Oof. 27th. I blame society.

GoldenFox93 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 24, 2011, 12:54:42 AM »

Ooh, the fourth seed? That's pretty awesome- I'm now in the same league as Killertron, Panic Attack, Razer, HypnoDisc and Bigger Brother, more or less

FOTEPX · « **Reply #10 on:** November 24, 2011, 04:58:54 AM »

Lucky!: Mauzorium
Didn't See It Coming: Totality
Nice Skin, Bro: The Highlander 2 (Glad I gave up my spot for that)
IRL: War Monger (Scrap Daddy <3)
Only In RA2: SHW Finals
Crowd Favourite: GHOST (S_m)
World's Smallest Violin Award: Shark (Urjak)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
About 21st seed; I am more than happy to take that spot. Next year, expect me to go up a few notches.

Also, I'm sad to announce, that after 3 championships, I will be retiring Toriodore after the next tournament.

Also Also, I already have all my robots built for BB5. Wornado 2 has 4WD and a Dual Perm, Toriodore: The Final Chapter has Bear Claws and stronger armour, Shock Therapy is now Dreamcaster and has 4 Razors, and my HW is a secret for now.

Oh no...

The 8th seed curse refers to a superstition formed amongst Robot Wars fans. In the four series that the seed number existed, the number eight seed never made the semi-finals, this being the only seed in the top 16 to suffer from this.

> Gemini lost in the heat final to Tornado in Series 4.
> 3 Stegs to Heaven lost in the heat final to Bigger Brother in Series 5.
> Panic Attack lost in the heat final to Terrorhurtz in Series 6.
> Panic Attack lost in Round 2 to Tough As Nails in Series 7.

Actually, should I not be 9-7? Freezerburn went 3-1, RPM went 2-2, SWARM was 0-1, and I went 4-3 in this one, did I not? I'd still be in the same spot afterwards, though.

Freezerburn went 2-1, I did not count the third-place playoff as a win or loss, only a tiebreaker between tied records.

I'll rearrange the 0-1 bots now, though, they haven't been sorted yet.
(edit): That's done.

Also, voting's over. Awards will be up shortly.

*Crashes headfirst into thread*

Well, here I am- I'd like to take this one, if I may

The SHW Championship, Best Battle and the Most Realistic for me? That's a pretty good haul

Likewise, congratulations to everyone who won something, and I'm looking forward to next time- I'll see what I can put together for Battlebots Series 5.
And hopefully when it comes around NFX, I'll be able to go up against you in the finals. One gentleman warrior to another in respectful combat befitting of our rivalry

Indubitably, old chap. =D

It is odd how we've never once fought each other, despite our rivalry.
