Round1:
Ra2, where having a cool looking bot means you will go out first, because all that matters is max efficiency, RIP. I also totally forget how this is a group rumble so RIP popup.

You CLEARLY didn't watch Tot2.
But, in some matchups, yes, it doesn't do too well.

That Tournament was either before I joined or in the time where I took a break from the forum, so yes, I haven't seen it.

On the one hand, I want to root for Wen as he is the underdog, but on the other hand, he did enter with an SnS.

Looking at the bracket now.  Kinda scared, but I don't expect to go far in a rumble setting.  Then again, I don't really care as I wanted to enter something that was actually fricking original for once, unlike most people here.

While mine is a popup I did focus on other things(namely, getting the chassis wedge flat, having two wedges and a wide bot so that HS don't hit sides/have better turning) which efficiency people would probably call useless. If I really went for a efficient popup I could've copied a Starcore one that finishes bots in one hit instead of this design which requires at least 3, if not 4 hits to win.
Also liking your entry, welcome to the VS club!

ok
anyway I didn't know this was rumble format, I'm facing 3 other popups so im probably dead

I forgot about it as well, at least your bot is a popup as well so it's a complete popup heat.

my robot's pretty terrible by the way, for some reason i seem unable to build a good hs

aw man, sucks to hear that, what's exactly the problem? I can imagine that the wheels aren't touching the ground. So I think Wen might have this one if his SNS doesn't stop spinning like it already did in some matches

Jonzu's Popup, Thrack's HS and that nice Flipper all in the same heat as mine, what is this madness.

Round 2:

So Buzz is a side popup, only using a Snapper 2 which explains where the weight for the motors comes from, interesting, sadly it had trouble against the hammer and got flipped over from a Havok, it was low on hp so I don't think that much would've happened.
Redace's bot(by the way interesting that you had a similar chassis texture to Hi5er's :P ) pulled a Warhead but later got back over.
What the was up with Eddy, removing the head of every bot by havoking around and then lagging the game as it was about to lose, Silverfish your bot is a cheating wizard
I would've said "Stock Hammer problem" but you can't really do much when a bot flies though the air and cuts off your hammer, Redace's bot luckily still had the spikes and dealed enough points before

Round3:

TA3 took on Badger's bot while the other two fought, TA3 then messed up Badger's further after a little split and somehow turned it's back to Starburst 3 who then finished it from behind, just to finish off what was left by Badger's bot. By the way, did we ever find out what caused white/non texture smoke?

Round4:

Man you're fast uploading those, I can already see my bot on the back in the thumbnail so I expect a loss. It started well for me, my bot rushing into the chaos that was the other bots, Thrack's never really got going and was later stuck on itself(wheels not touching the ground). Bot got nicely under the flipper and ripped one of the wedges off, then attacked Jonzu's, mine then got flipped around but did bounce back onto it's wheels, attacking Jonzu's again after a bit but getting flipped and kinda doing a wheely which then resulted on a flip on the arena side. Of course for some reason my AI bots just always have the curse to fall out of the arena themselves.

Oh well at least people can't complain about it being a generic popup anymore.

could have been worse/10

It could have? :P
That was like the worst way to go out. Better luck next time man.

Put a bracket for the Loser's bracket up. Incase you are wondering how the "Fan Vote" will work after I upload Loser's Bracket Round One I will be adding a poll with all the bots that lost that will last for a day. The top two vote getters will then move onto round 2 of the loser's bracket.

And here I thought it's game over once you lost, interesting idea with Fan Votes.

i could have havoked OOTA, it was a major havok bomb in my testing

[090901]

Winner's Bracket Round 2 Rumble is up now in the OP.

Remember, Wen still has to face the winner of the loser's bracket before he can be crowned king.

[Mecha]

rip me. gg

[Jonzu95]

I got rekt so hard

wen's gonna win

Loser's bracket Round 1 is posted. Also the fan vote poll is up aswell.

chasetime = bad meme

[Silverfish]

I love Eddy methodically dissecting SANTA CLAUS OPENS FIRE. XD

[Fracture]

just got here, these are going up fast

whoops, i really was trying to add some variety to the entries by submitting a popup. i thought most entries would be hs or sns - sure the arena has low walls but those bots should still do the best in rumbles

it was at least fun to watch my bot rampage through rumble 2 in loser's round 1. also wen's bot may be anti-fun but his charisma has won our hearts

Look at Winner's Bracket Round 2 Rumble
0:24-0:25

That one wasn't too bad minus screwing over Redace's bot, but that's what the HS would've done anyways. It didn't completely deweapon the two bots that are left with one havok.

Do you have this bot anywhere on your showcase? I'd like to see the insides to see where it got all that power to flip, guess that you had like 2 or 3 batteries in it.

Can't really say much about the matches, Fracture's did some nice OOTA's and Santa hit my bot 7 times after it was already destroyed, have I really been that bad this year? The start was good, my bot taking on another bot which is in some way linked to Jonzu(guess my popup really disliked that) but it quickly got into the way of a hammer.

[Conraaa]

I noticed that They Might Be Giants in my round 1 match!

It's been a great tournament so far, but of course the Trinity SNS is dominating. I wanted Santa Claus to do better.
