User blog:Gutripper/A definitive ranking of all returning UK Robot Wars competitors in 2016

Robots must have competed in at least one heavyweight UK competitionship in Series 1-7. Veterans are deemed from the same team as their predecessor. Personal choices have determined the ranking by 2016 performance.
 * The General, Draven and Foxic do not count.
 * Bonk counts as Mute.
 * Dantomkia counts as Trax, rather than as itself Team Dantomkia.
 * Carbide does not count as Tiberius.

The List
The plus and minus system is counted based on the following bastardised ranking: The spaces between certain ranks seems way bigger than others. It's not perfect. Its not comparable. Maybe its not even fair. I know.
 * 1 - Heat Round 1
 * 2 - Heat Round 2/Head to Head with 0-2 points
 * 3 - Heat Head to Head with 3-5 points
 * 4 - Heat Final (S1-7)/Heat Final with one loss (2016 series)
 * 5 - Heat Final Undefeated/Semi-Final Round 1
 * 6 - Semi-Final Round 2 (Series 2-7)/Grand Final Eliminator (2016)
 * 7 - Fourth
 * 8 - Third
 * 9 - Runner-up
 * 10 - Winner.


 * Somewhat surprising to no one, Razer and Kill-E-Crank-E are the mathematical losers of 2016, falling eight places short of their preceeding UK Robot Wars performance.
 * Tough As Nails, Storm 2 and Bonk also take hammering.
 * The only robots to improve are Thor, Behemoth and surprisingly Team S.Tek, despite Dantomkia the robot performing one less well.  Gutripper  Speak
