Forum:Series 7 Awards

As you may be well aware, Series 7 did not give out special awards. Which robots do you reckon could have been given the respective awards of Best Design, Best Engineered, Most Original Entry, Best Sportsman and Most Promising Newcomer? CBFan 18:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Well do Typhoon 2 and Storm 2 count as newcomers since this was their debut season for most promising newcomer?, For Best Design I would go for X-Terminator, Best Sportsman either the Kat 3 team or Robochicken, Most original entry to Mute and best engineered to Typhoon or Gravity CaptainAlex 19:24, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If it was their debut season, then yes they do count. Regardless of what happened in Extreme. CBFan 20:37, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Gravity for Best Engineered. Other than that, I can't say.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)

Thoughts? CBFan 10:46, 30 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Did they actually chose a winner from each of those categories, or did they just come up with the shortlist? My winners from those shortlists would be:


 * Best Design: Typhoon 2.
 * Best Engineered: Storm 2.
 * Most Original Entry: Tough As Nails.
 * Sportsmanship Award: Robochicken.
 * Most Promising Newcomer: Gravity.


 * I didn't think there was any point in going for Typhoon 2 or Storm 2 for the Most Promising Newcomer award because they had already fulfilled on their promise in Series 7, whereas Gravity could have potentially done even better if there were further series.

 * There wasn't an actual agreement on the winner, per-se, but the majority vote went for Typhoon 2, Storm 2, Tough As Nails, Firestorm 5 and Gravity, respectively...so not too dis-similar to yours. CBFan 14:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
