Minotaur probably has the most powerful weapon, at least from those that didn't burn down...
It also has nice armor, but very poor maneuverability. Good flipper/grappler will take it out any day...

I believe HyperShock won't go out due to electronics this year and that's still my favourite.
The boring champ won't win again, that just can't be!

Wild cards getting ranked higher than 25th is weird...
Also surprised about some wildcards, but whoever only has 2 wheels and no protection def shouldn't get one, at least that they got right...

Against Splatter and an unknown third robot. I wanted to see them in the knockout stages though.

I don't know, something with a wedge. You see something driving in on the right when Rotator flies away.

You just see a corner of it enter the screen before the picture fades, but I think it might be Lockjaw.

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.

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

Uuuuuuuuuugh. Has nobody learned anything in 14 years?

Anyways, here are my opinions on the fights and the bracket. Better late than never.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.

MikeNCR was there, and so was SKBT. I was going to be on a team but we nearly got accepted.
