User blog:Gutripper/Gutripper's Definitive Ranking of UK Heat Finalists

By now you guys might have noticed I really like tables and rankings. Ever since reading Toon Ganondorf's list of UK Heat Finalists that could've won other heats, I've been wondering about heat finalists in general. Is there a way we can rank them from best to worst?

Over the last few hours, I've come up with a few criteria. Basically I am asking three questions:
 * Could the robot have reasonably won the battle?
 * Was there a hypothetical scenario that ended with it winning and does that scenario have a reasonable chance of happening (i.e. just because there's a 10% chance Anarchy could side strand Tornado, I'm not saying that Anarchy could therefore beat Tornado.)
 * If it had won the heat final, could it have matched the performance of the robot who took its place?
 * This is the most controversial of my questions, because it might cause some robots (Razer in Series 4, The Big Cheese in Series 3, Berserk 2 in Series 3) to perform unreasonably well in order to rank higher, whilst robots that lost in the first-round of the semi-finals have already matched that list. However, looking at my list I am satisfied this is a necessary evil, because any robot that could have won has already ranked above robots that had no way of winning.
 * Was the robot the second best robot in the heat?
 * Some robots fluke heat final appearances, there's no way around it. Those have been ranked much lower than robots who were genuinely in the top two robots of the heat. Robots I consider the actual best robot in the heat will be very high on the list.

Tier 7
''Robots who were lucky to reach the heat final, because the actual second best robot lost (usually to the best robot) in Round 1 or 2, whilst this robot got a cruisier run.
