Raging Reality is a robot that I find really difficult in deciding whether or not it should win a battle. It has some great advantages, such as having a decent and reliable flipper, whilst also being exceptionally well-controlled too. But the problem with it is that its weaknesses are too obvious, such as light armour, generally unprotected wheels and poor reliability. Therefore, whilst I can see it beating some good robots in Series 6, I believe that Raging Reality could also lose to some less competitive machines too if it is not careful.

Speaking of Ragnabot 2, there were two examples I can think of that proved voting for or against Raging Reality was difficult for me. Firstly, there was the X-Terminator battle in Round 3, whereby although I felt that Raging Reality could overturn its opponent, I also believed that if X-Terminator's scoop could get underneath Firestorm 4's wedge, it probably could here. Then, when it faced √3, I had no clue who would win that; indeed, could Raging Reality's expert control ensure that the three-on-one advantage was negated? Or would the trio overwhelm it by pushing and slamming into it? I ultimately decided not to vote on that battle, not that it impacted the result in any way.

Henceforth, I do not think Raging Reality is overrated, but on the other hand I do urge caution when voting in a battle it is involved in. Just because it achieved two OotAs does not mean it can beat good opponents in the same fashion. But although some opponents may have good spinners and crushers, it does not mean that they would overwhelm the white machine. I honestly consider the machine therefore to be one of the "top ten robots one should be careful when voting in its battles." Supernova is in a similar boat.
