Im confused. How does this work exactly?

And why are there LW, MW, HW and SHW in there, not just 1 class? :P

I pick Evil. He won the last AI for-fun tourney i did, beating Diarehha of A Madman, losing to Crash Test 2, beating Hazardous Contraption, Mako, Crash Test 2, Patriot 2, Guard Duty, and Mikado 2 in the Finals.

I know this tournament is just for fun, but still bots from one weight class should only fight other bots of the same weight class.  Its just common sense.

I think Death Star will win this because of its sheer power compared to the rest of the competitors.

Crosswind is my only bot in this?  That's disappointing, also because it looks like it will lose its first match, but I still think it can get a couple of wins.


Preliminary predictions:

Hellish Charm > Undeadbeat - Undeadbeat won't be able to keep Hellish Charm in its grasp long enough to de-shell it.

Weapon Array > Francium - Francium is fast, but Weapon Array is powerful enough to keep Francium away.

Caesium > Code Yellow - It all comes down to weaponry, and Code Yellow just doesn't have enough.

Marvin > Critical Emergency - Neither of them are really great, but CE just doesn't have the strength to throw Marvin out of the arena.

Fast 'N Furious > Ramjet - Popup vs. rammer, 'nuff said.

Cataclysm 2 >Pyrotechnic Display 3.1 - Pyrotechnic Display just isn't stable enough to get to the vulnerable center of Cataclysm.
Tournament Record: 94 Wins - 50 Losses
Challenge Record: 2 Wins - 2 Losses

Well, there are only a handful of LWs, MWs, and SHWs.

Lol the new Quasar is so much better than Death Star.  Though I think Death Star should have a chance being SHW.

Haven't gotten much of a chance to watch the videos. My advice is to try to edit out all of the menu stuff, and just have the battles.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

In Windows Movie Maker, you can Split clips whenever you want. Split them right before the countdown starts for a battle, and delete what is before it.

it comes with your OS if you have windows, it should be on your computer somewhere, check your program files if you have no shortcuts to it
