User blog comment:Nweston8/Robot Wars Missions - Entry 1: Finding machines that are genuinely overrated/@comment-2118191-20180206183954

I don't think what helps is the fact that Barry's own team overrated it. After Grunt's suicide flop in the Sumo, I don't blame them for being annoyed that they were eliminated by a robot that was just going to throw its battle, but what really bugs me is that the team insisted that the Sumo would have been easy for them and that they would have shown up Shunt.

Based entirely on their Gauntlet performance, do you know what I think would have happened? I'll tell you...the two would have collided, Barry would have immediately died again and Shunt would have pushed it straight off. I guarantee you that would have happened. And all things considering, I suspect Shunt would have done all this faster than even Shogun. Honestly, Grunt was doing you a favour, Team Power.
