PREDICTIONS ! (okay, okay, no predictions, but COMMENTS) CotW: LW: could probably do with more weaposn, MW is cool, not sure about effectiveness, and the Heavyweight I love.
World War 2: Lw fares pretty well in the test matches i've run, mw seems to have problems with self righting, and HW pretty decent at OOTA's. It's also pretty damn tough
Freezepops: sorry, you persistant youngling, but i don't see this one going far. But, points for having the only hammer bot in the tourney. Also, I couldn't tell you this before everything became 'official' but...Don't use perms for drive, buddy.
Team Pwn: Accretion disk is
NASTY in a good way. watch this little guy. MW is pretty solid, but HW has some stability issues. All told, a solid team.
All Hallow's Eve: Honestly, I just wanted to make a halloween team. I sacrificed a LOT for the MW. But I HAD to have that chassis. No real power here, 'cept maybe Samhain (Gluttony Jr.)
Bash'em Up: decent little rammer, bizarre mw, i always think it's facing backwards. hw's not too bad, but probably hurt by the flail rule.
Coleoptera: Flee Beetle!!! My favorite bot that won't cause a single KO. You really have to see it in action to fully appreciate it. Kheper is cool, not sure about how well it'll fare, but i love the look of it and am rooting for it hard. Gigawhirl, I think it's wedgier than it looks.
The Ogre's Lair: The absolute strangest names for bots. I gotta say, i'm pretty proud of him for these. LW: much better than his first one, i'll say that. MW: I think it might suprise you. but, it really depends. I've seen it last all of 5 seconds and in one test match, it actually swept everything. HW: Honestly the star of this team, obviously depending on the wedge.
Team S_M: LW: not a bad popup for sure. mw: solid flipper. HW: Love the design, as i've said with other bots of this style. but probably needs more weaponry.
Team Uncia: sorry about the name, I originally was asking everyone what they wanted, but forgot with a few of you. Officially, it's now Team Uncia. anway....LW: Nice flipper, probably won't fair well once the other lw's are out, but we'll see. mw: decent hits and throwing. HW: my second favorite bot of the tourney...that's all.
Team Plasma: lw, fares pretty well and get's some quick ko's. MW. haven't ran it through any test matches, but pretty sure a step up from your original mw. HW: Tough as nails, but has a tendency to get pinned.
Anonymous: LW: Doesn't score many KO's, but usually sticks around for awhile. MW: Good build, should get some points for the team, HW..Not bad at all...
T
TT10MTM: lw: a lot of the times, more a flipper than a rammer, and by that i mean it flips itself. MW: zero invertiblity and no way to self right, like a turtle. HW: I was actually hoping for a complex spinner to show up. so :D. However, weak weapons and piglet drive. Sorry, bud, but it won't fare well.
Statues of Christ: quick, fun builds, that's all. Also a way to pad out different bot types. Since we have 3 heats needing bye teams, i might make two more. I'm sure i could throw some together real quick. On a personal note, Gumby Jesus came from "Christ of the Ozarks", the absolute creepiest Jesus statue i've ever seen. Big Butter/Touchdown Jesus no longer exists after being struck by lightning, and my personal favorite jesus statue, Christ of the Abyss. The only one I know of actually submerged in the ocean.
Click's LW looks like a dummy. I'm not sure if it can take a beating from 3 LWs, though.
It doesn't have to last long in this format...
