Worst Robot: Man I am surprised by the fact my robot is getting so much hate here. The only notably bad part of her was the lifter working at the wrong times, something which I am to blame due to wiring it in the wrong fashion. But the main reasons why I am surprised are due to her battles in a grudge match and the Rumble.

I think the problem with your bot was that it sort of looked sloppy. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind your bot that much, but it didn't look like much effort had gone into it. The side panels looked flimsy because they stuck so far out from the body, the lifter on the back looked bad and when it fired it often went through the Frenzy hammer. I don't think it was bad for a newbie, and I highly recommend you open a showcase and/or actively post to it to improve your bots.

anyways, my votes:
Best Bot: Interplanetary. Just brillaint use of new age "ro1's new mod herpderp" extenders, and excellent use of interchangeable weaponry.
Worst Bot: The Living Whacked. Just... no. (the bot was slow, looked ugly, was not really in the spirit of IRL, and the way it had 4 hammers was unnecessary. Nice try baconus, hopefully you get it right next time. Keep showcasing in the meantime.
Coolest Bot: Carbonize. Just... yes, all of my yes.
Unluckiest Bot: Reading Steiner. I don't get why this was labeled a joke entry by Rob at some point, and the way it froze up suddenly was odd. We should totally block people from using Frenzy py somehow.
Most Feared Bot: John the Robbut, seemed unstoppable at first but it was proven false.
Best Battle: idk
(unofficial) Most BS bot: Stormchaser and it's drone as that drum had no real supports and just looked naff, and drones and distraction minibots = a dick blister. Frozen over is almost just as BS, but looks better and is cooler imo.

It was kinda a joke entree, to flash back to Reddit Bots.  But that is the end of the Whacker Series.

It was a ****ing sh** joke. It simply was not funny, looked straight-faced and serious, and was a absolute disgrace in a IRL tournament. Get. Out. (But in less edgy terms, continue to showcase bots and improve so this never happens again, and prove me wrong.)

I will pretend your opinion is not there.  But will continue to showcase.

There's been worse bots entered into IRL tournaments that were serious entries, so get of your high horse and stop bothering people who entered. He has nothing to prove to you because you are a ****ing bellend. Fair enough I can't say that I am entirely thrilled about the bot Baconus entered, but it's nothing to get so tightly wound up about.

Edit:  I think this is turning into a flame war :(

Ignoring opinions achieves nothing. Working on those opinions to improve your bots will.
To begin with, the hammer below the bar seemed unnecessary and unrealistic. The bar moved too slowly for any major damage, so you only could wear things down which made it harder to knock other bots out. The spin up time was too long, so look into changing the motor or lowering the weapon weight. I personally recommend taking off the underslung bar hammers. Try and make the bot look neater with a more bland skin till you learn to use custom texture skins. The slot decals were a good attempt but they made the skin look a bit ugly, but I could see what you were going for by having them kinda match up with the armor panels. Next time, maybe consider using some edge lines added as this should make it look slightly better in my opinion. Perhaps try a shell spinner instead of the bar, so you don't have to put the hammer on the bottom of the bar?

He has nothing to prove to you because you are a ****ing bellend. Fair enough I can't say that I am entirely thrilled about the bot Baconus entered, but it's nothing to get so tightly wound up about.


Actually, he can improve and defeat me in another tournament, proving he has succeeded and that my harsh criticism was unnecessary, therefore having something to prove. Also, I am getting "wound up" by it because it felt like he was trying to explain it away as a joke, when it felt like a way of getting out of improving. Also, you saying i am a "****ing bellend"? No sh**, Sherlock. This is the way i dispense advice: caustic, with a side order of opinions. Due to being in a hurry I was not capable of properly putting in advice, so I decided to write this post to give some ideas and thoughts on how to either improve the bot or give Baconus some ideas on what to do next. Apologies for failing to give advice with the criticism, Baconus.

Anyways, apologies to Baconus for the 'spirited' comments, but good luck with the next tournament you enter and I hope we get to face each-other at somepoint.

At the risk of a warning... You dispense advice like a cunt, act like one too, and again seem to think beating you in a fight would be a mark of progression, which is irrelevant. How about instead of leaving a vitriolic post and making sure you bold and italicise "Get. OUT." just right, you use that time instead to leave the advice or constructive criticism you 'didn't have time for'.

It would have him beat one of his biggest detractors and someone who has had it out for him since day one: cathartic and allows him to seek advice from others and would ensure I had no reason to act like a "cunt" to him, which I have toned down now to give some better advice: first comes the hatred and salt, secondly the decent advice. Unfortunately these often end up in desperate posts but eventually they get some advice so there is a benefit to it all.

Okay, can we just all shut the hell up before this flame war goes out of bleedin' control and someone gets banned? Baconus' entry was not a good joke entrant, we get it, you don't need to relentlessly go at each-others throats as this is getting ridiculous. Avalanche, I get that you want to give Baconus_Yum criticism, I understand that, but being a total prick about it is not the way to go about it. Now can we all stop measuring eachother's d*cks before someone is banned?

Also, there's over 48 hours left for awards.

Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.

If anyone continues this off-topic discussion any more, they'll get a warning. I'm tempted to just apply a warning to Ava, anyway, as he went OTT for no good reason, but I'll give everyone a verbal warning first.
