Brackets are up!
Better than GK since 2009.

I thought it was the least wanted to face robot got their first choice of enemy and so on? Not arranging the bracket in order of rating? Shouldn't Quark-Nova be against Anorexia?
If that makes any sense whatsoever

No, lowest ranked bot gets first choice, and so on.

That would explain why I drew Devour. It does seem kind of similar to the rankings, but I suppose that was to be expected.

You didn't draw Devour...

Cage Brawler ? Hmmm, unsure about that. I will probably get under him and he will chew at my exposed top.

If both bots fight face to face though. With Ztek drive I am much faster, so might be able to flank.

These are the worst brackets I've seen ever. The "good" robots aren't supposed to be pitted against each other in the first round! If it will be laid out like that then at least add a loser's bracket to be fair.

If you read the rules, you would have seen this was always intended.

An alright draw, I'm just hoping calm assertive doesn't get through.

Because you're the most feared bot so you get last choice of opponent.
 
If it's any comfort, I'm as unhappy about facing you as you are about me.  :P  In all seriousness I think Quark-Nova will win.
 
Hmm... perhaps it was a bad idea to post my bot and hype up the Beta components.

OK, the Byebot rounds are filmed in one long 23min video.
Could take a while to upload.
Interesting thing about what happens:
Better than GK since 2009.
