Welcome, to RIP3!
This is the tournament putting a fresh twist on clusterbots, with LW/MW clusters, which must have differing types (with flails and popups banned) and a team name/theme.

I must commend one contestant in particular...

Ty, Pwn, S_M, Logan and Conraaa look somewhat threatening. My MW could probably take every MW other than Mr. As and Pwn's if it's wedges work and the matches go in its overall favour, considering its damage potential (like Biohazard down in 10 seconds

yes), but Chrome is rather weak and in danger. I might have entered Impaler if it wasn't for that damn flail rule :P

OK JD WTF

Badnik: Not too bad though the drum gives me a concern.
Conraaa: Looks really good.
Craaig: Mw seems fine but the LW has me concerned.
Gauche: Seems ok. The reach on the weapons though have me concerned.
Jack: It's...weird.
Logan: Looks pretty good to be honnest.
Madman: Should do well.
Marty: Same as Madman.
AwesumSauce: The VS's reach has me concerned.
Naryar: Basic tough Naryar stuff.
NFX: Will probably get to the final.
Poenyx: Won't do well but it has an oldschool feeling that I like.
Plazmic: Seems to exposed.
Pwnator: Interesting stuff. Should go far.
R1885:

Somebody: Hi Shoop. Like the skis though.
S_M: Hi D'mt. Looks good.
ty4er: Hi Shark. Again looks well built.
Urjak: My pick to win.
Yoda: Could be better but I always love his designs.

Yeah, I made D'mt from the crawler.

Ban flails/popups and we get two crawlers... bravo.

cephalopod · « **Reply #10 on:** August 01, 2012, 05:47:22 PM »

Now I know what extra to ban if I run another tourney :P

NFX · « **Reply #11 on:** August 01, 2012, 05:48:02 PM »

Looking like a great selection of teams, with plenty of candidates to do well. I'm not holding out too much hopes, I think I need a fair amount of luck here. (lol@MassimoV thinking I'll make the final) Neither of my bots spins as quickly as they probably should, but they should hopefully do reasonably well, provided I don't get too bad of a draw. Although I do have that choice with my LW on which way up to start. =D

Yeah that crawler's got me screwed. TBH I should have just cloned Ounce's hammer rammer for the LW, at least that could outweapon something :P

I thought they were the obvious choice...

Yoda, putting Karen Gillan on your plows wins you Craaig Brownie Points.

Yeah, it was a toss up between her and....well, nobody else.

For a majority of the entries, i'm hoping Pride goes after the MWs and let's Lust play around with/distract the LWs. That's more of her job anyway. I probably should've entered a different one, but hey, Amy Pond :D

And i'm assuming NFX's Lightweight is a "he chooses which one for each match" type of thing?

Albeit the rather cheap and annoying one to be honest.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #17 on:** August 01, 2012, 05:56:42 PM »

NFX's LW's are the same bot flipped right?

cephalopod · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2012, 05:59:30 PM »

Yes. Interchangeable in an Iron Outlaws manner. The wheels are even offset on the opposite version to provide the clearance it would have.

Ding ding ding. I choose which way up Sundancer starts the match. I'm very pleased it was within the rules, though, it's meant to prevent what happened to me against Urjak in Clash Cubes IV.
