Robot Wars Championships 2013 - Official Series 8

[Skiitzzox220]

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.

Congrats Vert! You should put a little Gametechmods sticker on your bot :3

Because it lost to Eruption in the Quarter-Finals.

Well duh, but how did it win in the first place??

[Resetti's Replicas]

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?

[Tweedy]

Full show.

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.

[helloface]

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.
