J24 V Vertigo:


090901 V G.K.:


NFX&S_M V TX&FOTEPX:


Bubbleman V Wafflez&Badnik:

Vertigo's predictions:
J24: Bad weapon sepupon the rammer, & not enough weapons on the juggler. SFTW team IMO, sorry J24
090901: First looks very stable & well built, but the second looks quite fragile
GK: Sheck spinner is nasty, but the flipper would still be beaten by Mini Bulldozer ;P
Viper: LOL, can't wait to see Nary's reaction. Bots can't be very effective though
SKBT: Both look well built, second the better of the two
Naryar: Definatly one of the better entries
Craaig: Looks powerful, will be game over if a bot gets to the motors though
NFX: Expected something better TBH, needs atleast 30kg hammers. Though I may be proved wrong...
SM: Good bot
TX: Not bad, but I won't judge this untill I see this working
FOTEPX: Too fast, too fragile
Bubbleman: Great rammer, but this is reliant on wedges, I hope their up to it. HS looks powerful, but something will get to that tribar...
Badnik: Too fragile, not enough weapons
Wafflez: Not great, SFTW entry IMO. Sorry wafflez
Me: Should get past the first round unless I get a really bad draw, could do quite well in this if I get the right draw
       *Hopes*

Naryar's Predictions:
Vertigo: Both look good, but their success will depend on wedges. Can win this.
J24: Fail juggler and bad rammer. Fodder for most other bots. Not the worst though.
090901: Chop Suey looks OK but the other one... unfortunately i don't think this will fair well.
GK: If the wedge is good then Enigma is going to own, but it doesn't look it has rear stabilizers. I don't know the effectiveness of flail killalot drills though. Can fair well also.
SKBT: SawBlaze is one HELL of a Ripblade IV clone and the other one looks good.
My bot: Doomkiller's Wet Dream faired pretty well in testing (beat Pwn's and 123's popups) but I am unsure about how good is my wedge compared to the others.
Craaig: OK bot, but it's a VS and will get KO'd by a good wedge at one point.
NFX: It does look pretty weak. Won't fair well IMO.
S_M: Standard true popup. Depends on how good the wedge is.
TX: Not bad for a noob... It might be too fast though
FOTEPX: VS like these are a complete BITCH to make stable. Plus the bot's speed might actually turn against it. It's well built, but i doubt it's true combat effectiveness.
Bubbleman: The HS is okay, but these kind of designs aren't really efficient in tournaments. The rammer... well, depends on wedges.
Badnik: That has to be an entry for the lulz... I bet it will fail horribly, but has the potential to make something lulzy. Will see.
wafflez: Robot fodder really. SFTW award goes to this. Probable worst team.

*roots for Hypo Blender*

I would lol if Belgian Waffle gets under Purple-Xed for a Mini Warrior moment. XD

[J24]

the moment it (finally) starts i get knocked out!
oh well, still fun.
Good Slaughter, Vertigo

[JoeBlo]

one of my first Stock robots was called Hypno Blender.. very close :P

[Pwnator]

I thought Cheese was a rammer until I heard Mags fire. :O

[Naryar]

It's a side hammer ?

[J24]

yup, but a  one.

[NFX]

Bubbles, my robot sucks because you took forever with starting it up. XD It was built when I was halfway between a total rookie and where I am now. I can build better bots than that. But what the , let's see how it fares. =D

[Squirrel_Monkey]

But you're on a team with me so...

[NFX]

True, your bot'll probably be quite good. If we go out in the first round, I will take full responsibility. =]

[Naryar]

I think i can beat craaig, but unsure. Only has 3mm Ti and that cheat motor is powerful :P

AND THEN TOSS VIPER OOTA ASAP

[J24]

umm bubblse, yuo spetl splah wrogn

[Naryar]

*tests fights in NAR AI*

It's fine, i am confident against Craaig.

Fuel does seem to be unstable in that arena, and even if not, DKWD CAN toss it OOTA.

The only team that really worries me is Vertigo. GK might be a bother, and maybe SKBT, but the others... :P

Ya I bet your bots are really fast and they have a lot of weapons, funny what happen to you making a V.S and a Flipper at least I thought you said that in the signup forum?. Wow the first match was a complete massacre lol . Hmm I got SKBT first round his VS spinner  me, Idk about his shell spinner though. I see those dam harpon like spikes all the time and always have no idea what they are. Could some one tell me?

[JoeBlo]

they are exactly that, Harpoon Spikes :P

they were made by Darkrat in one of his component packs, he later gave them to Naryar to balance into NarAI

[Naryar]

@Viper: It's basically a giant razor tip (2220 HP, 14 kg, 2 piercing and 0.3 concussion). And about VS and flipper team... i'm not at my best when building these, so i changed my mind. Plus i can send throw a crawler OOTA with a wammer :P


@Joey: And he gave nothing. I asked him the permission and he said yes, so i took them :P

@ JB O I see now I know why I don't see them often and not very familiar with them I never tried the Nary AI pack lol. Hmm a basically giant razor tip you say interesting, I did some test runs with Ripblade 2 and Grog the closest things I can replicate to SKBT bot's. I feel pretty confident I know for sure Grog hands down is the better shell spinner and it was pretty much a stale mate sometimes I score more  and some times grog scores more points. I'm not sure if Ripblade 2 is the better V.S but as long a can avoid the otta on the first collision( which I did most of the time) I think I will be ok.  Also an important factor is how balanced is SKBT VS because that is going to make a big difference when it makes contact with either of my bots, Ripblade 2 didn't fair to well when it made contact got knocked of balance alot. Well if lose it's no big deal it's pretty obvious I entered for lulz but it would be funny to get a win with these bot .

[JoeBlo]

@Joey: And he gave nothing. I asked him the permission and he said yes, so i took them :P

he gave you Permission 

[SKBT]

@Viper: My VS is decently stable. (For a VS) As long as it doesn't turn too fast it should be fine. My shell spinner has a redicously slow spinnup but it shouldn't be a problem due to your crawlers speed. I think my VS could OOTA your bots as long as my shell spinner doesn't eat it. :P

My the best bots win.

@Joey: And he gave nothing. I asked him the permission and he said yes, so i took them :P

he gave you Permission 

Eh. Fair enough... but he did not gave to me as you stated in previous post :P
