I think the decision should have been in the judges favor, at least from what we saw.
Also i must ocmment on Behemoth v Mute were tehr house robot sdid hardly any damage at all. And the mute v judge fite didnt last very long at all. Although im glad mute got through to the semis, from the evidence of what we saw on tele, the judge should have gone through. sorry for any mistakes - i am very tired

Heres the first real bit of contraversy and the prog made nothing of what I thought was a poor decision - I was convinced the Judge had it but not by much.

Had time to watch it last night, The heat final seemed short but there was alot of editing going on. Ive not heard it for sure, but I think that the judge was imobile at the end and it was edited to make it look closer. For the last few seconds it seemed as if they only had drive on one side, if thats the case then mute should have won. If anyone saw it did they drive back to the bullpen under their own steam?

if a robot breaks down at the end of a fight.. surely it needs to be counted out before being deemed immobile.

And points lost, not fight automatically lost.

Hence the judges decision.

While Mute is by far the most spectacular robot while self righting....

Style and control????? spending 30 seconds trying to self right doesnt appear stylish and controlled to me, much better to just roll over back onto its wheels and fight on.

Thats the world of tv for you.

The fight was over seven minutes long, so as you can imagine a great deal of footage was missing. The editing seemed to concentrate more on getting the bits in of us selfrighting. We had used our rear flipper a number of times and this was only shown once. After the fight the judges were asked about the scores and we had won by 1 point, which was given to us for style. We seem to have a thing with 1 point decisions

I think it was a bit quicker than 30 seconds for self righting. Mutes self rights have damaged other robots at live events and extreme, so in a way it could be classed as a form of attack, 100kg hammer

Without being there at the time I have no way to know how long it was imobile at the end (if it was), but like our heat final it also went on over 6 minutes and we lost by 1 point so the extra time seems to be common in close fights. They edited ours so that to me it looked like we were on top for most of the fight where it was infact the other way around so it doesnt suprise me that they edited it like that.

Adam, how much battery power was left at the end? We discharged the batteries after ours and found less that 300mAh left!!

Well that confirms Ed Hoppitts comment in another thread that we shouldnt believe what we see. I can now appreciate his comments about Battlebots being much purer to the sport. Thanks Ed

What do you mean by that, Jonno? Anyway Mute will be in Semi-Final 2 drawn against the winner of Heat P (seed for that heat is no.2 seed Firestorm 5)

Mark,

From what I remember there was about 0.5Ah left in each pack (1.5Ah total from the 9Ah pack). Basically they were almost flat. In a normal 5 minute roaming robots fight we normally draw about 1.5Ah out of each 3Ah pack

Jonno,

Cant see why we would want to change Mute - weve only just got the thing working properly... well almost

He means dont change it Tom it was looks great
wonder if Mute could selfright back into the arena after an oota now that would be good to see and what would JP say about that

What about the pit.....could Mute finally do what we expected of its forefarther Cassius in series 3, and use its powerful flipper to high tail it out of there?

What Im saying is....could Mute escape the pit if it fell down it onto its flipper?

[mute]

L-o, L-o, we have a wooty review

Mute could probably (note - probably) jump out of the pit but only if it landed upside down and if the nose cone was far enough away from the wall.

If the nose was too close to the wall it would probably try to smash the pit to bits...

I think its a long shot, but not impossible - it would simply come down to the way and where Mute landed.

I think the trajectory of Mutes selfrighting is not steep enough to get it out of the Robotwars arena. It might get out of the Roaming Robots one.
