W00t! =D Looks like another great tournament. Here are my predictions:

Warrior: Looks promising, I reckon it might do pretty well.
Corkscrew Two: I think I may have lucked out again with the draw, and I could find myself in the final again.
Bender: Looks like a pretty good rep, but I don't think it'll perform too well in combat.
Sweet: Interesting design, but I reckon the blade is a bit small.
IG-88: Looks damaging, but I don't know if that'll translate to victories.
Explosion: Looks brilliant, and like its IRL counterpart, I believe it could stand to go all the way.
Locust: I'm worried about those stabilisers, but it could pull off a surprise.
Vortex Inducer: See Locust.
Tsunami: Looks quite promising, I think it stands a good chance to win.
Night Stalker: A very good replica, but maybe not a winner.
Panic Attack: Another excellent replica, but I'm unsure as to its battle potential.
King B Powerworks: A bit like the previous two, only with exposed wheels.
Malvolio: Interesting design, but I don't think it's a good one.
Misty The Wonderbot: One of my favourite bots here. I reckon it could reach the top 8.
Gravity: 3 Judge Bursts seems unstable as heck, but we could see a few flying opponents...
ORAC: Possibly my favourite rep here. Unfortunately, I don't think it'll win much matches.
Delldog: I think this could do well, depending on the draw.
Mouser Mecha Catbot: Looks great, and could spring a few surprises.
Peruna: A good design which could make the finals with some luck.
Root Canal: I can't see much from this one. Tentetively giving this my SFTW card.
Rambite: Weapon setup looks random as heck, but we'll see how it plays out in battle.
Gi-Ant-O: Not as good as Hazard last time, but may do almost as well. A dark horse.
Raizer Blade: One of the best looking reps in the tournament, and hopefully it won't be all show and no trousers.
Rammstein: Well...it's a decent rep, but I'm going to give this my other SFTW card.
Ill-Tempered Mutt: An excellent rep, but the lack of offensive weaponry is REALLY going to hurt it.
FS: I can't see this one doing too well, personally. Third nomination for SFTW.
Kronic The Wedgehog: A Very nicely skinned rep from my friend GF93, and I think it could reach the finals this time around.
Village Idiot: A nice replica, and I think it could reach the finals as well. Another dark horse.
Chip: Another large bar spinner, much like Hazard last time around. I reckon this stands a good chance of winning.
Lock Jaw: Nice design, but I don't see it progressing too far after Round 1, if I'm honest.
Abaddon: One of my favourite reps here, and one that could pull a few surprises.
Cyclone: Looks excellent, in my view, and I'd like to see it in action. Could be one to watch this.

Finalists: Chip, Corkscrew Two, Kronic The Wedgehog, Explosion

Some of these look amazing! My favourites are probably Warrior, Kronic, Cyclone, Orac, PA, Explosion and MouserMechaCatbot :D

Yep they are cheatbot parts. They are part of the flipper assembly of the Termidor replica in DSL.

Seeing as you're here, I've got to commend you on how well done Warrior looks. Does the body spin like it does IRL?

Yep, it's fully functional.

It certainly sounds interesting, if it's all fully functional. I look forward to seeing how it does.

Only thing I'm worried about is the weapon reach, let's see how Gi-Ant-O does.

Although I must say, a 360 degree attacking radius is a big advantage to have   ;)

O hai thar. :gawe:
 
I'm somewhat glad I've managed to avoid all the major flipper threats in my group. Only one I think I have to worry about, really, is Tsunami. I reckon it's going to be between Tsunami and Corkscrew Two for the place in the final.
