Wild thing vs Prizephita is definitely among top 10 controversial decisions in RW, and probably the most controversial in Series 5.

The Alien is still in tact and still looks good. Sarah Asplin brought it with her to use as a static display at a Robots Live event last year. I think it should be upgraded and return into combat.

I don’t disagree with Wild Thing’s victory, absolutely the best robot and team in this heat. However, they were an unlucky draw for Trouble N Strife who looked very impressive and could’ve done well. Sadly though, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team downgrade their robot like they did, I was shocked when I realised what they had come back with next series.

Both Napalm and Warhog looked like a couple of old poor robots in early retirement limping on a sort of fight while Refbot was their tutor and kept helping them from where they stuck. It was actually a very cute (adorkable) moment that even the House Robots avoided to inflict damages to these two frail machines unlike their usuals.

Pause at 22:00. Look at the damage... That claw on the front of Sgt Bash is massively underrated....It crushes with EIGHT tonnes on the tip.. immensely powerful hydraulic crusher....

Shame Thermidor 2 went out first. one of my fav robots but whilst they have a powerful flipper, reliability has always been it's main downfall. not just with the fragile shell but the exposed wheels and the electronics have a habit of conking out for them. Looks like lobster is off them menu tonight
@TheRoboteer7 жыл бұрын
Wild Thing, you make my heart sing. Bit of a controversial heat this one. I have to say I do think that Wild Thing's victory over Trouble and Strife was absolutely justified. T&S barely moved and basically relied on Wild Thing being aggressive and driving into them to do damage. Wild Thing was far more aggressive, and deserving of the victory in my eyes. Napalm returns, contrary to what Phillipa said it actually WAS changed from the last wars...changed BACK to the 3rd wars design that is! The fact it got past round 1 is a miracle. It was never a good robot, even in Series 2, and at this stage it's just laughable. Thermidor going out in round 1 has to be one of the shocks of the series at this point. After an INCREDIBLE performance in Extreme, and a pretty damn good showing in series 4, it losing to the never-past-round 1 Prizephita was a major shock, though you have to give the Prizephita team credit, their bot was majorly improved and dominated the match. Wild Thing vs Napalm: The definition of a forgone conclusion. Not much to say about this one. Alien vs Prizphita: Alien's unreliable srimech strikes for the first time of many. Prizephita's flipper may be small, but it packs a surprising amount of power, enough to dominate the fight. Wild Thing vs Prizephita: Now the really controversial one. It was a real back and forth fight, although I have to say, not NEARLY as controversial as I remember it being. The opening seconds of the fight were obviously Wild Thing's. Prizephita were unable to flip them and Wild Think kept getting around the side and pushing them about. After that first flip though Prizephita started to get some good points in. After recovering from that nervy moment where they were stuck on their side Wild Thing started to get back on top. They were more aggressive (as they usually are late in fights, Wild Thing always seem to get stronger as fights go on) , very nearly getting Prizephita into the pit twice, and then slamming them into the wall at the close of the fight, where Prizephita seemed really sluggish. I'd say that the judges choice was the right one all things considered. Wild Thing was more controlled, More aggressive and Prizephita definitely seemed to be on its last legs by the end of the fight. I can absolutely sympathise with the Prizephita team though.
@CustardInc6 жыл бұрын
If T&S relied on WT's aggression, driving into them and damaging themselves, surely that's incredibly poor play from WT? Wild Thing lost both fights, the judges pick who they liked the most.

Wild Thing and Thermidor are the two I'd rate in this one. Though I don't think the spinner they've added to Wild Thing will do much for it, its main 'weapon' is its manouvreability and its pushing power. And in the event, against Trouble & Strife, it dominated despite a bent wheel. I think WT deserved its victory, since even in its damaged state it was still outrunning T&S. And shut up Craig and JP trying to manufacture 'controversy'. That hammer on The Alien does look like a good weapon. Velocirippa promptly broke down, presumably from that. What puzzles me (and really i should never have to ask this!) is why the house thugbots did no damage at all to Velocirippa when they dumped it in the pit. I mean, that's *good*, but it's a bit like a rabid dog not biting somebody, what's going on? Warhog didn't work and Napalm never did, much. Sort of a competition to see which could score less points. Napalm won on 'aggression' which was a pretty low bar in this case. I think the toughest struggle was the judges trying to decide who won. Thermidor vs Prizephyta was a good flipper duel. Interesting that Thermidor can run perfectly well inverted, just not flip effectively. Thermidor was a lot more active than Prizephyta but eventually broke down, so Prizephyta the winner. Wild Thing vs Napalm - again Wild Thing's advantage was its manouvreability, never mind trying to do damage, just push the slow Napalm into the pit. As Napalm said, "safe place to be." Alien vs Prizephyta - well I hadn't expected that. Prizephita managed a sneaky flip on Alien and Alien's SRM didn't quite work. Wild Thing vs Prizephita - Wild Thing started out well, but then it was all Prizephita's for a while, and then all Wild Thing's after they finally managed to recover from being stranded on their side. Could have gone either way. I'm pleased at the judges decision but I wouldn't feel robbed if they'd gone for Prizephita.
