BW - Looking like a pretty solid competition (apart from Ribbs). I'm quite impressed with logan's entry, personally, he's improved quite a bit from previous entries. STFC and DMP4 look a bit unstable to me, but DMP4 did reasonably well in RA2 Trials 3. ty4er could spring a surprise, Jack Daniels' bot is original, but I'm not too sure it'll do all that well. My pick for the division is Urjak's Radial Disturbance.

LW - Excuse me one moment.

Okay, now to business. Aside from ian and 090901, most of the bots have a similar sort of design. Linxus and Forrest's lack of wedging might let them down. Mr. AS appears to have AGOS, either that or his motors arne't lined up properly. Mike's bot looks very nice, but I'm worried about a lack of stability with the short stance, even with the wedge. So my pick for the LW's goes to Conraaa's Crno I Belo.

MW - Again, I'm seriously impressed with logan's bot. It's a very, very good series of bots, it's going to be a very close fought thing. ty4er, Gauche and madman are some interesting bots. Kurt's bot looks like it'll be destroyed pretty quickly, though, which is all down to wedges. I can't make a pick for this division, because it's pretty much a total wedge war. Tentetively going for S_M's Punt.

HW - Very nice use of interchangeable weaponry by SKBT. Go away Ribbs. Chocolate appears to be the closest to DSL of the group, and DBC's lack of extender supports slightly annoys me. Fracture looks very nice, and The Highlander makes another appearance in an IRL tourney. NMOL's exposed motors aren't that great, but at least it's got supports. OI3 looks quite good for an IRL bot, maybe a little bit like Freezerburn. Touch to pick a winner here, but I suppose I'll have to go for the absurdly cheap Lidl Value Chocolate.

I hope I get ty4er right away since I know his bots wedge is better and then I can pull a Rage 3

Is R1885 BW a popup are just a wedge?

Linxus · « **Reply #11 on:** July 29, 2012, 11:51:31 PM »

I built my bot five minutes before signups closed, so i didn't tested it, and probably I am going to lose in first round

I felt that the US was going to have enough representation... and oddly, Croatia was the first thing that came to mind. So, I went with it.

Didn't know a damn thing about it... looks like a fine place from what I can gather on wiki. :D

Djibouti will hopefully get a medal :D I used the larger panels to give them more HP, it might be easier to hit but it can take more so I figured I'd take that chance due to having only 4 weapons. The bot I used is one I made sometime early-mid last year I think.

Conraaa · « **Reply #15 on:** July 30, 2012, 05:02:06 AM »

BW: If I can get past Radial Disturbance, then I think I have a fighting chance at least.

LW: Olol. It's me against a robot I skinned in the first round! Also I think Above all is going to fall down quite quickly, we're on the clawtop arena, which means all the robots will have to turn around to face each other. O_O will take off a couple of the extenders at the oppertunity and take the match. At least I hope to god that's what happens.
Also MikeNCR copied me obviously :P

madman3 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 30, 2012, 07:57:25 AM »

Mike in the HW and Suede in the MW? I might beat Mike if I manage to knock him up and gutrip him and my bot's fairly wide and he's got a small weapon radius, so that may go okay.
Suede is basically a matter of whether I can outwedge him. I've got more damaging weapons (LDS teeth) and more of them, so that may be an advantage for me, but he's got more protection.

Linxus · « **Reply #17 on:** July 30, 2012, 09:14:04 AM »

My splash have an issue, there is not a bot's name but country's.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #18 on:** July 30, 2012, 10:44:45 AM »

Ugh, My BW was a rush build, and my HW was just me slapping a decal onto a bot in LDAI which I forgot to add axle support onto (shoot me). Don't think I'll win any fights, but lol bawkes
