Love the "NEXT TIME" section, that's a neat idea.
[Tiny Crab hype intensifies]

Predictions, because everyone else is doing them: AW: SnS? Not the worst match-up I could have gotten, but given I don't know how effective Tiny Crab is, I don't really know how this will go.
BW: The perfect test of whether Obsidian is actually any good at what it's designed for. If the wedge holds up and it doesn't flip itself over, it should win.
LW: My only hope is that Fear is too powerful for its own good and I can get in some good hits while it ricochets around the arena. Otherwise, I'm screwed.
MW: Conchylia Romanus, I can beat. Young Violence, I'm not so sure. Sub-Zero isn't gonna live up to its #7 seeding, I think.
CW: Pretty sure I can de-weapon and defeat whoever wins out of Looks Kill and Winter's Howl. Not a problem.
HW: Eeep. Vertigo is an extremely good gutripper, always has been, so that's what I'm relying on it to do to Supercell. It's gutrip or be torn apart.
SHW: A mirror match! I'm pretty excited for this one, though I feel sorry for doot coz this match is gonna be one giant havok bomb.

Yeah, not bad at all. Reminds me of my old 4WD HS. Not much to say that hasn't already been said: a standard Perm instead of a reinforced one will save you some weight, and it could do with a splash of colour as it's kinda bland-looking right now. You've definitely been improving, though!

I think RWRA2 actually did this. There was a weapon motor that was both tiny and extremely overpowered, so with a good enough weapon you could punt opponents across (or even out of) the arena, like in real life. Of course, you also get the recoil/gyro like in real life, and at high enough speeds your bot will just start shaking and fly off uncontrollably.

F1 vs FOTEPX has to be the best usage of that multibot that could ever possibly happen.
I can't believe how well that worked either. That went exactly according to plan. Either Raiden or John the Chad Robbut next though, neither of those are exactly good news. I may have to hope they pull a Vulkan and get pinned

Vertigo doing what Vertigo does best... gutripping. Not sure how well it's going to stand up to Atropa Belladonna, though...

Wow, my best-ever result in a DSL tournament. I wasn't expecting Horror of Koror to do so well. The best bot won, though. Congratulations, Tashic!

Oh man, I'd be all for this. Whether it's just a further series of IRL packs or a full-blown TC, I'd love to see you coming out with more components. It's always great to have more stuff to play with.

I genuinely can't believe I won that. Of all my clutch victories, that has to be the clutchiest.
I-95 next though... *gulp*...

What does the bar under the HP bar represent? Would be useful for it to show CO2 levels on Eruption or spinner speed on Carbide
On Carbide, at least, it appears to represent motor temperature or something. If you have the weapon spinning for too long, the bar starts to fill with red, and you have to release the weapon button to get it to lower again. I don't know what happens if the bar fills all the way up but I'm guessing the weapon just stops working.
Heck yeah, 500 posts
You are correct on all counts! Nice detective work! (and a little bit scary) 
It was just something I happened to notice while playing the latest build. What clinched it was when I started turning and the bar started filling up faster, because I had three motors running instead of one. Controlling overheating sounds like an interesting game mechanic (and should make it harder for people to make unrealistic bots with tonnes of weapon/drive motors  )

Horror of Koror might be my favorite undercutter I’ve seen built on here.
 After the tournament is over I can re-skin it as Bluebird and possibly enter it into something else, I reckon it would look even better in a less gaudy colour scheme.

Nice one, Horror of Koror! Lightstalker might be a bit tricky, being an axebot and all, but I'll probably have an easier time against it than I-95... lookng good for me so far, though.

Seems cjbruce hasn't posted about it here yet but there's a new build out, with breakable components, new components for the bot lab, and a prototype version of the arena builder, among other things. I'm only posting about it because I want to offer some feedback: - The new immobility countdown flickers a lot, which is irritating, and if multiple robots aren't moving then it switches between them rather than each robot having an individual countdown
- The text is wonky on some of the buttons (esp. in the arena builder). Dunno if that's just coz I'm playing in 720p windowed mode though.
- The sound balance feels off - some sounds are too loud, others are too quiet. Dunno if it's just me.
- Eruption's flipper apparently has a limited amount of CO2 but I don't see that indicated anywhere in the UI - if the blue gauge is CO2, then it's not depleting
- If you click "Help" in the Robot Lab, it spawns a fully-finished robot that then sinks through the table. You can spawn them indefinitely and fill the lab with them. Amusing, but probably not intended?
Still looks great and feels great, though. Rome wasn't built in a day, as they say. Keep up the good work!

Don't suppose you remember what I sent the first time round, do you? if not, I'll have a root around the archives for something to re-enter.

I'm intrigued by the new rules. I wonder if the maximum tip speed rule is a reaction to HellaChopper. Certainly they won't be the only ones affected, though (I believe Nightmare's tip speed was 300mph, and Tombstone's was 350mph?) And the 10lb cosmetics allowance sounds pretty cool too, bots can squeeze every last ounce out of the weight limit without compromising on looks.
I'm really looking forward to this.

Oh wow, I've got a lot to catch up on when I get home from work today... already seen the first half of the first round, though. Poor Meteor got face****ed but Zsasz did well enough.

Oh hey, this is a thing again.
Actually quietly confident about my chances here. Let's see how it goes.

Went a bit mad and built a tank. Currently 771.7kg, Pl10 armour, with two red batteries and two large CO2 canisters. The turret is servo-operated and conceals a Medium VDMA piston with a 100cm Heavy Spike as the "munitions", though I'm thinking about switching it to a Sgt. Bash-style flamethrower. The weapon's too high off the ground to hit most opponents, it's top-heavy and easily gets outwedged and tipped over, but hey, it looks cool, right?
