It was a real shame for Iron Awe that they picked a puddle of kilalots oil to park in at the start. They were trying to hit Typhoon before it had spun up. But no traction at the start and one wheel skidding all the way through so they were dead in the water. Great win by Typhoon and TAN though.

By the way...in the Special Event, Im sure Pearce called 13 Black the number 13 seed...

Yeah, I heard that gaff too.
Well Done Typnoon. They need to get the FW doing that now :)

Yes.
Brillant heat, shame Typhoon wasnt spinning in round 1, that would have been great :)

Im pretty sure Bigger Brothers OOTA from Iron-Awe is due to Shunt, Bigger Brother tried to move forward, found that big lump in the way and Iron-Awe got into position.
Im not taking away from Iron Awes driving, they saw a chance and took it, to get a robot OOTA takes good timing and awareness of what your flipper can do. I just dont think Bigger Brother would have been OOTA if not for Shunt who Joe was quite right in blaming.
Typhoon shocked me, they seem to be the new Hypnodisc, thing is Hypnodisc also dominated their first year but also had no SRIMECH, well have to see how that goes.

Typhoon spinning whilst inverted should create enough imbalence to right itself. To help, a kind of umbrella of poles that stops the bot from being completely on its side. See Megabite or Rambite, US robots, for a demonstration.
I know the removable link is located in the flag, but this could be worked into a possible revised design...

Just a thought. Had Bigger Brother got through, would Typhoon have demolished it? We saw BB take a helluva beating from Hypnodisc and come away the winners thanks to the pit, what is Typhoons power compared to Hypnodisc?
Cant say anything...military secret?

From what Ive been reading up, Typhoon is way way wayyyy more powerful than Hypnodisc.

Well, because Typhoon is a full body spinner, Id say that Bigger Brother wouldnt have been able to pit it.
Naughty Shunt ;)
