yeah didn't make my post lighthearted/just a joke enough. sorry man, your logic is fair enough.

No worries, I was a bit vague myself by saying it was just a red 259! It was certainly very good and did some damage. :smile:

Crash is the worst because it cannot beat any other bot here 1 on 1, even sneaky poke  :mrgreen:

If you could record Crash beating Sneaky Poke, I might pay you if you do so.

Worst Robot: Hell Spawn 1.2 (I'm honestly surprised this hasn't got a vote considering its no-win record. Its a shame, too, considering it could have done better had there been some tweaks.)
Finally someone agree to my embarrassment in bot building! Yet, I little surprised why no one actually thought about voting this bot for worst robot. It could just be because Hell Spawn 1.2 just happens to be that one bot that constantly slips under the radar, because of other Robots looking a lot worst than Hell Spawn like Red Claw or Skellachopper.

It's because Hell Spawn isn't total sh**. It's got a terrible record, but at least it looks decent, whereas compared to all other voted or considered robots:
  • The Sneaky Poke: Great banter, but... yeah. I'd kinda like to see something serious from Adam, because when you produce the PM's pulverizor, you do have some standards and expectations to live up to.
  • Tankslapper: Good replica but **** me this is a boring robot, it's literally a wedge with an ocasional flail. We've the Pay Tribute with Replicas thread for a reason Kurt.
  • Serenity in Murder: It's a box with a disc. Yawn.
  • Red Claw: Meh. Just not all that good. Bland and rushed.
  • Crash: 09 cmon this isn't the worst robot, but Crash in my opinion wasn't that funny tbh.
  • Hornbob: This robot is damn good, what are you smoking Orc?
  • Skellachopper: I kinda like it honestly but 3 maces and a somewhat bland design makes it possible to see why it got voted.

To quote Demon from the Discord chat: "Performance, looks, whatever you want to judge on" Hornbob did well but like I said, in my opinion it's just a red 259. No offense meant. I've never heard of Tankslapper before which is why I didn't vote it for the same reason. :P

Say anything you want, Everyone's votes are only opinions at the end of the day like saying the Sneaky Pole is the worst robot over any other robot.  Why I said that Hell Spawn was ****, is because of it's performances in it's battles; the extenders get ripped off, not being to flip a bot over due to being unable to get under bots and being unable to self-right when needed. When all these factors make it bad to the so-so line. To me this makes this the worst in performance but never in looks, due to how some Robots looking worst like Red Claw despite the poor skinning of Hell Spawn. So I just interpretive the Worst Bot Award just for looks but not performance alone like many other users like Botomatic and jdg37 would might of thought the same. So just say what you want about this, it's only an opinion in the end.

I mean, you weren't wrong.  Me building IRL is basically me taking a real bot and making a kinda low-quality replica of it.

Alright, closing thoughts: iKa, please put some armor panels or something on your robots to make them look realistic. I want to like your stuff but so unrealistic (blood orange from sword of glory, anyone?). Demon, great bloody tournament. Jamie, well done on getting 4th. JDG: tortuga is good. Kurt: neat robots but what the **** was the XL swords configuration on dominotrix. AHOG: funny as ever but send 1 actual bot along with the memes please.

Raus will return. Prepare yourselves.
