Robot Wars Series 7 Annihilator

Competing machines:
Robochicken, Flippa, Ripper, Ewe 2, Kan-Opener, Raging Knightmare

[@jackcarter5101]

The House Robot Rebellion was the last battle ever filmed in the original robot wars arena

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

that's correct. the new robot wars has nothing to do with house robot rebellion at all.

[@samuelgiles7571]

At 16:06, as Behemoth enters the arena, it gets its bucket/scoop wedged under the arena floor due to a loose floor panel

[@davidjatt3251]

cant believe the one time psycho's stupid hammer managed to break anything, it was gravity's motors...

[@DoMw94]

It worked plenty of times, it just dealt internal damage. Like blunt force trauma - it might not make you bleed, but it'll break you well and truly

[@jedg9309]

Gravity has the power of modern flippers

[@DoMw94]

If you look at its ram setup, it's what inspired almost every modern flipper

[@Headbanger142]

Good way for Behemoth to end its original run. Let's see how it does in series 10 now...

[@carribob1992]

So the Kan Opener team's explaination as to why they don't do well in the main event still holds water even when they did compete in Series 8.

[@carribob1992]

So Kan Opener's strategy is that they are "Going to grip Rippa The Flippa".

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

I have a theory that Ripper was being powered by Jayne saying “Ripper the Flipper” in her Geordie accent 😂😂😂

[@joeandrews7329]

Like Ant and Dec!.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Raging Knightmare was perched on the edge of the pit just like Chaos 2 vs Wild Thing.

[@joeandrews7329]

And escaped death!.

[@alexthehunted]

not going to lie this annihilator was pretty bad on par with the extreme 1 second annihilator

[@neilpennycook3287]

No it isn’t stop being harsh on series 7 and it’s annihilator also Extreme 1 Second Annihilator is also good

[@stevedimmock930]

@@neilpennycook3287 I thought this was a bit rubbish to be honest as 2 of the robots didn't work at all and nearly all of them were flippers. I much prefer this format when you have contrasting types of robots that did actually function (such as the first Ex1 one)

[@stevedimmock930]

Pretty lackluster annihilator in my opinion (have always felt that whenever there's less fights due to mechanical issues) but was a big shame they didn't do one in the newer series

[@StFidjnr]

robochicken got a bad case of murphy's law when they removed the head

[@joeandrews7329]

Bulldog Breed won the extreme 2 tag team terror alongside him.

[@themadbritking5543]

Strange moment for the house robot rebellion when the only robot that was working for the whole fight was Behemoth.

[@MultiVince95]

Nice

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

Mr. Psycho should have went over and flipped Growler back on its wheels... and cassius chrome shouldn't even exist, and it was also flipped over and stuck in the pit, how the FUCK did it just "get out" of that? Jeeez..

[@PelemusMcSoy]

I don't think Mr. Psycho would have been able to lift Growler; his trusty pooch weighed over 300kg. The pit was raised and Refbot righted Cassius. Housebots bending the rules to make a more exciting fight.

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

@@PelemusMcSoy Mr. Psycho was almost 1700lbs, and his arm was capable of lifted 440lbs straight off the ground - I know he can't just pick all 660lbs of Growler up, but I'm almost 100% confident he could have tipped him back over with the combined usage of his arm and body, with a lifting-push-tip motion. It'd have been worth a shot, rather than him just being incapacitated.. and again, Cassius is a piece of junk lol. He had no impact whatsoever on any fight he was ever in... they should have made a stupid powerful flipper bot instead. I know Matilda has a flipper, and there's a floor flipper, but still... almost anything would be better than Cassius

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

@@PelemusMcSoy but yeah, I know they were over there working on getting Cassius back upright and out of the pit, hence the quotations, but they just played it off as if Cassius somehow worked himself out of it lol, that's what I was pointing out there.

[@user-et3rv8lz8w]

The last of the Annihilator 20 years ago.

[@joeandrews7329]

2 decades back.

[@user-et3rv8lz8w]

This is the second and last time for Robot Wars Rebellion. And to think we should have a House Robot Rebellion at Extreme II.

[@joeandrews7329]

Did not happen.

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

5 FLIPPERS + 1 CRUSHER

[@evanwilliams6406]

Flippa never worked and advances to the second round, by doing absolutely nothing but holding Ewe-2 in the arena.

[@joeandrews7329]

De functioned.

[@MarkSW]

I'd love to see Apollo against Mr Psycho.

[@TaylorgangCorps]

XDD agreed

[@tylervielie5767]

Let's face it. Flippa just sucked. I think Conquering Clown should've competed in the World Championship Qualifier and the Seventh Wars Annihilator. He definitely would've provided more entertainment with his head on fire again. I'm just gonna stick with my previous statement. Joe Murawski should've held on to Buzz.

[@hex1044]

Robochickrn got sacrificed! No wonder it was terrible!

[@cr10001]

First heat, Ripper was quite impressive, flipping anything in sight. That 'Robot Rebellion' was bullshit, two competitor robots versus three house thugbots, and one of those the monstrous Psycho? If it had been a fair competition, weight for weight and two of them, like say Shunt and Matilda or Dead Metal and Bash, the house thugbots would have got the thrashing they so richly deserved. I'd like to see superheavyweight 300kg versions of, say, Gravity and Carbide let loose on Killalot and Psycho and reduce them to scrap. Heat 2, there goes Ripper again, flipping anything it can get to. I'm starting to really like this robot. Heat 3, well, Raging Knightmare was unlucky the other 2 ganged up on them. That's essentially what's likely to happen in any 3-robot contest. I think in a straight duel Ripper would beat Knightmare, they both have powerful flippers but Ripper's is so wide it's easy to get under another bot, Knightmare's is narrow and much harder to use. Kan Opener vs Knightmare, I'm not sure which would win. Based on performance so far, I think I'd bet on Ripper for the final, certainly if points were awarded for performance so far Ripper would get it. Final: Ah well, Ripper lost drive to a wheel. Didn't need bloody Psycho making a pest of itself again. Interesting that Kan Opener had so much trouble gripping them because of the wedge front.

[@PelemusMcSoy]

In regards to the Rebellion, if Cassius Chrome hadn't been lifted from the pit and righted by Refbot, the challengers would have still legally won. Growler got flipped, Cassius pitted, and Mr. Psycho shorted out at the end (he stopped moving, his eyes were off, and Jonathan Pearce pointed out easily missed internal sparking).

[@joeandrews7329]

Ewe 2 lost co2 due to a loose pipe. From Joe. X

[@hex1044]

How did Cassius Chrome self right? It was on its side down the pit. Does anyone know?

[@Headbanger142]

They raised the pit and Refbot flipped him back over.

[@hex1044]

Why?

[@TheLegacyofHitchcock]

They wanted the fight to go on for longer. The House Robot rebellions were for fun and pretty much threw the normal rules out the window; they even had the audience decide who won the battle.
