1002 Problems: Underpowered, and the spinner won't be effective.
Armosaurus: Underweight, but cool, fast, and well protected
Callsign CUDA & Callsign Cuda 2: Messy, Slow, Powerful
Crocodile: Big. Scary. Powerful.
Destroyer Of Stuffs 2: WAAAAY too underweight to be good.
Disk Hammer V2: Powerful, but unstable (which can help and hurt it)
EFIE 6: The original. Should do well.
Fatal Tragedy & Tribute 1.5: Both unique. Both good.
Hammer 2: These flying bricks will be hard to kill
Hide & Seek: will go far
Hyena: Durable and Fast
LOL: Chained dual perms with Perm 132s on them. Needless to say, it has a slow spinup.
Mass Torture Device: Spins slowly in general
Minesweeper's Revenge: Slow turning and weak weapons
Nidhogg: Kinda overkill on the razors, and I'm not sure about the wedge setup
Perfect Cherry Blossom: Looks cool, but rather weak
River of Pain and Rather Large Mouse 1.5: River of Pain is scary, and RLM1.5 can stand up for itself pretty well.
Redstone Compass and Redstone Watch: Compass is alright, but Watch cannot self-right at all.
Revolution and ROFL Flying Kamikaze Cube: Kamikaze Cube is a suicide bot and Revolution can hardly move. SFTW
Runtime Error: Another brick. Will be hard to kill
Squish: I am interested to see how this does
Steel Grinder: Very powerful, very effective
Tiamat: Kind of a WTF bot. Not bad though
Ultra Bulldozer: EFIE klone. Will do alright. Except for an early AI test which revealed a startling disadvantage

@Somebody, can the AI error not be fixed?

It isn't an AI error, its a build error. I found it in an AI test because they got tangled, flipped each other, and ended up there. I took a pic because I thought it was hilarious how they were next to each other and that the other bot was flipped. The AI works fine, its just the wheelguards.

Meh, i'm kinda predicting a same thing for me, with tribute ramming fatal tragedy by accident, that is if another bot actually went up those terrible wedges.

Although, not that many wedged bots in this, which is a good thing  :approve:

Well just by the sheer odds of it I can't see it happening to both bots too often, but it is a distinct possibility.

Ooft...I feel so sorry for you, Vertigo, your bots are brilliant apart from that one flaw. I imagine they should OOTA their opponents fairly easily before it actually happens.

The only way my bots could win is if it can double team a bot and flip it out.

Dang there's alot of multi-bots. Predictions:

1002 Problems: Sorry man your a great guy but I'm gonnaSee  have to  :SFTW it.
Armorsoraus: Pretty sweet. Should do fairly well if it's balanced.
Callsign CUDA's: Sloppy extender work but great wepon power.
Crocodile:  :surprised: that is amazing. A whole lot of wepons.
Destoyer of Stuffs 2: The weapons are deffinently not big enough. 2 of them will be interesting though.
Disk Hammer V2: Lots of weapons. But it's to susceptible to robots like....
Epic Flying is Epic 6: Should pwn all of the spinners.
Tribute 1.5 & Fatal Tragedy: Looks cool but Fatal Tradgedy will be set off balanced by a rammer and the wedges aren't good enough on Tribute 1.5
Hammer 2: Hydro :rolleyes:. Should do well agains HS and FS.
Hide & Seek: Seek is cooler but I have a feeling that hide will be more effective.
Hyena: Nice I like it. I think the plows on the side are kind of a waste. Should do well.
LOL: What have you Created??!!
Mass Tourture Device: See LOL.
Minesweeper's Revenge: That is really cool. Excited to see it fight.
Nidhogg: Typical amazingly efective Nar.
Perfect Cherry Blossom: Nice job FOTEPX. We'll see how the wedges fair.
River of Pain & Rather Large Mouse 1.5: ROP is sweet. Do Sir K Drills have normas? RLM 1.5 Will back it up very well if they do.
Redstone Watchh & Redstone Compass. They back eachother up nicely should do ok.
Revolution & ROFLFKC: You have got to be joking Stag. Revolution is cool too.
Runtime Error: You need a Nar AI Team of robots like this. It's amazing.
Squish: It's gutsy to use beater bars for a hammer on a SHW but you did it well.
Steel Grinder: I have nothing to say other than wow.
Tiamat: Once tou start making a triple hybrid it because annoying and effective.
Ultra Bulldozer. Good luck against the heavier opponents.

hahahhah only 7 out of 24 are actually UHW(including stag).

I do like my chances against a lot of these but can see myself getting flipped out of the arena or having one of my discs ripped off.

PREDICTIONS

1002 Problems: It probably doesn't have that much problems, but still :SFTW
Armosaurus: Too messy to be good, as well as a wacky wheel setup.
Callsign CUDA: Hello, slow spinup speed.
Callsign CUDA 2: Better than the first one, but still quite messy
Crocodile:

Destroyer of Stuffs 2: :fail:
Disk Hammer v2: Oh god these spinners are going to be so slow... it will probably fail quickly unless facing the worst entries
EFIE 6: What a surprise. Are the wedges up to other wedges though ?
Tribute 1.5: OK bot, nothing great though
Fatal Tragedy: Far from the worst, but it's too messy to be good
Hammer 2: Will get trashed by a flipper. Can fair OK though.
Hide: I'm going to guess this is the defensive minded bot.
Seek: And here is the flanker... well it might do well against the single bots, but not so much against the rest.
Hyena: Depends on wedges. Good bot i guess
LOL: WUT
Mass Torture Device: More like Mass Failure Device, amirite ? Ridiculously overblown to the point of silliness.
Minesweeper's Revenge: Relatively fail drive will lead this bot to it's doom.
Nidhogg: Untested yet. Most likely won't win this, but we'll see.
Perfect Cherry Blossom: It doesn't looks very dangerous tbh. Let's see if the wedges are good. Also -1 for faggy name
River of Pain: Looking good. Slow spinup speed though.
Rather Large Mouse: More like "King Mouse" or "Titanic Mouse" or "Fat Rat but comparatively worse"
Redstone Watch: Unusually good for J24. Though maybe he just cloned it from EFIE or Vertigo's
Redstone Compass: It's probably going to be very slow... also, might I ask why putting 7 irons on a stabilizer rod ?
ROFL Flying Kamikaze Cube: I see what you did there...
Revolution: The pole spikes are goddamn useless like that. The drive probably will also be useless
Runtime Error: Will it go OOTA quickly, or will it do well like it's little brother ? Time will tell.
Squish: Decent build. Can fair... well decently.
Steel Grinder: AWESOME
Tiamat: So the Queen of Evil Dragonkind has deemed to show her magnificience in this battle... Sadly for her, I think she is no god in this game.
Ultra Bulldozer: Same as EFIE really...

I think Scrap is going to win.

I would have build a crawler too if I know they are allowed.

Redstone Watch: Unusually good for J24.

Thank you!

Though maybe he just cloned it from EFIE

*Looks at floor*

Redstone Compass: It's probably going to be very slow... also, might I ask why putting 7 irons on a stabilizer rod ?

I had extra weight i didn't know what to do with

hahahhah only 7 out of 24 are actually UHW(including stag).

Well technically any bot over 1200kg is UHW, so... yeah

*Imagines what MKB's 1200.7 kg entry would've looked like*

Also stag, if Flying Kamakazi Cube goes out, doesn't that mean that your whole bot goes out?
<<< Stalk me on the Twitter! (... Please... I'm lonely)

4th place in COTT! My word...
