          Samuel, I think youre missing the point of this. I dont think you put much thought into these choices, most are copied from me... :P

          Please try and revise them, and put some thought into why you chose them. It would also be nice if you told us why you chose them as well, like I did. :P

            Aw come on, the point of this is that there WILL be some moments several people shall name, so I dont see much of a problem if your list and Sams list show similarities Kody. I presume you did some reading into the moments that happened when you werent around Sam? Some extra expxlaining wouldnt hurt though but apart from that its a nice list...

              Hmmm.... I supposed I should do this... except Im going to be lazy about explaining my reasons.

              10. The First Fight: The Disc vs Slammer There have been plenty since, and I cant remember when it was, in what tournament, or what happened beyond the disc winning, but it marked the start of THE grudge-match, no two bots have likely fought more and its been great fun from that first fight to the most recent.

              9. The New-wave An influx of new competitors in the last two years means that vapourbots are probably as successful as they have ever been.

              8. Martijns Debut Although there have been plenty of great new vapourbotteers in the second age (see below), there is only one (in my oppinion at least) who has managed to get to the point where I forget there was a point where he wasnt competing. Congratulations Martijn.

              7. The RW Forum Exodus May have seemed like a shame at the time, but without that move we would never be where we are today.

              6. Steves Debut Not only the writer of the PTT, but also a great all round guy and an undeniably formidable opponent in the arena. Where would we be today if it wasnt for everyones favourite Villainous Professor?

              5. The PTT Was always The tournament for me, it often seemed like everything else was just a side show.

              4. The Second Age of Vapourbots - After everything had seemed to die, it raised phoenix-like from the grave with a little help from Kody and a few others.

              3. MDUs Debut - MDU best represents the first shifts towards greater depth of stats and at least moderately greater realism. Plus it dominated vapourbots like no bot had before and no bot has since.

              2. Vapourbots Get Their Own Section Originally they just lived in the general section of the RW forum, but the movement to their own section of that site marked a new development in the history of vapourbots.

              1. The Beginning and the Debut of Frank - the start of it all

                at what point did this second age of vapourbots start in your opinion Alex? after the RW/FRA switch I guess?

                o, and thanx

                  Alex, Im going to be in severe danger of taking over Joeys title of saddest git on the forum here:

                  The Disc and Slammer first fought in From 72 to 1 on the old RW forum, which I remember mostly due to the fact I got two robots into the grand final

                  -2>but still failed to win

                    Martijn: I thought I kind of implied it, but after the forum got ressurected after we had that pretty much dead year (the year before last I think?)

                    You could do it by forum location, but I was thinking of age in a kind of length of continuous life sense. There are a couple of other ways of doing it I can think, but this one appeals more to my sense of melodrama.

                    Frank: I remember that, infact I think they ended up fighting twice because I won a losers melee or something, but I had a vague feeling theyd fought before that?

                    Plus I wouldnt worry. No one can even come near Joeys title of saddest git.

                        It would have been hard for Slammer and The Disc to fight before that, seeing as that was The Discs debut tourney

                          Really? I had it down in my head that the disc was older than slammer. Apparently not though...

                            I would say the 2 robots which have met the most times would be the Son of Ripper series against the Spin Dash series.
