[Badnik96]

I'm pretty confident I can win the wildcard unless 027 gets under me and slams me OOTA or SM spins me OOTA or gut rips me.

Anyway- PREDICTIONS
Valid Query 2- Neat pusher, should go far
Ripshredder- One of the 2 SFTW's.
HnM 5.2- Of course it will go far, it's HnM!
Atilla Revolution- Hard to hit but not very armed.
Focus Fire- HEY LOOK IT'S REVOLUTIONIST WITH FIRE AND INVERTABILITY and should do well.
Fever- Should do as well as it's mega and mini versions.
Bulldozer 2- Should flip a lot of bots OOTA.
Repulsion Field-Not bad for inplabth's second tourney entry. Still a bad RPP Ripoff though
1001 Problems- the other SFTW.
Titanium Terror-HEY LOOK IT'S CUBE TANK. The third and final SFTW but it's good to see Hydro building again.
Scarlet Transmission- A nice SnS, might not go far though
Clowning Around 2- As the only juggler it's OK but does it really stand a chance?
GRinder- For DG's first tournament it isn't bad, I expect it to chew up a lot of wedges.
75.5 ?iouQ tE- As irons aren't as good on popups this won't get too far.
Devil May Spin 3- Why isn't it blue and green? Might make it to round 2 but I doubt it. Not a SFTW though.

Wild Card-
S=FTW HEY LOOK IT'S A HW MAMMOTH. Shouldn't win unless those drums spin faster than Mammoth's.
Lord of the Locusts 2.1- Not my best HW but Red Dragon didn't seem right for this tourney. Should win unless the above happens.
Rain Rain Go Away!- Average rammer, my brother's getting better but I doubt he will win.

[powerrave]

Scarlet Transmission- A nice SnS, might not go far though

=[
oh well, i'm used to not getting far, but would be fun if i could knock out some bots.

[JoeBlo]

Valid Query 2- awesome realistic look
Ripshredder- another realistic looker but thats LW grade weaponry
HnM 5.2- well its been talked up enough?, props for not spamming that ghey skirt hinge Armour on it
Atilla   Revolution- good passive robot... will do well in early stages of the rumbles but fall in the later parts
Focus Fire- not another fire SnS.... it has a extra surprise, I was hoping to show before this but Thyrus is to fast
Fever- basically the arch rival of Focus Fire =P
Bulldozer 2-   looks cool, I hope the batts are up to it
Repulsion Field- naww someone loves 123stw =P
1001   Problems- ummm interesting ?
Titanium Terror- HEY LOOK IT'S NON-CUBIC CUBE TANK.
Scarlet   Transmission- the right line of thinking for rumbles.. I will say that much
Clowning Around 2-   looks cool but not sure if it can KO quick enough for rumbles (In other words I think it will be caught off guard)
Grinder-   D: my name for POW haz been stolen.. another interesting concept 
75.5 ?iouQ tE- speed could be an issue.. or the lack of it :/ I dont know for sure
Devil May Spin 3- :O no more epic bodyslamming ??

Wild Card-
S=FTW- low weapon count but it could fling if it spins fast enough
Lord of the Locusts 2.1- its not bad but I can see it tumbling oota easy of something wedged hits it
Rain Rain Go Away!- im going to go out on a limb and pick this as my favorite to win.. I just have that feeling :/

[Thyrus]

Focus Fire- not another fire SnS.... it has a extra surprise, I was hoping to show before this but Thyrus is to fast

I`m sorry :x

[Squirrel_Monkey]

S=FTW de-shell many shell spinners easily. Perm-132 drums.

[Naryar]

PREDICTIONS

Valid Query 2: Average to decent rammer. Drive probably is going to betray it, or a gut-ripper.

Shredder: Pitifully lacking in the weapon department. Won't get far unless facing the other SFTW's

Hope no More 5.2: If only i had assed myself enough to get better wedges i would have destroyed the whole competition like the 3.1 version did. But NO ! Stupid AGOD !

Attila Revolution: Probably not a revolution in combat efficiency though.

Focus Fire: Relatively good bot (but not original anymore) that will however get destroyed by the better fighters.

