Here we go

Team Uncia: Proven bots should do well.

Team Ultimatum: 7 Colors of Death doesn't look great and uses stock components and don't Overkill blades have normals on the front?

Team Lazer: SNS's are going to be hard to kill unless they go OOTA and DA looks deadly.

Team G-UNION: Krawlerz

Team Distant Lack of Monkey Related Bots: Looks like a good team.

Team Eruption: Backfire looks useless inverted and chasis's look like big targets on all.

Team Bling: Look cool and deadly.

Team The Big Freeze: glacer might get a win before it melts. :P (had to get the lame pun in)

Team Genesis: Solid team Megadrive looks like it needs to score KO's fast againt any spinner.

Team Plasma: Good bots nothing bad to say.

Team Meatbeaters: Stock... why????

Team Lastminuters: 2 out of three look like they could win some fights. Lava flow looks below average.

Team Badnik's Badniks: Grawlix looks like it might fly off a wedge.

Team In: Indestructable might OOTA off a wedge as well.

Team Residential: Decent and generic pokers.

Team Robot Unicorn Attack: They should do what the builders name is and Pwn

Team The End of the Road: Angry German Kid might get a wedged bot OOTA but I don't see this team winning anything.

Team Without A Cool Name: Agitator's lack of stability scares me. Expect it to bounce OOTA.

G-union isn't crawlers, it's a CnS (crawl-n-spin) team. Crawlers just kinda suck, but CnS are really good.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Freeziez what are you talking about?  Two of them clearly have rear armor, if only a little, and they're all MWs.
 
Ounce, the arenas are supposed to be OotA-able.
Apparently Giga did say that but he still didn't give any other idea of what the arena would be like.

Predictions!

Team Uncia - Proven bots will go far

Team Ultimatum - Love the use of the Stock parts here. Not. But they are balanced out by being incredibly weak, but I still won't be happy if it wins a match.

Team Lazer - 2 SnSs are my best ever. Both built for longevity, and for power.

Team G-UNION - 1st of all, there is no way that Zeniok is realistic. Second of all, I think Kulpa is better than Kabanis.

Team DLOMRB - All three are bots to look out for.

Team Eruption - Backfire looks alright, Flashfire is marginal, but Spitfire just doesn't have the weapons.

Team Bling - All look well built. Lots of razor tips ;)

Team 'The Big Freeze' - Is that an MCB Wedge I see on Glacier? It could be alright. Meltdown has nowhere near enough weapons, but Blizzard looks okay.

Team Genesis - 3 well built bots from our invisible member of GTM

Team Plasma - Two of these look strangely similar to two bots on S_M's team... hmm...

Team Meatbeaters - These stock bots won't stand a chance

Team Lastminuters - Not sure what Lava Flow does. Doesn't look to good though.

Team Badnik's Badniks - All look good

Team In - All look good. Maybe FOTEPX won't be bawwwing when he loses this time.

Team Residential - Not half bad. Worried about Residential Madness' exposed extender though.

Team Robot Unicorn Attack - *facepalm* Good robots, but just... just no....

Team The End of the Road - Pretty bad. Probably the SFTWs of the tourney, maybe in the running with Jodapower's bots.

Team Without a Cool Name - Can't see the HS doing well, but the rest look fine.

What's an MCB wedge? I just used a skirt hinge.

A wedge using the collision mesh of a skirt hinge. Or are there polycarb skirts on it?

Nope, no skirts. If I put skirts on, they would interfere with his self-righting.
