I wouldn't jump to any conclusions. As a flipper you always have OOTA plus some bots that can't self right. Either way it's double elimination and great fun to test your designs anyway.

Well, if you look at my bot compared to everyone elses, it's not the best in design. But I now feel it may still have a chance against some of these bots like AHOG's bot looks weak as well as some other. Also, the flipper may be some-what durable to last some time and may offer OOTAs if possible.
 So I do wish everyone good luck and hope that your bot doesn't get chucked into a virtual bin bag.

It is now time to reveal all of the eliminator fights for the tournament! Remember, 2 robots progress from each battle!


The people who have modular robots have 24 hours to choose their weaponry. If you do not choose your configuration in time, then I will be forced to use the default config seen in the splashes.

I'm not too sure about that, actually. Unlike Redclaw and Subterfuge, it actually has top armour (and it only has to last long enough for two other bots to get knocked out). It could go either way.

As of now, you have 48 hours to send me your grudge match choices. However, some new robots have been revealed exclusively for these battles, including new robots and byebots alike!"

The New Robots:

Remember, you can send me upgrades to existing robots or even new robots. I must warn you, however, that you can only either update a robot previously in the tournament or flat out make a new robot. You cannot do both.

Anyways: The Grudge Matches:
01: 3 Sneaky Pokes VS Hornbob Fury (Thrackerzod)
02: The Sneaky Poke VS Crash VS Network VS TankSlapper (Spike) (Guldenflame)
03: The Inverter-A VS Average Sized Black Saw VS Burn (Guldenflame)
04: Crash And Burn VS TankSlapper (Flail) And DominoTrix (Swords) (Kurt)

If it's okay with you [Demon]. I would to request another grudge match between: Doctor FeelGood, The Sky is the Limit, Hell Spawn 1.2 and Catipult. Yes, you can guess it's a flipper frenzy, no surprise.
Edit: Just had to say who I was talking to just to avoid confusion.

As of now, you have 48 hours to send me your grudge match choices. However, some new robots have been revealed exclusively for these battles, including new robots and byebots alike!"

The New Robots:

Remember, you can send me upgrades to existing robots or even new robots. I must warn you, however, that you can only either update a robot previously in the tournament or flat out make a new robot. You cannot do both.

Anyways: The Grudge Matches:
01: 3 Sneaky Pokes VS Hornbob Fury (Thrackerzod)
02: The Sneaky Poke VS Crash VS Network VS TankSlapper (Spike) (Guldenflame)
03: The Inverter-A VS Average Sized Black Saw VS Burn (Guldenflame)
04: Crash And Burn VS TankSlapper (Flail) And DominoTrix (Swords) (Kurt)
05: IWTFRC VS 3 DominoTrixes (Single Tooth, Dual Level and Swords) (Kurt)
06: Tiny Trident VS The Sky is the Limit VS Slambot! (Baconus_Yum)

09: Don't Steal, Kids, It's Bad 2 VS Network VS Hell Spawn 1.2 VS The Inverter-A (Jamied666)
10: Ground Force: The Titchmarsh Terror VS HMS Dara's Boat (TheRoboteer)
11: Tor2ga VS Supremo Drone Mini (jdg37)

Extra Matches:
--Byebot Battles (Dark_Al)

Is Anti Gravity Evo vs The Sky is the Limit and The Sky is the Limit still possible?

Oh, and also if i send you Raus Mk. II can i face Dominotrix, in the weapon configuration of his choice? I ask because you accepted DS,K,IB2 and GF:TTT for grudge matches.

After Action Report:

The wrong opponent for Raus. I wanted to see how the change in drive motors would effect Raus, as it turns out: It's even slower, so Dominotrix had ****-all to worry about, and Domino picked the longest reaching blades to punt me about the arena with, though even if he'd used the other weapons he'd still have won. Also, the E-wedge getting torn off immediately was pretty funny but also a bad sign for the rumble.

I'll wait till the rumble to pass judgement on Raus Mk. II's overall performance.

The grudge matches end as the other 5 rumbles appear!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL2sfvcGPz4

FINAL RUMBLE: The Rules:
Due to the number of robots (40 as of now), 2 robots will be eliminated from each battle instead of just one. The reserves will not appear for this rumble.
When the rumble has 4 robots left, then only one will get eliminated each battle until 1 remains.
The robots will be judged by the same criteria as before in the event that the match lasts the full 3 minutes.
EXPLOSIVE MODE: After 60 seconds has passed, Havok explosions can occur in the match regardless of severity.

For the last time in this tournament, builders using modular robots have got 24 hours to give me their choices. As per usual, only one weapon/robot module can be used for the entirety of the rumble.

