Aftershock is a really good bot but I kinda doubt it will win. if a good flipper tosses it on it's back it could do alot of damage to it self

The problem is gonna be a good flipper reaching the grand final. There's only 5 flippers left and they're in pretty stacked heats.

True
I think Mentorn doesnt want a flipper to win.

I'm not sure I like the randomised tire button. Letting the house robots have a bit more say is good, but the dial makes me think more of a kids game show then a gladitorial contest.

Though what if they built on it? Would we have the Wheel of (Mis)Fortune in season 10?
I'd want the 3rd option to be a dropzone, where it's positioned right in front of the pit tire, and drops if it lands on "DROP"

The fourth is a gunge dunk for the opposing team(s)

Gonna throw down some predictions for tonight.

MELEES:

Behemoth v Cobra v Eruption v Hobgoblin: Behemoth and Eruption to qualify. Pretty easy for both. Can't see the others giving them problems.

Cherub v Draven v PP3D v Push To Exit: PP3D and Push To Exit to qualify. Might depend on who PP3D goes for first. But Cherub has exposed wheels and Draven is nicely shaped to carve chunks out of and to get flipped around by PTE.

HEAD TO HEADS:
I'm not sure how the order of the battles are done but I'll hazard a guess at it.

Eruption v Push To Exit: Eruption to win via knockout.

PP3D v Behemoth: PP3D to win via knockout.

Eruption v Behemoth: Eruption to win via knockout.

PP3D v Push To Exit: PP3D to win via Judges.

PP3D v Eruption: PP3D to win via knockout.

Behemoth v Push To Exit: Push To Exit to win via Judges.

Standings:
PP3D - 8
Eruption - 6
Push To Exit - 2
Behemoth - 0

HEAT FINAL:

PP3D v Eruption: PP3D to win.

I hope people realise that the roboteers have no say whatsoever in the judging decisions and that
doesn't get any flack for tonight's episode.
