Next year, we will be voting on the bot file some of the time.....NEVER on a custom bot tho.
Now how will there be a "Railed Vehicle" BOTM?  :P

I purely entered this tourny for fun - im facing Dark Pounder with a 3mm Ali wedge ram bot in the first round - wonder how that will end :P
I was thinking of having a small spike slightly poking out the front of Hunter to do a bit of damage but the weight wouldnt let meh :P
Ahh well, least i may be able to go for most realistic or summin like tat  :gawe:
Yeah, yours is definitely one of the best looking I've seen, Wham. But there is a possiblity that you could slide under Dark Pounder's bar with Hunter's wedge, and push it around the arena. It looks low enough to the ground to do so.

Yeah, it was pretty bad, the boos must have been huge, they're still obvious with the cheers dubbed over.
I'm actually surprised they didn't play on it in a more possitive way, make a proper grudge out of it, have the storm team go on a proper crusade against the typhoon team and the producers, then again i'm starting to make it sound like wrestling  :laughing
It's kinda funny how they rigged it for tornado to win, but one season later and they're doing all they can to stop the rammer type bots winning  :laughing

And didn't one of the judges say something about regeting giving it to typhoon later?
That last part is true, actually! Once the judges found out about the damage Typhoon 2 had a little while later, they actually sent the Storm team individual letters of apology   :approve:
Awww, that made me quite happy actually.
What happened to stop them from seeing that damage though, the show showed them giving the bots a good look over :confused: .
I think I heard that the typhoon team did cover up parts actually, but I don't know if that's true because surely they would have had any prize money taken off them.
I don't know...especially when they threw that chain up to the control pods. And it's terrible to realise that the Typhoon team were practically lying to save face and get the money, really. And then at the same time, they had the nerve to make out they were completely undamaged! If I were Gary Cairns (The team captain), I'd be ashamed.

No worries about it. Mine's just over the UK featherweight category in real life.

Storm 2's treatment was disgusting. First the Producers forced the team to put on an active weapon, then they put it in a Heat with 2 feared spinners Shredder and Supernova. Then they tried to disqualify it after its fight with Firestorm, claiming it never used its weapon and supposedly broke the rules. Then they raised the pit back up for Tornado, then they allowed Typhoon 2 to repair its weapon and didnt let the Judges know about this or the dislodged drivechains at the end of the fight.
Quoted for truth. And then there's also how the audience were booing so much at the decision that they had to edit cheers in to make Storm II look like the bad guys!
 
+1 for the valid points raised, by the way   :claping

You know, since the playground seems to be the cause of the most dispute regarding forum quality....

...you could always get rid of it  :evilsmile:

Hmmm, to post troll face or not...


If that happens, I may leave.
Same here, actually.

So I'm up against Whirligig in Round 1? Right.
It depends on how fast Whirligig can get up to speed and if it can flip over and hit Purse's lid. From what I can see though, it looks a bit weak, so if I can flip it around enough to cause damage, I could possibly OOTA it or damage it enough to win.
 
If it does happen, it should then probably put me against Dizzy Dragon, Hazard, and Dark Steel. I initially got Dark Steel and Dark Pounder confused, which had me worried, but from looking now, I see that none of my opponents can self-right.
 
However, Hazard looks like it has an OK wedge, so I'll have to watch out for it depending on the speed and power of its bar and whether it can KO me before I can flip it.

But before you do that, I'll reduce 360 to floating Space Junk before the day is done  :approve:

Of which I won't be one of them. >=D
Want to bet?   :evilsmile:
Them sounds like fighting words. :evilsmile:
Then if we do end up fighting, I'll have you flipped over before you can say "Llanfairpwllgwyngyll"   :laughing

Here's the oldest bot I still have. I remember making about 2 before this, one being a crappy MW axe and the other being an even crappier LW. Here it is, the worst and oldest bot I have. Introducting...

GF93, that is a very good rep.
Cool Rep, Goldenfox! I love It! :approve:
Thanks guys! I didn't think it looked all that great, myself. But hopefully, I'll get a couple of opponents over whilst I'm in there   :claping

Ah yes, of course. By that, I was saying that Scrap's replica was very well painted.

Herr Gepounden- I like how Scrap did the paintjob for this one. That pole looks vunerable to breakages, though.
wat?
By that, I mean that it looks good, but its pole (On which the hammer is situated) looks a bit brittle. In other words, might break at a crucial moment.

