Review + woot = wooty review

Melee 1

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome one and all... To the Atomic show! Or thats how it seemed anyway. Cygnus flipped up on to the arena wall and semmingly unable to self right, Terror Turtle thrown OOTA, SMIDSY thrown around until it broke down, and was pitted... atomic was the only mobile competitor, and I think thats the first time weve seen that happen. One robot taking out all the others that is.

Melee 2

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Hellbent show! Or thats how it seemed anyway. Mean Streak and Arachnia both flipped and axed into submission, I Bot One Beta never seemed to get going... Impressive stuff. Im slightly dubious this was Hellbents first fight though. Afterall, how else did they qualify? Anyway, fight of the night for me.

World champs qualifiers

Erm... It all went to plan for Crushtashian is all I can say. Still a very strong looking machine.

SMIDSY vs Mean Streak

Mean Streak got a good attack on the side of SMIDSY, but from there SMIDSY took over and shoved Mean Streak everywhere. Mean Streak threatened to come back a couple of times, but it just never happened.

Atomic vs Hellbent

At first I thought atomic was having trouble getting under Hellbent, but a few attacks and it was all over, Hellbent flying OOTA.

SMIDSY vs Atomic

SMIDSY running around prolonged the fight, but they couldnt seem to get in a decent attack, and out they went.

Pierce watch

Apparently Atomic still has a spike, nevermind the fact they didnt mention, or even use it.

By the way...

Is it me, or is Atomic the first robot to complete a grand slam of an OOTA in every fight?

Also apparently Atomic lost to Chaos in series 3 and Hypno-disc in series 4.

Atomic is looking very, very strong! They made a remark about not liking spinners, but I suspect the spinners will be equally wary of their control and reliability.

Crushtacean looks like a decent entry still, if a little lacklustre compared to some of the newer machines. I guess it could do well.

We met the Hellbent team 1st in the sumo event at Technogames 2002.

I was impressed with the quality of machining and engineering on their machine then.

This new one tonight looked nice as well.

afaik Gravity did an OOTA on every fight too.

No, they didnt throw Lightning OOTA.

Xt threw almost everyone OOTA

Actually, one in every fight...

XT only got Killer Carrot and Tsunami out of the arena.

Tsunami got both robots out in round 1.

Nop0e, Gravity didnt Grandslam. If Id have done that, they would have ceased the fight immediatly and I wouldnt have been able to go after the housebots.

Yeah i totally wrong. I watched the recording agin and i was wrong. It was Tsunami who got both robots in teh first fight OOTA
sorry all

Mind you, heres a semi-final list of who will be fighting who

Semi-Final 1
M2 (Heat A) Vs Winner of Heat N
Dantomkia (Heat C) Vs Gravity (Heat D)
X-Terminator Vs Winner of Heat H (thats next)
Winner of Heat K Vs Winner of Heat M

Semi-Final 2
Winner of Heat P Vs Winner of Heat L
Winner of Heat I Vs Grim Reaper (Heat B)
Winner of Heat J Vs Winner of Heat O
Tornado (Heat E) Vs Atomic (Heat G) (Id be suprised if Atomic beat Tornado)

Are you sure thats right Tom? AFAIK, theyve never put robots from the first half in with robots from the seond half before.

Series 3 frank

Heat E winner against Heat 16 winner

Course Im right, Frank. A friend of mine has a A1-size wallchart.

lucky him, i want a wall chart :sad:

Gary, my friend, to get the wall chart, you have to buy a copy of the Robot Wars Series 7 guide

I sit corrected :)

Tom - your semi final Listsings are all wrong mate.
I can tell you now - that there wrong as i know which robots fight each other, and that listing is wrong. Re think it :)

I dont think telling you who fights who in the semi final is a spoiler - but just to make sure, i wont say.

Mr Stu

Oh i see what you have done. Your 99% right. Just Remember that Heat A and E were swaped around mate. But still - hmm.
I know that M2 does NOT fight the winner of Heat N.

Mr Stu

So does that mean itll be M2 vs Atomic?

I would think so.
