To be honest, there's bound to be a few problems - effectively, Freez is running 4 entry-level tournaments at the same time. I commend him for keeping on top of it all. In fact, have a +rep.

True dat

Even though Conraaa had the better bot, I still think that I was a bit robbed by those killsaws hindering me twice:

The first stopping me from following up on Conraaa after he was flipped

And when I was bloody thrown back and immobilised by them

[powerrave]

So I won my match, but I do wonder why my weapon didn't spin up at some point.

[Badnik96]

Well nosuprise I beat Masterath, but Ounce I knew was gonna be a challenge. Great match dude.

Same here: My weapon didn't start spinning until after Massimov's bot came in and royally screwed everything up :P

Ah well. With Shock Therapy, it was just meant to look nice. I think it did it's job :P

[GoldenFox93]

Don't know how the combat side of things is going to go considering my draws, but I think I've done alright in the realism aspect, as have several of the others. I think that's good to see- that crap entries like Garvin's are not going to be tolerated this time around.

No offence, Boss. But why are you still bawwing over Garv?

Whew, that was a close one. Good job man and good luck in the next round.

Bawwing.
 
I am not bawwing. I was referencing how completely unrealistic entries have got in in the past, with Garvin in Series 1 as the prime example, and how it was good that more realistic entries are taking priority, to prevent repeats of the incident for the same reasons.

And don't use that term, please- I despise it.

I wouldn't consider it bawwing, personally, it might be that he takes IRL building quite seriously, but Garvin entered by far and away the least IRL robot ever submitted into an IRL tournament. It was basically a substandard DSL bot, and he got the last spot in the tournament, meaning GF93 couldn't enter with what he'd built. When he saw what it was, he was appaled - as we all were - and a few of us went so far as to call for his robot to be removed from the tournament, and replaced with GF93's. Eventually it went ahead as it was, and Garvin lost in Round 1. I think that's kind of what sparked the recent "restrictions" on IRL building. They're not really proper rules, though.
 
But he should be able to do pretty well here. I reckon his bots look quite good, especially with the way all the stuff matches up on the heavyweight. Touches like that make a good IRL robot into a great one. =)

NFX just ninja'd me and asked my question, thanks 

On another note, how does my MW look compared to Mike's? I'm really not expecting to get through.

However, now people just bend the rules to try and win.

I'd rather lose in the first round and win a best looking bot award

Same here. Although, I did try to balance looks and combat ability- hence why Juggernaut has ramming plates on its front, and Pyromancer has those big teeth.

[NFX]

Same here. Though there's no harm in going for both. =P

[smashysmashy]

I'm not clever enough to think of those things

Also,

[smashysmashy]
