Migrane - looks cool
Dan - One of the robots I was considering entering with was an HS (it was Potedon) but it wasn't very fun to drive so I didn't
Freezing Phoenix - I assume this is a WBP bot?
Ground Zero Evo - looks kinda tall and awkward, but we'll see
Cooling Down - I'll probably lose to this since it doesn't seem to have weapons
Paradise - Interesting
Exactly Lethal - Why is it so long?  Must be compensating for something
St. Manticore - Weird wedges, but cool

Some strengths and weaknesses I notice from each bots design (not counting driver skill, which is just as important as the design)

Strengths
Migraine - great trapping ability and good drive
Dan - great damage, weapon motor is powerful, resistant to flanking
Freezing Phoenix - WBP factor and very nimble and tiny
Ground Zero EVO - updraft can be useful to keep opponents off the ground, tracks are durable
Cooling Down - invulnerable from the front, heavy (325kg), by far the strongest drive
Paradise - surprisingly stable, great wedge quality and coverage
Exactly Lethal - powerful weapon, good wedge
St. Manticore - wedge coverage, good weapon

Weaknesses
Migraine - super wide for the octagon (risky with all the hazards), mediocre weapon
Dan - unstable, bad self-righting
Freezing Phoenix - pretty uncontrollable
Ground Zero EVO - low damage, unstable
Cooling Down - no dmg, vulnerable flanks
Paradise - low damage, weak drive for control bot
Exactly Lethal - super narrow, hard to get and stay under opponents
St. Manticore - weak drive, mediocre wedges
