OK guys, listen, I can't please you all. If I let Garvin continue the tournament, half of you will be upset, and if I disqualify him, the other half of you will be mad.

Honestly, I didn't see anything unrealistic about Garvin's bot, so I won't disqualify him. I'm sorry to anyone who finds this unsportsmanlike.
OK then- what should I do? Is my entry still required?

1. What do you mean?
As in you cut out 23 seconds in the first video, you should have re-done the match if you pressed the Fraps record key late. Don't be lazy ;)

No, I just had another scene from the beginning to that part and forgot to put it in. Whoops.  :gawe:

(edit): Entire Round 1 filmed, 2 matches go to the judges.

You really should use the f10 cam, it's easier to see the opponents that way

Also the tail on Hard Drive (my bot) is just a tail. No srimech.

PREDICTIONS

Conraaa- Looks tough, should do well if it can last 3 minutes
GRW- I like Biohazard flippers, too bad this one didn't last 6 more seconds :P
Garvin- Do I have to say it?
NFX- I love this bot. Shame I have to beat it >:P
Vertigo: Another sick realistic bot. Maybe this think can beat Garvin. I HAS FAITH!
Scrap- Nice job getting to Round 2, but IDK if it can beat 123.
R1885- I hardly expected one FBD in this tourney, much less two. I dunno how this one will fare against Thy's rammer.
MassimoV- This bot looks pretty cool. Too bad it lost.
027- It has a chance to win this thing. As long as it doesn't come up against Mike or Preytor.
Me- I have a chance as long as I'm not flipped by anything :P
Mike- Kinda ruins the spirit of this with the tiny chassis, but looks kinda like Mauler on steroids :P Don't like it too much though...
123- THIS LOOKS AWESOME and obviously performs pretty well too.
S_M- I love this bot. It just looks so professional-looking. Rooting for this guy!
Thyrus- Well if looks could kill...
DSC- Sweet bot. Too bad it has to fight 027's spinner D:
Preytor- I like the side teeth. Gives it an IRL feel. Should go pretty far

My main worry is S_M going over my bot and damaging the top of my robot. I'm pretty sure that I will survive the 3 minutes, it's more how much damage affects the judges decision. If it's come to that.

Oh and freeziez you say you're recorded all the round 1 matches, but you arent posting them? Oh you tease.

I know that, but that still leaves 4 matches which we could watch while they talk. :P
I have a feeling I came across as impatient then. Oh well.

How can you be sure Vertigo?
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

I think one of them may be Me vs S_M. Not sure though.

I've filmed the entire Round 1 and I was wrong, 3 matches go to the judges.

As much as I respect the builders, that entire third row of bots is IRL unrealistic if you ask me. Four VS on one bot in real life?
