    "we can patch him together again, we just need more gaffer tape!"
    *Robot bursts into flames*
    Nice final last words.

    "We can patch it together again. Just needs more gaffer tape."
    *Chompalot immediately bursts into flames*
    This is what happens when you tempt fate...

      "It's on fire, it's-it's actually on fire." This is why I love RW, such dry humor.

      TheHumbleFellow what kind of batteries don't catch fire even when damaged?

    serious props to Gabriel. looks like the flimsiest thing you've ever seen, you expect anyone with a spinning weapon to rip it's huge, thin looking wheels clean off, and it goes to the final.

    Simon and Debs showed that they could carry on trying, but the damage to Chompalot was really extensive.

    I like how the flipper is an active hazard this series than in the original series when it was just for show after a robot was immobilized.

    Bit of a shame to see Thermidor 2 go out so quickly... but they've never been the most resilient robot to be honest. Pulsar though... how lucky can ya get? :)

    Gabriel was a very cool design but I didn't really notice it ever doing actual damage

    • @ATornTomkat
      @ATornTomkat 8 лет назад +1

      I think the intent is to cause the internals to vibrate and become dislodged, causing robots to fail that way. Thor has a blunt weapon, and I think Terrorhurtz is the same way. (The Terrorhurtz team have the robot Beta in Battlebots--now that is a specimen.) It's different, but depressingly the more standard spinners are more effective.

    • @ATornTomkat
      @ATornTomkat 8 лет назад

      For some reason there are topics about Robot Wars on the Battlebots reddit as well. (I'd be pissed off about that if I liked Battlebots and not Robot Wars.)

    • @TokensArcade
      @TokensArcade 8 лет назад +1

      It seems that on battlebots and Robot Wars alike, people underestimate the power of blunt force shock. If you can slam a robot hard enough to rock it badly on the inside then you don't need to rip them to shreds and that's been the strategy for bots like Thor and Gabriel on Robot Wars as well as Beta and Chomp on Battlebots.

    They should have done Gabriel vs Thor for the wildcard place wanted Gabriel to go through so much. So durable yet couldn't actually do any damage to another robot as well.

    • @leaguesmanoframsgate
      @leaguesmanoframsgate 8 лет назад

      What, in this heat? That's just _wrong_. Gabriel won a live event recently (2016 Stevenage) and Team Nuts posted the damage they'd received. Gabriel's sword completely mangles mild steel and box-section, and puts considerable wounds into other armour materials like the rapidly-approaching-ubiquitous hardox. While the fact that arenas are ungodly expensive means there aren't many spinners in the UK live show meta, the idea that Gabriel can't pack a punch because of its incredibly effective defensive design and construction is ludicrous. Also, Pulsar (if they managed to sort out their constant control issues; one of the guys from Team Nuts turned up as an auxiliary team member to hammer together a vaguely-working control setup with them) has a very, very efficient drum spinner, and Ironside 3 is basically the engine block of a Messerschmidt out for blood; they're both extremely effective at what they do, and it's a credit to Gabriel's innovative design that they did so little real damage. Ironically, the robot best equipped to fight them was a crusher like Chompalot; the plates on the main bodywork are HDPE as well as the wheels, so a beakee with a bit of oomph behind it (Draven, Razer, one of the Mings, Apex from the live shows) can do some very nasty things to it. Plus, good luck getting past the active weapon rule with your cardboard box.
      Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

    • @digitaldeathsquid3448
      @digitaldeathsquid3448 8 лет назад +3

      I dunno, I really liked Gabriel's design. It was almost infallible, although it lacked a killer weapon, unlike the (very similar) design of Stinger

    • @jammygamer8961
      @jammygamer8961 8 лет назад

      yea because the robot was so lightweight spinners struggled a lot to do any type of damage because the robot would just bounce off

    • @mclarenguy22
      @mclarenguy22 8 лет назад

      Got to disagree. Pulsar and Gabriel were strong but the highlight of this episode was the roboteers' driving skills which made up for great fighting, especially in the final.

    Gabriel was beyond boring to watch that series. 'i don't want to damage him anymore'. Dude...you're literally poking him with that thing. Hardly damaging. At least with Huge it had a spinner to use.

      @Garfie489 8 лет назад +1

      What you dont realise is Thermidor is nowadays a highly technically outdated design, itd be more surprising if any true retros made it out of the first round.

      A new age of robots is here. I know you posted this along time ago but I hope your less salty now.
      We may treasure the past but at this point without serious upgrades no 7th series robot has a chance. And if your really that stuck in the past you can always look to terrorhurtz or Apollo the spacehog.
