so yeah I missed the SOW vs GR fight.
Quite happy with the wildcards tbh.

That's still bullsh**. I guess the judges considered aggression to mean "completely miss the other bot with your hammer".

Sub Zero, Photon Storm, Disco inferno they all should have gotten one. I'm not too sure about blacksmith. Glad Mike got another chance

Edit:
just saw the braket. Why are the Wildcard bots seeded higher than a bot that won it's fight? Why is Biteforce not seeded one but 4? Why does nightmare always get bots that are hard to beat? And why the hell are bronco and witch doc seeded 2 and 3?

That's some crap rule. It's like in football/soccer if people considered Giroud a better player than Iniesta because he scores more goals. This was ill conceived.

I just compared the trailer with the tournament tree again... there is either a spoiler for a very unlikely grand finale or there will be many extra fights in this

To be fair with the Disc-o-Inferno wildcard, maybe they were offered but they declined? Maybe from tech issues, or they just weren't interested, maybe due to judge result

I always felt the minibots were (in most cases) just for fun and not all that effective but SOW's strategy is brutal

iirc the new rule came from the feedback regarding Bite Force not using its active weapon during a majority of its fights.