Fever: Best VS in the competition. I think i can beat it though.

Bulldozer 2: Cue the very original name... It looks pretty good overall but depends of wedges. And arena.

Repulsion Field: As Badnik said, bad RPP ripoff. Not the worst though.

1001 Problems: I don't know if there are that much problems on the bot but ... Weapon isn't powerful enough and the axe won't be doing much. Robot Wars is not RA2 !

Titanium Terror: It's certainly not going to terrify anyone in the field there... Slow and fail weapons.

Scarlet Transmission: Average SnS that quite lacks in drive train.

Clowning Around 2: A rather good juggler that could be better, but still i don't want this to outwedge me :P

Grinder: ANOTHER super original name and rather decent design from a skilled newbie. Probably going to fair decently unless against some of the bots (like mine :P)

*annoying bot name*: Not exceptionally well built but decent enough. I just hope it doesn't outwedges me :P

Devil May Spin 3: Decent to average FS, nothing more really.

WILDCARD

S=FTW: Really bears well it's name... what is this massive weapon failure ?

Rain Rain Go Away: You probably can't do more generic... but the best of the 3 wildcard entrants imo.

Lord of Locusts 3: So very unoriginal. Not even a really good design by today's standards :P

[JoeBlo]

but not original anymore

Ye Of Little Faith

its me were talking about..

[Badnik96]

lol, I made LotL 2.1  in 15 minutes, I just wanted to enter.

[Naryar]

Thyrus, you might want to correct the typo in the title. It's "Splash" not "Spalsh"

[Squirrel_Monkey]

S=FTW de-shelled Grog, The Ressurection in 40 or so seconds.

[JoeBlo]

lol, I made LotL 2.1  in 15 minutes,

funny how your own opinions change once people start saying something different 

[martymidget]

Clowning Around 2: A rather good juggler that could be better, but still i don't want this to outwedge me :P

Lol, it outwedges HNM4 50:50. Can't ko it, but it takes off its wheels. Mwahahaha. How good are the new ones wedges compared?:P

I could do OK in this, as long as I'm not against Fever, Grinder and anything that outwedges it and get killed/flipped OOTA or on its back and as such lose The Game.

Good luck all :D

[Thyrus]

@ nary: I knew something was wrong with this word, thanks :)


Valid Query 2- Very powerful pusher but its speed could be its downfall
Ripshredder- The flywheel won`t do much demage ass well the two pistonpowered ironfists at its back
HnM 5.2- one of the bot to look out for. May the most feared bot in this but let`s see how it acts in rumbles
Atilla   Revolution - Well amored but the wheels are exposed. without wheels it wont drive far.
Focus Fire - cool design but don`t know how it will do.
Fever- powerfull VS but easy to get outbalanced
Bulldozer 2-  very powerfull flipper. It`s  the underdog to watch out for
Repulsion Field- can do some damage but could get into trouble cause of its size
1001   Problems- The udated version of it is ways better then the original. Still the 4 pigletWD was better
Titanium Terror- Slowly slowly and lagy
Scarlet   Transmission- Don`t know how that one will get problems by multiattacks
Clowning Around 2 - will get far I guess but can be outweged in a rumble
Grinder- Huge but can do some damage. It`s very good for a first tourney entry
75.5 ?iouQ tE - *laughs at naryars namedescription* looks like a poor version of HnM but will get far I think
Devil May Spin 3- I like the invertibility (100%  written wrong I guess) it cool here. could get in trouble in the rumbles

Wild Card-
S=FTW- loosing it`s wheels very easy I think. can do crawler damage.
Lord of the Locusts 2.1- Powerfull spinner but has huge problemes with drive I think.
Rain Rain Go Away!- I like that one since its just simple but cool somehow. I`m looking forward to see how it will do against his brother

[Naryar]

Still the 4 pigletWD was better

AHAHAHAHA

[Thyrus]

I knew you would "like" that.

[martymidget]

4wd Piglets? What did it have in the first place if thats "Better" :S

[Thyrus]

hammers faced in the other direction  and spinner turned in the other direction. he improved that with the update.
