Rules

Splash

Brackets *SPOILERS*

GroudonRobotWars vs. dragonsteincole***
This match may be long, but don't be discouraged from watching it because of the length. This match has its fair share of action, and is a good way to kick off the first ever UHW Tournament. Also, watch closely in fight 3 for a very epic OOTA.


Clickbeetle vs. 123savethewhales**
This match pits two very good competitors against each other in a long and grueling match. Both are well-built, but only one can win, so who will it be? This match is entertaining, yet the lag kills it a bit.


Little lost bot vs. Somebody***
These two bots are in a rather predictable match, which is quick, but does have a very interesting twist in the first round.


NFX vs. SKBT***
These two bots fight an an exciting, if long match. There are many twists and turns, along with a surprise detail.


Stagfish vs. FOTEPX*
Can be described as the Immovable Object (Revolution) vs. the Stoppable Force (Perfect Cherry Blossom). Still entertaining a bit, but gets monotonous after a while.


J24 vs. 70 CUDA***
This match is quick, and has a lot of action. Not very close though, as there is either one bot or the other dominating each match. Bots will fly in this exciting battle.


Badnik96 vs. Scrap Daddy***
Our first match between two full weight UHWs. This one looks to be good, and it is full of parts flying mayhem.
Note: I can't seem to explain Crocodile's invertibility troubles. It uses an Omni.py AI.


somestrangeguy vs. martymidget***
This match looks good on paper and has some exciting and surprising moments, but drags on a bit. Still a good match.

Enigma vs. GroudonRobotWars***
This match doesn't sound to exciting but it is better than expected. Some good action and some surprising moments. The ending is rather anticlimactic though...


yoda9726 vs. Clickbeetle**
This match sounds exciting but is worse than expected. Not a whole lot of action. It is cool to see Hide come out to play though.


G.K. vs. Somebody***
A good match with a fair bit of action. Lots of flipping, flying, some blade hits, some lag, and some good old fashioned pushing and shoving.


Naryar vs. SKBT***
A lot of good and high flying action. Some twists. Some turns. Some surprises.


Hydro vs. FOTEPX***
This match was boring for me to film but I cut out most of the boring stuff (the part where they are just sitting and hitting each other) so the shortened version is better.


Scorpion vs. J24**
Lag hurts this match but I doubled the speed of the first and third matches to make it a bit better. The match itself is still kind of slow in some parts, both in lag (2 fps x2 still is only 4) and in action.


Squirrel_Monkey vs. Scrap Daddy***
This match looked to be epic, but on my end, both bots were slow and took a while to start fighting. But I got rid of that for everyone.  Good hits, decent damage, and a good matchup make this good.


Vertigo vs. somestrangeguy***
A generic UHW flipper battle. Has flips. Has some close calls for Ultra Bulldozer. This match is closer than you think it would be.

Stagfish vs. Enigma**
4 bots that have trouble showing a lot of movement. 4 bots that have weak weapons. 4 bots in this fight. Fun seeing Kamikaze Cube torn up though, but besides that... yeah not much.


yoda9726 vs. 70 CUDA****
This one really is a good one, as these two bots go at it. Lots of big hits and fast paced action. And suspense! Oh the suspense!!!


Badnik96 vs. G.K.**
After a long layover, a less-than-spectacular start to me having time for videos.


martymidget vs. SKBT****
The first match is long, yet suspenseful, and the excitement just escalates from there. A great match to watch.


dragonsteincole vs. FOTEPX***
This match has the damage you'd expect from a UHW match! It doesn't come too spectacularly but both bots are pretty mangled by the end of each match. I didn't do anything about the havok in Round 3 because the match was already decided.


123savethewhales vs. Scorpion***
A quick match, but only because I sped up the footage. It was boring for me but I think I've made it suitably interesting. This one has some odd parts, and is close.


Little lost bot vs. Squirrel_Monkey**
A big match between big bots. Will they go back and forth closely, or will it be slow. Take the stars as a hint. Slow for me but nice and edited for you guys.


NFX vs. somestrangeguy**
This one could really go either way. But the match goes a third way and does its own thing with the bots. That thing starts with an H.

Enigma vs. 70 CUDA***
A good way to start out Round 2. See if you can guess who will win!


Badnik96 vs. martymidget****
POWER! HIGH FLYING ACTION! OTHER POWERFUL ADJECTIVES! WATCH IT!


dragonsteincole vs. 123savethewhales****
Less powerful adjectives, but a much closer match. These bots go back and forth the entire matches, and there is destruction throughout.


Little lost bot vs. somestrangeguy**
To finish out the round, we have another full UHW, and a crazy one at that. Bouncing all around the arena, and even some nice acrobatics to keep itself in the arena in Round 1.

GroudonRobotWars vs. Clickbeetle****
This match doesn't go as planned for Clickbeetle, with GRW causing quite a few problems (ba-dum tishhh) for the dynamic duo of Hide & Seek.


Somebody vs. Naryar***
A close match between two of the best bots in COTT


Hydro vs. J24***
Not the best bots, but some of the best action.
Note: The skip over after match 2 ends was due to the lag caused by the awesomeness of the victory. It dropped to 3 fps and took THIRTY SECONDS to have the stats screen pop up.


