Almost all of these bots look alike. Some of them don't even look like they have a red extender...

Still, these matches should be very entertaining.

 :rolleyes:

I was going to make a better version for this, but I didn't have quite enough time. I made one slight modification to the one entered though; so it should do better.

Holy crap I wasn't expecting it to be such a HS-fest! 

Thoughts on the competition:

Afterlife - interesting take on the SC3 version of Tempus Fugit, sadly it looks way too fragile to do well.
First Stock Bot I've Built in Months - Not that bad for one actually, but I'm not sure on the stability.
Brown Wreckluse 3 - From what I've seen it looks like a good contender, but I don't think the wheels will hold up, even with the minor protection they have.
Box of Grime - A pretty cool, but unfortunately outdated design.
Cacodemon - Not trying to say this in a mean way, but  :SFTW .
Frost - If it's a popup then it looks okay from the outside, but that exposed front won't last against the majority of HSs here.
Zaphod Stock 2 - It's very well-built, but those weapons won't last against a few of the other HSs here.
Kill IV - Ditto regarding the weapons, but lacks the bursted motor and the front protection of the previous bot.
Pork Chop Express - Comendations on being able to fit those weapons on a LW dual HS.
Death By Purple 3 - looks surprisingly like my entry :O, although I wonder whether using a ramplate is worth 1 less weapon.
Trigger - Looks like the average LW popup, but if it has HPZ drive like I think it does then it's potentially a very formidable opponent.
Simply Volatile - Easy to guess what it is based on, but there's already a MW version of the original with the same name :P.  That doesn't make it a bad bot though.
Dark Void 2 - Contest is over.
Protostar U*1Z6M- I originally was going to enter something completely different, but after three attempts at coming up with a decent new design I said "f*** it" and send in this instead.
Tyrantarous - It looks pretty well-balanced: Can't say much more really.
Ketchup Burn - Looks pretty good despite basically being a Child's Play IV clone.  I just wish it was invertible.

While I'm here I might as well look at my heat:

I can definitely beat Enigma and probably Pwnator; depends on whether or not that thing's packing HPZs, but not Badnik unless his bot is unstable.

I should win unless my bot is unusually havoky.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

090901- OK. Looks fairly good. Might get outweaponed easily, and looks a little unstable.
Badnik- Wow, that's a lot of weapons. TIED #3 BEST
Click- I like this one. Might have some trouble against popups though?
Dexterhunter- Original. :P #1 SFTW
Enigma- It could actually have some potential, except the chassis is too big. #2 SFTW
Freeziez- Fairly good popup, but the front is too exposed (especially considering all the HSs in this tourney :P).
G.K.- Kewl. #2 BEST
Hard Bot- Meh, because that diagonal razor is blocking the other 2 from hitting the chassis. #3 SFTW
Jack- Motors look exposed, but gj on the weapons. :)
NFX- Awesomesauce right there. TIED #3 BEST
Pwnator- Pretty good popup, but has the same problem as mine.
Scrap- Good weapons and power.
S_M- I lol'd. TIED #3 BEST
Ounce- That's a lot of weapons. O_o #1 BEST
VB- Good use of castors.
Wacky Bob- It's good for Wacky Bob.
