Seeing with what Shield is doing, my suggestion is to put one video at a time, then put a leader board at the end of each video to not only compare the average time of each Robot, but also edit the leader board depending on their average survival time instead of putting it a spoiler tag. This may be lengthy in the making due to how much time this may take with 7 entries one-by one instead of doing it all together, but it may prevent a overly long video which some users may not watch or just skip the boring bits.
Also, RIP in deed Thrack. Seeing my average time and my performance made me not only laugh, but also come up with a Clarkson's Top Gear era styled argument about my performance. But still, I some work to do on Malleus for some future DSL-S if there would be one.

And yet again, this rumble is another showing on how the Mechavore/Mircovore disk master race dominates the DSL-S beetleweight class. But I'm supersized that BMPR made it to the sixth round of the rumble, despite being mostly trashed half the time. But that is because the Elimination Houdini charm came in. No matter if BMPR does get trashed up, someone else's bot would be destroyed if I was to dodge the bullet. Moving on, time for my Grudge match of redemption: Box with Wheels vs Hercules Beetle vs O-Zone vs Train Carriage (You can spot the theme here)

Glad to hear that AWS 52 went quite well, especially if you made it to the quarter final is worth a real achievement for yourself anyway. So moving away from your success, I got to love the logo on Phantom fox for the only reason being happens to be with the fox drawings you gave to Phantom Fox, fitting the theme of the phantom title well like painting a bot to a theme.
One last question: What with the thick wedge above the screwdriver? Do you have any plans to use it, or it's just there till some time in the future?

At least that something of interest. Just to wait till it's "possibly" finished.

Number 2: I'm sorry but no. I don't like OBJRA2 robots that can't actually fight and are entirely custom parts/objra2 chassis parts. It's impressive, but I don't want this sort of bot on the front page. Apologies, Apanx.
i really hope this is a joke
Nope.
I just don't like these sorts of robots outside of the classic "No rules" December BOTM's and think that BOTM should be about building cool, effective, impressive designs.
It is ****ing impressive tho, and i'm not denying that.
I just don't think it fits BOTM.
I do respect your opinion Avalanche. I personally do like Number 2 for the fact of being a perfect replica of the Nuke cannon from C&C Generals, but half of the time some people like you may look for something that not only looks more practical like number 4 and also follows the rules more perfectly similar to bots like 3 or 1, but more on the lines of Bots that don't use OBJRA2 wizardry to make real arty bots for the purpose of BOTM, but being more prefer to properly designed bots fresh in the Bot lab. If you remember back to February's BOTM when Apanx made a model of Twilight Sparkles in OBJRA2, users like J love it, but most users didn't wanted to see a empty chassis that just shoots lighting on the front page, they wanted something more real like the actual winner of that BOTM which you know as a proper bot with a purpose of fitting the month's theme. So I may of ending up voting for number 2 out of being a purely awesome bot, but knowing your tastes you rather vote for something else, which is ok and I respect that, but number 2 is already the result of all the upcoming BOTMs since February when some people will just create OBJRA2 bots for the purpose of BOTM.

My verdict on this "month's" BOTM:
1. Not the best splash in the world. But, you got to like the theme of shooting cannonballs to set fire a few things. Love the armour work.
2. HOLY ****ING *****! It's the Nuke Cannon from Command and Conquer Generals! Never spammed them in game but seriously, there must of been some sort of GTM tech Wizard working OBJRA2 to full extent.
3. I don't get the reference since I don't watch Jojo. But nice use of the Alcoholic Stepfather wheels on the other hand.
4. Nice Generic Ironforge bot. Movi.... opps I've reach the end of the list.
Well, that was some turn out some sort of BOTM. Despite only being Four entries due to some of us having exams and real life, the quality of BOTM always seeks to please me with these arty bots and how much some people put into BOTM, just to reach the home page for personal achievement.

Not bad, I suggest getting more drive, batteries and some powerful bursts, also what armor?
If you need to know Neon, it's Titanium 5. In addition, I also working on a re-build to make the bot look more like either Constrictor or Merlin from Robot Wars/ UK live events.

