Number 3 might be Gripper, one of the old Roaming Robots house bots. But I not 100% sure about this one due to photos of it looking more like Growler less like the photo in 3.
Doesn't look like Gripper unless Gripper got reshelled at some point. Gripper basically looked like budget growler.

Sort of broke my own philosophy with Bocuma II in that I didn't spend hours getting the wedge perfect. Thought it was 'good enough' but evidently not. Been working on it a bit more trying to get it lower, though I don't think I can really beat an E-Wedge like that no matter what I do without going COMPLETELY Un-IRL (It's questionable whether or not the small wedges on skirt hinges that I have now are IRL anyway). Also 3 bursts seem to be better than two, so much so that Avalanche broke his own definition of IRL to use them  .
Id be a moron to not match the current IRL meta. At least I didn't go the Delta route and use 3 betas or long pneumatic bursts 
TIL E Wedges are the current IRL meta.
hey I need those wedges my robot is worthless without them if I go against anyone who has them or other component hinge wedges.
But Avalanche I thought skirt hinge wedges were Un-IRL
my issue is with skirts as in the long ridiculously thin wedges. Component wedges aren't certain to go under, and can be damaged easier imo. I can agree on them not being exactly IRL though so I'll try and phase them out of my builds.
Lol I'm trying to wind you up. I've used them on my bot too, though I'm trying to phase them out though.

Loser's Bracket: Can't argue with that judges decision. Looked good at the start when I outwedged Toxin, but once he got round the side it was all over. Winner's Bracket: The miracle run continues. I look forward to the final.

I don't know how I keep winning.

Aftershock is a really good bot but I kinda doubt it will win. if a good flipper tosses it on it's back it could do alot of damage to it self
The problem is gonna be a good flipper reaching the grand final. There's only 5 flippers left and they're in pretty stacked heats.

Fight Rundowns: MW: Fight 1: Pretty uneventful this one, and not an unexpected result. Mr Stabby's flying attack to conveniently snip Labrys' Axe off was pretty cool though. Fight 2: Holy sh** it happened again. Caldera surprisingly did EXACTLY what it was designed to do. That's 2-0 Demon  Fight 3: Poor old Inverter. It's such a cool looking bot but it just cannot catch a break. The Mech spinner wins again. Fight 4: Both of these bots.... I don't even know. The Compact nature of the Collander makes it easy work for a control/clampbot like Toxin though. HW:
Fight 1: YFW Avalanche wins a fight
Fight 2: It seems that Bocuma is powered by the same magic that powered Strychnine. Why my bots have this inherent ability to pin their opponents in such ridiculous positions is beyond me.
Fight 3: Gotta agree with that Judges decision though I feel it may be controversial. TTTSNB got a lot of solid hits right on the centre of Chernobyl's disc, in fact I don't know how it didn't come off, and controlled the fight despite the damage.
Fight 4: Points to both of these bots for looking cool as sh**. Sadly the same can't be said for the fight. A real grind fest, and not in the way you'd expect with an overhead sawbot in there.
Fight 5: A no-contest from the beginning. Didn't expect an OOTA though.

Demon's Mech HS in Round 1 for my MW. Rematch of the fateful Redditbots match, though I can't see myself getting so lucky this time.

I would usually recommend small typhoon teeth, but they will collide with the ground... Will they?
Yeah they collide with the ground. They were the first thing I tried.

I really dig the wedge panels, the beaters aren't working for me.
I agree. The beater bars are there for function rather than aesthetics sadly. It has real trouble hitting stuff without them. Any suggestions as to a better looking solution?

I gone and done made a thing. HW VS called Spartan. 1X Perm-132 for weaponary, and 2X NPC fasts for drive. Front wedges are all steel. Srimech is powered by a very small VDMA burst. Pics below: Exterior:  Interior:

Either make the wedge shallower or the flipper shorter. The way it sticks out the top right now looks pretty awful. I'd also personally go for a less boxy chassis shape but that might just be me.

RIP Titchmarsh. Back to the talk shows for you I'm afraid.
Also after all that time Avalanche spent defending it, Raus MK2 lasts about 3 seconds in the ring. Why am I not surprised?

why did your flipper get rejected? it looks fine to me
zanzibar's pretty unique for a lw vs, reminds me of a beetle with that shape
the hw is also looking solid
Flipper was rejected as I'd already entered with the VS. I tried to replace the VS with the flipper when I saw how many other spinners were being entered, but he doesn't accept replacement bots unless there's a glitch or something with the first bot you sent. Kinda sucks but oh well. At least I tried to replace it. Cheers for the feedback.

I think the award for "Most Improved Robot" can go to (Kill-E) Crank-E. That thing actually looks pretty ****ing good. A worthy successor to the legendary Pussycat. Still, rooting for Push to Exit though.

Three bots for you today. Two lightweights and another remake of the first bot I ever submitted. First the lightweights: This is a new version of Zanzibar which I submitted to Redditbots for the new LW competition. I wanted to withdraw it and replace it with the second lightweight in this post when I saw how many spinners were being entered, but unfortunately he wouldn't allow resubmissions. So here's a generic ass VS. 1X TWM3R for weapo power, 2X Slimbodies for drive. Pics below: Exterior:  Interior:  Now the second lightweight.Sundown. It's another front hinge flipper, and is essentially a lightweight version of Bocuma, but this time designed with Bocuma II's design in mind rather than the original like with the previous lightweight front-hinger I posted a while back. This was built to replace Zanzibar in Redditbots due to the high number of spinners, but got turned away. 1X Storm front hinge burst for the weapon, and 2X slimbodies for drive. Exterior:  Interior:  And finally the heavyweight. This marks the seventh version of Tommib, and the very first fully IRL version. Blade no longer clips the motors, and there's no intersecting parts. It's also been rebuilt using DSCs IRL packs, and has been given a srimech arm again as I wasn't happy with the speed or reliability of self righting just using the disc. Exterior:  Interior (Minus Top Armour):  (The disc just clears the batteries, though this image makes it look like it'll clip with them because of the angle. Honest :P)
