Terrorhurtz - Is it or Isnt It
Assuming Ive got my facts right.....John will be seen arriving at filming with THz but when *shock* his machine isnt ready to fight he will be told that he cant take part in the competition and the simply forefits his place in the competition. Theres no replacement to my knowledge - its as if he got knocked out before the first mele.

john turned up on the same day as us for qualifying but his machine was not ready.however i think someone with johns ability would have had it running for the main event and i think it was a bit unfair Hope he comes back as it is a very good machine

Anybody know how far THz was away from being ready ?
If it was just assembly - would have thought he could have done it in the car park. If he needed a bit of construction as well - then the action was correct :sad:

Put it this way Kevin, Johns still not finished it. He estimated there was still weeks worth of work to do on it. He battled on, but sadly to no avail.

If hes anything like the rest of us, theres probably plenty of other jobs contending for that weeks work.
Least I can sort my clutch out and get rid of the worm on my desktop PC now WITW is cancelled.

Didnt they have sufficient time to put in a replacement? I think I recall hearing a similar case with Dominator 2, who suffered from a broken base and relinquished its seeding to Spawn Again.

It may not have made such so-called good TV. A lot of things were decided upon behind the scenes in that show - and not just in Series 7. Certain decisions were made for the sake of what they thought made good TV rather than for competative sport.

What I dont get is why didnt they do with Terrorhurtz what they did with Typhoon in the World Championships? You know, show the line-up, then red-out Terrorhurtzs name and cut to the scene that was eventually shown, explaining what THs problem was, THEN going to the fight with the remaining three robots?
Really Heat B was the weakest of the S7 shows. Extremely dodgy Judges decisions, the treatment of Terrorhurtz, the line-up guys were incapable of figuring who lost the second battle (they knocked out Gyrobot instead of KillerKat) and JP even mis-pronounced a robots name to something totally different (Cheese 2? It doesnt even look like a piece of cheese!).