After hearing about Yugitom's GTM Live tournarment, I have tasked myself in building a HW for when Sign-ups open. Of course by now, I've finished my A level exams (finished them on Tuesday to be exact), I have a little more time to play around. But moving to the point, this bot isn't finished and I need to ask for some advice on how to finish this bot and any changes I'll need to make to make this bot a little more IRL. So this is what I'm been building:

I honestly think the so-called Beetleweight class idea may seen like a good idea, but if happen to be someone like me, you may realize on how difficult it is in actually build an actual good looking Beetleweight when you have so many heavy parts like colourful armour plates that take up most of the 175kgs that you have on hand. I'm aware that there are many parts that are some what light in DSL like the ant blades and such ,and there are many good, almost IRL beetles in tournaments like Forest Fire, but most of the beetles will end-up being mostly thick, chassis like MR Log or my own BMPR. So, I do suggest of upping the weight limit to something like light-weights, so people can make good, flax featherweight robots without worrying about the lower weight limit and having more weight to play around with without properly destroying the idea of Feather-weight robots. Or just set your own custom weight class for something like 200kgs for instants.
One final question: Is there any possible limits on weaponry like Frenzy Hammers and Overkill Blades?

Both tournaments of this double feature look good and have the right amount of creamy memes (More for Grogs adventure, but less for BattleWars). But knowing that it's both in two meta-games I'm not proficient in, I may give them a good go. Besides, not only I'll learn something, but might as well give another meta-game a try for BattleWars. Also, you should of called BattleWars: Extreme BattleWar Games-Arama World Series Challenge Live. If this title doesn't work, I challenge one of you to come up with something better

I hope you get sued by Mentorn.
If he's going to get sued. This is going to be a double whammy with him getting sued by both Mentorn, and the Battlebots company.

I've already said Happy Birthday in the chatterbox, but I might as well say it here to leave a mark. So Happy Birthday Thrackzod! Mega-tournament host and Champion of many tournaments, including the Ribcage Rampage!
Edit: This was worth the 300th post.

*Insert some LRA2 copypasta here* Well that was a surprising ending, seeing one of the biggest under dogs winning the whole tournament when most of us were expecting someone like Demon to win it all. Proving that sometimes the most destructive robot doesn't always win in the end ( I know you'll say: This happened numerous times ago Captain obvious). Congratulations on your dark-horse victory Neon!

ON the RA2Wiki, IN Tournament wins, for BBEAMS 7, it said I won with CrappyUnIRLBoT, Number 1, Thats not what I entered, that was for a challenge, number 2, I did not WIN!!!!!, I was close to winning the Semi-Finals, But the flipper screwed me over, so I did not Win.
There is some weird stuff on that wiki.
The reason why you won was because of 09 used your CrappyUnIRL bot in the secret end battle, AIed with the PSI.py. Didn't you watch to the very end battle of BBEAMS when 09 declared that Apenx won the tournament but there was a secret challenger? If not, then watch it to have an better idea why you won Asbs.

what in the world is my robot supposed to be
A Robot built by the one and only Pizzaguy? I believe it's actually a standard Flipper Thrack, though it's properly not a good one, but has a nice theme on the other hand.

It's about time you've uploaded the SBV! The only why I built Malleus for this was all for the sake of "Two can play at this game!" after seeing the first law bot. Still, I should have a chance if my bot doesn't OOTA.

I am aware that Icewave's bar is slightly forward towards to wedge than straight in the centre of the bot, but the bar doesn't look right. You got the bar colours right, but one end of the bar looks way shorter than the other end, not only knowing how the bot could become unbalanced very quickly to the lack of balance between both ends of the bar, but both ends of Icewave's bar are both at the same length.
Apart from that little mistake, both bots look pretty good so far.

That's pretty impressive what you've done, tweaking the house Robot cameras like that so you can view in first person mode. It's good that you worked out how to fix the camera work, so I don't have anything else to say but well done.
Yeah, I thought "why did the developers make point-of-view cameras, when they actually are just blocked by the chassis?" XD
It's often just one of those features that were meant to be finished off, but the developers must either ran of time when making the game, or the game never went through major testing through all the game's features, resulting in the first person camera system never being completed properly. Still, do keep up the work with working with the game's source code.

It have been a long ride, but this tournament is reaching it's end. With me having no chance going through. Still, the last round for me is something just for a laugh and nothing special, except learning a few tricks of trade in bot building.Finally how to put the final non-round robin in a nutshell: have fun winners!
