Congratulations Typhoon
Well done to both teams in the Final. Although the fighting was of a high quality the programme was not well thought out. The padding was stupid - as I tape the wars I only managed to put 25 minutes of actual footage together - the first half was nothing...
The break half-way through the final was a bit stupid - I know that there was an intermission but come off it...

Congratulations Typhoon
Hope you called the police Ed youve been robbed.

Congratulations Typhoon
I very much doubt the police will be able to do much, short of stealing the trophy from the Typhoon 2 team.

As much as I wanted to see a robot like Typhoon (spinner, unseeded, no srimech) win RW, I have to say that Storm II was robbed a bit. It had Typhoon nearly over several times, stopped its spinner from working toward the end of the fight (damage, anyone?) and all it took in return was a bit of superficial damage (which was far less serious than Typhoons weapon being broken). If the fight had gone on any longer, Storm II wouldve won it. Plus, Typhoon had a comparatively easy run to the final (the 1st and 5th rounds were the toughest it got, and it had a bit of luck in winning those) whereas Storm II had to fight 2 nasty spinners plus the top 2 seeds (top 3 seeds if THz had made the arena).
Still, congrats to them for fighting 6 battles where it could easily have been turned over, and winning each time. And of course being the first unseeded winner and the first winner without a srimech since Panic Attack.
BTW, I know I sound angry but Im not - I just think that Storm II deserved to win it more than Typhoon did. Its a great result (a new champion thats actually destructive - quite an achievement for the 7th war) and was certainly great to watch. A great way to end one of the greatest TV shows ever.
quotethe programme was not well thought out./quote
It was better thought out than any other episode - no spoilers before the commercial breaks! Now thats how it should be done.

Congratulations Typhoon
I agree with you total Stephen. I was shocked when I heard the decision - the expression on Eds face was highly understandable. Stopping a weapon should count against any robot especially one that is so reliant upon its weapon working. I am not bitter far from it - if truth be known I was supporting Typhoon before the fight - but the result did not quite cut it with me.
