Honestly would have been a lot worse if I found out halfway through the tourney...I'd have been very annoyed then! :laughing

You've done such a professional job running this and it is really a joy to watch. Controversies happen and probably always will, so it's good to see that you handled it as smooth as possible. :)

Thank you: after a hectic day of dealing with this and the aftermatch, I needed to hear this!


You're also up against the winner of the New Blood...undefeated so far...maybe a lobster will pinch it's undefeated streak away? ;)
Guess who forgot about that. :dumb)

If it makes you feel better: I love Lobstertastic and hope it does well! :heart_smiley:

Tournament Archives / Orc's Wars Series 2 Update
« on: February 14, 2018, 03:02:13 PM »
Hey all,
           so we had a situation where the retaining champion of OW had used stacked teeth on their robot. I had already begun filming so of course this threw a spanner in the works. After thinking for a while, I came to the conclusion that The Tinned Tuna would have it's stacked teeth stripped to make it fairer to the other oppenents as well as losing it's title...on top of that, another competitor pulled out as when they found out about Tuna, they agreed it wasn't fair to do that and admitted they had done the same thing.

So all the seeds went up a place, resulting in MrBK's Slap Shot V2.5 becoming the new champion and a new 23rd seed being crowned: Flying Wings by TGM.

So with a robot being pulled out: we had a spare qualifying place. I wanted to give this to a builder who hadn't qualified with a new machine, resulting in a 3 way melee of my own picks of robots that stood out to me: Urchin by MrBK, Wraith by Badnik and Mandela by JDG. Urchin won and has now got the final qualified place.

Of course due to all of this and to keep it fair, I re-randomised the match-ups...there are below...sorry about this situation! I'm glad I picked up on it now instead of halfway through the series.

I will hopefully have some OW goodness for you soon! :mrgreen:

Personally Im more a fan of the yellow, but this is still great.
Seconded about the yellow.  It not having your usual charcoal and red scheme is throwing me off, but I really liked the yellow

Thirded (is that even a word) about the yellow...now it just reminds me of a Horizontal Splicer...it's cool but plain.

Congrats to all who qualified: here's how the heats look!

What are your predictions? Videos won't be up as fast for these I don't reckon as they take more time to look better...but I'll get them up as soon as! Thanks for being patient!

Real Robotics Discussion / Re: BATTLEBOTS SEASON THREE CONFIRMED
« on: February 07, 2018, 12:25:29 PM »
Checking out the site, the filming dates are pencilled in for March 24-April 9 2018, shooting in Los Angeles, CA.
That's not a lot of time for a new team to build a Heavyweight robot for the event, but it's possible for a few teams to build a robot within the strict time limit before the event if they really work straight on it, seeing that this happen with the reboot of Robot Wars. But it's nice to hear the news for the fans of the show to rejoice after over a year and a half waiting.
If you read Phillipa's other post you'd know that they already told several teams months ago and hence they've already started work on upgrading/building new bots.

I was thinking the exact same thing, several teams have been teasing this for a while now!

Crap. Somehow i didnt submit something to redeem myself from the last Orc Wars D:

well, I didn't enter.

at least I had another chance to enter season 3.

The side competitions will open after the main series! Perhaps we'll catch you guys there instead? ;)

Tournament Archives / Orc's Wars Series 2 - SWAPS/ENTRIES CLOSED!
« on: February 04, 2018, 05:04:34 PM »
That's it! Time's up! Thank you all for entering! Here is our final list of combatants with all swaps noted (I believe)! (Also, the seeds aren't listed here as they don't need to go through qualifying, just in case anyone is wondering why!)

With that being said, I am now going to sort out the Qualifying Match-Ups: these will be four way melees with 2 bots surviving and heading straight into the main series! Good luck all and I'll get back to you with the match line-up shortly!

Roughly 4 hours till swaps end guys! I'll also be announcing the Qualifying match-ups tonight too! :mrgreen:

WE HAVE OUR LAST ROBOT:

We have all the spaces filled: thank you for entering everyone! I know a few people have been asking if they can swap one robot out for another to which I say: YAY SIRS/MADAMS YOU MAY!

Each person can swap out ONE robot for another as of this point up until the 4th of February 2018, 11pm UK TIME! I will say one rule: for the most part...NO SPINNERS! We have enough of the buggers...I may make exceptions depending on situations (for example New Blood entries returning like Wraith)

I think that is all...pick wisely my friends! :mrgreen:
