Talk:Stinger

Y'know, much as I love Chaos 2, Stinger flat-out BEAT the in the series 4 final. According to Craig the judges ruled both robots equal on every category except control- which was nonsense. Stinger bashed the hell out of Chaos 2, breaking one of the front panels, denting the flipper and knocking the backplate off, while Chaos 2 would have been lucky to put even a scratch on Stinger. You COULD argue that the judges had taken into account the fact that, considering Stinger's design, Chaos 2 couldn't really damage them and so not counted this against them- but that then raises the question of why they didn't take into account the fact that, considering Stinger's design, it's ALWAYS going to score less on control than almost any other opponent? Sadly, I think what it ultimately came down to was the judges just not wanting to eliminate the immensely-popular reigning champions when they were so close to retaining the trophy, and certainly not against a dark horse like Stinger, so they let their bias get the better of them. Stinger were the real winners.

Still not as bad as what happened in the 7th Wars Grand Final, of course... Arcane Azmadi (talk) 13:16, August 6, 2015 (UTC)
