I liked the part where two Johns stacked up and formed a MegaJoh-wait, that name's already taken.

  HS was the original design, 090901 mentioned it looked like it should be a VS, and upon going down that rabbit hole... it's a difficult decision.

Sorry, but this is bullsh**. You kicked Kix/TGM out for screwing up his chances to fix his bots back in September, but you're making no secret of the fact you'll keep extending this until someone in particular enters, or finishes entering all their teams. So if they can't get their act together and get their bots entered in the almost two and a half months they've had to, then tough sh** on them. Close the sign ups already.

Here's some more shots of what has quickly become one of my favourite bots, including two ideas for IRL Packs in the future: Hub cap discs, and replica disc reskins:  And here's the decal for the eye, which is a ridiculous size for even a 1024x1024 texture:

**** WALLS 2016. Also, some random thoughts:
These were an entertaining batch of matches, aside from the drone battle (which at least had a sensible outcome)
Carbonize and Wham-O, wall buddies.
Strawberry Trapper, when not suffering devastating havoks, is a damn good bot, although still prone to getting stuck unable to self-right.
Carbonize and Pangolin look like twins. Also, someone make an IRL HW tag tournament.
Interplanetary will **** your say up whatever is bolted to it. And this is the "bad" version of the Base robot.

CHEESUS All the way back on page 1 of this topic is a bot called Ratt-E. Made in October 2010, just over 6 years ago. So there's my excuse for revisiting another old robot.

 Well done to Thryus for a close final, but wow, pretty pleased with winning with Carbonize. Overall, this was a good tournament, but in practice I think the drones were a little frustrating to watch. If they can be tweaked in future to avoid being the primary target, then it may create better matches. Either way, congrats DoT :) I wouldn't mind seeing Carbonize vs Pangolin, as my other choices are already accommodated for in 090901's suggestion.

In the meantime, AWARD VOTING is now ready, with the following:
- Most Exciting Bot
- SFTW Award
- Luckiest Bot
- Unluckiest Bot
- Surprise of the Tournament
- Greatest Moment of the Tournament
There's a few more awards I will dish out myself once voting is closed.

R01, the running order was randomised using one of the widgets on random.org, I didn't want to run in the order people submitted. Also, I am going to include the two prizes in a side-pack for everyone to download, and then merge them into IRL Pack 3 when that is released. I will post that within the next few days. And for the umpteenth time, there will be a fight involving F1Krazy and Rob Collins. Shocking  So far the list of Bonus matches I have is: - Top 4 Rumble - Middle 4 Rumble - Bottom 4 Rumble - Flipper Rumble I am also thinking of running this match: The Clock vs Two Brothers (Guldenflame and Havok McSplosion) I'm looking for one more matchup, can be either against The Clock or another participant.

Thought Wham-O vs Carbonize was a bit boring once it got into a shoving match, then right at the last Wham-O backed it into a corner and stripped all it's teeth out. I genuinely would have agreed with the decision going either way. Also, I think this may have been the first time I've fought Thyrus in a competitive tournament. But I told you that tail was gonna swat drones. :P Was a good fight. I'm still not sure what to expect though, I can only imagine...

Congratulations to R01, who snuck in at almost the last moment and took the title with a Nine-second knockout of The Clock!
Thank you to everyone who took part too, thank you for making my first tournament a success, hopefully more will be following in the future.

I don't want to sound greedy or anything, but are there awards?
There will be awards and bonus battles, which I will set up shortly.

Looking at it a bit, I ALMOST got 20 seconds. Stupid Wall XD
It was very close, i think your bot got a little too underneath The Clock and lifted it to safety, but it was a great attempt.

Now I've seen the actual height of the blades on The Clock, I think I mounted mine too low. rimp me
Pretty much.
It got brutal pretty quick.

May reskin a part for the hazard stripes on his side, it is actually possible using 45 degree yellow and black parts, and looked AMAZING, but everything started twisting and jittering around, and no amount of going in and out of botlab, or restarting RA2 would stop it. There is definitely a practical limit to component chains, and I think I maxed it out at about 35. But yes, this is a fully featured Sgt. Bash rep. 360 degree turret. Front claws (only the top ones actually move, although both are mounted on front-hinged bursts). sh**ty redundant saw at the back. Green. Unreliable (Drifts one way, which is a similar problem I had with the Dead Metal replica).
