Over the years, times have changed. And the Badges for the Fear/Respect Raters are getting older and older looking. Let's face it. They're plain ugly. Therefore, thanks to Adobe Illustrator CS4 and ComApp classes. I've redid them! Fear:  Respect:  - Not Actual Size.If you are a Fear/Respect Rater you will get the genuine version of these badges in a PM ASAP. They're cleaner, sleeker, and shinier.

I'm teal because I'm special.
@Reier - The rewiring is fine. I wanted it to drive like the stock BEAR did back then.

Yeah I know. I would've and i know what you're talking about but f10 zoomed out too much for me and I wanted to get up close to the bots. I will see if i could be fixed up done for Round 2, if I was to try and fiddle with the cam scripts as i was recording, we might have had to wait for Round 1 vids to show up in year 2020 (no pun intended).

Retry the Links. You probably clicked on it while it was uploading. All vids up to match 9 should be up. I'm now putting up 10 and 11. PLEASE Let me know if there are still problems in seeing them. But it shouldn't be a problem since it is coming STRAIGHT from my ftp server.

Hmm.. Vids should be up..
OK check the titles in each match up on page 6. I'm putting the vids into each. In the meantime I will fix the splash page.

UPDATE: VIDEOS FOR ROUND ONE OF THE TABLETOP TOURNAMENT ARE COMPLETE! It was a long battle... trying to get things rolling with this tournament. But now things ae starting to get back into motion, As if it was raised from the dead. A resurrection if you will. Congratulations to all those who have long awaited for these videos to get posted! Now uploading the match videos. Match Videos For Round One! Congratulations to all the competitors! There was a lot of Bye Matches which was a tad bit dull for the table-top division. But hopefully there will be more excitement in the other divisions! Either way, there has been some pretty nice matches so far. Keep up the good work competitors! - Match 1: Chizzle vs TDL2In the first bout, Chizzle and TDL2 lock flippers for a brief second and tussle around for a bit. It then becomes apparant that TDL2's well built design gets the better of Chizzle as it plows underneath the side of Chizzle and heads towards the OOTA zone. Chizzle frantacially flips try to shake off of the wedges of TDL2 but to no avail. It only has one wheel for clearance onto the ground and it simply doesn't have enough grip. TDL2 finally pushes Chizzle OOTA and follows after it in the process, but sadly ends up being OOTA instead. The next two bouts are similar to the first but much faster with the last round causing TDL2 to run both bots off of the arena and barely winning due to it being right behind Chizzle in the fall. TDL wins through two standard OOTAs and Chizzle with one OOTA. One of my favorite matches. In Bout 1, Li-ewl Terrier launches itself full speed at Razor and succeeds in flipping it over and over a couple of times. Razor returns the favor by using it's pistons to powerfully push Li-ewl away and knocking it off balance. Many have not suspected it, but Li-ewl's wedges, though primitive, were sufficient enough to get underneath the deadly Razor III, posing a BIG problem for it in trying to get it out of the stage. Li-ewl's awkward design pops it back on it's wheels for a quick recover thanks to it's flipping bar to counter Razor III's invertibility as well. It's speed, being faster than Razor III gives it just enough clearance to slip underneath its chassis in which it finally is able to subdue it for an OOTA. Seconds before the OOTA however, Razor III havoks after one of it's axle wedges gets snagged and, according to the rules, is granted an extra match. Bout 2, 3, and 4 share the same elements of match 1. Both bots go at it but no matter how hard Razor tries to knock Li-ewl over, it seems to bounce back onto it's wheels. Eventually being able to toss Razor out in the process... Li-ewl wins all of its Bouts with three standard OOTAs and one technical OOTA from its redo Bout. - Match 4: Table-Top vs Zapper 8.5 In Bout 1, Table-Top moves in and begins to spin at Zapper 8.5. However Table-Top, though unique design, does not have enough torque to maneuver the super speedy flipper. The next two Bouts are just like the first, ending very quickly. Zapper simply flips Table-Top OOTA for all three bouts, winning all three standard OOTAs. - Match 8: Widowmaker vs Dune Buggy Another quick match. In all three Bouts Widowmaker really hadn't moved much to earn itself an OOTA. In Bout 1, Dune Buggy simply goes full throttle and ramps right off of Widowmaker into the OOTA zone! The force by which Dune Buggy has with it is impressive, almost taking Widowmaker with it, but in the end, being the heavier bot, Dune Buggy ends up losing the match. Bout 2 and three are just like the first. Widowmaker wins with three standard OOTAs. This was perhaps my most favorite fight in the Round 1 Table-Top matches. Skirmish 3, a powerful, well-wedged flipper, verses the weaponless NWB clone. In Bout 1 both bots turn and charge at each other with equal speed. Soon enough, it is S O F who gets underneath the deadly wedges of Skirmish 3 and tries to push it into the flames. Skirmish, almost equaling it in pushing power, hardly budges and forces S O F to back off to try and ram into it again. Sadly enough, S O F back up and rams again into Skirmish but the force by which it did so was so strong (as it didn't go underneath this time) that it nearly front flips over Skirmish! Skirmish takes the advantage of S O F's wheels being off the ground for that split second and quickly maneuvers S O F OOTA for a Bout 1 win. In Bout 2 Both bots turn and S O F starts off with getting under the mighty Skirmish once more, but this time, it runs it straight into the claws of doom for a possible OOTA. In a split second (literally) Skirmish backs out and swerves right out of the danger zone, as if it was in a drifting contest from Need for Speed, and drives around S O F to try to get it from behind. S O F, having the better wedges, simply turns around and shoves Skirmish over the claws and OOTA once more. Making them both tied 1:1. It was Bout 3, and it was in either mans hand. Which will win? Once the buzzer sounded Both bots coupled, and charged. S O F rolls over Skirmish 3 and lands almost perfectly over it's wheels, But is knocked facing upwards due to the powerful flip of Skirmish (which in turn flips itself). Both bots are trying to get back on their wheels, and just in time, S O F rolls back and charges the flipping Skirmish around, ending with a gentle push, for an OOTA. S O F Wins Match 10 through two standard OOTAs Skirmish Wins one OOTA. - Match 11: Titanium Chicken vs HR-ENever have I seen so many Technical OOTAs in one match! Thus I don Titanium Chicken with having the most technical OOTAs in Round 1 (and probably any other round). To clear things up, in ELBITE, a Technical OOTA is when a bot causes another bot to OOTA without having to touch it. This is usually through outmaneuvering it or by pushing it into the claws or any other OOTA object. In Bout 1 the buzzer sounds and both bots go at it, but HR-E seems to be a bit too fast for its own good and treats TC a little less than a speed bump similar to widowmaker in Match 8. The same thing happens, except HR-E is getting itself OOTA by rolling around and over TC. TC has to do little except knock it off balance for it to run into either the claws or the flames which ends in it falling out. Bout 2 is just like Bout 1 and Bout 3 is different in that HR-E this time outmaneuvers TC for a win over the flames. TC wins Match 11 through two Technical OOTAs and HR-E wins one Technical OOTA.

