I'm fairly certain that Gary was on the wind up.... lets not fall out over anything

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

Yeah, ok I will bring it down a notch
Graham's driving of firestorm was superb, he also had it fitted with this weird mechanical steering as apposed to the conventional one motor for each side.
Perhaps not the best but certainly good was Kevin Scott behind Stinger, that thing was crazy!

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

Gary, can you name one other championship winning driver who managed to hit the arena wall twice during their run?

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

is it too late to nominate Gary?

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

I think the key to being a good driver is consistency. And no-one can drive their robot consistently straight down the pit as well as my dad, so I'm nominating him.

I remember Barnsley 2010 very well. He spent about the first minute of a fight just spinning in haphazard circles, then with great skill he managed to drive the robot in a perfectly straight line right across the arena and into the pit.

No contest.

I would take a wild stab in the dark and guess that every other winner hit the arena sidewall more than I did. The difference being that when I did it, people took note

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

I say Ian Lewis from Razer - Spinner's can just point in the general direction to get a hit - and Razer won the most too. A RW UK winner, double world champion and then survived to win the gigabot rumble over in the US with loads of robots int he arena for 10 mins.

Grant your a bloody good driver...I recon you should get the title of the best driver ever.

[grant_ploughbot]

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

I know I'm the best driver - but as I won (well joint won) the best FW driver award I didn't feel like I need to keep reminding everyone. I might make a DVD with all my best fights in so that people can learn from my awe inspiring skill

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

That's if he ever has a robot

Re: best robot wars driver ever?

Also i say a mention to Hender Blewitt: the driver of Roadblock/ Beast of Bodmin! getting beast of bodmin that far is so impressive
