Combat Robot Hall of Fame - nominations 2011

In August of odd-numbered years the Combat Robot Hall of Fame opens for nomination of new members. Yes, I'm a few days early this time, but I thought I'd best get to it while I had a bit of free time.

Entry into the Hall is based on popular vote from the robot community. Notice of open nomination is placed on robot combat discussion forums in the UK and US. Robots considered for nomination should be evaluated on:

• Dominating success in combat

• Pioneering or perfecting influential designs

• Having great fan or entertainment appeal, or

• Otherwise making a lasting impact on the sport

UK robots 'Envy', 'Iron Awe 5', and 'TerrorHurtz' were elected to the Hall in 2009, with 'Beauty 2' coming close and achieving 'honorable mention' status. Robots listed as 'honorable mention' remain eligible for promotion to full member status

You may nominate as many robots as you wish on your ballot, but please do cast only a single ballot. Send your nominations to: sheeppaper@gmail.com by 8 AM GMT on August 11th, 2011.

Robots appearing on at least 50% of the ballots received will be admitted to the Hall. Robots appearing on between 25% and 50% of the ballots will receive honorable mention. Both active and 'retired' robots are eligible. Talk it over here on the forum as much as you like, but only ballots emailed to the above address will be counted.

Tiny Toon, Maelstrom & Kronic for me.

Good chatter here on the forum, but only a few more days to vote. Send them in, please!

Kronic 8) 2005 UK Champion, 2010 & 2011 UK Annihilator Champion. Also Big Nipper should be in there.

I wısh to add kronıc, bıg nıpper and merlın to ıt :-)

Team Toon have had a discussion and have come up with:

Beauty 2 ( 2 x UK Champion, 1 x Euro Champion, Tag Team Champion )
Kronic ( 1 x UK Champion, 2 x Annihilator Champion )
Tiny Toon ( 1 x UK Champion, 2 x Annihilator Champion, 1 x Rebel Robots Champion )
Maelstrom ( A Robot Wars veteran that is unique with a double sided flipper and is a consistant event Champion that entertains )
Big Nipper ( A UK Champion which is a crowd pleaser with its design )


Close but didnt quite make it:

Puck ( As it beat Ripper and Maelstrom)
Ripper ( A very good robot that has just about made it, now for a consistant year )
Saint ( Very entertaining all of the time )
Thor ( A real crowd pleaser )

Because of the interest from both audiences/fans and competitors alike as well as all the miniature versions he has spawned recently I think Eric deserves itthe miniature versions he has spawned recently I think Eric deserves it :lol:

Was there a bit of an echo in the room when you were typing there Tony? :P

:lol: I typed it in on my phone then the page crashed and deleted the last bit of text when I put the laughing guy in, or so I though :?

I agree with Liam, Ripper, Maelstrom, Thor, Toxic 2 & Kronic

I think Anticide should definitely be in there, it's the most successful 150g robot ever and has been revolutionary in virtually every aspect of its design since 2009 :) I think I may have nominated 101 too, out of favouritism...hehe

Voting is over and the votes have been counted. More than 40 individual robots received at least one vote, and the Hall of Fame has two new full members and four new honorable mentions.

Congratulations to new members 'Professor Chaos' and 'The Master', and to 'Anticide', 'Gyrobot', 'Kronic', and 'Warrior SKF' for their honorable mention.
