
Actually BLDPITS isn't defenseless, it has a small undercutting blade.
looks like a BW weapon, not whatever class BLDPITS is. (MW?) It has zero range too, no idea how you could do any damage with that.
One of the Most Unluckiest is Tornado. In 5th season, Diotoir dropped it into Pit.Nah, I'd call that epic win on Diotoir's part!

It pushes bots around while cuting them up with the blade, says it on the team profile on Batlebots.com (it's on the Wayback Archive)

it was proof why Pitz R Ghey :PDepends on how you use 'em, really. If used in the normal way (As a disposal for beaten machines or for hilarious exits, Ala Major Tom), they're pretty damn awesome, but if used in the TAN style (IE. Using them to win EVERY fight because it can't do anything without them), they're ghey, in Nary's words.
Nah, he's not smart enough to use something else than stereotypes.Oh Please...I was asking what he meant by me becoming a stereotype. So quick to criticise aren't you, my handlebar-moustache-sporting chum?
I sorta thought that the early version of Anklebiter was unlucky. I've seen a couple matches with it where it performed well, but was immobilized by getting stuck on the wall spikes, or getting flipped by the killsaws.
I was pissed, when Chaos 2 throwed Steel Avenger Out from the arena...To me, that was one of the funnier moments in Series 5!
Chaos 2's loss to Dantomkia, considering it was taken out by the stunt which it originally created, and the fact that had Shunt not intervened by pushing it into the CPZ where it couldn't selfright, it might've survived.
And allof us with real life robots know how annoying that is :PChaos 2's loss to Dantomkia, considering it was taken out by the stunt which it originally created, and the fact that had Shunt not intervened by pushing it into the CPZ where it couldn't selfright, it might've survived.
Chaos 2 has an almost 0 righting circle (one of the best self righting space sizes in Robot Wars)
the problem with Chaos 2 was the new system put in in series 5, apparently the CO2 was continually freezing in the pipes making it impossible to self right
Quite unlucky, I would say.
Another robot I'd say that luck didn't do any favours was Eric, from Robot Wars Series 3. It had King Buxton right on the edge of the pit (Two wheels over), and when it tried to push King Buxton in, it drove off, and Eric fell in itself!
"Oh no, Silly, Silly Miss Milly!"Quite unlucky, I would say.

Milly-Ann Bug vs. Bumblebot was pretty much the same.
Mechavore when it fought Son of Whyachi
Mechavore when it fought Son of Whyachi
How about Mechavore vs. Biohazard in 5.0? If Mechavore would have only invested in a SRIMECH, it would have won the fight easily.
ok back on topic againyeah i agree with u jb but when the button was put in some matches they put the pit down with out the button being pressed for some odd reason
I will add that series 4 had the best pit ever, it lowered if a boring match was dragging on or once a robot was KO'd, the addition of the Pit Button made it annoying
Its funny looking at tornado nowadays, robot wars champion has gone all rusty
Never did Razer any harm, though :approve:True, but Tiberius is so much better than Razer ever was
TAKE.Never did Razer any harm, though :approve:True, but Tiberius is so much better than Razer ever was
When it comes to unluckyness, remember the problems Diotoir had in Series 3 and 4? In Series 3, they got Stopped by Customs and had to Strip the entire Robot to pieces, then rebuild it again in time for their fights...then In Season 4, they found out that their Armour was too HEavy to Use, AND the weapon chain broke, and they had to enter their first round melee weapon-less and armour-less......and lasted about four seconds. Shame really :(

Tiberius has a more powerful crushing arm :rolleyes:
Razer in series 3 against Aggrobot after breking down.The same thing can be said about what happened it in Series 2, breaking down against Inquisitor.
Pussycat is the luckiest bot I know. It nearly got well and truly thrashed by Fluffy, but then Fluffy dies, ever so predictably.Cerberus was also very lucky- had Killerhurtz not driven into the pit, I'm pretty sure it would have been pepperpotted.
Toro vs Atomic WedgieYES.
nuff' said
Hey guys, how about Pressure Drop?Built by the same guy who built Complete Control, so I have respect for it. And yes it should have won against ankle biter.
It could literally stab through the arena, yet, had legs.

My bot, It got stuck in the wall during the semifinals at FI. :P
X-Terminator was a very good bot overall in series 7. It was just bad against a lot of flippers, which happened to be everywhere in series 7. It still slaughtered a tone of them :P.My bot, It got stuck in the wall during the semifinals at FI. :Pfor a klone of vladiator it should've got out :P
did you drive into the wall?or was it bad ai-ing?
Well for me it's Tsunami and Gravity, TEH BESTESTEST FLIPPAS IN DA WRLD.
*Cue GF93 saying Cassius is*
One beaten by X-Terminator (a very lucky bot, beating Behemoth in series 4 with a puny axe/flipper) and the other by Tornado.
Ugh, hated Tornado.

I think Chaos 2 is the best. After all, it was the first to throw another robot out of the arena!Rear-hinged, certainly. Front hinged? Cassius II :heart_smiley:

You're right, Gravity was better.Rear-hinged?I think Chaos 2 is the best. After all, it was the first to throw another robot out of the arena!Rear-hinged, certainly. Front hinged? Cassius II :heart_smiley:
*Ahem*
I don't think it was Mute. Their self-righter was obscenely powerful, and normally flipped it onto its back again, but they were too close to the wall to want to risk flipping themselves out. Firestorm 5 flipped them OOTA in that match.That was Mute.
Someone agrees with me :heart_smiley:You're right, Gravity was better.Rear-hinged?I think Chaos 2 is the best. After all, it was the first to throw another robot out of the arena!Rear-hinged, certainly. Front hinged? Cassius II :heart_smiley:
*Ahem*
Storm II is the unluckiest. Do you know what Mentorn did to them? Check out their website.
It fired it's flipper and flipped itself OOTA.They let Tornado out of the pit, and IIRC Typhoon lost some of it's drive, and they lied about the damadge they had.
But that's not really unlucky, just bad driving skill.Someone agrees with me :heart_smiley:You're right, Gravity was better.Rear-hinged?I think Chaos 2 is the best. After all, it was the first to throw another robot out of the arena!Rear-hinged, certainly. Front hinged? Cassius II :heart_smiley:
*Ahem*
Front hinged was definitely Firestorm
Nearly always in the grand final and what did Cassius II do?
Drive into the pit.
Gravity is better than Chaos 2 but i do respect them, especially in their match against Wild thing :gawe:
I'll grant you Cassius (the original) was very good and impressive and i liked it a lot, Cassius II wasn't as great IMO (or didn't have a chance to fight)Storm II is the unluckiest. Do you know what Mentorn did to them? Check out their website.
Storm II was my favourite of it's type and i soo badly wanted it to win against Typhoon.
And mentorn messed them around.
1. They forced them to put on an active weapon.
2. In the grand final after typhoon broke the arena, they let typhoon get back up to speed.
3. At the end they said typhoon did the most damage to Storm II, Typhoon lost it's whole weapon and storm II lost a little sheet.
There is loads more aswell that mentorn did to Storm II
Mantis is better.He had a awesome combination of a lifter AND crusher.Although tiberius did haave a nice crusher though,they pierced right through M2's armour in the heat fina-wait that match is one!M2 vs Tiberious in the heat final,M2 about to be finished off they were NEXT to the pit and tiberious drove a bit closer and WAS FLIPPED IN!TAKE.Never did Razer any harm, though :approve:True, but Tiberius is so much better than Razer ever was

Another one for me was Mortis- breaking down at the worst times prevented it from doing as well as it potentially could have, really.For a sec I thought you meant Suicidal Tendencies.