@Click - Thanks a bunch, I will execute this momentarily... @somestrangeguy - Working around church, school, and other things, I have a multitude of projects that have to be done so I hope you guys could bear with my slowness. I um... didn't really want to expose this so soon but one of the MAIN reasons as to why it's taking so long for me to execute ELBITE is that I am also working on a PC game project on the side, that I also plan to share with you guys. That and the first parts upon starting Legends Unleashed. Both of which TBAITF (To be announce in the future). ELBITE is not being ignored by any means however, and this is not in any means to be taken as an excuse for me slacking of. It will be finished. First round videos will be released on Sunday, October 20th! Otherwise Expect them upon Monday/Tuesday And Now The Round one Preditions! Round 1: Predictions(Matches 1-3 were already videotaped before predictions and therefore cannot be predicted unbiasaedly)- Match 4: Tabletop(sage) vs Zapper 8.5(Reier): Sage's Tabletop bears an interesting design. It is a spinning/twacking/SoS kind of bot using blunt undamaging weapons. It most likely will depend on it's momentum to try and slap Reier's Zapper 8.5 out of the arena thanks to its speedy 4WD. However, Zapper is far from being a pushover. As the flip motors backed up with a low ground clearance system should aid it in victory in this round if anything else. Gigafrost pedicts Zapper 8.5 as the winner of Match 4 through all three standard OOTA KOs.
- Match 5: Wegi(System32) vs ByeBot: Wegi will simply flip ByeBot OOTA, as it is a ByeBot, and can never possibly win. Gigafrost pedicts Wegi as the winner of Match 5 through all three standard OOTA KOs.
- Match 6: Punisher vs ByeBot: Punisher will simply push ByeBot OOTA, as it is a ByeBot, and can never possibly win. Gigafrost pedicts Punisher as the winner of Match 6 through all three standard OOTA KOs.
- Match 7: E&O vs ByeBot: E&O will simply flip ByeBot OOTA, as it is a ByeBot, and can never possibly win. Gigafrost pedicts E&O as the winner of Match 7 through all three standard OOTA KOs.
- Match 8: Widowmaker vs Dune Buggy: Widowmaker sports nicely clearanced flippers on angled bursts and the average 2WD system. I think Dune Buggy will have some trouble getting around it despite it's speedy 4WD, but who knows? Those HUGE wheels will probably give it some type of traction. Since it's invertible, it's best bet is to dash in and out of the dangerzone of widowmaker and shove it OOTA, a mild feat to witness. Gigafrost pedicts Widowmaker as the winner of Match 8 through 2 standard OOTA KOs and Dune Buggy with 1 possible OOTA KO.
- Match 9: Arcarsenal vs ByeBot: Arcarsenal will simply flip ByeBot OOTA, as it is a ByeBot, and can never possibly win. Gigafrost pedicts Arcarsenal as the winner of Match 9 through all three standard OOTA KOs.
- Match 10: Skirmish 3(Naryar) vs SoF(H@zm47): Naryar's Skirmish 3 pitting up against H@zm47's Spawn of Francium will be simply an interesting match to watch. Skirmish is a powerful bot. Boasting an advanced "forward flipping" system. SoF is also quite speedy and is clearanced well, but is non-invertable. Hmm... We will see the outcome of it's performance. Gigafrost pedicts Skirmish 3 as the winner of Match 10 through 2 standard OOTA KOs and SoF with 1 possible OOTA KO.
- Match 11: Titanium Chicken(MetalikVyper) vs HR-E(R1885): MetalikVyper and R1885 have built two pushing bots for this division. Each of wihch are built for the same purpose but with a different design. In this bout however, it will be in either mans land. The ground clearance of HR-E as well as it's more speedy drive will seem to make it the more aggresive of the two, but it is also equallized by the invertability of TC and it's powerfull piston power. Possibly to make up for it's slower movement. A test of speed and strength. But in my eyes, I will be rooting towards HR-E. Sooner or later, the strong pushes of Titanium Chicken will gradully weaken. All it takes is for HR-E to force it out quickly and swiftly. But I could be mistaken. Gigafrost pedicts HR-E as the winner of Match 11 through 2 standard OOTA KOs and Titanium Chicken with 1 possible OOTA KO.

