Yes Death, it is. He said that you had until the 24th to submit your bot. Because you didn't, Seastalker and his bot, Rage III, are now in the tourney.

Predictions time!!!
BrasOuvert: Pretty slow for a rammer. Just might be Iron Spaghetti's downfall.
Strengh: Sheck Spinners (Iron Spaghetti)
Weakness: Armored Hammers (System Flailure), fast rammers (No Name #12)
ByeyE: Lack of an active weapon may be this bots downfall, could get eaten by HS's
Strengh: Unwedged rammers (No Name #12)
Weakness: Horizontal spinners (Thumper, Ripterra), Hammers (System Flailure)
Diarrhea of a Madman: How original, this mini-mako by the Mako builder himself may go far.
Strength: Unwedged bots (Hostility II, Smoker)
Weakness: Quick rammers (Rage III) Cage Spinners (Thumper)
Enfilad3: A quick popup, if the sides stay safe, it should do well. AI may work to make an advantage
Strength: Bots with no wedge (Mace 2), Sheck Spinners (Iron Spaghetti)
Weakness: Horizontal Spinners (Ripterra, Interventionism 2.0)
FIRST ROUND FINALE!: Not very good, the name is its future.

Strength: Bots with unarmored fronts (Ripterra, BrasOuvert)
Weakness: Quick rammers (Rage III), Vertical Spinners (Gohem, No Leaf Clover) Armored Hammers (System Flailure, Ham-mer Sandwich 2)
Gohem: Another Mako, with weak extenders all around.
Strength: Uninvertible bots (Psycho Sweeper), Unprotected bots (Mace 2)
Weakness: Quick Rammers (No Name #12, Rage III)
Ham-mer Sandwich 2: Good armored front, but will have trouble if the plow comes off with the weak extenders.
Strength: Bots with open tops (Slasher, NOS-BOT), Horizontal Spinners (Ripterra, Hostility II)
Weakness: Armored top bots (Hazardous Contraption, Layziee), Vertical Spinners (Smitemare 8, No Leaf Clover, Gohem, Diarrhea of a Madman)
Haymaker: A great, invertible sit-and-spinner that delivers some massive hits.
Small arena may be its downfall.
Strength: Bots with exposed sides (Red, Red, Green?, Enfilad3, Hazardous Contraption)
Weakness: Fast Rammers (Rage III, No Name #12)
Hazardous Contraption: Should be good against bots with alot of ground clearance, could be the one to defeat Haymaker
Strength: Bots with big ground clearance (BrasOuvert, No Name #12) Hammers (Ham-mer Sandwich 2, System Flailure)
Weakness: Horizontal Spinners (Ripterra, Undercutter) Sit and Spinners (Haymaker, Ironic isn't it:oops:)
Hostility II: A horizontal spinner with little reach, weapons of choice seem a little weak
Strength: Bots with relatively unprotected fronts and sides(ByeyE, Red, Red, Green?)
Weakness: Hammers (System Flailure, Ham-mer Sandwich 2) Horizontal Spinners (Iron Spaghetti, Interventionism 2.0) Sit-and-Spinner (Haymaker)
Interventionism 2.0: Looks like a solid Horizontal Spinner.
Strengths: Hammers (Ham-mer Sandwich 2)
Weakness: Bots with low ground clearance (Enfilad3, Pscho Sweeper) Vertical Spinners (Diarrhea of a Madman, Gohem
Iron Spaghetti: A good Sheck Spinner, will have trouble with low ground clearance bots
Strengths: Bots with exposed sides (Enfilad3, Go Barbie, Go, Diarrhea of a Madman)
Weaknesses: Wide, Durable bots (BrasOuvert)
Layziee: A possible dark horse, good against many types of bots
Strength: Uninvertable bots (ThunderStruck!) Exposed front bots (Smoker, Enfilad3, Systam Flailure)
Mace 2: A sub-par face-spinner, but has nothing if discs come off
Strength: Not very well weaponed bots (Psycho Sweeper)
Weakness: All bots with a moving weapon, along with BrasOuvert
No Leaf Clover: A vertical spinner with an odd wedge
Strength: Unwedged bots (No Name #12), Tall bots (T I T A N)
Weakness: Low bots (Interventionism 2.0, Rage III)
No Name #12: A rammer that would be much better off with a wedge
Strength: Bots with exposed, vital components (T I T A N, Undercutter)
Weakness: Any bot with a wedge, especially popups (Enfilad3)
NOS-BOT: A well-protected face-spinner, though I am not sure that the Spiked clubs were the right choice
Strengths: High ground clearance bots: (Ripterra, No Name #12)
Psycho Sweeper:A Devil II like rammer, but an active weapon would have helped
Strength: High up bots (No Name #12) Face Spinners(NOS-BOT) Hammers(Ham-mer Sandwich 2)
Weakness: Almost any bot with active weapon weapon
Rage III: A quick, solid rammer
Strength: Bots with exposed, vital extenders (Smoker, Gohem)
Weakness: Hammers (System Flailure, Ham-mer Sandwich 2)
Red, Red, Green?: A relatively inadequate vertical spinner.
Strength: Bots that can get on top of the blade to get their underside's pounded.
