EMERGENCY

Emergency is a stock AI flipper robot that many newbies to the game find impossible to beat.

This is of course not true, even if it's considered as the better HW of the stock AI.

It is a fact that some lightweights can easily take down Emergency (actual record, 15 sec-win with Anulbis, a lightweight Rammer from the v3 of the Starcore AI packs).

If you ever hear anyone say the usual "Emergency is so good !!!! It's impossible to beat !!!!! Its soo hard !!!!!11" Then you know that they are an ed30t (or just new).

Emergency features some decent frontal defense (4 ramplates) the most powerful flipper in all Stock AI (Double DDT), the most powerful drive (4WD HP Z-tek, tied with SnowJob) and the better armor (Double Strength Steel). But, it still sucks because he can't do any decent damage. Wedge quality is average.

Also the only bot near 800kg, the other HW's being arond 450-550.

Flying_Chao made a SuperHeavyWeight from the chassis of EMERGENCY, which is incredibly powerful. Also interesting, EMERGENCY was one of the few bots to use intersecting components (a common practice in the RA2 community).

Also is responsible for the biggest WTF moment in any tournament when, in Badnik96's 128-bot tourney, it actually beat Dexterhunter's BBEANS 5 entry Blood Shed by points.

The DSL version of Emergency is a flipper called Critical Emergency.

Probably as annoying as the Stock version, it is fast, has decent defense, one of the best wedges of all the heavyweights, and finally, it has three Iron spikes on top of him, so it actually makes damage for a flipper. Still not much of a threat since the damage is really low.

Emergency also has a whole team dedicated to him in the starcore AI packs.