Scrap Daddy vs. Vertigo***
A nice quick fight

Scrap Daddy vs. 70 CUDA***
This ones a bit longer, but tons of damage!


martymidget vs. Hydro****
The return of the big VS, and its valiant sidekick. Vs. the dynamic, if deficient rammer duo.


123savethewhales vs. Naryar****
Some real destruction here


somestrangeguy vs. GroudonRobotWars**
Good way to finish out the round. Apologies for loudness and lack of intro splashes.

Scrap Daddy vs. martymidget*****
Two favorites, but only one can come out on top. I guarantee you have never seen what happens here before, and will probably never see it again.


123savethewhales vs. somestrangeguy**
Plenty of multibots left, but which of these two pairs will advance?

Clickbeetle vs. Somebody***
The Winner's Bracket semifinals! Will EFIE 6 be able to overcome Clickbeetle's sneaky tactics?


J24 vs. Vertigo***
Quick match with lots of flipping. But there's flippers on both teams. This one could go either way

Somebody vs. martymidget***
A good close match. River of Pain proves extremely hard to flip in spikeball mode. Will the EFIEs get it out in time?


J24 vs. 123savethewhales***
Lots of destruction and action. Its worth watching!

Clickbeetle vs. Vertigo**
The winner goes onto the final, and both bots are proven competitors. Either bot could win (I've watched UB beat Hide and Seek before, way back when I was testing AI). See who gets in!

Somebody vs. J24***
Lots of flips. From here on out, one bot will be eliminated in every match. Loser of this match is awarded 4th place of Clash of the Titans.

Vertigo vs. Somebody***
The klone wars! A close match but the superior design comes out on top.

Clickbeetle vs. Vertigo*****
It's the final, why shouldn't it be 5 stars? Watch it!!


Clickbeetle vs. Vertigo*****
It's the other final, so it is 5 stars too. First match is sped up because it lagged a lot.

[Stagfish]

Lots of cool designs here!

[Vertigo]

yays finally!

Some nasty looking designs on the splash, not too sure how bulldozer will fare

[Squirrel_Monkey]

When I saw Clicks I was like "Seek and hide... Seek and Hide?" ......... "Oh, Hide and Seek!"

[JoeBlo]

^ I did too ^

by the way.. err what exactly were you smoking when you made your robot S_M :P

I like scraps the best I think.. its one of a monster..

[NFX]

"Splash Of The Titans"

I highly suspect Scrap Daddy's bot of winning this thing, unless one of the multibot flippers throws him OOTA. Squirrel_Monkey, Badnik96 and Stagfish are probably my favourite designs in the tourney. =D

[Scorpion]

so many awesome designs 

[SKBT]

I regret not naming the other 1/2 of my mulitbot squash. :P

I'd put my money on Scrap or one of the flipper bots winning.

[martymidget]

Yay for having the lightest bot in the tourney :D

Naooo, didnt see kamikaze cube :P

Serves me right for making a 4000kg VS and having no idea what to put on the rest of it. :P

[Vertigo]

Predictions:

GRW: SFTW
DSC: Looks too unstable
CUDA: Messy designs, though I may be surprised
Scrap: Awesome <3
Enigma: SFTW. They don't make up 5000kg
LLB: Messy, but this may not actually be too bad
Somebody: Ooh, Bulldozer lookalike bot, we'll see how this does
Scorpion: Juggler looks unstable, Rammer doesn't look like it has enough weapons
Hydro: Better than I expected, though it will be slow for a rammer...
Click: <3 One of the better entries
GK: Looks very well built, one of the better entries
SM: Looks awesome, but for some reason I have a feeling that it is all just too much
Badnik: Messy
SSG: For some reason I don't like it
Nary: One of the better entries
FOTEPX: Too much for those JXs
Marty: Fat rat kloneis going to get killed :P But that VS looks so cool!
J24: Meh, have a feeling this won't do well
Stag: LOLOLOLOLOL
NFX: Scary...
SKBT: I have a feeling those hammer extenders will break quickly
123STW: My prediction for the WINNAR!!!!! If Bulldozer goes out quickly in a freak event :P
Yoda: Mega hybrid FTW
Vertigo: BULLDOZER FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay for having the lightest bot in the tourney :D

No, that goes to stag :P

[Naryar]

CURSE YOU, SCRAP.

And I see flails on J24's entry ??? I thought you banned them all, not that new 4 flail rule...

[Squirrel_Monkey]

by the way.. err what exactly were you smoking when you made your robot S_M :P

I honesly don't have any idea. I went with the reach approx... 3500kg and spam heavy components approach.

[Vertigo]

CURSE YOU, SCRAP.

And I see flails on J24's entry ??? I thought you banned them all, not that new 4 flail rule...

Only 4, thus it still stays within the rules

[Somebody]

@Vertigo: You know EFIE came first!

@Nary: There was a 4 flail limit...

[Vertigo]

@Vertigo: You know EFIE came first!

So?

[martymidget]

Fat rat clone is a poopup though. :P

But ya, river of pain is an awesome bot xD

[NFX]

I like how Click's bot Hide says "Please don't hurt me". =]

[Vertigo]

Fat rat clone is a poopup though. :P

But ya, river of pain is an awesome bot xD

poopup?

[martymidget]

Popup.

[Naryar]

6WD popup = poopup
