    Predictions?

    Well I think the winner will either be Dantomkia, Bigger Brother or Behemoth. Least likely to win would be Panic Attack (Ive nothing against them, I just think they wont survive against other flippers)

      Predictions?

      Now, I dont as yet know the line up, I heard its done like a Series 7 heat, so heres what I think.

      Behemoth
      This robot has a good chance of winning. I missed the annihilator/HRR, so I dont know how well it did, but I heard it was still alive at the end. Ill catch it next time. Anyways, unless their stupid link falls out again, they could do very well. The only problem could be the Srimech failing again.

      Bigger Brother
      After their performance last time in the All-Stars, Bigger Brother could do very well. In fact, they are one of my favourites to win. Low ground clearance AND a powerful flipper could give them that edge. The only problem is, what if the other robots gang up on him?

      Dantomkia
      Another favourite to win this all-stars. And of course, theyve fixed all the problems that happened last time (reliability, batteries dieing, power link falling out), could do well unless that high(ish) ground clearance is noticed.

      Firestorm
      Youd expect me to go for them, wouldnt you? It is, indeed a good robot, but with all those back hinged flippers, it could have a problem. It may do well, and it doesnt have Razer to worry about, but I dont trust it to do well

      Kat 3
      Like the Colour, like the outfits, like the axe, like the team (purr), hate the chances Im afraid.

      King B Powerworks
      Have they recovered from their IG88 attack? I dont think so, and they may lose early if they dont stay away from trouble. Or Panic Attack. Or Pussycat. How dare you copy them!!!

      Panic Attack
      Again, youd expect me to go for them. I heard they fight Firestorm in the first round, and I know the result, but I wont spill the beans. However, without a srimech, and with a different driver, I dont fancy their chances.

      Pussycat
      This would outshine Kat 3 any day. That blade isnt as effective as it used to be I fear, and I think their time is nearly up. Sorry.

            What a lot of colourful robots! And lots of chunky bits for Pussycat to sink her blades into

              Maybe, but, like I said, I have yet to see the HRR. Please read it.

              And sorry, but Pussycat is rather old now

                It still works :-) Dont dismiss it- stu drives it like its a natural extension of his body.

                  And she is one of the very few robots who are able to inflict serious damage upon Tough As Nails (happened on a live event...)!

                    I suspect most robots could damage TaN (or anything else) given long enough and a bit of thinking time. Nonetheless, Im intrigued - what did PC do to it?

                    My only live experience of TaN was it not running at last years Debenham, which was a great shame - my sympathy for the wasted travel tickets. The Dutch roboteers made an impression with the Little Chef on the A12, though (I went in on the way back, said where Id been [while scrounging a pull-back toy] and got told theyd been in).

                      Predictions?

                      It was at Deb, i gave Tan 3 big whacks at their behind after flying over the top of their claws, turned around and gave em 2 big whats of the big huge ram at the back. Mario tells me they had to take the ram apart from re weld parts etc, the ram ceased to work again at Deb right Babs? Not sure.

                      Drives her like a natural extension of his body - hmmm one way of putting it. Put the name of the bot with ur sentance and well - hmmm - not going any further.

                      Just wait till Sunday, i dont drive her that bad :sad:

                        Stu, never again can you accuse me of being dirty minded.

                          Perhaps people are so keen to write off Pussycat because of its poor performance in series 7, and that it was (recently) beaten by...Chompalot!!! And seeing it chucked out of the arena in Extreme 2 certainly didnt help, but who knows, they could do well, cos a good design can work for a long long time, just look at Biohazard and Razer.

                            Stu has been having practice, as every young man with an inquisitive mind, active fantasy and two strong hands should in the presence of a joystick.

                              The damage Pussycat did to TAN was on the ram.
                              a few scratches in the 6mm thick part, but on the place I milled away 3mm, to keep the weight in chech, 2 dents so deep the ram had troubles passing by. I repaired those by welding the dents,and polishing the parts on the inside so the piston can pass by again.
                              After this we still are looking to gain a kilo, so we can weld a hardox plate to it.

                              Andrew, TAN wasnt running in Deb/bentwaters due arial/recievertroubles.
