Title: Robot MPire: Series 4

The fourth instalment of the MPire brings bigger, better, braver machines to the arena. See the return of old favourites including some new faces, as they attempt to dethrone the reigning champion, Nightmare. Robot MPire mainstay Killdozer returns to push the opposition over the edge in the sumo event, whilst more robots aim to be the king when they tackle up towards the hill. With weaponry getting more and more powerful throughout the years, so have the machines themselves, and what better way than to put them all together in the single elimination tournament, attempting to earn the shiny trophy and be officially declared the Robot MPire champion. This Robot MPire is promising to be the most deadliest series yet.

This is like a time capsule into the early days of the DSL-IRL meta, a lawless wasteland full of bizarre or unrefined designs. Steel Terror would never be allowed into most current tournaments purely for having three bursts, even though its design is so inefficient that most 2-burst flippers would put it to shame.

how come the heats are set up so the seeds meet in round 2? doesn't that defeat the purpose of seeding them?

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in Robot MPire: Series 4, to whoever liked and disliked the series. I can confirm that while series 5 will happen, it will also be the last. You may remember a few years ago, there was a side-series entitled Overload, which features many side-event tournaments, the penultimate Overload 2 is the next stop!

Post by: F1Krazy on January 20, 2020, 07:39:02 AM

I'm gonna gather together some of my more popular and/or entertaining builds and throw them in for Overload. I'll send over the latest version of Deathstalker as well, for when Series 5 rolls around.
