You better hope you don't fight anyone with big wheels or high ground clearance. Something like Sovereign would own that bot. |

Luckily for him, there's a notable weight difference between Sovereign and Dead Zone, so I don't see that happening anytime soon. |

He said 'something like' Sovereign, not neccesarily the actual robot. Big wheels and high ground clearence will have the advantage, although the way robots go in SHW I dare say not too many will fit that description. He'd be more worried about robots that would be able to get under him and ignore those wedges, as well as any power spinners. He'll have a field day with any hammers though. |

Only problem I can see is if your opponent has more torque, unless there's a floor in the 'pit' it will effectively have control over you, not the other way round. You wouldn't be able to let go of them if that happened either, unlike with TAN. Good design though, I like it a lot. |

Pits are the most bullshit hazard ever, I hope we never have a pit. |

totally agree. we definatly need inner walls so mah epic flippers can launch some competition out of the arena, but pits are just lame. |

I know, eh. My translational spinner lost to a lifter because it got pitted just as its opponent was about to break down. A certain Mr. Jackson on FRA may or may not have something to do with that.

ah that takes me back to robot wars season 3 where they still had the pit that was open for the whole match. So many robots lost for no reason other than accidentally driving into it |

We should have ARC: Robot Wars where there's like 5 enormous bots in the arena at all times, all hazards are either completely ineffective or pits, and all robots work at 50% performance. Whatever a certain stat is, cut it in half. Also, 3/4 of all bots have to be pneumatic flippers. |

don't forget the part where the fights make up 5% of the actual result and the rest is interviews plus stupid hyping |

...I strongly disagree with some of those sentiments but I will keep my mouth shut in the interest of cross channel harmony ![]() Except for one thing - there weren't about 3/4 of robots with pneumatic flippers, nowadays it's closer to 7/8 on the live event circuit. The remainder are either pneumatic axes, rammers, and whatever it is that Scorpion is doing now (what does a disc robot become if the disc is turned off? hmm) |
