Talk:Rawbot

Does anybody know the real reason why Rawbot qualified automatically for the Third World Championship? I put on the championship's article that it was the Swedish champion because somebody on youtube told me that and I had nothing else to go on, but I'm not sure whether Sweden ever had a robot combat championship. Any ideas? Christophee (talk) 16:32, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

I'm honestly not sure, to be honest. I guess there was just a lack of remaining countries with robots to qualify for. One country would therefore be automatically sent through, and Sweden, with Rawbot, was that country. But in all honesty, I don't really know. CBFan (talk) 16:42, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

I don't have a clue either. Helloher (Death is not my phone number) 16:55, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

I think we should change what it says on the article as we have no real evidence that the reason I gave is correct. I'll just say it was given a place for unknown reasons unless we ever find out the real one. Christophee (talk) 17:10, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

I've just had a thought. Perhaps Rawbot was due to take part in a qualifier, but its opponent was forced to pull out at the last minute. I have no idea who this opponent might have been, but it could be the reason why there was no Special Event during Heat I. Christophee (talk) 02:49, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

hey look what i found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idv39Vtuklg 90.230.157.179 15:14, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

As interesting as that is, that battle took place after Series 7 was filmed so it couldn't have had any effect. Even if it had been before Series 7, I really doubt that Rawbot would have been given a place based on some exhibition battle. Christophee (talk) 15:42, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

They were due to fight a robot from Italy but that robot had to pull out so they went through automatically and the heat summuray was shown in its place.

That makes perfect sense, but where did you find that out? Was the Italian Zeus? TG (t c) 21:58, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

I thought that was probably the most likely explanation, but do you have any proof that it's true? Christophee (talk) 14:07, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it was Zeus. However the website i found that info on seems to be shut down now.
