#Neither robot is really well suited to grab the other, that much is clear. It feels like if one grabs hold of the other, the other will just slip away. Crucially, however, Tough as Nails is better designed to keep control of robots it can't actually grab. If Krab-Bot loses its grip on TAN, the Dutch machine will just slip away - there's no way a massive machine like that will fit Behemoth-equse in that gap between the pincers. But if TAN loses its grip on Krab-Bot, then there's a very good chance that the British machine will still be caught between the pincers, possibly at an awkward angle that it won't be able to drive away from. There's also the chance that it'll just slip away, but it's a 50/50 gamble and it's one TAN can and will exploit. If this lasts the full five minutes, then it's a fight I trust TAN to edge out on, certainly on aggression and all things considering, likely on control too...we know Krab-Bot was always a little slippery.

#I dunno, even with a smaller size and "roll ability"? I guess, I just can't see Krab Bot getting any purchase whereas I can see TaN even without actually clamping around it and I can easily see it just grabbing it and or scooping it around the arena and in the pit.

+ | #Can't actually see Tough as Nails actually grabbing Krab-Bot properly unless it catches it from behind, which I don't see as, like its opponent, Krab-Bot is usually nimble enough to avoid getting caught like that. That said, I still see Tough as Nails just about dominating aggression sufficiently for the win here... [[User:Hogwild94|Hogwild94]] ([[User talk:Hogwild94|talk]]) 21:26, March 28, 2020 (UTC) |

Revision as of 21:26, 28 March 2020
Welkom terug bij Nederlandse Serie 3. After five gruelling heats and two terrific five-way Rumbles, we are now down to our eight Grand Finalists. They include the former Dutch champion Slicer, former Grand Finalists in Krab-Bot, Philipper 2 (who has retained its Belgian crown!!), Scraptosaur and Twisted Metal Evo, and three machines who have never reached such heights in Das Gepäck, Gravity and Tough As Nails. And we certainly have variety in these mean machines, including grabbers, flippers, spinners and rammers, all of whom claim to have what it takes to earn the Dutch Series 3. But of course, only one can come out on top. So, LAAT DE FINALES BEGINNEN!
