Gary, were you still using the same tips as when we meat as you cut into our Ti (same as BB) by 3mm, on a panel side not an edge, and had only just got spinning. Also hit a wheel but only lost a small chuck. At full speed I think its possible to (hope it cant) get through the 10mm even if the bolts hold. Also the plate you hit only had 4x M6 bolts and these held due to the adjcent plates overlapping.

As an expert on what happens when strong armour meets Gary and Typhoon, trust me BB got out just in time

That drop zone was evil. I have a piece of railway track at home - only about 20 long and I can *just about* carry it one handed as long as I change hands often. There were about four pieces in the drop zone that looked about 2 or 3 feet long each. Im not surprised it did some damage. Usually its not that bad (Im always surprised by the complete disintegration of cookers and relative intactness of the victim) but I think the tracks was a step too far.

The one major worry i have with Typhoon now assuming they can stay at full speed and not get flipped is the ping effect if the pit is open. Gary would have to be very careful near the pit methinks.

Yup, having watched my video of the heat this morning I was a bit surprised that the flippers didnt activate the pit sooner against Typhoon. Garys always going to have driving problems, by the nature of the beast, so a manoeuverable and solid opponent has a sporting chance of pinging them either into the pit or into a CPZ (ideally *behind* a house robot, or they might incapacitate the HR instead...)
Also thought it was very sporting of Ian not to pick on Typhoon in the first heat.
Still, well done Gary! So much for all the debate about whether BB would hold up against Typhoon!
I still think Storm2 might have them, if they get that far, though (Ive not reexamined the draw).

Mark we changed nothing to the outside after the qualifier.
Chris we had contemplated that and i just made a booboo and hit iron awe next to the pit on the wrong side and gave my team mates a heart attack :)
Typhoon 2 is actually very easy to control and i wouldve been able to keep up a longer dodging match with BB however URO rode up the side of the cone and turned the flag so that it pointed to the side, makes things slightly harder!
*notices stuart thinking about a device to turn typhoon cdts flag*

Would I? Oh and well done Gary for pointing out that Typhoon Cadet has nothing to do with you and was made by the girls.....
....did you know what was coming or not?

Just a question, but is it hard to tell the front, left, right and back of Typhoon when driving it?

I believe the flag on top points in the direction its facing - unless someone knocks it.

ye it always points forwards and i dont actually look at the robot itself. To me its just the flag that im driving hense why it gets a bit harder when the flag points to the right and you are trying to move forward!
