was ziggy made by the same guy who made ziggo

@lampini No Ziggy was designed and built by a team called "C M Robotics"

Ziggy is a badass

@IAmTheMohawkWarrior They're not. I like to see parts of bots fly instead of bots as one flipped on their back.

@lordjeffpenalty With a bigger arena, Ziggy could unleash it's potential. The fact that SM is balanced on Ziggy builds tension.Look at the infamous Robot Wars flippers; Gravity, Chaos 2, Wheely Big Cheese, Thermidor 2, Bigger Brother, etc. and tell me their battles aren't entertaining. -.-

Congratulations on missing my point completely. I have never said I can build better robots. At least Super Megabyte was entertaining to watch unlike Ziggy. Every type of weapons has its uses, you just need to execute them perfectly.

@lordjeffpenalty Like you could build a robot that can best Super Megabyte, let alone Ziggy.

[lordjeffpenalty]

People who build flipping robots are cheap assholes who would do anything necessary to win a match minus the entertainment.

@Keurgui1 Not much considering that this is a 340 lb weight class and Tornado and Storm II only weigh 220 lbs (100kg)

Man, that arena was WAY too small for Super Megayte. If it was four times larger, this would probably have been a much more interesting fight. I love spnners, because they usually put on a good show with lots of sparks and destruction, while Ziggy is just about the only interesting flipper. Throwing robot up in the air like some Mortal Kombat fatality move never gets old.
