I explained that ages ago. I randomized the teams, so there isn't much point randomizing the brackets aswell :D

No matter how wrong it feels to say this, Pwn's bots appear to be the ones with the flaws :P

Thoughts:

Team 1:

The flipper isn't very powerful, but it could still win in the Tabletop Challenge if its wedges are good enough.  The hammer looks decent, but the trappers and hammer extenders look vulnerable.  I haven't had a lot of experience with Potter's Wheels, but if they're durable, then the HS should outlast its opponents as long as they don't reach its chassis.  Yakuza's weapons are weak, but if the wedge is good enough then it shouldn't matter.  Wheels are Tasty 4 looks okay.  Mr. Bigglesworth is, in my opinion, the best bot on this team.

Team 2:

War Horse has 2 Betas, so it should be powerful.  The Devil's Vice seems like it has few weapons, but the wedge looks so good that it wouldn't matter.  Countdown to Extinction is basically Ice Blast, but worse; it won't do well.  Thee Rammer's weapons are fragile, but at least it's fast....  Blood Orange 3 is pretty good, it's a shame it lost already.  Drumline's Revenge doesn't look as good as Mr. Bigglesworth, but at least it has a trapper.

Team 3:

Another 2-Beta burst flipper, but I like this a little better than War Horse.  Ingor looks awesome, but can it self-right?  Skeksis is basically a better Volcanic Upbringing, but I still don't trust its stablility.  The Veteran is the best out of the 4 rammers IMO.  Green Machine 3: A cubed FlipJack 4-clone, but still very good and could beat all the other LWs if it had the chance.  I've never been a fan of punter-VSs because they generally have weaker weapons, but given the right arena, Serious Business will rape regardless of weaponry.

Team 4:

Admittedly, I didn't want to build a generic 2-Beta flipper, but Mercurius still managed to turn out as something different but still good.  A Nightmare to Remember looks pretty good, but I worry about the plow placement.  SnSnSnSnS 4 is very good.  The Perfect Song could have been better, but Somebody insisted to use razors.  Caped Crusader really should have used a lighter bar and more weapons on the end, but weapon overload isn't DSC's style.  Increased Betting Limits is probably our best bot overall: Nice work team captain. You know I really should have made these criticisms while sign-ups were still open :P.

...We lost already?
