Top 100 UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time

[090901]

Sorry, as much as I like those bots, I find it unfair to allow teams to have 2 bots in there,

How is it unfair when they spent the time and money to make some of the better bots instead of just making a cardboard box on wheels?

Sorry, as much as I like those bots, I find it unfair to allow teams to have 2 bots in there, and it is also kind of confusing, since their names are quite similar. A couple of the names you mentioned are there, so you won't be dissappointed.

Then your list is going to be quite tedious then. Multiple teams have entered multiple good robots, I don't think it's right for half decent robots to be shunted out in favour of The Inquisitor and the like due to the subjective concept of "Fairness"

[Classicus]

Recyclops started UK robots down the flipper road so it could definitely be in there.

I'm just trying to make the list more diverse, that's all, I don't want 2 robots from the same team that are nearly the same on the list.

Thank you! Plus it looked bloody awesome.

Big Cheese = Wheely Big Cheese?
101 = Anarchy?
Recyclopse = Cassius?
Bodyhammer = Pussycat?

Just because they are made by the same team doesn't mean that they are the same.

[Conraaa]

If you're only allowing one robot per team you may as well call it the top 100 teams in Robot Wars, as it won't truly be the top 100 robots.

Were there even 100 noteworthy teams?

[Probably Rob]

Recyclopse was the first robot to flip another robot using a flipper. So what's your point?

I DID say I somewhat agreed with you on that.

And before I said the Cassius thing, I WAS originally going to say that I agreed with you considering it flipped Matilda.

[That Robot is a Spy!]

Alright, mini spoiler for those who want the list to remain a complete suprise, I'm revealing a robot near the beginning of the list (90ish area) to use it as an example as well as 4 other bots which are quite obviously on the list..

Let's use Ceros as an example. I personally think this bot deserves the place for it's unique design, strong weaponry, and for how well it did (1 Heat Final isn't that much, but it is better than some on the list). If I start adding Bodyhammer, Mace, Big Cheese and Beast of Bodmin etc to the list, I'd lose a lot of spots to other deserving bots. So what if all those bots are more outstanding than Ceros? I've put down the best bot the team has, so Pussycat, Gemini (yes I know Mace did better, but Gemini is the first clusterbot, and that is a good reason to put it down), Wheely Big Chese and Roadblock. I'm already pressed for spaces on this list as it is, why should I compress it even more?

I said that because you made it sound like being the first robot to flip another in robot wars was minor in comparison to Cassius being Cassius.

Going by your list, how many "Big Hitters" are there? I.e "You're making a list? These bots have to be in there!"
I'm willing to bet it's not that much.

Panzer MK4 - Winner of both US Robot Wars
Drillzilla - One of the best walkers that's ever competed.

Uk robot wars. However if it was all inclusive Panzer would probably be in the top 5.

Sorry, I would add these if it wasn't the international competitions that they competed in. Panzer probably about just under 20 mark, Drillzilla about 30 IMO.

[Natef]

Crap. We should do an international one next.

Crap. We should do an international one next.

I'm certainly willing to do a Top 25 International Robot Wars, with Dutch, American and German Robot Wars.

Also, only 1 bot per team. Sadly, that means no Mace or Bodyhammer.

I can think of a good few robots that are going to be screwed over by this rule. Killerhurtz, Recyclopse, Roadblock, Chaos, Robot The Bruce, Groundhog, Big Brother etc and most of those should be in the 100 imo

I say let them in

Roadblock? Why would Beast of Bodmin be in the list? It was awful and was not the first UK Robot Wars champion.

Granted Robot the Bruce was in a final, Chaos 2 won a final - twice.

Firestorm reached three Grand Finals; Groundhog did not.

Recyclopse I somewhat agree with, but no, Cassius was the first UK robot to self-right.

Recyclopse was the first robot to flip another robot using a flipper in the UK...

Wait, it actually managed to flip something? I thought it just sort of pushed stuff around.

But I thought Shufflers weren't considered Walkers? Hehehe

Yes- Matilda in the "British Bulldog" Trial, and then Scrapper in the Heat Semi-final.

Alright List Completed. You can now make predictions on who will win/be on it/top 10/whatever. You can also suggest robots I may have forgot, as the video has not started being made yet, maybe ones I overlooked.
EDIT: I may ask people their opinions on the list I have ATM and they may help me shuffle it about.

[090901]

You ask us to give you suggestions then go out and make a list?
This could hardly be called "Top 100 UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time", you might as well and go rename it "My Favorite 100 UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time".

No, because my favourite is not first at all. My second favourite is like mid 20's somewhere.

[Naryar]

Tough as Nails. Definitely.
