BattleBots: Splash, Brackets, and Videos

[GoldenFox93]

Garvin's robot is absolutely dreadful. why was that even allowed into the competition? I told you we'd get PO'd at someone who entered a robot with no skin and no attempt to look IRL, and sure enough, we did. I hope Garvin goes straight out in the first round.

I'm actually reasonably confident with my match, in all honesty.

And worst of all, he's pretty much robbed me of a place  :/

I would much rather Garvin got kicked out and you were brought in instead. At least you'd have actually <expletive>ing TRIED.

I thought I send in the reskinned version of my bot.

I know it will lose in round 1, clearly it can't fight a HS with dual perm, but it be nice to at least look right.

[freeziez]

I thought I send in the reskinned version of my bot.

Yes, you did, but they kept crashing my game, and I was tired, so I didn't bother.

First 2 matches filmed.

Garvin should be disqualified.

erm... If Vertigo's bot lasts the entire 3 minutes, I guarantee you it will win, judged by my points system.

[Thyrus]

Predictions:

Conraaaaaaa: Nice looking pusher. I hope there`s a hidden weapon in this otherwise it musst be a bot with a very though armor.
GRW: I guess that`s the Biohazard style flipper. love the Panic Attack look of it. not sure how it will perform
Garvin: SFTW! Not even trying to make a realistic looking bot. could do some damage but I hope it`s going out in the early stages.
NFX: One of my favorites! looks realistic and can do well.
Vertigo: A bit disapointed about the paintshop...no warningstripes :P will do well against an non invertible bot but in this arena the walls are to high to flipp an HW OOTA.
Scrap: my favorite for this. invertible and pushing pover. awesome paintjob and idea behind this. I just want to point out that I didn`t copie the idea for an pusher from your entry. got mine ready before I saw this one.
R1885: not sure what it does (it looks like barbarous to me) but I like it! Good luck against me in round 1 :P
MassimoV: Nice bot. may won`t work when inverted.
027 LB: well. it`a a shellpinner. will do whatever shellpinners do. not the worst in this.
Badnik: I guess this is one of the favorites. powerfull weapon and I like the use of the TD arm. for srimech reasons?
MikeNCR: I must say I dislike it. It`s just an ordinary DSL entry. But cause of this it will do well.
123STW: the bot itself looks great BUT I dislike the hingewedge and the razor spam.
S_M: another favorite of mine. It will do well I guess. chassis is protectet and it`s invertible. just wondering where the sponsor decal is
Thyrus: Best bot of this tourney. It will win this. no question
DSC: I just say: when I reach round 2 I`m fuuuu`ed up
Preytor: well.. an invertible rammer.

[GoldenFox93]

Predictions: Anyone but Garvin

It won't, only has Plastic 5

Did you notice I changed the "name" of the reskinned bot?  I did send you the new binding for it.

If you just copy in the new one then yeah it will crash.

[freeziez]

Predictions:

MMV > 123
Scrap > GRW
S_M > Conraa
Preytor > Mike
Badnik > NFX
Vert > Garvin
R1885 > Thyrus
027 > DSC

[Conraaa]

A few things.

1) Conraaa. 3 a's. Three. Just fyi.
2) Where's the sponsor decal on GTG's? And how did you let that in Freeziez? Over Gf93 of all things?
3) I love Thyrus' bot
4) My match is going to be interesting. A very fast bot with no weapons vs one which can't be immobilized and is effectively a spinning weapon. I can't see me winning it personally. Unless I do really well on control and agression points.
5) I was going to post predictions for round 1 but mine are pretty identical to freeziez. Bar I think Thyrus < R1885

Edit: I meant Thyrus > R1885 >_>

[Squirrel_Monkey]

S_M: another favorite of mine. It will do well I guess. chassis is protectet and it`s invertible. just wondering where the sponsor decal is

@Conraaaaaaaaaa


Thanks

your predictions of me vs Ribbs is just the same as freeziez :P

[freeziez]

R1885 > Thyrus

Thyrus < R1885

-_-

[Conraaa]

I meant Thyrus beat R1885. >_>

DSC's Predictions:

Conraaa: Tank, although it doesn't look like it'd actually be damamging. Might have been better with the Killdozer plough, but we'll see. SAXTON HALE MAY OR MAY NOT APPROVE.
GRW: Looks decent, flippy, depends if the skirts are at all effective.
Garvin: SFTW is being polite. I could say many angry things about this, but I just wish this a speedy exit.
NFX: Looks like it's going to be a contender with that weapon setup. Nice skin too.
Vertigo: Skin is slightly meh, but I dont doubt this will be a good flipper. however in this arena it's not an adavntage.
Scrap: Another Tank, and could screw a few people with a well timed push onto the wall. Has to be one of the favourites.
R1885: Barberous in style, dunno how effective it'll be in combat.
MassimoV: A decent-looking bot damagewise, but absolutely no style looks-wise. A robot that dove into the scrap-parts bin magnetised.
027 LB: A shell spinner. I'm doomed.
Badnik: Going to be formidable, although it looks very unprotected around the sides and back. It's a different story if anyone can get around there though
MikeNCR: Bog standard DSL shell spinner, like 027LB, but had the potential to look very Mauler-ish. Will probably do well in combat, but won't be a fan-favourite.
123STW: Looks unique in this field. A better draw and this would have probably gone far, but against Badnik's bot it's going to struggle.
S_M: Another Barberous! But at least this one looks the business. Might surprise.
Thyrus: TAAAANK. Looks like GBH2 in a different paintjob, but may not do too well in combat. Depends on what it does.
DSC: Probably a SFTW. Probably going to get wrecked.
Preytor: Invalid Query? A smashybox, will do well depending on who it fights.

[RpJk]

Vertigo's and S_M's look amazing. I'm betting on both of them to make it to the semis.

[freeziez]

I meant Thyrus beat R1885. >_>

Yeah, I was kinda iffy on that one too. Could go either way.

First match uploading to YouTube, second saving to my computer now.

(edit): First match up!

[Vertigo]

Where's the sponsor decal on garvin's bot?

[freeziez]

Where's the sponsor decal on garvin's bot?

Right under the titanium sheet. nvrmnd

It's behind the right wheel, it's Pepsi.

[Thyrus]

pressing "w" whole the time :D
