Congratulations Typhoon
Looked like some internal chassis members came out. Apart from that it seemed in perfect working order at the end.
Am I mistaken in thinking that Typhoons weapon motor occasionally stalls, but can be restarted?
Congratulations to both teams, to build machines that are so completely reliable and so very effective at what they do is a major achievement.
Also well-done to BOTH drivers, that was a breath-taking fight!

Typoon has an on-board 1hp engine starter motor.

I heared about a fight in the grand final (THE final I think it was) that was recorded on two days. Typhoon had smashed the arenaside wall, then the weapon stopped working and then the fight was stopped to repair the arena. Then the next day when the arena was fixed, the Typhoon boys insisted on repairing their weapon before going on with the bout. The crew wanted them to go on as they had stopped, but as the Typhoon guys wouldnt budge they had no choice but to let them repair the weapon of Typhoon.
Ive heared this from various Dutch roboteers who were there. As I couldnt be sure if it were the first or second fight of Typhoon in the grand Final I phrased the first sentence this way.

Well Done Typhoon, to be honest it could have gone either way, what a great way to end the best series of Robot Wars ever

From what I can tell from just watching the show, Typhoon needs to be started up like a car. Only instead of keys theres a yellow button on Garys remote, and looking at the way he kept pressing it they were having trouble getting it started which is why Typhoon wasnt spinning for long periods of time.
...Of course thats just the impression I got from a couple of clips. Probably wrong:)

May I be the 16th to whole heartedly congratulate you on that superb triumph. Controversial maybe, but extremely well-deserved

Nope, didnt like that decision at all. Storm were all over that fight, and were basically taking damage as they came in- inevitable given the nature of Typhoons weapon- rather than coming under attack from Typhoon as such, which was very defensive all through. The attitudes of the two teams after the fight said it all really. Gary, to his credit, wasnt claiming a win, and didnt look overjoyed with the situation...
I was also a bit perplexed about the ruling to allow Typhoon to run up to full speed on the restarts after the arena was clobbered. If the wall hadnt been damaged, the impact wouldve slowed them right down, surely?
Ach well, a good fight to watch anyway, and full credit to Gary and the team for fielding such a committed design, and getting so far. Some very clever driving all through the tournament too. Still shouldve gone Storms way though. My wife couldnt believe it either!

Except now its in the open hell probably be making lots of comments followed by a :wink:, I just KNOW it:proud:
...Still, at least Stuart of team Mammoth fame will have a drinking partner for whenever he feels like having a good moan about blue and white spinning cones:)
