I might send something in as well, provided I get myself building again.

I bet that Blood Orange will be pwned.
You keep thinking that.  OK I'll stop.

I prefer neither.

I'm kinda disappointed that I wasn’t able to score a KO, but at least I won all three rounds. I think I can win the next round against either New Ruin or Mutant Kabuto, but I’ll just have to wait and see.
Here are my 2nd round predictions:
ReActive over Sawzal – Unless Sawzal can avoid hitting the weapons of ReActive and instead hit the extenders, I highly doubt that its weapons can last long enough to KO ReActive.
Power Surge over N-Trench – Even with that drive I don’t doubt that Power Surge will be able to sweep away N-Trench, and even if it manages to get under I don’t think the weapons will be able to deal enough damage Power Surge’s chassis in time.
Resentful Princess 2 over Death of Angels 2 – It’s very close, but I think RP2 has enough weapons to significantly damage DOA2 before it can do the same to its opponent.
Elle Driver over What Sheck Spinner? - I’m still not sure if Elle Driver can reliably gut-rip an opponent, but if it can get to the chassis of WSS?, which is most likely very fragile, then ED will very likely win.
New Ruin over Mutant Kabuto - Even with Mutant Kabuto’s “awesome†weapons I’m leaning towards New Ruin simply because it has more weaponry and heavier, high-HP weapons are usually not better on flails than lighter, high-DP weapons.
Blood Orange over Missile Test – Wedge-less VSs usually pwn wedges unless the wedge is a wammer, which Missile Test is not, nor is it low enough to bypass the weapons of Blood Orange.
Minor Launch Platform MK 2 over Guardian Angels – Even if Trumpetguy theoretically has built the better wedge of the two, MLP2 is faster so it might get under GA, and Guardian Angels will likely not deal enough damage to MLP2 before it somehow gets underneath it. The question is if MLP2 can get underneath and KO it.
Bane X over Blabber-mouth – I highly doubt that B-M is fast and damaging enough to KO Bane X before it gets ripped to shreds.
AtaxiA over Deinonychus – I’m just leaning towards AtaxiA because it probably has the better wedge and because it’s R0B0!
1.8 over Power Surge 3 – Similar designs, but 1.8 has greater weapons. The question is if 1.8 can avoid being gut-ripped by its opposition.
Bisector over Reier’s Avatar 3 – Even with the damaging flails, I don’t think RA3 can break through Bisector’s front armor before it suffers severe damage to its chassis, which is wide open for Bisector to hit.
Stanley 2 over AntonYYYm – In testing Stanley 2 against FlipJack 4, I find that it gets flipped out of the arena around half of the time, but AntonYYYm’s flippers are weaker than that of FlipJack 4’s (in HP and maybe flipping power), so the odds are mostly for Stanley 2.
S Cargo over Terrible Sight – Referring back to my prediction of Blood Orange vs Missile test, S Cargo is likely to win this being a wedge-less VS against a wedge, but this wedge has “invincible†front armor and the chassis of S Cargo is wide open for Terrible Sight to hit it. It could go either way but I’m for S Cargo.
Predator over Primal Instincts X – The weapons of Predator are damaging thanks to being on axles, but the normal weapons probably reduced the damage potential it could have had. It depends on if Primal Instincts X can avoid being swept away and if its front armor can hold out long enough.
Claw Cube 3 over The Mini Warrior – It could go either way; That axe on The Mini Warrior looks like it can get a few good hits on the exposed top of Claw Cube 3, but Claw Cube 3 has the more damaging weapons. If The Mini Warrior’s front armor can hold out long enough for it to get a few chassis then it can win, otherwise it is Claw Cube 3’s victory.
Infection 4 over Trigger Happy – Both have skirt hinge wedges, but faster wedges tend to do better than slower ones.

They seem more like stabilizers to me; static wedges are no good anyway.
Mount them on burst motors, and you may also give them a wide stance to help with stability.

I as well; I could swear that our match outcome was influenced by a havok explosion.
Of course that's for Craaig to decide.

It only needs 2 Supervolts really, and you might want to think about putting wedges on it too.

Basically, my team KO'ed itself
Well that's the price you pay for getting consecutive KOs on me. :P Although I'm likely going to lose in the final; Pwn's and Nar's teams are too good (that is if they both make it into the final).

Hey happy birthday Pwn!

heh. I'm surprised I won with such a sh**ty team (though I still think FlipJack should have lasted a bit longer). Must have been luck I guess. Good match Bubbleman and S_M!

Wow, the new Fury is a tough cookie, but I managed to beat it after a few tries:  I'd say it's more because of luck though. Fury VI is obviously the better built, but I'm happy enough with my own bot. Thank you Starcore.

Woo! We beat the trick AI team!

Sweet! Possible Second Sentinel rebuild?

(credit to MikeNCR for the drive setup)
Fixed 'nother noob question: Were the small black batteries also rebalanced for NAR AI?

why are you guys calling them predictions if you're not really predicting anything?
I predict the first round winners being Squirrel_Monkey, Pwnator, Clickbeetle, and Naryar (I say S_M rather than me because of his true popup and that his VS might punt my bots out of the arena).

I'm fine with using FBS.py, but giving it to a bar-SnS and setting the spinspeed to a low value is a dumb idea. It beat out Crosswind with them!

Really my team should be Team Uncia, but I'm seeing a nice variety here.
Thoughts (why are you guys calling them predictions if you're not really predicting anything?):
Call of the Wild: They all look good apart from the LW which sacrifices weaponry for wedginess.
World War II: Look good but I somehow worry about the MW...
Freezepops: Well, at least they look like designs that would be made in real life…
Team Pwn: Deadly bots, but I still wonder if that is too much weight on the Dual Perm.
All Hallows Eve: Good-looking team apart from the MW.
Bash ‘em Up: Decent bots, but I’m not sure about the wedge on the HW and unless the MW has enough battery power, that Perm is going to be spinning slowly. BTW Bubbleman, it's "tertiary".
Coleoptera: I don't understand the LW, but the MW and HW look promising.
The Ogre’s Lair: Not bad but that is a pretty exposed front on the MW.
Team S_M: The flipper could have had more flipping power, and the HW more weapons, but that true popup is something I have to watch out for in the first round.
Team Uncia: If all goes well, then the LW should survive for some time. I mostly have to worry about my bots getting flanked.
Team Plasma: The LW and MW may be troublesome, but if the HW is still using the same fail bindings then it might not last long.
Anonymous: The LW sucks and the HW might be too unstable, but the MW has potential.
Team That Took 10 Minutes to Make: I can't find a lot to say except:
Statues of Christ: That actually looks decently built for a bye team…

The bot that comes to most peoples' minds is Neglected Waterbug, but Rabid Pitbull , Little Darling, and Leprosy are pretty tough too.
