Looking forward to the tournaments. 
As for the entries, here are my thoughts:
Team Uncia: Sorry guys, nothing new because of builders’ block (except for Tunneler’s new weapon setup), but I still think I can do well. BTW it’s Iron Tumbleweed VI as in 6, not IV as in 4.
Team Ultimatum: Stock parts in DSL? Blasphemy! That being said I like the look of Darkblade 2.5.
Team Lazer: Shoop and Da look pretty good, but in not sure about the extenders on Whoop.
Team G-Union: *Insert whiny comment from Naryar about crawlers being "ghey" here*. I like Kulpa the best because it has a lot of weapons and is realistic (as much as a crawler can get). Still though, stock parts as well as no realistic rule? What were they thinking?
Team Distant Lack of Monkey Related Bots: I’m assuming we’re fighting in a closed arena, thus I don’t think the flipper is going to do well here. The other two however look good enough.
Team Eruption: Again the flipper is not going to do well in a closed arena, and Backfire would have been better as a gut-ripping drum. Although since Spitfire has more weaponry than a standard MW sawbot, I think it might win a match or two.
Team Bling: Depends on the wedges, and Doomkiller really needs to get over his obsession with razor tips. Since these bots have a wide stance they could trap bots easily, but how much damage they can do to their opponents’ chassis is crucial.
Team “The Big Freezeâ€: The popup looks like the only good bot on this team, but that shell spinner looks well-defended.
Team Genesis: They look well-built, but Sega Megadrive looks strange to me.
Team Plasma: Another flipper? Defiance of Asimov doesn’t look like it has the speed to knock away fast opponents, nor does Whisk look like it has a good wedge, but I could be proven wrong.
Team Meatbeaters: Seriously why all the stock components?!
Team Lastminuters: Not bad, but what’s with the third one?
Team Badnik’s Badniks: AOTFC is one to watch out for, and Spark Plug looks dangerous as well, but Grawlix looks too fast for its own good.
Team In: They all look really good; I’m just not sure about the wedge on the VS.
Team Residential: They look underweaponed, and underweight unless the weapons are on pistons.
Team Robot Unicorn Attack: I personally think PC4 is better than PC5. Erasure, I’m sure, is deadly, but I don’t have a clue of how good IPU is.
Team The End of the Road: Not very well-built, but the SnS is okay.
Team Without a Cool Name: The popup and VS look pretty good, but I’m not sure about the HS’s stability.
