Yeah, just noticed, your draw is pretty awful .

Not 100% pleased with what I've got, but I'll give it a go (been drawn up against the 1st & 3rd seed)

Conraaa · « **Reply #193 on:** March 11, 2012, 06:53:47 AM »

My draws:
Johnny 2x4 v Reavenger v Mini Mighty Mouse
Ripoff v Johnny 2x4 v LS4 (Good lord.)
Wedgie v Johnny 2x4 v TS2

Match 1 i'm confident will be a good match regardless of who wins.
After match 2 Johnny 2x4 will be going home in a bin bag though, i'm pretty sure of it. :P
Also what is Ripoff? Haven't heard the name before. I'm hoping it's made out of Balsa wood so Ls4 goes for that first.

Vertigo · « **Reply #194 on:** March 11, 2012, 10:46:05 AM »

Ohhh, that's yours?

Great to see you getting involved

And Ripoff is being built by Team Toon (Tiny Toon), out of the original Rip shell from Robot Wars, hence the name :P

Conraaa · « **Reply #195 on:** March 11, 2012, 05:58:03 PM »

...so it's not made from balsa wood? :P
And yep, that's me. Pretty sure i'm screwed, but should be fun none the less. I'm trying to find some metal I can screw to the front or something for Ls4 so I can make it to the 3rd match!

You might want to adopt my tactic from last year:

SKBT · « **Reply #197 on:** March 12, 2012, 04:20:47 PM »

I can't see hiding in the pit as a good idea... :P

Rubber Sandwich Mounts + hunk of 1/8" Steel and you could totally go 3 min with a spinner like LS4...

Even if you have to run with thinner armor in other places to add something like that I see it as worth it.

Conraaa · « **Reply #198 on:** March 12, 2012, 04:42:29 PM »

Rubber sandwich mounts? That's not a bad idea SKBT. I'm going to have to look into that.
Failing that I'll run straight at Ripoff and hope it flips me oota before any real damage happens. :P
