I thought you changed my bots name sage? :P

Buncha pop-ups and HS which are what my bots like to fight.

Gameking- A couple of HS. Nothing too cool but might win some fights just because they are HS.

090901- Again, neither look too spectacular but might kill stuff the way they are designed.

Hpnodisc- *cough*

JD- Well built but the lack of wedges could hurt it.

CB- Well thought out HS. Should go far.

Craaig + JB- A borg style HS and a pop-up. Should do decent.

Greenbot + Nate- Billy is obviously better built. Both genericc pop-ups.

Reier + Naryar- One of the better teams. A nice looking pop-up and a CLONE (;p). Should do well.

Redline- Some nice looking castored pop-ups. Could get far.

40757- Both look pretty good.

STC- Not the worst team

Sage- I know for a FACT War's wedges suck. Still should do pretty good. :D

TiLt- Some shallow pop-ups. Could upset some of the many HS.

RIBBS- A clone of one of Reiers bot and a clone of one of infs bots. Ribbs continues his original tournament entry streak.

Whammet- Neither look too bad but E-Wedges fail.

H@z- I like the idea of the trapping rammer but IDk how effective it could be. The other is an HS that will kill stuff just because its a HS.

Duck- 'The other is an HS that will kill stuff just because its a HS' and 'Some shallow pop-up'

Trumpetguy and Viper- TG's bot looks like a flail sns that looks a bit too slow and Vipers uses fatboys...

MainMenu- I still stand by what I said in that MM can build some decent bots when he isn't lazy. Neither looks too bad.

RS- Both obivously well built but un-invertable SnS is eek.

Roboquad- two well built bots from a new guy. Nice job.

ME- Will own everything. EHEHHEEHEHHE

Pwn + Ounce- Both look very good. Could go far.

K343- Rolo is nicely built and ive yet to see a loaded rupter yet so IDK...

SSG- OMG MINESWEEPER!!!123232! :P and a pop-up taht doesnt look too bad.

Mad + Pysc- Cant really tell what Deabitor does. Looks like an HS maybe? and Tweek looks like a very well built pop-up by Pysc. SHould do well.

SC + ACAMS- Good ol' Fury and a good looking SnS by ACAMS. Should get far.

Inf- Exs is rape and Ohs is rape.

DK + Roboman- Moar HS. yea.

SB + Urj- Bunsen Burner has ridiculously exposed wheels but flails rape. Urjaks bot looks good.

Sorry Natef, you weren't on my MASTER LIST for some reason. Don't know why though... well, you know who you are with.

EVERYONE! NATEF IS WITH GREENBOT

@Scrap- Must have forgotten to. Sorry :P

RedSawn · « **Reply #5 on:** October 28, 2009, 08:16:35 PM »

:| You put Redline203.

Ah well. Not the end of the world.

DD (Oops. Atleast Double Damage is referred to as DDMW) is pretty solid, hate to admit it's far superior to BFR. the wedge is largely untested but it's hard for a bot to get up onto DD like other popups, because of the casters. Still, a bot with hampered offense is still better then a defenseless bot.
Ofcourse the backs are exposed - which means more in a full-multibot competition like this. Damn, if only I had it for BBEANS. I'll have to try kick AC's ass.

Mostly afraid of Clickbeetle's Trial - Overcutting can get past that caster armor. A good few shots would be deflected but that's still damage.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #6 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:08:14 PM »

Click first round for the second tournament in a row :-D

The Ounce · « **Reply #7 on:** October 28, 2009, 09:13:46 PM »

Thank god there's someone here that tries not to be harsh when posting thoughts before a tournament *cough*Naryar*cough*.

Anyway, my 1st round predictions:

090901- While GK3's bots have a high quantity of weapons, they probably don't have the speed to knock away BoneShaker fast enough, and the extenders are rather exposed.

JD- The chassis and weapons of HD7's bots are too exposed to withstand the onslaught of the two VSs.

Clickbeetle- Trial and Error were built to combat HS and popups, respectively, and the opposing team is one of each.

Reier and Naryar- GB and Nate's bots have the disadvantage of having exposed fronts and single wedges, perfect prey for IS5 and G-4CE 2 [P].

40757- Double wedges vs single wedges pretty much sums it up, but you'll never know...

Sage- Neither of S.T.C.'s bots look like they resist gut-ripping very well, and GReeeeN doesn't have a wedge, but it has the better weapons.

Ribbs- While VS don't tend to do that well against popups, Vertice looks to be at a disadvantage because of the single wedge and a short reach, but I'm not really that sure about this one.

Wham- Unless Smoke is wedgier, neither of them look like they will last long against the 2 popups.

Duck- The HS looks like it might perform better, but I don't know about the other one.

R0B0- Synergy can easily rip off those exposed wheels, and BW looks like it has the better wedge, but a non-invertible SnS = >:O

SD- A HS killer vs a HS (although with caster armor) and a flail SnS against a dangerously exposed popup, but RQ's HS could do well against either of them thanks to the weapon placement.

K343- Unless the arena has high walls, there is no way our bots would last long. Our bots are way too unstable to fight against pairs w/ HPZ drive. The exposed fronts could give us a chance, though.

Mad and Pys- Pyscolone's popup looks like it will perform well against the two.

Inf- Fury might have a chance against Ohs, but Exs looks to be the better of the HS.

DK and Roboman- SB is outweaponed here, but the SnSs might have a long enough reach to knock off those exposed weapon motors.

Yes my bots are quite horrible. Obviously not gonna win any matches. I'd just like to put this tournament in my past and never have to ever think about it again.

Urjak · « **Reply #9 on:** October 28, 2009, 10:51:03 PM »

YES! I got me a bye! Looks like some pretty nice bots in the tournament.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2009, 11:02:39 PM »

I am worried about my popups exposed chassis

Viper89 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 29, 2009, 12:53:07 AM »

JoeBlo · « **Reply #12 on:** October 29, 2009, 12:57:19 AM »

Doom & roboman

Doom's bot looks alot like Weirdo's Doomed Bots entry

No, I didn't just get scthye 7 and give it a different skin...
I did make that bot, and had to rebuild it 2 time cause Sage didn't have his skin pack....

JoeBlo · « **Reply #14 on:** October 29, 2009, 01:34:17 AM »

its just a similar design there was a few of those designs in Doomed Bots, ROBO had one too

they are based off SC3 Fury arnt they ?

I was wondering where your bots were on the splash ?

Hehe. My predictions are the same as Ounce's (I guess partners think alike lol). Anyway...

OMGLOLZ MINESWEEPER!!!!one!!elevenone!1!!!

Naryar · « **Reply #18 on:** October 29, 2009, 05:36:00 AM »

As there is no 4WD HPZ bot in the competition, my bot will have the time to spin up to speed and i think i can do pretty well. I just hope Reier's plastic armored popup doesn't gets team tagged while i spin in empty air. Might use FBS.py for that ...

EDIT: And all hail Hypnodisc7 for getting the SFTW award. Not n00b-bots, but still the worst team in the field :P

EDIT2: and Greenbot... bah, childs play for our team.
