i know its a pain as a roboteer, but wot i used to miss is the damage, nothing excited me more from the tv days or now seeing a robot get smashed to pieces, not nice if its your robot i know, but for me personally its what excited me.

when competing i never watched the heavyweights fight, as in my opinion it was either a flipper, or that tyre thing, i found it boring very quickly watching 2 or 3 hw's either chuck each other around or just bash into each other, the only exception was terrorhurtz for me.
this is my own personal opinion of hw fights i saw with my own eyes, which was quite a few, so i dont want a backlash.

the only thing i liked watching in hw's was the razer demos, as at least you saw something get smashed up, even if it was an old tv or something.

that is why i built a fw, i started with a basic wedge, but then i went straight to a spinner, as yeah their unreliable and expensive to fix, but when working nothing beat it for me, or the sound of the crowd when u spun it up
