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). However, it's not as effective as it could potentially be, because he can't do any decent damage with only the ramplates. Wedge quality is average, but it makes up for this by sometimes gaining enough leverage in its flippers to self-right.

Also the only bot near 800kg, the other HW's being around 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).

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 to decently-weaponed bots since its damage is comparatively low, but even still, it is still good at KOing opponents via flipping, OOTAing in low-walled arenas, and using its strength to push foes into hazards.


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