1 bot is missing and 1 is being updated, so not yet.

Predictions:
Recycled Plastic: Possible SFTW candidate, IMO. Smaller wheels needed  and Weapon looks underpowered.  :SFTW
Loroad: Looks nice, but not sure if the larger robots will actually get to the spikes, and if somebody gets through the spikes you're a sitting duck.
Jaws Of Defeat: Meh, looks like a standard rammer. Could be better with hammers...
Blue Jet: Looks nice, but would be better if those discs span.
Bloodlust: Oh hey Masterath, didn't see you there. Yeah, it's crap. :SFTW
BADGERS: Odd name for a bot which, TBH, is too big for it's own good. Underweaponed, too tall, and storm is havoky.
Crimson Blue 3: I'll let you guys decide about my bot. All i'll say is that I'm the best piston rammer here, not trying to brag.
Bash 'Em Bot: Like Jaws Of Defeat, but better due to hammers. A VS could slice through that gap...
Noob Scraper: Looks actually pretty nice, but mediocre paint job and Shinies make me dislike it.
Wheels are Tasty: Nice,but it don't live to it's name if it's flipped, now does it?
Revenge Of Final Z: Why do you need Long Axles? Also, It's intimidating. Make it go away.
SpiderWeb: That's better. Sorry Vert, but that's the worst rammer of the pack so far, and very close to being a SFTW candidate.
Precious: Ooh, a Juggler. Nice. Looks good, but good looks won't save you when your bot's underweaponed.
The Pathetic Stopwatch: Needs more weapons and less wedge weight. Sorry, but nearly a :SFTW candidate.
FutR8P: Nice. Like the new Final Z, except a bit worse. This vs Final Z will be nice to see.
NA100KGOA?: What in the heck is this?  :SFTW
Trialbot:  The other one was cuter. Bring him back, pleese?

I know, I had to rush my entry a bit. But trust me, it isn't half as bad as you think (it did surprise me)

Yeah, well it'd better'd do some suprising in this competition, cause I think it's quite bad.

What I think you're forgetting FOTEPX (if I remember correctly), is that your entry has plastic 1 armour.
If my bot was behind yours (due to the bad drive on yours), in a matter of 2 hits your bot would be gone

Yeah I know it kinda sucks.  My DSL building skills are still sub-par, I only entered because I've wanted to enter a tourney since I joined and the only ones open were DSL ones.

outweaponed but if my bot can get to the chassis of another it's pretty much all over. I haven't actually tested this version much, the difference between this and the other I showcased is I took out 1 ant battery and gave it some rear defense/stability, just in case there was a lot of rammers  :rolleyes:

@ G.K it actually looked like a 360 degree hammer with the side panel there.

It's ok Noodle. A Stock HW tournament that i'm running is coming sometime in November.

In my defense, the weapons scratch the ground if I use wheels any smaller than those, and given how easy it is to flip a lightweight, being invertible should prove to be a plus.
