  • OMG THIS REVIEW IS TEH WOOT!!!

    Melee 1

    Metallis never got going as whatever its srimech was... Didnt work. Ming Dienasty also never got going at the start, which probaby explains why the judges decided to get rid of it. Drills can be effective weapons, just not the way weve seen them used thus far.

    Melee 2

    Megahurts LT was great... A comedy theme built into a fully working robot... Shame it broke down Nice to see Revolution back and much improved. I was expecting the combine harvester to reutn, but thankfully it didnt St aggro was interesting. A bit like WBC would be if it was a lot smaller. The Scrapper... Never saw what it could do. Good fight.

    Crusher Crunch Up

    I thought this fight was extremely boring. A couple of decent attacks, and just about everyone was broken at the end. Mantis might have won, but they did so by simply outlasting the others. At least I dont remember it crunching anything.

    St Aggro vs Scraptosaur

    Scraptosaur was well on top for most of the fight. St. Aggro couldnt get under, and was being flipped every which way but lose. But the problem was the didnt need to self right, so when Scraptosaur ran out of gas, St Aggro still had plenty left, and just needed one attack. One attack they managed to get, and so they won.

    Revolution vs Ceros

    Gotta hate them removable links. What looked like being a good ight in the making was ruined because of one. Still, there was some nice house robot attacking which almost made up for it Mentorn, if youre reading, show more house robot attacking!

    St Aggro vs Ceros

    This looked like being over quickly when Ceros couldnt self right, but thankfully Refbot intervened in agood way for once, and it soon picked up. Both robots took turns at being on top, and St Aggro looked dead and buried when Matilda broke its wheel. Still Ceros was propped up and their flipped seemed broken/exausted so St Aggro won. Fight of the night for me.

    St Aggro did look very good... Still, according to Tom Brisbournes wall chart theyve got X-Terminator next. I think those wheels will be a problem

    These titles are getting worse and worse

    It was a good heat, Ming DieNasty was pants. Did anyone noticed that St Aggro looks a lot like wheely big cheese?

    Better draw for the crushers thing

        I was thinking that tom as i was watching it
        i dont think ming 3 could stay with razor and tiberous.
        as ming ever been a crusher i know it had one but did it ever use it. And the new Dienasty looks to me as they have gone back to s4 with the drill

          ming have two robots in (Dienasty and Zorro). They are both based on the Robots R Us Kit robots, i think the main reason for them entering was to get exposure for the robots (to help sales!).

          I dont think its right that they were given a seeding, there are alot better robots that deserve it. They should have been just given one special places in the series.

            Seeds seem to be given to teams, not robots, baed on how far they get in previous competitions. Im ok with this as (generally) a successful team will produce a decent new machine, and, well, if they produce a turkey they lose their seeding quite, quite quickly.

              Cant see that perfomance doing sales any good.
              It would in my opinion that they should have made a bot that would be competative to boost sales.
              just like rally cars it is like a shop window

                I have to admit I suspect they were less than pleased with the machines TV debuet. But its probably given them what they needed - As seen on TV.

                Makes you wonder, were not allowed to enter robots that look like commercial products (ie you couldnt get sponsorship by Sony and enter a robot that looked like a PS2). What happens when the robot design itself is the commercial product..... wheres the difference ?

                One to mull over perhaps...

                          Or just have look at http://www.robotsrus.co.ukwww.robotsrus.co.uk - they look quite good, could be a good option if you have the cash but not the mechanical ability to build a heavyweight.

                          Like the thread title Frank - very l33t
