Is this even worth fighting for?
Oh b****r! Seems like I started WW3.......
I agree with Paul as far as competing is concerned.
Razer was one of the best bots in the UK but unless they continue to compete with the new breed of bots, you cannot unfortuantely say they are still the best.
As for the rest against Razer, I just dont know - but there is a solution.....
Team Razer - the exhibition circuit is fine - it pays the rent (just) but for once get off your asses and fight goddammit!
There - I didnt even shout did I

I went to robotwars S7 as well... The only harm being that our bot got squished...:)

Thats the nature of the game Ewan, but youll get used to it after a while. Your wallet wont though...
I dont care whether Razer should have defended its title or not, they have stated elsewhere on the other forum why not and as far as I know it was due to obligations elsewhere that had to be honoured. They had the tough choice: participating in the sport or carrying out the obligations that come with celebrity status. Which will last longer ? I honestly dont know.
So there is no point in continuing to whine about Razer should have this and Razer should have that. As the Worldchampionship progresses you will witness something far more brutal than nip and win. Your innocent eyes will be battered by the gruesome reality of BATTLE.

unfortunatly, Razer could have fought, the other obligations came about once the decision not to fight was made.
At the end of the day, the reasons for Razer not being there have been discussed at length, and as many people dislike Razer so much, it doesnt matter what the real reasons were, people will always gossip.
From my point of view, I do not always agree with the Razer teams decisions, but I respect them as they are the uks most successful robot team, and I am not. I think they should have been at S7, but its not my livelyhood on the line.
As to the world champ vs world champ.....
I think Razer has got it, and if (as I can hear it already) people want to argue about it, dont do it here, e-mail me at
Blahblahblah@notlistening.com :)

So why should they bother competing if people think the sun shines out of their behinds just because they were successful at some point in history?
Consign them to history and lets get on with the real world

assuming of course they never return, which they might.

Oh dear didnt mean to start an argument!
I really dont know who won this years world champs so I cant reliably say whether Razer would beat them or not, but I am sure that the new champ is excellent. Im not criticising anyone else but just laying further claim that Razer is great. Would it win against todays best? Until we see it happen, who knows? :)

razer would easily beat this years champ:)

George, please dont think that you started anything but unless Razer actually participates against the level of competition around at the moment no one will ever know. My criticisms about Razer are not personal - Ive never met Ian or Simon but I would repeat anything Ive said to them if I did. I do think that both Razer & Warhead are engineered with a designers mind towards aesthetics as well as combat (I commend them for that) but the question of wholl win? Who knows. Its just whoevers better on the day as anything can happen. Perhaps the only way that itll be decided is by staring each other out :)
