Whos Hortron? What does it look like, and is there a video of it in battle?

I wish it serious luck against Iron-Awe by the way.

I second Pauls query, the stats on the RR website are somewhere to the left of uninformative

And no Envy? :sad:

Yes. Can I ask why the stats for the robots on the RR Stat bank are so uninformative. All it says about Hortron is 10mph, low pressure flipper, maybe it has armour And its the same with the other robots. Having done FanFic where you need to be incredibly specific to detail, wed prefer if in Envys stats, it told us everything about the weapon, the AMOUNT of wheels, and other important things so we can get an overview of it all.

And what happened to Envy and Terrorhurtz? I had them as near-certs to get to the Quarters or beyond, so what happened to them?

i believe that the teams provide the info the wanted displayed on the RR site, perphaps these teams dont want to give anything away so i wouldt call it uninformative

Thats where youre wrong, Paul; Hortron doesnt have a flipper, it has a fipper

Hortron has a fipper just like ol Mace 2 had a rear-fail, meh

really though, did the Hortron Team really tell RR they had a fipper without explaining what on Earth a fipper is?

Its secret technology, they didnt want their opponents showing up with anti-fip devices, hence the lack of detail.

Question answered.

Guys all info stu puts in the database is what he gets from the team. So if there is little info talk to the team not RR.
Thz got flipped out by iron awe 5 and Envy tapped out against Tiberius. Tiberius lost against big nipper.

Big nipper just lost against iron awe. It is now against Ripper for third and fourth place.

As Alex says, all the information on robots on the RR database is provided by the teams themselves. Some robots admittedly dont have all the fields filled in and it would be good if the teams could do so, because it would keep everything on the database accurate, full and up-to-date.

Paul, one reason theres no need to be so specific with database stats as in fanfic is that these robots are real. Fanfic writers rely on so much information so that they can get an accurate idea of how the robot will perform, its potential flaws and pitfalls and to generally gain a idea of how the robot looks (often aided by some awesome renders guys ) Real robots dont have writers describing their battles, they actually compete, so any pitfalls and flaws in the design will become apparent in battle and can been seen and watched by people, therefore less detail is required as everything is played out in real life

Big nipper is now third. Ripper evo ended up fourth

I was going to say that in a more condensed fashion

Bit unfortunate there, my two tips to win the championship coming up against each other :P but given this latest info, I think Iron Awe will win...best of luck to both teams though.

And the winner even though the opponent was definately winning up to the moment it just stopped is....

Iron Awe 5

Well done to the iron awe crew, both their robots have been outstanding this event.

Great thank you to roaming robots and I will be there next year to take the title to Holland and Belgium.

Wasnt that the intention this year as well, Leo?

Congratulations to Iron Awe then, its done well over the past few months and is very deserving of the title, in my opinion...and congratulations as well to Jonno for sorting the event out when a few days ago it wasnt looking like it was going to happen, so credit is due there.
