When I look at all the other entries I definitely have the feeling that my bot is crap.

Also, Ounce ftw.

Do the hammers on Orange3 go through the chassis? They look like it...

You never know, he might have, he might not. It's always good to question.

Also, I'm surprised I'm the only side hammer.

PREDICTION TIEM

CubeShark 2: Certainly not the worst. I dunno how it will fare against wedges though.
Some Bacon From Canada: Motors are too exposed for my liking. Shouldn't do too well.
LW- SnSnS: Will be hard to kill. Popups will murder it however.
Zombi13: I hope it won't do too bad, too many VS and popups here for my liking...
Ya Flippin' Cube: Depends on wedges but we'll see.
Thwack: It's from Click. Should do as well as any of Click's bots.
Mad Mod: Too fast for my liking. Not the worst here though.
WTF, Mate?!: Will pull many Rage III's.
Orange^3: Looks powerful. I like.
Exile's Return: Not gonna flip very high...
Dharak: Not horrible. will lose to the hammer VS's and FSS though.
The Good Doctor: Although it is the coolest-looking bot here, it is the worst in terms of combat effectiveness. One of the 5 SFTW's here.
Mothbite Evo X4: Props for entering a side hammer but wedge will fail and the extenders will be torn off in a heartbeat.
The Epic: Doesn't really NEED 2 metal hinges but if it's worth it it will be one to watch.
Fretless: Another average flipper (albeit fast). Should do OK.
Mr. Yummy: Second SFTW. It will spin so slowly it won't be funny.
Green Pea: Decent for a non-member. How well will it do against wedges though?
Minor Conflict: Hot bad. Reminds me of Iron Spaghetti.
Cube Plough: Third SFTW. WTF was Horror thinking?!
Hydromobile From the West: Fourth SFTW but it isn't the worst.
Xception: Looks interesting. Can't wait to see it fight.
Cactus Panda: Looks awesome and well-protected. Should do well if that wedge is good.
Dark Fusion: Could be slower with more weapons but looks stable. Could be a nice gut-ripper.
Forever Alone: Not horrible. Might win 1 or 2 matches.
Face Slasher: If it's invertible it might be a threat like its bigger brother was. If not, then it will fail.
Silver Devil: If that wedge is good then it will be deadly.
Stripey Cube: 5th and final SFTW. No wedge and huge ground clearance but not as bad as Horror's bot.
(X+1): Looks interesting. How will it do in combat I can't really be sure.
All-American: Not horrible. It might get a razor guy run like F_C did in BBEANS.
Kobalos: If the wedge is good it will own.
Krypton 2:Weapon setup fails. IDK about this one...
Wheels Are Tasty: KLONE (J/K) but it looks effective.
Tiger Uppercut: Another wedge dependent bot. Knowing Nar they will be good.
Triturator: Don't see much purpose for the VS. But then again, what do I know about weapon setups?
Skrillex 2: Another fast wammer. Could win 3 matches, could win none. It all depends on the luck of the draw.
Precision Impact 2: Besides the useless pole spike on the back, it doesn't look bad. Might win a match or two.
Rubik: HORRIBLE weapon setup but for a trapper it isn't 100% bad.
Mirror Matter: Knowing Pwn, it will......pwn. :trollface
FireAnt: Looks kewl. Another cube popup. Maybe I should have entered FoF...
Mini Metal Man: Sawbot? Interesting...
Cube or Cuboid: Cube AoN? Kewl. Could pull some upsets here...
Constantinople: Aww RR didn't get to send the updated version. It will fail.
Jaws of Defeat: Looks fast. Could pull a Rage III or two.
Mini Minesweeper: F*** YEAH! What's the purpose of angles drive however?
Halcyon: That drive looks hecka exposed.
Lil' Cubezorz: WTF? Well, it looks like Sage wins in terms of most weaponry on a LW VS. However, there are FSS to kill it...
Garrote: Nice FS. Should do OK.
SnSnSnS 6: Sadly not a SNS/HS. (at least there's 123) I dunno about Overkill blades either...
Satan's Hard Drive: Sparkey actually built something decent for once. Props to him. However, it looks damn havoky...
Force 2.6 Beta: Nice SnS. If the weapons don't touch the ground it should do OK.
RISK: Not the worst. Is a dual VS really practical in the LW division though?
Hazardous Area: Again, I'm not really sure you really need 2 metal hinges for a LW, but if it's worth it it will be a dark horse.
Im Back: Weapons are touching the ground. If a popup gets to the back, it's toast. Not a bad HS though.
Shilka II: Could win a few fights on sheer weaponry. But I dunno...
Deadly Pointer V3: TONS of weapons. Looks kinda slow however...
Soul Provider: Same as Shilka II. I dunno how it will do.
Urjak: Holy crap. This beast will DOMINATE the competition. I can only see it really losing to a flipper or either Linck or R0B0.
Vertigo: Not bad, should do OK.
Disaster Box: Looks cooler than FoF, has the same amount of weapons though. Dunno about those stabilizers though...
BURNING WAFFLE: It's... OK. Could be MUCH better however.

GRW: Meh, Generic, Sorry.
Guitar: Nice Bot Man :) Looks Prone To Being Outwedged though...
Hard Bot: Outwedged again :/ but apart fromthat, looks a bit generic.

