Fantasy Robot Wars

Series 6 was the Bumper car that everyone remembers. S7 was invertable wedge with 2 suicidal Tendancies style grabbing arms on the front. Was nicely damaged by Exterminator and then flipped out by Tsunami in the first round of the heat.
Henry got bored with being known to have the Bumper Car and wanted to build something a bit more seroius. Thats why at Extreme 2 in the Annialator when he got down to the final 3 with Thermidor and (Doh mental block- yellow bot with grabbing pincers), he asked them not to flip him Out but to leave the Bumper Car to the house robots.
They did as asked and the house robots destroyed the bumper car.

So now you know

Ooh. I just thought they were being really evil for no apparent reason. The house robots that is.

Youre thinking of Kan Opener. The bot with possibly the wierdist battle record ever.

[razerdave]

Fantasy Robot Wars

Its true, that Kan-opener has a really weird battle record, the fact that it can survive a 6 robot battering but never gets past the first round. I think theyve just been unlucky in that respect.

[dinowarrior]

Fantasy Robot Wars

Make that Two 6 robot batterings.

[pcbore]

Fantasy Robot Wars

Yeah, something like 12-0 in annihilators, yet 0-3 in the wars.

Im currently planning new rules for the second Fantasy tournament, which I hope to start some time in the Autumn. Some of my plans include more robots, forum members designing their own machines (not actually building them) to take part and a new seeding system. aNy ideas for next time on how we can improve this?
