Why thank you for a comment that greatly furthers the discussion.

I hope I don't get Pwnator again.

G.K. · « **Reply #4 on:** June 01, 2010, 04:49:45 AM »

You know who you got. I told you the draw just now. Brackets up as soon as I finish them.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #5 on:** June 01, 2010, 04:50:40 AM »

Yeah, MUST BEAT PWNATOR.
(Hey thanks for the showcase advice Pwnator)

even though I didnt enter i will still pick apart robots :P

Micro Vulcan - interesting wedges.... looks like it may win by pinning others
Arcade HW - cool robot but the razor set up will roughly half its effectiveness.. shame couldnt have been a bigger threat
Crush's Big Daddy - err nary dont quit DSL kay :P the wedges could be good but doesnt hold the weapon power compared to others
TtTtM - wedges dont look the best but could pull a ItI.. it looks similar :P
Altitwude - probally one of the best of the bunch.. wedges will depend but we have high expectations from sage :P
Embodiment of Blockbuster - is it a wammer ? if so the weapon sets together woudl have been better.. but it could just be fired for the splash.
Shaver BX^2 - some funky set ups there could do ok against some of the lower weaponed robots
Radioactive Meltdown - could do ok if the wedges (yet again :P) are good
Black Knight - looks cool, as I said in the showcase I think those extenders wont last long in that position.. also whats with the brown extenders ?
Rusty Syringe - could do well actually ... is a threat to numerous robots with that weapon count
Killdozer 2 - <3 best looking robot of the bunch, possible winner too, if (can you guess this next part?) if the wedges are good
Nuclear Fallout - if the battleshots that were posted mean anything this will be a robot to beat
EoBOSS - 36 weapons with that setup.. could be lethal but im guessing batteries or drive were neglected
Windmill - thats.. umm a bit odd.. question I have is the outer Z-teks and center razors ? how are they attached
Atomic - another good weaponed robot but also another that has weak drive
Go Up Here 2 - cant see the drive from the picture.. but MW drive will hurt
Press This Easy Button To Die - could pin well but I fear its chances against one of the pop up's

also 17 entries ?

To answer a few questions:

Stag and Sage are in a wildcard.

Powerrave's bot is a popup.

Those extenders just happen to be the skin I had at the time of the screenshot.

Go Up Here 2 is 4WD

Also, the brackets are up.

and windmill's attachments ?

G.K. · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2010, 05:23:53 AM »

Outer Z-Teks on Snappers, the 'middle' razors are on the other disc.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #10 on:** June 01, 2010, 05:29:16 AM »

:P thanks.. that should do it

Looks like I've forgotten one mace from my bot...

AHEM! It's a flipper. People must look at my showcase.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2010, 06:02:16 AM »

how does that change what I said ?

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #14 on:** June 01, 2010, 06:06:51 AM »

The bit about pinning.

Pwnator · « **Reply #15 on:** June 01, 2010, 06:31:44 AM »

My wedges aren't that good. I built it mainly for the looks.

And Sage's bot looks the best IMO, but unless that ballast works well enough Ounce will win this tourney. XD

NFX · « **Reply #16 on:** June 01, 2010, 06:40:23 AM »

Me against Jonzu, HS vs. VS/Flipper......that's going to be interesting. =D

Wildcard: Depends on wedges, but I still reckon Sage'll clinch it.

Ounce vs. Sage: Popup vs. Popup, Wedges vs. Wedges......Ounce. Just.
Naryar vs. Gazea2: Two similar wedges, but that plow could stop Nar just short of the weapon. I'm gonna say Naryar takes it.
Jonzu vs. NFX: Traditionally, HS always beats VS. Kinda depends on the speed that we meet, but I think Jonzu just might win.
Pwnator vs. S_M: There are ten plows on S_M, which is a lot to get through. Pwn's wedges'll definitely get under them, though, but I reckon S_M'll probably rupt at that point, and possible throw Pwn OOTA. S_M gets my pick.
GF93 vs. Doomkiller: GF's weapon setup is a little bit awkward, and Doomkiller is somewhat better protected. Doom to go through.
090901 vs. G.K.: Really tough one to call, but I think Windmill could just pull it off.
Somebody vs. JD: I do like the look of JD's wedge, but I think Somebody could grab an opening and take a wheel off. Somebody, I think.
Bubbles vs. Powerrave: Iron meets iron with a similar drivetrain, Powerrave has the wedges, and the extra protection, I think Powerrave.

Ounce vs. Naryar: Ounces wedges definitely looked more potent in the showcases...I'm gonna give this to Ounce.
Jonzu vs. S_M: I don't think S_M'll be able to get close enough to use the flippers effectively, but the plows could prove crucial here. I think Jonzu wins on points, personally.
Doomkiller vs. 090901: Gonna be close, but I think Doom just edges it.
Somebody vs. Powerrave: Again, depends on the wedges, but I think Somebody could clinch it.

Ounce vs. Jonzu: Ramplates come in very handy, and Ounce goes through to the final.
Doomkiller vs. Somebody: Wedges, wedges, wedges.........really tough to call, but I think......Somebody.

Ounce vs. Somebody: Personally, I think Ounce has the better wedges, but it's probably gonna be another close fight. Ounce becomes champ, for me.

My predictions:
Micro Vulcan - Strange wedges...I'm not too sure how far this will go.
Arcade HW - Looks good but the razors may fall off quickly.
Crush's Big Daddy - It could do a lot of damage. Looks like I'm in for one

of a fight. :P
TtTtM - Could do a lot of damage but the wedges could be longer.
Altitwude - Strange wedges but it looks like a killer.
Embodiment of Blockbuster - Looks a bit messy. If it is a wammer then it could do a lot of damage.
Shaver BX^2 - Looks good. Will the face spinners reach the opponent?
Radioactive Meltdown - My bot. I won't comment on it. :P
Black Knight - Looks like it could take out wheels easily. It could go very far.
Rusty Syringe - It looks like a good rammer. Is it fast enough?
Killdozer 2 - A rebuild of my bot! It looks good with a very scary weapon rack.
Nuclear Fallout - Looks good. Are the wedges good enough?
EoBOSS - A 36 HS. The motors look a bit exposed.
Windmill - A bit strange. It looks like the weapons are slightly off center.
Atomic - Has a lot of weapons. Maybe the wedges could stick out a bit further.
Go Up Here 2 - Looks like a good popup.
Press This Easy Button To Die - Looks like it could deal a lot of damage.

:D

Notes about Go Up Here 2: 14 razor tips on 3 DDTs, 4 HPZs, and above average wedges.

I just saw Atomic...

I am shamed...
