User blog comment:Nweston8/Robot Wars Missions - Entry 1: Finding machines that are genuinely overrated/@comment-9751413-20171222113755

Here's one I'm 100% responsible for:

Ruf Ruf Dougal.

The Anti-Flipper flywheel worked, the spike was damaging and it was fast and could survive a lot of knocks. But that's it. The armour was loft insulation and nothing else, plus the weapon, although good, has limited effect in the grand scheme of things.

Not saying that it's progression through Ragnabot 2 wasn't riding on overratedness - it wasn't - but I feel like I've caused us all to give it a bit too much credit.

Not that I'm unhappy about it though :D