Weakness: Any low bot, especially horizontal spinners.
Red Tide VI: A great bot from a great builder. One of the Dark Horses of the tourney.
Strength: A very good all around bot, especially to bots with open wheels or areas (Red, Red, Green?, Slasher)
Weakness: Fast, Low bots (Enfilad3)
Ripterra: THE BEST BOT IN THE TOURNEY!!!!! Just kidding. I thought it was adequate until I saw the other bots. Very quick spinup on the disks, and strong side protection. It tears up if it gets under skirts. It also can take repeated hits from sit and spinners, because of the 60000 or so hitpoint treads. The Tank Tread Brothers have the best chance against Haymaker.
Strength:Bots with skirts (Diharrhea of a Madman) Sit and spinners (Haymaker)
Weakness: Hammers (System Flailure, Ham-mer Sandwich 2) Bots with low wedges (Hazardous Contraption, Interventionism 2.0)
Slasher: A relatively sturdy drum bot, if lacking in weapon teeth. Good front protection.
Strength: Bots with no wedge (Ripterra, No Name #12)
Weakness: Armored Hammer bot (System Flailure)
Smitemare 8: Look:shock: its Mako!!! AGAIN:shock::shock: A good solid Vertical spinner, one of the better of the Makos
Strength: Bots with exposed parts (Smoker, BrasOuvert)
Weakness: Anything that can hit the side (Rage III).
Smoker: This wheel cutter could do good things if it is lucky, but I think that those extenders are too exposed to make big luck happen against hammers. M
Strength: Bots with open wheels (BrasOuvert, ByeyE)
Weakness: Hammers (System Flailure, Ham-mer Sandwich 2) Treaded bots (Ripterra, T I T A N)
System Flailure: One of the most interesting and original bots in the tourney, the only thing to worry about here is its lack of armor.
Strength: Unprotected bot tops (Ripterra, Undercutter, NOS-BOT)
Weakness: Bots with their weapons on top (Layziee, Interventionism 2.0, Hazardous Contraption)
T-4: This is probably the most feared bot in the tourney, as the arena is so easy to be flipped out if. Hopefully it doesn't self-right itself out of the arena though.
Strength: Any bot it can get under
Weakness: Vertican Spinners (Gohem, No Leaf Clover, Diarrhea of a Madman, Smitemare 8)
Thumper: A powerful cage spinner, with a weapon that shoud destroy most other bots.
Strength: Open bot sides (NOS-BOT, Mace 2, Enfilad3)
Weakness: Heavily guarded vertical spinners (Diarrhea of a Madman, Smitemare 8.
ThunderStruck!: Another dark horse in the tourney, if the disk isn't attacked by a hammer bot, it will go a long ways in the tourney.
Strength: High up bots (Ripterra, No Name #12) Horizontal Spinners (Undercutter, Ripterra)
T I T A N: The second of the Tank Tread Brothers, and the bigger of the two. This bot's weapons may be its downfall.
Strength: Exposed parts, (Smoker, Undercutter) Hammers (System Flailure, Ham-mer Sandwich 2
Weakness: Low bots (Rage III, ByeyE, Interventionism 2.0)
Undercutter: The name says it all about the weapons. This bot looks like an excellent wheel cutter.
Strength: Exposed Wheels (Mace 2, Smitemare 8)
Weakness: Treads (T I T A N, Ripterra)
I will choose three bots that I think one of them will win for each award.
1st place: Enfilad3, T-4, Haymaker
Coolest Bot: System Flailure, Haymaker, Red Tide VI
BTRSHDBBDDTBL: Haymaker, System Flailure, Rage III
Most Feared Opponent: Diarrhea of a Madman, T-4, ThunderStruck!
Best Rookie: Enfilad3, Hazardous Contraption, Thumper
I did not put FIRST ROUND FINALE on any strengths because all can beat it, and I did not put T-4 on any weaknesses because the arena makes it good against all.

Whyachi tribars are much more durable for their weight, and also, take out the ant battery and put a red one in there. You have the weight. A bot like this would be good in stock.

Hey, Robo, i have some usefully Superheavyweights for battling purposes too, not only some "pretty-pretty" bots... But it still isn't fair.
7416
« on: August 03, 2008, 07:31:18 AM »
Those would be some pretty good features. 
7417
« on: August 02, 2008, 07:42:44 PM »
How do I get them approved, and it still says available anyways.
7418
« on: August 02, 2008, 04:13:38 PM »
Thats what would make me happy, as long as it is not matched up with a mini-Mako
7419
« on: August 02, 2008, 03:53:40 PM »
TTB Rules!  You are all underestimating Ripterra. I think that you are all forgetting that the treads provide side protection that far surpasses anything that any wheel could take. Ripterra will not go far, but it will do better than everyone thinks.
