User blog:Toon Ganondorf/Top 10 Battles That Don't Accurately Reflect A Robot's Contribution

Welcome to Top 10!

In a world of black and white, stop and go, win and lose, there's no room for shades of grey. In Robot Wars, its become quite common for a robot to have a "win" despite being carried through by a stronger independent robot; Razer, Hypno-Disc, Chaos 2 and Firestorm have all dominated battles and carried through weak robots who then get a "win" on their record.

Conversely, every now and then a robot will come out with flying colours and make a significant impact on the battle - sometimes even taking out a robot - but ultimately also fall in the battle. There are a few choice examples of robots whose contributions to a battle are diminished by the fact that they ultimately lost those battles. This may be because there was only one spot available, or because they were then defeated by another robot.

I've done my best to compile a list of fights where the battle record did not reflect a robot's contribution to that battle.
