Forums: Index > UK vs The Netherlands > UK vs The Netherlands Discussion

Please offer your suggestions for 16 robots each from the UK and Holland. No British robots that reached the semi-finals from Series 5 onwards are eligible, also ineligible are Mortis, 259, Fluffy and Anarchy. Robots that appeared in both the Dutch Series and the UK series will appear as they did in the Dutch series (see Gravity and Tough as Nails) Krab Bot/Crustacean will only be available for The Netherlands.

UPDATE: Please rank your robots in order of how strongly you want them in the tournament, I will use your rankings to break ties if necessary (I figure this is fairer than randomly choosing). Leave a note in your section to alert me once you have done so. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 23:27, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

UPDATE 2: To clarify, Belgian and Irish Robots are eligible, on principle that they have too few to get an international torunament proper. Don't be deterred by the fact that I didn't pick any, it was purely personal preference. RA2; aka Resetti's Replicas. (My Talk) 14:44, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Hung Decision

Ok, at the time when I was planning to end this round, we've got 4 votes for Robochicken and 4 for Philipper, with one judge on each side. I didn't anticipate this happening. Could someone who is eligible to vote please break the tie?Alternatively, if you were on the fence could you look it over and see if you're swayed by the opposition's arguments? Or just add more if you're firm in your stance. The round will end the moment the tie is broken, but don't feel pressured to change your mind just to keep this moving. Thanks.

In events where this has happened before, I have gone with the commentator's vote is the casting one. In this case, this is for you. Matt^{Talk to me} 07:31, March 13, 2012 (UTC)
