Fish Out of Water: Snookums. Another case of Bunny Attack where the robot is credited for being “good for what it was” rather than “good”. It has a win over Ninjitsu which has been keeping its Rankdown hopes alive, but this was quite a specific scenario where it successfully entangled a rare spinner on the show and still only scraped a split decision. It deserves credit, which is why Snookums has come this far, but its other win was over Medusa Oblongotta who is long gone by now, and then there’s three losses to compensate for, alongside the many visible and intentional design flaws on the machine.

Hard Carried: Black Widow. This robot has somewhat crept under the radar but could honestly make its exit right around now. It’s positive claim is a side event victory, but surely we can all agree Rocky-Bot-Boa did the majority of the work in the Tag Team Terror, with Black Widow only needing to limp out a victory over The Termite (eliminated earlier in the Rankdown) in the middle. Beyond that, Black Widow’s weapons were useless, and it was so poor as a wedgebot - with the ultimate combination of being steep, not particularly fast, bad weaponry in the way of the wedge, and with hugely exposed wheels - that it confidently lost a wedgebot battle to an accidental wedge in the form of Conquering Clown 2.

The Pool: Black Widow, Buzz, Diskotek, G-Force, Hannibal, Mechadroid, Texas Tornado, Xylon
