European Champion Beauty 2 (Flipper)

Looks pretty diverse to me, if not a bit one sided towards the flippers.

The Champs this year had 1 axe (Asgard),Venom (Crusher)was there but Captain Scarlett was entered.Tiny Hurtz was there but isnt yet finished.Basher(Axe) was entered but didn't turn up.I can think of 3 very good flippers that would probably have been there if the Champs were not in school term time: Explosion,Wedgie and Heatwave ( 2 seeded robots).Dizzy Tilly (FBS) would also probably have been there,hence diversity again.

If a change in weight or build rules were to be brought in,it would scrap any plans that anybody may have for a world championship as 13.6 kilos is now the standard weight limit.

I thought that the 4 judging criteria were Style,Control,Damage and Aggression.Surely the Style and Control are a main part of a Rambot against active weapons.It's not always about driving straight into your opponent.Tiny Toon is one of the oldest Featherweights still fighting,if it had that much of an advantage it would have won before now,so I don't understand James comment about Tiny Toon walking it again next year.