Bit of a bump, but Modular robot builders have got about 5 hours left to send me their module choices! If there is no choice sent, then I will either go with the default version of each robot or just give an extra 12 hours for decisions!

Post by: Dark-Al on March 17, 2017, 11:55:11 AM
Best Robot: Tortuga Ninja/ Tortuga 2: Just read my previous comments on this board and you'll see why.
Worst Robot: I would put Hell Spawn here due to being useless but I can't because I can't vote for myself. So It's got to be Red Claw: What No BFEing? The Rules did state that a builder could BFE. But did this builder have anything that allows them to edit the Bot file? Despite it's
weaponry, it could of looked ascetically better, said the person who poorly skinned his bot.
Coolest Robot:Subterfuge: Love the paint job for Subterfuge and the weaponry but overall, the paint job makes this bot stand out.
Luckiest Robot: SkellaChopper: I was expecting that this bot would fall in the earlier rounds but surprisingly, it got through by not doing much.
Unluckiest Robot: Paris Train: It look like Paris Train could of gone to the later rounds, but strong match-ups prevented it from going through.
Most Destructive: Dominotrix: I don't care if ShootingPost called it junk with Eyeballs, the use of the Vlad spears and interchangeable weaponry made this opponent, a force to be reckoned with.
Least Realistic: Spoider: If this was IRL, it fail the safety inspection due to the motors being not only greatly exposed, but also the exposed wiring if bots in this game had to be wired with game wires as well.
Funniest Robot: The Sneaky Pole: No comment
Most boring Robot:The Sneaky Pole: It's funny at first, but the Sneaky Pole rumble was way too boring for my liking.
Best Battle: The First match in the reserve rumble possibly?
Edit: Fixed some grammar mistakes and included best battle.

Best Robot: Scavenger (For a robot that old to go into the final and destroy every competition it faced getting there it deserves best robot)
Worst Robot: The Sneaky Poke (For someone to give us things like the pulverisor, AORB?! and many other good robots in Banter Wars, this was kind of a disappointment as it did nothing but touch a robot once then get killed pretty easily)
Coolest Robot: The Inverter-a (Seriously its wheel pods could turn to be invertible!!! If anyone knows how Tashic did it then plz tell me, i was planning on using the inverted pods idea for my attempt at a 2016 Nightmare from Battle Bots)
Unluckiest Robot: Paris Train (got put against tough opponents, could've gone farther if not for the luck of the draw)
Luckiest Robot: Tiny Trident (For being my first DSL robot done "mostly" properly and the fact that it was half finished, with weak armour and the fact that it could probably drive so fast that it could ricochet OOTA, I'm surprised it got to the Losers Finals)
Most Destructive Robot: Dominotrix (Deadly with the interchangeable weaponry and a hard bot to stop, with weapons that could send parts flying, im pretty sure it qualifies for that)
Least Realistic Robot: Spoider (I think everyone will agree here, those motors were so exposed!!!"
Funniest Robot: The Sneaky Poke (although it is probably the worst robot, it is definitely funny to see it try and do something with that useless pole XD)
Most Boring Robot: Tank Slapper 2 And A Bit (Although it is a replica, seeing it take an age to try and get enough momentum to thwack a robot was just a bit boring)
Best Battle: Can't decide, they were all good matches and it was a great tournament

Best Robot: mister hug
Worst Robot: crash
Coolest Robot: the invertererererer
Unluckiest Robot Builder: Jamied for 1st screwing up and having to forfeit his last spot which then allowed IWTFC into the tournament, then losing to it in a rumble, and then losing to said bot in the Final  :mrgreen:
Luckiest Robot: Chaotic Reaction I guess as it mainly just spun out of harms way for the first couple of matches.
Most Destructive Robot: Turtle stronk
Least Realistic Robot: Tie between Dominotrix with the long spikes and Sneaky Poke's long stick
Funniest Robot: none
Most Boring Robot: Tankslapper

So It's got to be Red Claw: What No BFEing? The Rules did state that a builder could BFE. But did this builder have anything that allows them to edit the Bot file?
Fun fact: I did try BFE-ing Redclaw's burst arc but it just havok'd like crazy so it wasn't worth it. I'll admit it was rather sloppily-built, though. That's what I get for leaving it so late and then sh**ting out an entry at the last second :P

Best Robot: dunno
Worst Robot: The Sneaky Poke. I mean, really?
Coolest Robot: Gonna go with the crowd and say The Inverter-A with those inverting wheel pods.
Unluckiest Robot: dunno
Luckiest Robot: Chaotic Reaction, I'm still surprised it got as far as it did.
Most Destructive Robot: Hornbob Fury. That VS is not to be trifled with.
Least Realistic Robot: Spoider. What even...
Funniest Robot: Crash. Watching it tumble all over the place was hilarious.
Most Boring Robot: The Sneaky Poke. It's a box that doesn't do anything. At least mine landed a few hits and then fell over.
Best Fight: dunno

BFE it to 2.9
Anything above that'll havok it.

