I'll be the temporary official match commenter...until I go to sleep.

The ramplates didn't help much on madman's bot, it seems. The first match was starting to turn around near the end, but to no avail. Good job to Vertigo and madman, and good luck to Vertigo and NFX in their round 2 matches.

Wow, NFX's bot just refused to take any damage...Crazed Surgeon slid right under, but never seemed to get any decent hits in, on the chassis or the components.

090901, great job on remembering to switch the slots for each battle, that's great.

*is really happy right here, not just because he won, but also because of the music that accompanied his victory*

Okay, Wildcard 2: Wacky Bob did a lot worse than I thought, mostly because Red Sky at Morning went for it he whole time. It could have easily dispatched the two HS. Otherwise, no surprise. Nice to see Sage's bot was just unstable, but didn't Havok. Although I guess that was disappointing at the same time.

Final: Awesome Havok by Jonzu that got it away from the action for a while. :P REALLY surprised to see I didn't get any wheels knocked off with my hugging the wall half the time. Tornado did surprisingly bad...

Exciting way to start off the tournament with all the Havoks and upsets. Not that it affected my bot in *these* two matches, but I think it has Wallhugger AI. xD (Edit: Nevermind Geice beat me at something again)

I really didn't deserve to win. Since I originally was part of the main bracket, I spent quite some time on a Poker when I got pushed down to the Wildcard, so I had to throw a rumble-oriented bot together rather quickly with little thought put into it. If anything, Sage's bot should at least have come second in the final, but my bot staying away from the fight half the time and Jonzu's Havoking away prevented that, I guess. Too bad Click and Bob's non-has/popup bots didn't make it through either.

Thank you Conraaa, for saving me from Pytosis.

My heart was pounding at the beginning when Pytosis headed straight for me...I was sure it was going to be a OHKO, or at least damage to my control board. Turns out I didn't even lose any chassis health or get a motor/the snowplow knocked off.

Oh and nice havok Conraaa. xD

Thoughtless predictions so I can laugh at myself later. Also for me to learn about which bot characteristics beat out other ones that are different from what I initially believed.

lawl my bot is sooooo bad

Silver Iron Pounder: Good eFFeing and stuff, but too much empty space and not invertible, plus Grannies. The paintjob doesn't give off a very professional vibe either.
S.O.ll.S.: I hate it. It has a decent paintjob though.
Pytosis: Oh God the one that won ROBONOVA GO AWAY D: Hopefully it'll get teamed up on in the wildcard rumble.
Birdhouse in Your Soul: More HS stuff. Nice chassis shape, I guess.
Red Sky at Morning: Dunno how it'll perform in a rumble with two HS. In my experience HP Z-teks can't really flip MWs so I wouldn't put much money on this one.
Tornado: It's amazing. And hopefully not invertible. If it has 18 maces; S_M got trolled. :P
Circuit Breaker: Interesting. Doesn't look too good against popups, but fortunately there are none in that wildcard, rather top-exposed motors so it has a good chance of surviving the first round.
Spiral Gate: WOW I had a terrible perception of Jonzu's building level. Much better than what I'd expect. Undercutting spinners look dangerous...exposed motors not so much.
Blazing Thunder: Drive motors way too exposed. Might do well with popups though.
Gicquel: This is very interesting. Shallow chassis wedge, rubber wheels...decent and very unique.
Faithless: Again, changed perception of builder. Like the name and design. Well-armoured too, pretty good.
Snap!Happy 6.3: Nice and compact; looks very professional. I really like this one.
Packie MW 2: Wait, didn't I just...? No wait, that was Pytosis. See what I said for Pytosis....oh wait, that doesn't work either. Nice skin, I guess? Strangely long chassis, though.
RepulsoR: Y CONNECTORS?? The motors come a long distance off of the bot, so it might not get enough time to spin up at the beginning of a match versus faster bots. The wheels aren't protected much because of this either. It's OK.
Saharan Warrior: RPJK has improved a lot. Nice to see some defense; it's alright.
18 HS: By far the best name in the tournament. Well-built and not-RAD drive is nice, though I don't have much liking for one wheelers....it always looks like their spinners slow down while they're rotating.
My Level of Building: I guess it can kind of ram and aim for extenders on HS. Now why does the paintjob look familiar?
L3ak: Hi Geice. Will do well as long as it doesn't face the two bots with non-Snapper II double wedges.
Grubby Joe 3: It's not that bad. Strange weapon setup on the spinners though...I see a single Iron Spike on one of the tribar arms. o_O
Paramecium-I: This was what I was going for with my bot, basically. Again, undercutting spinners look dangerous. One of my favourites.
blaarg: Cool chassis. Don't see three-spinnered SNS much in the MW class. Nice and unique.
Crazed Surgeon: Pyscolone popup....? DDT wedge is good, I guess...might get lucky with some OHKOs with HS.
SmStorm 5n5+orm SnCtorm SnStorm: Yay more cool chassis. Looks good, not much more to say. Better than HS versus popups.

Overall: WOOOOO popups and HS.

Right for pretty much everything. But I wear my watch on the right as well. Anyone else do that?

I do. People always tell me I'm "supposed" to wear it on my left hand since I'm right-handed, but I really don't care. I just like it better on my right hand.

It's stated that only 1 in 10 people are left-handed

Well yeah, whyever would someone not write with their right hand? (plus it's the right hand...God forbid how messy my writing would be if I used my wrong hand)

Click, it's not the same thing as BFE because it's done in-game.

True, but the final result is (almost) the same as BFE, and I think we should judge these kinds of things on what they do rather than how to do them. I'm really just seeing this as a branch off of BFE, a bit less potent and done in a different way. Anything having to do with it pretty much also has to do with BFE...if it's legalized in tourneys, so is BFE bar components outside the chassis and whatnot, because no one can tell the difference between the two methods. If BFE is banned right now, then so should Hax Mode if released, at least in regular tourneys.

I'm just surprised that it's only now that everyone is planning these "Super-Stacked" tournaments when those competitions could be easily done using BFE instead (again, without components outside the chassis).

I feel like if this is released it'll be like some newbie says they've discovered a new glitch and it turns out they've just re-released BFE to the public.

Yeah, what you have now is Snapper -> Extender -> Extender -> HPZ -> Tribar -> Extender -> Extender -> Razor which if you count up is 8 connections. Now, the only thing you can get rid of is one of the extenders between the Snapper and the HPZ. Your choices include a red/black extender instead of two, a Y connector, or a T connector. (a red/black extender saves 3 kg of weight)

For future revisions you can try trimming the chassis with a
  ______
 |          |
/_______\ shape rather than
    ______
 _|           |_
|_________|

The smartzone seems a bit far forward, at this point it looks more like a hammer than a popup. Unless, of course, that's what you were going for.

We have thwack, which is one arm, we have SnS, which is two or more arms......is there any differente between SnS and FBS besides chassis size?

FBS tend to look something like this:



DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT WHAT A GOOD FULL BODY SPINNER LOOKS LIKE

They kind of work like the NCR glitch, actually, in the sense that the chassis spins and the drive is static.

NFX I was in awe at the weights until #6. :P

#3 is exactly like my RL entry, just with a black.



(I haven't entered it yet because it's one I'm going to AI by myself)

#4 is....strange. Low power servo drive? Or if it's just for a compact chassis, why not Snapper IIs?
