Title: Top 100 UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time
Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on October 11, 2012, 12:50:41 PM
I'm making a video of the 100 greatest Robot Wars bots ever soon. You can give me suggestions. THIS WILL NOT BE BIASED.

I can assume that this includes US RW? After all the British series was technically just a continuation of it.

If you aren't going to include this stuff then you should probably call it "100 greatest UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time."

This has nothing to do with Combat Record, Robots that have made an impact IMO like Sir Chromalot, Plunderbird will also be on this list.

Well if it is just supposed to be robots that made an impact then you have to throw in La Machine, X1, and The Master. First Wedge, first lifter, and first axle/thwack bot.

Post by: That Robot is a Spy! on October 11, 2012, 02:49:40 PM
Also, only 1 bot per team. Sadly, that means no Mace or Bodyhammer.
Also TAN is on the list, but nowhere near that high.

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

Edit:
Robodoc, 101, Steg O Saur Us, Steg 2, Napalm, Beserk, Dreadnaut, Big Cheese, Thing...

Edit 2:
King buxton... I could go on

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.

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.

Recyclopse was the first robot to flip another robot using a flipper. So what's your point?
Look at the ones I edited in, Anarchy, Robodoc, and 101 were all good robots in their own right. Same with Big Cheese and Wheely Big cheese, and Steg o Saur Us and Steg 2.

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"
Title: Re: Top 100 UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time

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

Big Cheese = Wheely Big Cheese?

Bodyhammer = Pussycat?

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

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?

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.

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..

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.

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

How is this not bias when the majority thinks you should include bots when you don't want to because you "personally" think another bot deserves it more? Why don't you make out a list of bots and we vote of them for ranking them (what bots to keep and what not), then your list will represent the majority and will not be biased.

You did as well as you could have, given the infinite variables, vague criteria, and pool so huge.  Here are the changes I would have made:


Too high (or shouldn't have been included if low already): Mighty Mouse, Mega Hurtz, Lambsy, X-Terminator
Too low: Raging Knightmare, Iron Awe
Should have made the list: The Alien, Revenge of Trouble n' Strife, Arnold Arnold Terminegger, Milly Ann Bug


Te important thing was, you got the high numbers right.  A lot of people would have switched #2 and #1, but you made the right call given the merit of their achievements.

My opinion:

And where was

Fun fact: If I hadn't lost the vantecs before series 7, Phoenix would have been driveable and we would have had a fighting chance at beating him. But for that match we were running EV Warriors on what were essentially two on/off switches, fun.

Too high (or shouldn't have been included if low already): Mighty Mouse Iconic appearance, had an even win record, very much an underdog, Mega Hurtz Iconic appearance, Long time competitors, but a bit high, I agree, LambsyMade the final in the Minor Meltdown, and beat Wowot (despite a bit of luck), X-Terminator OOTAing 2 bots with the flywheel, only once failed to make a Heat Final, Made a Semi and a Grand Final
Too low: Raging Knightmare I agree, it did get an OOTA, and it did reach the semi final,as well as do well in the annihilator, but what else?, Iron Awe It's a decent machine, but are you sure you are judging it on it's time on RW?
Should have made the list: The Alien Reached Heat Semis twice and Round 1, not outstanding , Revenge of Trouble n' Strife Knew I forgot something in the HM, Arnold Arnold Terminegger HM , Milly Ann Bug Should've been in HM, I agree


Te important thing was, you got the high numbers right.  A lot of people would have switched #2 and #1, but you made the right call given the merit of their achievements. Yeah, I thought the surprise factor would be nice, plus a lot of people do feel 1 is better than 2 anyway, even though 2 beat 1 twice
