User blog:CaliforniaKingsnake/Bad robots from Good teams

Right then, this is going to be very controversial, but I don't care. As you all know, many teams build new robots or rebuild old robots, and sometimes they do well. But more often than not they end up complete busts. Here's a list of the "best" examples of these

RULES: - Those that are simply reincarnations of previous robots will be ranked lower than those that are brand new robots - For robots to be included on this list they need to have made at least 1 Semi-Final - First attempts of robots from experienced teams do not count (e.g. I'm not going to say Groundhog or Thermador were bad)

== Panic Attack Gold== == ==

Yup, I bet you were expecting this one. To put it blunt, Panic Attack Gold is just a robot unworthy of victory. Which is a real shame to say, because it was driven by one of my favourite people in all of Robot Wars. And it just makes me sad that for some reason Kim decided to not only drive this pitiful thing, but even build it in the first place.

== King B Remix == == ==

For no reason this robot makes me angry nowadays. Yes, it did really well in Extreme and in Series 2 and Series 3, but then in every other war it goes out in the second round. And what makes it worse is that Simon Harrison doesn't build a completely different robot despite all this. Personally, I'd go for an axe or a flipper, anything other than an RC car with worse lifting forks than Panic Attack Gold's

== 2016 series Thermidor 2 == == ==

This one makes me sad. I love Thermidor 2; its Mayhem in Extreme will always be in my Top 10 favourite battles. But this was just pitiful from Thermidor. There was none of the explosive flipping, not even a little flick. In fact, not even a pinch from the newly active claws. Thermidor, please be back to being as good as you were in that Mayhem fight. Please?

Spawn Again (Series 6) == == ==

Ah Spawn Again, what a great robot in Series 5, hearing its return must have been so sweet. So what happens in its heat? Why it gets smashed up by Supernova, nearly loses to a former Series 2 dropout, gets smashed up MORE by Supernova, then SOMEHOW gets through to the Semis again? Spawn Again in this series was just as weak as Panic Attack was. How coincidental they face the same robot that series...

== Gemini == == ==

Right, enough reincarnations, onto brand new robots from different teams, and why not start with one of the most overhyped robots ever (yes even Mortis is less overhyped)? Everyone's probably told you by now that Gemini was very weak compared to Mace, and honestly I see no point. I actually want them to return, plainly so they can show up those minibot-users. But the way they are the now, I don't want them to return. Give them true flippers and better armour, then I'll change my mind.
