Robot Wars - The "Legends" Special

**dinowarrior** · 26th June 2010, 17:55

Hey....isn't this a surprise?

Heaven knows how I found my way back here. I probably wouldn't have returned, except I recently had an interesting idea, based on another TV gameshow I enjoy watching.

The thing is, I feel like writing again. The problem is, everything I end up doing with vapourbots doesn't go well....and really, this time I am determined to do this...the last retirement special, I had little motivation.

ROBOT WARS - THE LEGENDS SPECIAL

The rules are simple. What I'd like is for 8 people to enter eight robots. But there are a few rules.

1 - The robots must have competed in the UK series at some point. (So C.V., for example, is a no-no)
2 - They must have a form beyond the new weight limit. (So Comengetorix would be allowed, but not Milly-Ann Bug)
3 - The most important rule of all....NO Semi-Finalists up. All the robots must have lost in their heats and never progressed past them in any form (so, for example, no picking Gemini, because Mace got through to the semi finals)

I can't admit to having a preference as to what sort of robots are picked. As a recommendation...
-Maybe robots that had bad misfortune in the UK competition.
-Some of the more notable robots....I.E. the funny ones.
-Whilst there is nothing to stop you guys entering side tournament winners (Diotoir, Kan Opener, etc)....try to keep them to a minimum.

And that's about it. Sorry it's not a vapourbot tournie, but....well, I wanna see how it goes.

Hellbent 2 ?

Stress the rules again....eight robots each, and they have to have been in RW. So whilst I can't use Hellbent 2, I can use the original. ^^

Guess who else is back? Just for this, though.

Chris, I really do hope this goes well for you. With the long summer holidays ahead, I think I have plenty of time to do something here.

Corkscrew II
Roobarb
SMIDSY
Araknia
Kat III
Tetanus Booster
Iron Awe 2.1
Thor

As far as I know, none of them have progressed beyond the Heat Final. Really hope it goes well, Chris. Just a few questions?

How does the format go? (I guess with 64 robots, the format will be eight heats similar the S6/S7 structure)

Are there any special events?

Good luck

Hope my list is ok?

Hellbent
Barry
Eubank the Mouse
Stealth
Bumblebot
Weeliwako
Hammerhead
Shark Attack

Rob - Sorry, only Hellbent would be valid. The other 7 never had an Extreme 1+ form.

Enee - To answer your questions...

1 - Yeah, pretty much.
2 - This is a special event of sorts.

Heres my ist of bots hoping to get in

Hefty (Just for the hell of it :wink: )
Slicer? (Are dutch ones allowed?)
Anorakaphobia
Tomohawk
IG-88
Agent orange
Hydra
General Cranage 2

If im not allowed Slicer, then replace it with Trax

Don't want to sound picky, because I am, but:

Hefty, Anorakaphobia and Agent Orange were within the original weight limit for Robot Wars (80kg), and I think Chris said only robots after the new 100kg limit were allowed.

Just saying
