I think your bot is awesome. One of my favourites to win (or at least go far.)

MR. MEESEEKS-Obviously built by some one who never tries standard
Fingertips-Seen it before, judging by the competition it should do well
Tumbly Tumblr-I don't get it
Gatorphillia II-Looks good for IRL, too bad this is a standard tournament
Entropy 1.5-It's done well in the past and will probably do pretty well here
Yawn Mower-The chassis looks so damn big is the problem, supports could be cleaner. But it will take out all the IRL bots here
Damocles-Probably won't do too well
Off the Rails- We'll see about this one, probably will atleast get by the first round
2fast-DONT JUDGE ME I BUILT THIS IN 35 SECONDS!
Varan-Interested to see how this one does, the only flaw I see is exposed motors but that's it
Sharkbite 1.5-Fine for IRL, this isn't IRL though
Enigma Machine 3000-Can't really see how that middle wedge is positioned but the bot looks pretty good
Cirrostratus-IRL, next...
Thyrus-Well it looks like the name says, could be better with a wedge out front and more weapons but whatever
Jayl Byrd-Interesting, the Fight to the Finish might give him problems
Catharsis-lol i dont care that it's IRL, it's too funny

Nice bots lads, your all going to hurt maw poor Catharsis D:

Hah, you think it's cute now? You should see what's under the skirt! :s

Enigm@ · « **Reply #9 on:** July 02, 2014, 05:08:31 PM »

For those who do t know the third wedge on enigma machine is a flipper

le tricky salesman face

Oh! I thought it was there for flipping burgers.

Oh god, so I'm facing Thyrus in the first round? That's about right!

Catharsis isn't a lady bot, it's transgender! I'm quite enjoying this already. Haha

Predictions from the guy who's messed around enough with all these bots!

MR.MEESEEKS - Slimbodies for drive.
Fingertips - Its got a good wedge, the trialbot trial might be a challenge for it.
Tumbly Tumblr - It was mainly a joke bot, but can hold its own surprisingly enough...until it loses a wheel.
Gatorphilia II - I love the look of it, the flipper isn't the most powerful though.
Entropy 1.5 - Definitely one to look out for here, its an angled HS but it tends to work as a juggler against most bots. Also, no spikeballing

Yawn Mower - Going head on against it is not wise lol.
Off The Rails - Want to see this against Varan since they're so evenly matched. Its pretty fast but we all saw what happened to NFX last time.
Sharkbite 1.5 - good pushing power and can self-right, but slowly. Trialbot match will also be a challenge for this one.
Enigma Machine 3000 - That middle wedge is a flipper

Another bot to look out for.
Cirrostratus - Mauler-esque weaponry, not necesarily bad.
Thyrus's long-named bot - It can cause some really quick KOs, the exposed weapon motor might be its downfall.
Jayl Byrd - Another quick rammer, FTTF might not be friendly to it.
Catharsis - There's a HW version of it too. Will probably get destroyed, but that's what it was made for

2fast - A decent poker, worth a couple of wins if the spikes don't fall off.
Varan - Fast and packs a punch, I can see this winning.
Damocles - Well, it is what it is. Probably the biggest MW here next to Catharsis.

Sums it up!

really looking forward to it now. Wish I was facing Damocles first though.

If I made out of my own custom parts then in all honesty it will probably end up looking a bit like that Pumpkin robot from the Robogames!

Bubbleman · « **Reply #14 on:** July 02, 2014, 05:48:43 PM »

I probably could have made a better bot given more time (and practice; I haven't built in DSL for 2 years :l), but should still be good.
Good luck, all of you :3

cephalopod · « **Reply #15 on:** July 02, 2014, 05:51:54 PM »

Placing my bets on either Marty or 09 to take this.

090901 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 02, 2014, 05:53:23 PM »

Mr.MEESEEKS: Slow, can't turn, easily falls on it's side, what could go wrong?
Fingertips: FLIPPER HAMMER HYBRID WHAT COULD GO WRONG
Tumbly Tumblr: It's gonna get rekt even by the IRL bots
Gatorphillia: If it still has piglets it gonna me slowwwwww
Entropy 1.5: SEXY
Yawn Mower: Could actually do well if the wedge doesn't suck
S.H.I.E.L.D: It's big? Still not as bad as Mr.MEESEEKS though.
Off The Rails: AWFUL BOT BECAUSE HELLOFACE BUILT IT ITS THE WORST IN THE THE TOURNEY

2fast: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44643836/Sonic%20X%20-%20Gotta%20Go%20Fast.mp3 however I don't think it's fast enough
Varan: Love it, may easily get flanked though.
Sharkbite: R.I.P.
Enigma Machine 3000: Looks nice but I don't get what the half sheet in the middle is for, a flipper or something?
Cirrostratus: Dead.wmv
Thyrus: IT'S LIKE HIS BATTLEBOT'S ROBOTS!!!! THAT MUST MEAN ITS UNSTOPPABLE!!!!
Jayl Bird: FAST, maybe too FAST
HereticBlue: KAWAII

Badnik96 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2014, 06:20:44 PM »
