[MassimoV]

The Iceman-underweaponed, exposed chassis
Off the Rails-looks small but not bad
Savage 2-irl
Excelsior S-irl
Mr. Biohazard-irl
Haywire Faiground-looks decent, the downward facing ds teeth though seem like a waste of weight
Scratch n Sniff the Second-bad irl
The Riddler-what's up with those stabilizers...
Moandrian-best bot in the tournament VS swag lol
Shrapnel-irl
Silver Shark-lazy entering an old bot, but atleast it's a good old bot
Cutting Wedge XOXO-again it seems small but it looks well weaponed and if the wedges are good, it could do well
MEOWCH!-typical strong looking VS
fRICK-looks good but it seems like gutripper/popup food
Skidoosh-looks good
Pathogen V2-looks good but maybe a little underweaponed.

[Lemonism]

My prediction for myself:

I'm scared of Meowch, I seriously doubt I can last long against it unless I get lucky with the blade. The rest in the group will come down to wedges, most probably. If I ever got past that, I seriously hope I don't get put up against Mondrian or Haywire Fairground, they look evil.

My bot has indeed been showcased in its original form, but this one has better armour and more battery power. I'm using this tourney as a test run for the new version, as I want to continually update this bot.

[Kossokei]

It's nice to see that a tournament has 5 bye-bots.

[ty4er]

why the hell are you guys entering irl bots into a standard tournament

[Avalanche]

I said it before. I dont do DSL Standard these days. If i CAN enter IRL, i WILL. CAPITAL LETTARS!

[Kossokei]

I said it before. I dont do DSL Standard these days. If i CAN enter IRL, i WILL. CAPITAL LETTARS!

the -24 rep is strong in this one

[Avalanche]

Basically, sod DSL-S

[MassimoV]

So you want to enter a bot that doesn't meet the point of the tournament.

[AlexGRFan97]

Basically, sod DSL-S

Then sod your chances at winning a fight.

[Avalanche]

I hardly care. I dislike DSL-S. So tough luck if its DSL-S. DSL was never intended to be like this anyways.

[MassimoV]

I hardly care. Then don't enter.
I dislike DSL-S. Then don't enter a regular DSL tournament.
So tough luck if its DSL-S. What?
DSL was never intended to be like this anyways. What? IRL or Competitive?

[AlexGRFan97]

Seriously Deinemutter, quality control your entrants next time. You can't mix IRL and DSL-S unless there's something really interesting built into it, like having a tag-team competition where one bot is IRL and the other is DSL-S.

hold on a second, that's given me an idea

I'll stand up for him and say that there was no rules saying you couldn't enter an IRL bot, it just nobody does it cuase they get knocked around by the regular bots.

[Badnik96]

guys stop whacking him. He entered a bot, which is more than half of the guys whacking him can say. If he wants to enter an IRL bot into a standard tournament he's more than welcome to.

Jesus christ, when did you guys get this hostile

[Mr. AS]

guys stop whacking him. He entered a bot, which is more than half of the guys whacking him can say.

Funny story actually, I wanted to enter but spots got wasted with half-baked IRL robots.

[AlexGRFan97]

We're hostile because he's acting so hostile about it. He can just say something like "yeah, I cba to make a DSL-S bot now but I hope I put up a good fight" but no. He basically said "LOL GO SCREW STANDARD IM AVALANCHE AND I CAN ENTER WHATEVER I WANT".

Anyway, let's get BOT ASAP before justice fisting occurs.

[Merrick]

Man, if I'd had known this was going to get so interesting, I'd have entered.

[ty4er]

We're hostile because he's acting so hostile about it. He can just say something like "yeah, I cba to make a DSL-S bot now but I hope I put up a good fight"

this is still not an excuse for entering an irl bot in a standard tournament

it's wasting spaces and it makes the tournament boring

[helloface]

I have a pretty good chance here, considering all my opponents either pseudo-IRL or IRL.
