Sees my Robot- looking good.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.
Sees everyone elses bots- welp, I'm not going last long.
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.Sees my Robot- looking good.I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

That's what I keep saying but DoT insists otherwise. I guess we'll see.
Poor Tortuga. 2 frenzies and a minion disc. ASBS should be fine but the turtle looks to be soup.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.
Dang, Eliminator Eight looks pretty stacked. Not enjoying having to fight any of them more than one time.Yeah that spinner madness in 8 looks wild.

Raus is back, motherBLOOPers.
Oh when it goes Mauler, it goes Mauler hard. Just needs the right counter. (Originally meant the tourney Tortuga vs Supremo but oh well too late now.)
After Action Report:ahem
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.

Great match Jamie. And It's hard not to cheer for Crash.twas a great battle.

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

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)Sorry, lad, but you can't vote for yourself in an award unless its for the Best Battle award. You're gonna have to choose someone else for this.

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.
yeah didn't make my post lighthearted/just a joke enough. sorry man, your logic is fair enough.
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.
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.Worst Robot: Hell Spawn 1.2 (I'm honestly surprised this hasn't got a vote considering its no-win record.

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
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:
