There were a couple of Razer "clones". Pinzer, Tiberius, Mantis mk1, kraken, Chompalot. It's well possible that Hypno-disc beat one of those.

Razer had omniwheels wich were never that much of a problem for them, they used 12V motors on 24V quadrupling their power but at the price of either their speed controllers failing or the motors melting. After series 3 they got that under control and then they had a very long winning streak. 2x world champions, 1 time Extreme champion, 1 x European champion, 1 time UK champion. And more best design awards than you can shake a stick at.
Best regards,

Yeah razer rocked. It was like the best robot wars bot ever right?
I thought in at least one battle. lets just say: In one battle I'm pretty damn sure I saw one of the wheels come off. Or the tires if it had any? Razer had small little wheels didn't it? And a neck that cuts into the enemy bot like a razor blade?

Razer had skeeler wheels in the front, and Omniwheels in the back.

This made it easier to turn. He did lose a wheel against pussycat once, perhaps you remember that one?

Ah yes. That was it. I got it mixed up with hypnodisc. Probably just because I liked hypnodisc Rolleyes.
Does pussycat have a similar weapon to hypnodisc? Perhaps I got it mixed up. Perhaps hypnodisc cut off OTHER bots wheels. And since I liked hypnodisc I got that mixed up with pussycat's win over razer. Pussycat won didn't it?

Well, that must be a relief for you 'cause collecting stamps is a religion by definition.

I feel generous today, any hobby is a religion even posting on a forum. Man, are we religulous!

I guess we are. Religion without the supernatural bit! Lol. And we have our own religions. Atheism is not a belief system or a religion in and of itself.

Pussycat uses a sawblade style weapon. It is very effective and the weird configuration made is almost impossible to flip.

Hypno-disc caused a lot more damage than just wheels. I took out a motor and a battery from my robot last time I went against it.

Did hypno-disc never fight razer then? Because if it can do more damage than pussycat and pussycat beat razer. Couldn't hypnodisc beat razer?