Why don't you worry about this tournament you started......then cook your goulash later! Yes sir will do, I just need to compile the vids together. Match one, two, and three was already recorded by the way (for the table top) so I haven't completely left you guys out. I'll make an outcome section on the first page of this thread one i finalize them. At least to have SOMETHING while you guys wait for me to catch up. Then I'll just build it up from there. Much more efficient this way.

Apologies everyone. I knew I had forgot something the last time I was here. I need to redo my brackets page as well as I don't know how to do a successful image map (Perhaps some help from you click?) and have been having some issues with it. I owe you guys some vids. And as a token of my apologies, I will cook up another prize for the grand prize winner.
Regards and again apologies, Gigafrost

-Sigh- I might need some help, perhaps from clickbeetle... How do you create an image map for your tournament? Mine isn't working and im using the CoffeeCup image mapper.
Edit: Ok finally got it working. The match videos for round one will be up tomorrow.

Hmm... Looking at your showcase LRA2, May I also suggest that if you also give my RA2GE AI pack a go for a more challenging set of opponents (You can do waayyy better than stock and the other packs will just be overkill ATM)?, this can increase your botting skill to a surprising level and can even get you ready for more harder packs like starcore and DSL. Of course while still taking advice from the other members. more info on how to download this pack can be found on this page. Oh, and welcome to the forums!