360- The disc weapon looks pretty dangerous, and as long as it can stay on its wheels, I can see this one winning its bout.
Jo Mama- Potent-looking weaponry, but I'm not certain whether its wedge will work. Nice work on the belts, though.
Herr Gepounden- I like how Scrap did the paintjob for this one. That pole looks vunerable to breakages, though.
Dizzy Dragon- Very Pink, and quite interesting with the full-circle protection from the beater bars. How strong are they, though?
Dark Steel- An angled HS- its weaponry doesn't look too durable, and the weapon system design may leave it vunerable to flippers, I fear.
Sloth- An interesting VS design, but looks a bit topheavy.
Missing Link- I have a feeling that those exposed motors will be its downfall.
Hazard- Nice paintwork and wedge, but how powerful is that bar on its own?
Mighty Mouse- I like the ears on this one, and as long as its drive is fast, I can see this one scoring points. But how good is that rollcage?
Scutlet- Sorry Stag. The pasteuriser gets the SFTW vote from me. A good try at remaking it, though.
Whirligig- A nice-looking Thwackbot design. Can it flip over like it can in real life, though?
Doctor Inferno Junior- Definitely one of the best-looking replicas here, but might be a little bit topheavy.
Death by Monkeys- Those spikes look potent, but their effectiveness depends on the strength of the drive.
Cassius- A reincarnation of Cassius II from the previous series, perhaps? Anyway, its flipping arm can be effective if it's sufficiently powerful, but can it avoid damage long enough to line up a killer blow?
Mr. Self Destruct- Not much'll be getting to those wheels, that's for certain! Strong-looking Bar Weaponry, too.
Hunter- I love the paintjob, but I doubt it'll survive too long in the arena without weapons and hazards.
Disc-O-Inferno- I really don't like the paintjob for this one- Disc-O wasn't pure green. Nevertheless, its disc looks pretty scary.
Twisted Metal EVO- Nice paintwork here, but as with Disc-O-Inferno above, its disc power depends on the motor.
Dark Pounder- Well, it's obvious Pwn made this one   :approve:
Anyway, as long as its wedge is good, I can see this one as one of the favourites.
Dragonstrike- Deutscheman's disc spinner looks good with its paintwork, but it might be vunerable to propping on its back.
Hvispila- The bars look like powerful assets on a Perm, but I wonder about its functionality when Upside-down.
Explosion- This flipper looks well-defended under its armour, and as long as its flipper power lives up to its name, I can see it winning Round 1 at least.
Aggrovated Assault- Interesting to see how my friend the Snow-Miser managed to cram four-wheel drive into it, but with only a shovel for weaponry, it might be at a disadvantage.
Hkasa- Reminds me of the first Wedge of Doom, in a way. It looks like a good pusher, but it'll go nowhere fast if it ends up flipped.
Purple Plasma- An interesting design with invertability and flipper weaponry, but it looks underdefended.
DTK- I like how this one looks, and how it can damage with its beater bar flipper. I don't know if the wedges will get in the flipper's way, though.
Raizer Blade- Now that's what I call a replica paintjob. As long as its armour holds out, this one could do well.
Gemini- Siamese twins? Joking aside, interesting double-end flipper weapons, but it looks vunerable to flippers and flanking.
Purse- This one could be one to watch, considering how low it is to the ground and the power of its flipper.
Tentomushi- Another one of the potential favourites, Joe's smotherbot could do some good damage with that Ziggo Sheck.
Junkyard Dog- Ah, so not the box on wheels with the pnuematic ram, then? Nonetheless, It looks interesting, but where are the weapons?
Matkia- Depends on the power of its flipper in relation to its armour and speed.

Hm, mostly spinners, just as I thought. I'll post thoughts in a few moments.

If anything, it'll be worth it to see whether NFX and Joe's entries look ripe for flipping  :approve:

Bollocks, I was winning for a short time too.

On the other hand, I did a lot better than I should have.  That entry was a last minute attempt that I more or less threw together in a few minutes.  Good job Joe with the win.

I will win one of these!
No worries, your Mark 1 "Landship" was definitely the next best thing, and got my vote for sure. Did you know that the first of those tanks were originally built in my hometown?   :approve:
