OH-PIN-IONZ

Ironside MK3: Well, it is definitely an improvement over the MK1, but the tilted axe confuses me. It looks novel, but it might not be able to cause damage fast enough to claim victories. The wedge may help in the sumo, though.
Terror Wheel: I'm not gonna lie, jdg's robot looks absolutely badarse. That being said, though, I question if it will be able to push opponents out of the way. The weapon is certainly destructive, though.
Mister Gutsy II:Mmmm, that Fallout Namescheme... anyways, it is definitely well-armoured, but this rambot is certainly going to struggle at getting the killshot on opponents. Its durability and push should help out in later rounds, however.
Vindicator: Oh, god, this has a lot to live up to. Hopefully its durable front should resist anything thrown at it, plus the weapon should be a major deterrent to FBS'es and HS'es. Problems will occur with flippers, but there is only two, so whew.
BTKOAA:Definitely one of the worse robots here. Not much damage potential will give it severe problems in nearly all stages except for 2 and 3.
Headpats Only: I really don't think a flamethrowing ringspinner is IRL. Still, its definitely ridiculous enough, and I hope it does well. The weapon should prove good, but I am still unsure on the weapon.
Gadreel: allofmyyes
Fireball: I dunno, this doesn't feel like a good RedAce build... but the speed should help it along with its wedginess. Hope it does good.
Salamandra Evolution: hnnnnnnfgdgfdgfg Tombclones... Still, it should devastate all in its path, but it seems tryhardy. Still hope Vindi gets to wreck it.
Nuraghe: Ayyy, here's the first OBJRA2 robot! I love this replica, and I hope Nuraghe does well. Of course it has to sacrifice its durability, but it is still great nonetheless.
Plague: Definitely like the massive drum, but this much weight on a weapon means it won't be spinning too fast... Still, should do good in some of the rounds.
Absolute Zero: Oh hey Vertigo V  :dumb). Anyways, my fellow VS should hopefully wreck shop like Vindi, but having to add extra power for a srimech may come at the expense of armour. Guess we'll have to wait and find out.

(Should do the last 10 in a part 2 if I don't forget ;P)

Then again, this is a bot that I had lying around the shack and I didn't have much time on my hands when this went into signups.  I thought this might do well for some of the events present.  Good luck everybody!

As already said, Nuraghe looks anazing. Also eager to see Tilt in action.

My favourite bot designwise is Nuraghe. It won't reach the finals but it already gets my vote for the fitting award.
I have a feeling that Terror Wheel and Tilt are the same design but turned around 90 degree.  Grudgematch anyone?
Speaking of same design... DoT and RedAce must have seen BiteForce 2 recently. I like the look of both versions.
Lost Cause. Is that a MW with enough to weapons to be a HW?

I haven't made up my mind about the pancake chassis yet but UFO looks quite nice.
Bacon's bot doesn't look ugly this time. Good joob. I actually really like it.  It's a shame the spinner is so slow
NeonCalypso broke one of the rules that said something about a proper paint job.
Mr. AS bot looks so weirdly shaped but really nice.

Good bots overall I guess

Nope.
It's a lightweight with enough weapons to be a Heavyweight.

Well Ceylon Again! is another tombclone that will have a proper paintjob now.

Well luckily, the ones that crashed had immobilisations that fit with the rules, so they'll count as wins





The standings so far:

Unfortunately, this tournament has reached it's deadline and thus has come to an unfinished end.
