Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Hey....isn't this a surprise?
Heaven knows how I found my way back here. I probably wouldn't have returned, except I recently had an interesting idea, based on another TV gameshow I enjoy watching.
The thing is, I feel like writing again. The problem is, everything I end up doing with vapourbots doesn't go well....and really, this time I am determined to do this...the last retirement special, I had little motivation.
ROBOT WARS - THE LEGENDS SPECIAL
The rules are simple. What I'd like is for 8 people to enter eight robots. But there are a few rules.
1 - The robots must have competed in the UK series at some point. (So C.V., for example, is a no-no)
2 - They must have a form beyond the new weight limit. (So Comengetorix would be allowed, but not Milly-Ann Bug)
3 - The most important rule of all....NO Semi-Finalists up. All the robots must have lost in their heats and never progressed past them in any form (so, for example, no picking Gemini, because Mace got through to the semi finals)
I can't admit to having a preference as to what sort of robots are picked. As a recommendation...
-Maybe robots that had bad misfortune in the UK competition.
-Some of the more notable robots....I.E. the funny ones.
-Whilst there is nothing to stop you guys entering side tournament winners (Diotoir, Kan Opener, etc)....try to keep them to a minimum.
And that's about it. Sorry it's not a vapourbot tournie, but....well, I wanna see how it goes. :)

Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Stress the rules again....eight robots each, and they have to have been in RW. So whilst I can't use Hellbent 2, I can use the original. ^^
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Guess who else is back? Just for this, though. :proud:
Chris, I really do hope this goes well for you. With the long summer holidays ahead, I think I have plenty of time to do something here.
Corkscrew II
Roobarb
SMIDSY
Araknia
Kat III
Tetanus Booster
Iron Awe 2.1
Thor
As far as I know, none of them have progressed beyond the Heat Final. Really hope it goes well, Chris. Just a few questions?
How does the format go? (I guess with 64 robots, the format will be eight heats similar the S6/S7 structure)
Are there any special events?
Good luck :)
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Hope my list is ok?
Hellbent
Barry
Eubank the Mouse
Stealth
Bumblebot
Weeliwako
Hammerhead
Shark Attack
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Rob - Sorry, only Hellbent would be valid. The other 7 never had an Extreme 1+ form.
Enee - To answer your questions...
1 - Yeah, pretty much.
2 - This is a special event of sorts.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Heres my ist of bots hoping to get in
Hefty (Just for the hell of it :wink: )
Slicer? (Are dutch ones allowed?)
Anorakaphobia
Tomohawk
IG-88
Agent orange
Hydra
General Cranage 2
If im not allowed Slicer, then replace it with Trax :mrgreen:
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Don't want to sound picky, because I am, but:
Hefty, Anorakaphobia and Agent Orange were within the original weight limit for Robot Wars (80kg), and I think Chris said only robots after the new 100kg limit were allowed.
Just saying :)
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Thanks for pointing that mate
Ok to replace them
Robochicken
Wolverine
Das Gapeck (If not allowed, i choose Lighting)
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
They work...if it's OK, I'll be using the UK robots. It's just neither Slicer or Das Gepack were in the main UK competition, s'all. ^^
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
I'll have a go at this...
1. Big Nipper
2. Fluffy
3. The Steel Avenger
4. 259
5. Diotoir
6. Crushtacean
7. The Alien
8. Revenge of Trouble & Strife
That was difficult! Any good? :)
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Let's see.
Is:
1. Infernal Contraption
2. Tsunami
3. G.B.H. 2
4. Reptirron the Second
5. Hard
6. Gyrobot
7. Ripper
8. Trax
Good to go?
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
That's fine, thank you. :)
So, so far....
1 - Corkscrew 2
2 - Roobarb
3 - S.M.I.D.S.Y.
4 - Araknia
5 - Kat 3
6 - Tetanus Booster
7 - Iron Awe 2.1
8 - Thor
9 - Tomohawk
10 - IG-88
11 - Hydra
12 - General Carnage 2
13 - Trax
14 - Robochicken
15 - Lightning
16 - Wolverine
17 - Big Nipper
18 - Fluffy
19 - The Steel Avenger
20 - 259
21 - Diotoir
22 - Crushtacean
23 - The Alien
24 - Revenge of Trouble & Strife
Good work so far. Let's see if we can keep this up. And don't be afraid to pick some of the less successful robots, those that never won a battle, and so on. ^^
Helloher - 5 of those are fine, but G.B.H. 2 must be excluded because the original G.B.H. was a semi-finalist, and Trax has already been chosen. Tsunami, I'm unsure about because of its success rate in the German competition...we could include it, possibly.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
In that case...
How about:
1. Infernal Contraption
2. Tsunami
3. Cedric Slammer
4. Reptirron the Second
5. Hard
6. Gyrobot
7. Ripper
8. Zorro
And if Tsunami isn't allowed, then Mega Hurts
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Cedric Slammer and Zorro will do nicely. I'll have a think about Tsunami.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Hey Chris. Just putting in my replacement for Slicer
Would 259 suffice?
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special

-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Oh right. How dumb of me that i forgot. :)
Anyways this will be great
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Actually, can I swap IC for Mega Hurts?
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
You can if you want to...I hope you don't mind though that it's the L.T. version.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
I'll give this a try...
1) Aggrobot
2) Killer Carrot 2
3) Supernova
4) Reactor 2
5) Crushtacean
6) The Alien
7) Sir Chromalot
8) Suicidal Tendencies
I think all of those aren't taken, just notify me if they are if they're ineligible for some other reason :)
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Crushtacean and The Alien are both taken, but everyone else is fine.
If you wanted, you could take Infernal Contraption as one of your choices, since Helloher changed it.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Where is Kody and Martijn? I haven't seen them around lately.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Marti is very much around, he's preoccupied with the construction of his featherweight and the small matter of the World Cup at the moment :P
Don't know about Kody, his recent personal circumstances have been...odd to say the least
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Yeah okay, I like Infernal Contraption so I'll take that... and Kronic 2 if that's okay?
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Thanks for that info, Joey :)
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Kronic is fine, although it'll have to be the S7 version, thus Kronic the Wedgehog. Only for consistancy, you understand. ^^
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
yeah that's fine lol I forgot it got it's old name back.

Now, obviously I still wish to wait, but if no one else turns up within the next few days, does anyone mind if I fill the gaps up?
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
Looks like a good lineup, Chris. It would be a shame if you had to fill in the spots yourself. I'm wondering where everyone is? Kody and Martijn are somewhere. There are three spots left, so maybe Joey? If hasn't entered already?
Just suggesting. I've always liked your competitions, Chris. I think real robots suit you well. The Super Seeds Championships were great.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
I'd enter, but I really can't think of anything suitable for this, lol
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
My no cents: Wikipedia has a list of all the robots that fought in UK RW. There is also a special Wikipedia about Robot Wars. Endless picks of robots there
Seriously, I have no cents left :proud:
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
I'll tell you what. I'll wait until Wednesday, and if no one else has signed up, I'll cut the line-up from 64 to 48 and add my own hand-picked team.
-
Re: Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special