Pwn: <3? Maybe, But Looks Unstable...
Robo: Nice Bot, Maybe A Bit Generic Bot Has Potential.
R1885: Meh...
Red: Back Protection... There Is None. That Chassis Is Exposed @ The Back & So Are The Motors.
Russian Roulette: It Looks Pretty Weak... Might Be Able To Push Over Some Of The SFTW Cantidates But Thats It Really...
SKBT: No Moar Razorz, Looks Really Good. Will Go Far.
SSG: Goood Bot I Say, But The Angled Motors May Lose Speed And Back Protection.
STC: Again, The Back, But Apart From That, Looks Rather Good.
Sage: No Idea What It Is, But If Its A VS, It Will Do Pretty Well.
SD: You Havent Left Any Plaes Unprotected :) Looks Good But Could Do With SOme More Weapons Maybe?
Somebody: I Dislike The SNS Type But It Looks Decent.
Sypher: Maybe One To Watch, With A Good Name Choice Too, But Useless Against Wedges.
SM: Hammers Will Muller It But Looks Decent.

Wheels Are Tasty: KLONE (J/K) but it looks effective.

As I predicted. =D Didn't have much in the way of decent LW's around, so I tweaked Wheels Are Tasty enough to make it into a Final Z ripoff. But hey, it's better than the sack of crap that was Zombie Pirate Ninja. That was to me what Preytor's entry is to him now.

Lets us see: PREDICTIONS

CubeShark2: Big and faily, not the worst bot though
Some Bacon From Canada: OK bot, not the best HS though. The perm's probably gonna go soon.
SnSnS: I predict something mighty unstable
Zombi13: Hey, that's not yet another Final Z :P Anyways, it just looks like a Bane ripoff. Probably good, but we'll see.
Ya Flippin' Cube: Very average flipper, after all Bubbleman thinks "decent" building is good enough am I right ? The wedge looks faily, as well as the drive.
Thwack*Thwack*Thwack: Depends on how it works. I'm going to guess it rams first and SnSpins later. Can end OOTA fairly quickly however.
Mad Mod: Not even enough weapons to be good. Though bonus points for entering a wammer.
WTF, Mate!?: Indeed.
Orange^3: Now that is a surprise... will see how it fares, though Craaig doesn't seems to do really well lately
Exile's Return: Again another average flipper, with bad weapon/flipper setup overall
Dharak: Decent design.
Enigma: Well... artbot in CCIV ? Seems like a waste
Mothbite EvoX4: Decent bot, though against wedges... We will see if FOTEPX can start to get wins, or stick to his bad tournament record.
The Epic: Too slow to be truly good, can win against most of the less wedgy bots though
Fretless: MOAR FLIPPERS. The weapon setup, while original, doesn't seems that good though.
Mr.Yummy: Fail bot, way too slow and too much extender work to be good
Green Pea: Pretty decent build, might go OOTA quite soon though
Minor Conflict: Not truly bad, but not very good as well... why so tall, for one ?
Cube Plough: :SFTW
Hydromobile from the west: Yeaaaah... it's not even a good SFTW replica
Xception: Probably the most original bot there, probably good as well. Will get trashed by a decent shell though
Cactus Panda: LOL WUT.
Dark Fusion: Cool concept, not wedgy enough and not enough turnspeed to make it work well though
Forever Alone: "Meh" extender work. It's quite unique but is gonna be outweaponed quickly.
Face Slasher: Not bad, could have been made better though
Silver Devil: Honestly I was expecting better from Linck. It hasn't enough drive and is just too big to work well. Though it may pull a razor g... i mean Missile Test run.
Stripy Cube: And that's what you get when you let enter random noobs in tournaments.
*random third degree equation*: Decent bot, kinda slow though.
All-American: This is way too slow to be good. At least it's better than GRW's cause it's invertible.
Kobalos: SO SLOW FOR A LW POPUP
Krypton Z: Wedged hammers like that fail. Generally. It's not bad though but the design's just not combat efficient.
Wheels are Tasty IV: If nothing hits the Mag, it will be fine. If something hits it however...
Tiger Uppercut: Obviously not my best :P Also MOAR FLIPPERS.
Triturator: My favorite bot, period.
SkRillExZ: Yet again, another wammer with not enough weapons
Precision Impact 2: Badly built, but somehow it is better than the rest of the rabble.
Rubik: Meh. Weapon setup is messy and no wedge... probably won't fair well unless against the rabble.
Mirror Matter: Let's see how will this last without going on spikeball mode. Obviously one of the better builds still.
Fire Ant: Now this is how you build a LW popup with a cube.
Mini Metal Man: It doesn't looks very good.
Cube or Cuboid: OK rammer.
Constantinople: Will fail quickly. And yes, Constantinople DOES sound better than Istanbul.
Jaws of Defeat 3: Pretty good, i'm quite sure it could have been done better though.
Mini Minesweeper: HELL YES. Pretty good bot in fact.
Halcyon: It does look too long to be good... but IDK really. And Plastic sheets as armor...
Lil'Cubzorz: Unsure about how good it is really
Garrote: I don't know what is truly better overall, this or Minesweeper ? Pretty good build as usual coming from scrap.
SnSnSnS 6: Will fail. Probably. Never seen any good coming out of using these weapons for damage.
Satan's Hard Drive: Decent, if generic, bot
Force 2.6 Beta: Isn't that an obvious ripoff of 123's ?
Risk: OK bot, nothing really great about it. Lack of wedge will probably be it's downfall.
Hazardous Area: MOAR FLIPPERS ! Pretty good in fact, maybe even better than mine... though for the wedge... we will see.
Im Back: Way to waste weight on the small teeth at the back of the bot.
Shilka 2: It's alright, but lack of wedge and lack of invertibility will probably kill this.
Deadly Pointer v3: Average rammer
Soul Provider: It's alright. Nothing to see here really
Bane Revolution II: Probably the best shell here.
Iron Star 2.4: Not the best weapon choice, but alright in overall
Disaster Box: See that other VS which is quite similar.
Burning Waffle: sh**, as most of Waffle's bots.
