From one of the reruns I watched, I found another example-

X-Terminator, in RW Extreme Episode One. It had Chaos 2 in trouble when its flipper got stuck open, but when it recovered and flipped X-T over, its axe jammed open and prevented it from self-righting!
And to a simular extent, its fight against Panic Attack in its Vengeance Battle. Good Lord, why did they put that spike on? All it did was intefere with self-righting P=

I heard the commentator saying "Look at those fearsome lifting prongs!" (About Panic Attack)
It just shows how robotic combat has advanced, lifting prongs aren't much use nowadays :P

Lifting Spike got me second place. :P

I meant in the UK, with the relatively small arenas you need something which will be effective IA5/IA6, to stop being OOTA'd

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #167 on:** August 06, 2010, 04:00:01 PM »

Well they look nice on robots like Panic Attack or Marauder, methinks.

Vertigo · « **Reply #168 on:** August 06, 2010, 04:01:37 PM »

Yes, but I think being effective is more important than looking nice :P

Never did Razer any harm, though

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...

Tiberius has a more powerful crushing arm
