Robotic Combat Hall of Fame

[malivoirec]

Today I decided to Look around the web and I noticed that almost every sport that involves combat has a hall of fame or some list of legends so I thought why not robotic combat?
My idea is this, the list will consist of 10 (I might increase the number if it seems too few) robots from any competition (UK, US) etc and any weight limit. This list should also contain a short reason for that candidate. It will interesting to see who you choose as you probably will not just choose just RW and BB winners, who knows this might become official.

hmm how about
Beauty 2 (Feather weight) winnner of euro 2007, winter tour 2007, tag team 2007 with RIP and UK Champs 2008 so far

may be the most sucsessfull robot ever (lol)

TillyEwe2 2007 (and still current ) ANHIALATOR CHAMPION .........

As far as feathers I would vote for Arrghh, as it showed what could be done with feathers at a time when some of use were still building with wood (no offence to BoW).

What about us, we use the most blue lights!!

Although if you think that Whirlpool has loads of lights, wait until you see the heavy.

On a slightly more serious note, Whirlpool was the highest seeded pusher for this years UK champs (no. 4) The only problem was my Dads driving. Also someone correct me if I am wrong but I think that Shockwave the only LP feather to flip an opponent out of a heavyweight arena (it did it twice at Burgess Hill this year)

Anyway, I think that I would vote for Beauty because it has been so successful and for all of the Big Nipper teams robots- they are all great!

What about Terrorhurtz the 2004 Winter Tour Champion

Turbulence the 2006 UK Champion

Big Nipper the 2007 UK Champion

Iron-Awe 5, winner of Winter Tour 2007, Robots Live! @ Leicestershire & Burgess-Hill 2008 & the 2008 UK Champion

big nipper and thz are on there

gravity is the daddy of our flippers - he started the way we use our rams (i think) and he is on the list aswell

from a quick look the flippers on the list were either mega popular when robot wars was on or changed the way flippers worked (chaos 2 - cassius) and there on the list

if it was updated there could easily be 10 robots what are around today added to it - and them 10 robots would beat 80% on the list

i personaly think the second M2 (low pressure version) should be on there- was so good at the time, competitive, stylish and won alot. Thats why i copyed most of it for turbulence mk1 lol.

Its also a machine people can aspire to build.. alot of people are put off when they see a machine like big nipper or storm 2 because they think theyll never be able to engineer somthing like that in there garage.. M2 was just welded steel and clever thinking.
