Vote for your top three.
For the HW UK champs last year you all got it completely wrong. Let's see if you can do better this time :P
-
is there a list?
if no I go for Firestorm, Spawn Again and Detonator
-
You got in so quick I hadn't had chance to add it!
that`s what she said.
-
Eruption, Thor, and Behemoth are my three picks, but I'm hoping Behemoth will be able to win it in particular. :P
-
Thor, Manta & Behemoth for me.
-
So what does Team Shock's Manta look like anyway?
-
Wait a minute... Iron Awe 7?! If its gonna be anything like IA6 or IA5 then :rage
-
Nice.
-
Waaaait...

Does Steel Avenger have a new name or why it's not listed in the poll?
-
Quick question, how is Manta seeded yet Its only competed at an event once (to my knowledge anyway)?
-
Predictions:
Eruption
Thor
Titan
Manta
TR2
Iron Awe 7
-
Because it's the replacement for Maelstrom which would have been seeded.
Ahk, so its the teams new bot. Gotcha :smile:
-
My top three in order: Iron Awe 7, Thor, Eruption.
My heat predictions:
Eruption (1) vs Beast vs Meggamouse
Thor (2) vs Rattler vs Raging MORG
Iron Awe 5 (3) vs Titan vs Scrapdog vs Dantomkia
Manta (4) vs Cherub vs Terminal Ferocity
TR2 (5) vs Toon Raider vs Saint
Ripper (6) vs Iron Awe 7 vs Tanto

My pick is Beast, Even though I made troll picks.
Also, 2 other questions (Kinda off topic)
1. Do you do that 30 Second to a Minute little intro every fight?
2. Since this is technically now officially Robot Wars, and this is officially Series 8, Will we have to update the RW Wiki?
-

They probably should.

1. No, that's just to open the show, and the second-half after the interval.
2. I think they should, but they're refusing as it's not "robot wars the TV show".
And making troll picks kinda ruins the poll :/
My top three in order: Iron Awe 7, Thor, Eruption.
I'd be very surprised if IA7 won. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'll soon be winning events, but with this being it's first one there's bound to be teething issues.
I agree with both responses.

I haven't actually seen IA7 yet but does it look like IA6 or IA5 and does it have a powerful flip?

If it's the one I think it is, then it is very slender ( the thinnest robot in there, I think ) and has a VERY powerful flipper.
-
IA7 has not yet been revealed so I cannot say anything for certain, but I would presume it is a similar shape to IA5 and IA6 and I'd be very surprised if the flipper wasn't even more powerful than the last!
helloface199, you can't possibly have seen it. I can't even think of any heavyweights that are particularly slender this side of the world. So stop talking nonsense :P
I thought I saw a really thin black robot in a robot wars 8 promo. :/

that might have been manta
-
Don't really post here anymore but I thought i'd say congratulations to Vert on winning, the finals against Behemoth was a great match to watch. Well done!
-
Any videos around?
-
Got all three right. I used the logic that the reigning champion (Eruption) will go the distance, as even a past-its-prime Chaos 2 was able to make it to the S6 Heat Finals. I then had Behemoth as my second choice, as it's a veteran (can it even be called that anymore? It's been in robot combat for 15 years) that has competed in 7 out of the 8 RW championships and is very strong. My third choice, Iron Awe 5, was also a long-time veteran and I picked this seasoned robot over a new, untested IA7.
-
Wait Cherub got 5th? How??
-
Congrats Vert! You should put a little Gametechmods sticker on your bot :3

Because it lost to Eruption in the Quarter-Finals.

Full show.
Also, how on earth is Tanto a heavyweight? Its so tiny in the arena.

Well duh, but how did it win in the first place??
-
How on God's Green Earth did Saint get 6th place????????????? Seriously, no amount of question marks is enough here.

To answer both your questions: They just sat there while the other bots beat each other up, then the other bot broke down.
-
Interesting. How many "wins" did it attain to get 6th place?

Since it was made to deal with spinners in he US the forks on the front are solid hardox and so are extremely heavy.
-

It won the rumble, and in the Quarter-Finals, lost to the robot that earned 2nd place.

You're talking complete rubbish again. Don't answer a question if you're just guessing at the answer.
Cherub won it's first round fight as Manta broke and it immobilised Terminal Ferocity. Then it got fifth as it was the only one of the quarter final losers to survive to a judge's decision.
Saint won it's first fight by knocking the link out of TR2 and out-scoring Toon Raider. It then got sixth as it survived longer than Thor and TR2 in the quarter finals.
And I wouldn't insult those robots. That team are my friends and there was not one roboteer who thought they were not worthy quarter-finalists.
And just to correct all the rubbish that was said, Eruption beat Thor in the quarter finals, not Cherub, and Saint did not win "the rumble" as we have never had a "rumble" in the UK, so I don't know what that's supposed to mean.
I thought the seeding worked differently. And by "rumble" I meant melee. And I'm not saying they didn't didn't deserve the quarter final spots either. In fact, I'm actually quite fond of Cherub. I enjoyed its unique srimech a lot.
-
Ah. I thought it was judged by who the other robot lost to. For example if a bot lost in the Quarterfinals to the champion, it was the 5th seed. Apparently not.
