Typhoons Quilifying match was between us, a flipper(EWE2 I think) and a massive fibreglass robot with a disc (sorry carnt remember its name). Fight started we headed stright for typhoon and hit it before it started to spin up (Lucky us). The disc stopped and typoon wasnt going anywhere fast so we left it and went for the other disc. It got pushed into the side and the disc came off. Typoon moved a few inches and the disc started to spin ever so slightly so we rammed it again. Tried to turn it over but every time we went under it we slid to one side. Gary said that the inside was spinning instead of the disc after the fight. We the drove to the other side of the arena where both back wheels jammed up (1st and only time since) and we came to a stop. The flipper then got under typhoon and turned it over and was the last one running.
All 4 robots got through to the wars.
Another interesting point is that the MASSIVE fibreglass robot was orginially not allowed to run as it was 5cm over the width limit. In the pits they got an hacksaw and cut it down to size .
Ian, Im sure you were the flipper. Only one to flip typhoon. Can you confirm this?
Oh and well done Typhoon and Storm II for one of the best finals Ive seen.
