Iron Awe

That. Flipper. Is. Iron. Awe. Some. :proud:

Merlin, Terrorhurtz, Turbulence, Dantomkia, even Kronic lost to him.

They certainly have come a LONG way from Robot Wars. :)

Comment?

Most memorable to me was them in Robotwars getting their robot smashed to bits, and after 2 days they were back on the set with their robot looking like new.

I was mega impressed with that.

I seem to remember it was the following day after we were smashed up by Typhoon that we were back on competing in the Axe - Attack! We had to weld a complete new front end on the robot and do a fairly significant repair job elsewhere, but there was plenty of gaffer tape on the shell holding it together!

As for the current robot Iron-Awe 5 has been doing really well winning its last three events and loads of O.O.T.As :)

It might very well have been the next day. I think you guys didnt get much sleep that night.

I just watched videos of Iron-Awe 5 on YouTube. I love how when it misses a flip, it looks like its going to flip itself but it doesnt. :)

its going to be tuff to beat iron awe at uk champs

Turbulences nemisis. Good machine.

What also impressed me was how, despite one of their drive motors failing, they STILL managed to flip Kronic OOTA. :)

I think that was Daves bad driving more than anything!

One more thing that impressed me was how the 3mm hardox was able to stand up to the blows from Terrorhurtzs axe so many times. IIRC Dantomkia had hardox armour in RW Ex 2 and it got hammered in by THz. Correct me if I have made an oopsy. :)

Kody the big difference there is that Thz probably had the axe turned right up to near max pressure at RW. I know he rarely does at live events.

Ah, that would be why, then.

I think Ed is right. I know THZ has bent the flipper on IA3 before and that was Hardox. We do have an Anti-THZ top to protect the flipper but we didnt have a chance to fit it at Leicester as we went straight into the Melee from the previous fight

got to be ranked no1. doing so well and the trendy robot to beat at the moment too.

If he did have it at max all the time, a) it would mean everyone has to rebuild their robots every other week and b) becasue Thz chassis wouldnt take the continual punishment.

But arent I right in thinking that THZ is having a new, stronger chassis replacing the old one, so now, maybe they could open the taps...:uhoh:

I doubt that they will. Remember that there are not that many live heavyweight robots out there, and having yours destroyed or bent out of shape every single time just takes too much out of these machines and runs up the costs for the roboteers. On the live circuit Team Hurz deliberatly keep the pressure down so we can keep as many robots running as we can. But even on 6 bars that axe is very formidable.

They dont need to prove anything, we know their axe is powerfull.

Just like we all know Iron Awe is a force to be reckoned with.

Just posted the Axe Attack fight on You Tube.

You can see the paint on the flipper was still wet when we went into the arena!

Also uploaded unedited versions of our series 4 battles that Mentorn gave us when we complained that they edited too much of the fight out!

Will Iron Awe compete in RoboGames combat? Id like to see that. :)

Hi Kody, unfortunately not, its just not feasible.

Hey Rob and Gillbert

Heres another video I uploaded for U, the fight U had with The Saint, Ripper & Scorpion at Doncaster 07

I say congrats to Team Iron-Awe for winning the UK Champs, and beating Terrorhurtz, Hortron, Big Nipper and Dantomkia to get the award. Thats 5 trophies this year, and 6 trophies since it was built last year. That is quite a large achievement.

Well done, and good luck on getting a new cabinet to contain the even more trophies youre going to win in the future :proud:

Where can I find a picture of Iron Awe 6?
