Series 7 Heat I Round 2

[thedarkergerkin]

west ham fan there- you know all about descending lmao

[BlackBladeInc]

The dude was right. Biohazard ripped off storm 2

[megakingofRS]

@BlackBladeInc and also inspiration from tornado...

[TheLegacyofHitchcock]

@BlackBladeInc Biohazard started competing about 7 years before Storm 2 so if anything its the other way round. Besides, just becase a robot uses a similar weapon to another, it doesn't automatically make it a rip off. There are differences in the design such as Biohazard using linear actuators and storm using motors and rods for the arms. Also, every weapon idea has been taken, so inevitably there are going to be similarities.

@BlackBladeInc

Actually, the only reason Storm II has the lifting device is becuase of the new 'No static weapons allowed' rule, which was introduced in series 7. They did not have this arm in the new blood championship in Extreme 2, so the lifter wasn't in the origonal design.. If the Storm II team hadn't given their robot the lifting arm, they would have been disqualified.

Growler & Mr psycho :') one man and his dog :D

[FangedDragon01]

I have to commend Trax; like JP said, it did very well at absorbing Storm's blows.

[Fireworkatheart]

Storm 2: The little black box that could.

I don't understand why the Trax team claimed they used tracks for more grip because their robot slides around like it's on ice skates or something.

[SeriousGamer2009]

@Fireworkatheart haha, yeah, it kinda defeats the purpose of tracks when they are made of SMOOTH POLISHED METAL instead of rubber or piked metal :P

[legomailman]

@Fireworkatheart Yea you have a point but you have to admit it looks cool how slides around the arena like it's skating.

[Mikeybot55]

@Fireworkatheart well you would be to if you had to fight storm 2

[TheThirdKiller]

If Trax has no found weaknesses then why didn't it go further?

[legomailman]

@TheThirdKiller I think what they meant there was no big weakness or fault like can't self-right things like that or they thought they were great.

[carbojp17]

i do like trax's flipper but storm II never gave them a chance to use it.

[MasterofMayhem1394]

2:33 I think was another West Ham reference.

[willot747]

Trax did really good for a bot with tracks

[otfphotography]

Sorry but the most sucessfull tracked robot for me was 101.

[RobotsGreatWar2]

@otfphotography

most successful yes, but had plenty of flaws whereas Mortis, had brilliant technology for the first 4 wars.

[metallyrics411]

@otfphotography no, it was sir killalot

[Gavin17259]

Make sure it has lots of traction. :-)

[Mrcoolguy96]

Hi there everyone, I'm designing a new fighting robot which is going to be a rammer like storm 2 or tornado, and I was wondering if anyone here has any advice/tips/ideas on making a rammer.

[Garfie489]

@Mrcoolguy96 hard body armor it needs to be hit alot make it hard also go on wiki theres a page on the different classes it gives you the best way to make any type

[Mrcoolguy96]

@Garfie489 Theres a guy on youtube who's called Mrbringbackrobotwars. check out his channel, it shows what hes doing to help bring back robot wars

[Garfie489]

@Mrcoolguy96 yeah i know

[Mrcoolguy96]

@Garfie489 Oh do you know him?

[Garfie489]

@Mrcoolguy96 no he added me

[Mrcoolguy96]

@Garfie489 You should talk to him, his got some great ideas.

[Garfie489]

@Mrcoolguy96 yeh but theres a commity or something like that, that a friend a robotier is in they have tried several times but no tv company seems to want it also it is someone elses copyright too

then again if any tv company are 2 ask its BBC or channel 4 BBC still own all the house robots and had good ratings with robot wars and channel 4 has 100 hours of tv to fill because of big brother

[Mrcoolguy96]

@Garfie489 trust me have a look

[Headbanger142]

John Wayne was a muppet? I never saw him on the Muppet show

[Mrcoolguy96]

What is trax's weapon?

[Eddyking5]

Some kind of Pusher thing.

[joeybmcconnell]

Forward hinged flipper, main problem was the studs they welded to the tracks raised the front off the ground and they didn't get to use it.

[wolfie0890]

that and it relied on getting the robot probably much higher on the wedge to be effective... not really fast enough for it to happen i'd say. clever design but not entirley effective. i do like trax though

[tclol]

that poor pit release button how many times has it been smashed off

[lukemsnboi]

trax wud b gud if it ws in the fifth wars or before

[Mrcoolguy96]

I think the cows sticker of the rhino is dead, however, the bit chip whjasing masching-type thingy was too weak, what do u think about the pig they?

[fabiangear]

trax was to much like mortis wich was crap!

[THUNDERTAI]

trax is crap storm 2 is brilliant

[BulletDrummer]

Lovely West Ham comment, JP.
