Flood XL-C vs inVAsion vs Lobsteriffic
Hello darkness, my old friend...

I've come to talk with you again...

Kurt, it's going to be one of us two getting nuked in the opening round. inVAsion is obscene.

I did try to encourage people not to re-enter stuff from Redditbots by making the weightclass awkward but some people are pretty persistent.

Admittedly, I made Flood XL for this tournament- it was coincidence that Rob resurrected Sword of Glory at the same time. That's the reason why XL-H looks a bit more... slapdash than XL-C.

Disagreeing with you Famoguy. It's not that difficult to run a new build up, and makes the fights so much more exciting when everyone hasn't seen the bots in action before.

Agent Orange - What happend to RedAce and his bulding skills? This must be the worst looking bot coming from you.

Got a slight chance assuming Fusion Reactor doesn't go after me first.

I love Evil Art Project, f'real.

I had a slightly more interesting set of decals/paint job for mine, I hope I sent it in time for the fights! I think I forgot to resubmit a picture, so I'm assuming that's why it shows up in my basic black. :p

Honestly thinking Zlammer could beat ze Witch. Reaper also has me a little worried because it's so mysterious looking...

Really hoping I get to advance to face Gadreel, at least! It's a wild little machine.

Some great looking bots in this.

The heat Billet 9 looks tough too. Just FYI, Billet 9 has a 6Mag motor for the weapon, the most powerful one for it's style I think.

I think I have a good chance in my heat.

Well...As long as Duck Fury doesn't destroy everyone.   :baffled:
I have several opinions.

Great job on the imagery - you're giving the Rake almost more grace than it deserves :smile:

A Piece of Rake is an entirely different bot than the one fighting in Redditbots though. Besides that, I'm just here to boogy - don't care how far it comes, as long as it's entertaining.

Ok..
 Lookin at my heat... my competitors seem to be well... gamma is going to be hard... bullet bot... not so hard... anyway.. if deathstalker passes the first round.... there is a problem... he will surely hit my extenders that hold the motor and motor will fall off. I just hope that he does not pass the 1st round.

Also Craaig. If you are planning to "air" second season.. please raise the weight limitation (like rw reboot did), like up to 800 kgs.

Some observations I have in my heat (F).

1. My robot, Bullet Bot, looks absolutely gorgeous compared to when I originally sent her in. Top marks to the people who skinned these robots, but there is one concern I have to raise: it says "Bullet Bob" on the top. No problem though, it is another, longer word for "Kate", of course (Blackadder II, anyone?).

2. Under normal circumstances (i.e. a one on one battle), my robot would probably be the weakest in the heat (and possibly the series as a whole). But, as usual, I somehow have one small crumb of comfort: we start with a melee. Although Gamma and Duke are far more competitive robots than Bullet Bot is, the AI could still force them to battle, with one of them losing the encounter. Meanwhile, Bullet Bot progresses in a Foxic or Mighty Mouse esque victory.

3. The best I can achieve is the head to head stage, as the other robots in this stage will likely prove too much for Bullet Bot.

4. Lastly, it blows my mind that Bullet Bot is 7kg HEAVIER than Deathstalker! It is not because the latter is bad or anything (it's good), I am just wondering why Bullet Bot is so bloody heavy despite boasting a compact design!

Some nice looking bots, however a lot of bar spinners at the same time.
Mobility as Strenght?! But it uses weapon motor drive, well guess there was nothing else.
The robots in Heat D do seem to be possible, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended in Round 1 already.

Most likely heavier armor.

Really, some outrageously good looking stuff here. Might be the first tournament where I watch just about everything.
