beating typhoon is easy (no... hear me out!)

have a fast disk with 2 sharp cutting teeth se 2 inches from the top of typhoon. The teeth need to be long enough to hit his dome without his teeth hitting you, so get the tape measure out.

Then, spin up, and chop his dome off.... nice

wont work with any other robot but typhoon, but hey, there you go.

otherwise, show up with an army cadet uniform, they will be more interested in smashing you to bits than the robot.

Already had that idea james

even if the dome goes, we could still keep going (with typhoon 2 anyways)

It would look bloody good though lol

Whatever is dropped from the drop zone is never enough to go through a plywood floor tile. Which is why the heavy bits of washing machines are taken out first.

So that railway track - was it not really railway track? Coz thats HEAVY stuff, and landing on end (assuming it missed the bot) - surely thatd go through plywood?

I imagine it probably was real railway track.

The best way of stopping Typhoon would be to
smash its wheels up.
I believe Code Black did this to Ziggo in Battlebots 5.
Code Black has a Hazard style spinning bar that is
set underneath the bot and is very near the ground
so it got under Ziggo and smashed its wheels up.

How would you do that without your robot getting damaged?

best way to beat Typhoon 2? ask Ewe 2 or Kan Opener

Ive designed the front of Tanto espesially for big bad spinners

Hmmm.... If TAN could get its jaws around Typhoon 2 then it might well be able to survive the impacts as it rattles around inside them, then push it into the pit.

TAN was builded to cope with horizontal spinners. But the forces Typhoon2 displays are way over the things we calculated. Maybe that TAN survives, but the impact between the 2 machines will be brutal.

Maybe in Series 12?

i would actually be interested to take on TAN and see if the hardox armour could withstand a blow when were at 900 rpm (it was only around the 600 mark max against iron awe). It would be an interesting battle, forget series 12, what about 8?

Any way that you could improve on the spin up time, Gary?
