Mega Tento is gonna have some AWESOME tournament moments, I can feel it.
Should be pretty cool to watch it getting splattered by Poison Arrow in the Qualifiers. ;)
I actually think it'll beat Poison Arrow; it's a tiny robot that could get completely engufled.

I'm wondering why they decided to show Ultimo Destructo it a bar spinner configuration instead of its way more famous flipper configuration.

Let's be honest here. Mega Tento will get a wildcard.

That may be the only thing I can agree with you on.
i'm only a finalist in BBEAMS 7 which was a meme tournament and I just stole a NAR AI bot and made it dense as ****.
and Not Bushido was a thing that happened, I beat the #1 seed despite being #bad seed.

Yeah, I occasionally read through here and Reddit, but tend not to post too much since I really can't say much at this point. But once the season airs.......

I hope that Beta finally works and why does bronco have 6 wheels now, I think it was smarter to make the wheelgards stronger.
Disc o Inferno really looks like Hypno-Disc.
one question: Is the shell of Mega Tento made from plastic?
Sawblaze and Skorpios Look the same.
Ultimo Destructo looks like the new Tombstone.
How Will win for me: i think beta will win, cause he is a moving pulveriser
Been doing this for 8 years...

Bronco team probably realized that no amount of wheel protection would do against powerful spinners, so they ditched them completely; after all, a bad wheel-guard could fold into the wheel and immobilize the bot.  They've gone with foam tires, which can take direct hits and have chunks taken out, but still work faily well.
