Battlebots 6 SBV

[Pressure]

My guess for my bots first fights.

Ingot: Either Cataclysm or Poor Mans Nuclear Power Bot. I'm hoping to go against PMNPB, it looks the weakest of the two. Ingot isn't really a tested bot in competition, but PMNPB looks like an easier challenge for it.

Billet 3: Terminal Gelocity or Toriodore - EVOKER. For the easiest fight, it would be TG. Billet 3 is a proven bot in MW, placing high in BB5. Toriodore looks vicious but those wedges/ramps look like a unknown quantity for me.

Slab: Drums of Chaos or Cyclonic Destruction: Both different types of rotating weapons, both i'm unsure if Slab can weather their attacks. I have a bad track record against drums, so Cyclonic Destruction looks an easier challenge for Slab.

[Camaro Kid]

Prediction for Grownder: Facing a vertical spinner with larger discs. Dont think I can pass the first round 

[ty4er]

dont wanna go against vb first round but oh well

the rest of the brackets look ok to me i suppose

[Naryar]

OK, as expected HW and SHW brackets don't seem very hard.

MW... not sure.

[Scrapyard24c]

OK, as expected HW and SHW brackets don't seem very hard.

MW... not sure.

You never know about RA2 Tournaments.  One tourney you dominate the competition, the next you go out in the first round.

[Thyrus]

Why do I have to face nary so early in both MW and HW? The round after I beat him is supereasy. Not sure how my SHW round against FPX will go

[Mystic2000]

LW: Might win if lucky do to exposed chassis
MW: the trapping overkill blades looks fragile against a dual S3 discs HS
HW: Time to be gut-ripped by a stupid drum
SHW: Unsure might outweapon him just have to hope that the flippermakers holding the hammers of my quadribar don't get hit

Your time has come ! Tremble ! Quake !

YOUUUUURRR TIIIME HAAS COOOOOMME !  TRRRREEEEEEEMBBLE ! QUUUUUUAAAAAAAKE !

Madd vs Drums of War: Madd isn't good at getting under things unless it can hit the wheels or the opponent doesn't have near perfect ground clearance. DoW's raised front (it has to be, right?) is easy pickings, but the question is which will fail first - Madd's iron spike, or Drums of War.

Ronin II vs Sir Lance-a-frog: Not quite sure what I'm up against here, but I think this match would be Ronin's to lose.
OR
Ronin II vs Acaciabot 3000: Rammer vs non-damaging Flipper with spike tail: Should be Ronin's as long as it can get under once or twice.

Shard vs Just Do It: Spent 10 minutes staring at the splash until I realized I had an outdated version. This is probably one of the more interesting matchups Shard could of got. Can't call it, but if you go by weapon weight it's advantage Shard (3x50kg hammers vs what looks like 30kg sledgehammers on a bar)


EDIT: These predictions are assuming it is decided by damage, I forgot there'll be judges.

[Mr. AS]

well im thoroughly screwed on most if not all of my matchups. oh well.

[Badnik96]

Hmm...

Wonder Wasp goes up against an HS first either way. Should be a nice test of its ability.
Hellcopter battles 090901 (on wheels)'s Kheper thing. Doubt I'll win that but who knows?
BuffalOWNED fights Quietus. Reasonably confident about this one, I'll be using the flipper setup for this fight, as Quietus isn't invertible.
Super Hexagon gets Persona. God dammit, and I was hoping I could get a win with this thing... Maybe if he can't get his weapon up to speed in time, but Hexagon is rather slow...


@ HA: Titanium Terror uses pistons and burst motors to achieve a Ziggy-like effect.


@ Scrapyard: Dude, you took those straight from the show!

[Sylandro]

Pikmin Dispenser V.S Bye
....Yeah, i'm doomed.
But i think i can still kick SKBT's ass.

[Thyrus]

Des Divious/Drums of Worship - looking forward to this but I guess DoW will winn this
octave of speed > Doomcow
tys longnamebot > Crude Oil
Persona > Superhexagon
Girl you want > Komodo
Brute > M A S H E E N
SirGrindsalot > Sanzen
Strenght, Lust and Power >  Withouth a Purpose
Klazo Maximus > Tidle Wave
Whyachis Revenge > The Devils Last Dance
Blackout > Train

My MW is basically a tin can with a spinny thing on it 

[Naryar]

Comments on the LW bracket.

Massimov : eh... it's not bad... it would look better with larger beaters.
Badnik: Looks boring TBH.
STC: I like ankle biter. Not too sure about the srimech, although it could do well depending on drive.
Mike : Just as cool as ever, hurray mike ! Very fearsome weapon for an IRL LW.
Pressure : It's cool.It is gonna get chewed by the first decent HS it meets.
Ty4er: It looks really cool but... it's still just a boring pusher ?
Plazmic : Same as ty: looks cool. Boring fighter.
Martymidget : Now that I like, it's cool and decently effective
Conraaaaa: It's a drum and totally not OP... naaah. It's pretty BIG.
Mr. as : So I hope it IS ridiculously fast... else it's pretty pointless.
Virus Bomb : Very cool, well it's built by Virus Bomb. I have no idea how the Hworf bar does though.
Thyyyyyrrruss : another bot falls to Ty4er Syndrome. Looks very nice to be sure. But it's a BORING WEDGE.
Mazakari : I like it. No, i'm not kidding. Doesn't seem like a poor fighter as well, I'll be sure to watch this one.
Natef : It's... ok. Nothing to see here, next.
Scrapyard24C: Probably very good against the other wedges or flippers, unless it falls on a HS. Which will promptly rape it.
Sylandro: For Sylandro level it IS pretty damn nice. I guess it's not bad.
027 LB : nothing interesting here, another generic entry
alexgrfan: Nicely built. Bet it will spin like a top though ?
Wolfsbane: No. Just no. No jonzufetishbots, please. The weapon is horrible iirc, as well.
SharkByte: Not the worst... Does have a nice skin though.
Powerrave:Nice, other than that... yeah it's one of the best HS in the competition.
Jonzu95: Nothing interesting there.
Wild Boar : no really... i fail to see the aesthetic interest, and it's probably really bad in combat.
Kurt Wylde : Nothing interesting there. Horrible fail weapon.
Nicsan: Is that even IRL ? It's gonna outweapon lots of things.
Cuda : Generic drum. Bah.
Redline: I like the design and weapon. It's also pretty cool, go redline !
Fotepx : No, too messy.
Lightning S: I am sorry but this is DSL realistic to me.
DSC: ... No, not going to outwedge anything.

and the rest will be later.

[Sylandro]

Wild Boar : no really... i fail to see the aesthetic interest, and it's probably really bad in combat.

I approve.

[Gropaga]

I just realised that my LW robot would flip over at start of the match in the Battlebox but whatever.

[Probably Rob]

also there is no animosity at all between both of these

Well, derp. That's why I said it could be a Gentlemen's Agreement. Do you know what that is?

[AlexGRFan97]

LW: If my AI can keep hitting the side/exposed front of Wild Boar, knock its flipper off and not get pushed around too much I'll definitely win. Voltergeist doesn't look that much of a threat either.
MW: Hmm, a bit iffy on SoJ because it looks so similar. If Massimo will let me choose the configuration and I go with the scoop, it'll be a flipfest. If I go with the drum, it will be a lot closer but I have the potential to KO him.
HW: Wow, a bye AND a first round against (what should be) the easiest to KO first opponent? I'll make the QFs easy as long as my AI knows what it's doing. After that, I'm pretty much screwed but who cares? I'll be seeded.
