I thought it was a little OTT , but there did seem to be life in the flipper at the end. I really like Bulldog though so watching it as kind of horrible, but you have to respect XT for brutalising a robot that is in their own words, built like a tank.

Bulldog breed are well know for coming off as big mouths with how tough their robot is. 6mm Ti this 5mm ti that, superior this so that is why they had to have a bit of humility dished to them by the disk of death.

Quite a few smiles when DTK got sent home like a girl.

A lot is edited out on television so tv-viewers wont know how long some situations last and whether the roboteers knew if their opponent is immobilised or not, but in the pits we see it all on monitors and some people go to view in the audience when the fight promises to be interesting... so it happened that after the fight between X-Terminator and Bulldog Breed much roboteers in the pits were frankly disgusted and some even upset about it. We expect fair-play, honoring it ourselves, and what we call in Dutch natrappen or after-kicking does -in my point of view- not add to the show and spectacle. Please remember that practically all roboteers have to pay for the (sometimes really expensive) parts themselves and that non-battle damage is not appreciated !

Shouldnt it be something like this?

Always suspiscious when a user with a strange name appears, and his first post is something highly controversial and going against the grain of the thread.

.... seems a very conversant newbie in the speak to me.

I think Phongo needs to apologise to the Bulldog Breed team. Im no linguistics expert, but seeing that makes me think they are being rude. I challenge you to put whatever youve built to fight Bulldog, the new hardox one - and see if you come out on top.

Good point made about the editing of fights. We have seen a few battles that seemed to lean towards one robot over the other. When they stitch it all together things are often portrayed a little differently.

I am sure we watched a few that seemed to last longer than 5 mins !!

Having already been dispatched home I did not see the XT v BB from the pits in the un-edited format.

I think a BattleBots style code of conduct would be a good idea. Seem to remember one robot hitting another after the victory hooter and getting severely b**l**ked afterwards !!

How about financial penalties for rule breaking ?

I remember seeing Mauler hit Nightmare after the hooter and all that happened was that the Nightmare guy was like Heyy! with a big grin on his face.

I have a feeling who that Man Utd guy from the 5s forums might be.

However the data protection act prevents me from saying he/hers name, as I am not 100% sure it is him/her.