So you can't vote for yourself for negative things either...  Makes no sense really...

Anyway, if this'll be the case it'll change a few of my votes...

Best Robot: Ares (Shame it didn't get too far)
Worst Robot: Sneaky Poke (Half Tempted to put Tankslapper here)
Coolest Robot: Burn (As much as I'd Like to Put inverter here, one can't deny the coolness of this one)
Unluckiest Robot: Ares (It deserved more wins)
Luckiest Robot: Chaotic Reaction (How does a SnS get to the final?)
Most Destructive Robot: Turtle (Nuff sad)
Least Realistic Robot: Sneaky Poke (See also: Worst bot)
Funniest Robot: Crash (Why is this a category?  Whatever, I'll vote the one that became a small meme)
Most Boring Robot:  Tankslapper
Best Battle: I think I fell asleep half way through.

It was an amazing tournament! Here are my votes!

Best Robot: Scavenger (able to throw robots out with force, also a cool design!)
Worst Robot: Hornbob Fury (It's 259...but red? Forgive me!)
Coolest Robot: Skellachopper (It's a spinning skull of death and doom, looks awesome!)
Unluckiest Robot: Telemachus (Was orignally going to make this the boring robot but I think that's unfair. It is powerful but its reliability let it down.)
Luckiest Robot: IWTFRC (Got through on a wildcard and became the overall winner. Well played!)
Most Destructive Robot: Dominotrix (Overlooked this robot at first, it caused mayhem! That massive blow on Tortuga Ninja that sent it flying was amazing!)
Least Realistic Robot: Diatomic (It's a cool design...I'm just not sure on how realistic it is.)
Funniest Robot: The Sneaky Poke (It's a robot...with a stick. Not effective but hey, the simplicity is funny!)
Most Boring Robot: Crash (Cool design...but it just fell apart constantly. After that, robots just kept playing with the pieces!)
Best Battle: Losers Bracket Semi-Finals – Sallymandra vs Tortuga Ninja vs Hornbob Fury vs Dominotrix (4 different spinners...complete mayhem. Hornbob Fury didn't impact the fight a lot but good grief, the other robots ripped each other to shreds!)

All right, guys, there are only 24 hours left for your votes!

It is at this time that I will now throw my votes into the ring. Here goes:

Best Robot: Tortuga Ninja/Tor2ga (This menacing little turtle managed to do surprisingly well despite looking like a bit of a jokebot. Of course, the second one was significantly deadlier than the previous, and it certainly showed.  I mean, it did come second in both the Final Rumble and Main Tournament.)
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.)
Coolest Robot: The Inverter-A (Can I just ban Tashic from this award considering anything he makes is awesome? Joking aside, The Inverter-A looks awesome and was innovative with its inverting wheel pods.)
Unluckiest Robot: Ares (Honestly, I thought Ares would actually do well in the tournament. And then it got screwed over by better robots that targeted it first, which was a big shame.)
Luckiest Robot: SkellaChopper (Chaotic Reaction at least had some sort of merit to its victories. Oftentimes, Skella would sit out the fight, bumbling around and Luigi'ing.)
Most Destructive Robot: DominoTrix (Good god, this thing was a monster with its devastating modular ring spinner. Oftentimes it would either annihilate the robots or itself due to its instability.)
Least Realistic Robot: Spoider (Can't really fault anyone who voted it here. Its a shame because I really like the design of Spoider, with its scrapyard aesthetic.)
Funniest Robot: Crash (I'd vote Mister Hug in, but it wasn't seen much in the rumble. Crash takes the spot because it was a bit sh**, in all honestly, but it was hilarious watching it explode in increasingly deadlier ways.)
Most Boring Robot: TankSlapper 2 And A Bit (I mean, I love the replica of it, but it isn't that good as a fighter. It just rams an opponent or flails around slowly, which wasn't the most exciting, to be honest.)
Best Battle: Sallymandra VS Tortuga Ninja VS Hornbob Fury VS DominoTrix (Tiebreaker here, to be honest.)

Actually, to break the Best Battle deadlock, I'll change my vote for Best Battle to Losers Bracket Semi Finals, Sallymandra VS Tortuga Ninja VS Hornbob Fury VS Dominotrix.

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.
