Wow nice robot Badnik 

[Mr. AS]

Wow nice bot Badnik 

badnik is such a well developed and original builder.

[MassimoV]

Tesla's Revenge: Robot clone
Mad Max: Pretty cool, but he never did the 4wd.
Lucario: Does that even spin? I don't see a motor for it. Probably Won't get too far.
Launch Platform: Solid design
Travis: Byebot, meh.
Good For It: Playzooki, you lazy loser. It still looks like crap. Build something else.
Dr. Demolition 2.0: Good bot, but lazy re-entered from BB7.
Vroom: SKBT, you lazy old man. I'm mostly angry though cause it will probably go really far.
Caliente: Man whoever made this is a totaly stud muffin.
Panxhar 2: A bit boring.
Cheatbot: C'mon Thyrus....
Articulator: A good upgrade to a solid bot.
Manhattan Project: Again...
Son of Hurricane: Although I like this bot, ENTER SOMETHING NEW PEOPLE!
Waker!: No.
Ping Winz: Well he fixed it up a little from his showcase which is good. Still a little bland.
Eight: Re-enter, blargh...
Forkie: It's Forkie.
Industry 2: Looks solid.
Robot: Chris, you're lazy...
Jupiter 2: Byebot.
Zeros: Assuming byebot.
Lucky Sevens: It's good.
Crasp Drone Jr.: Re-enter, but only once. I still like it.

[playzooki]

Massimov: Good for it gets a bye... And you seem to hate cheatbot :

And it was actually close to beating Biological.

[Thyrus]

Cheatbot: C'mon Thyrus....

Cheatbot is like 3 years old. I just enterd it cause it fits the theme 

[playzooki]

Cheatbot: C'mon Thyrus....

Cheatbot is like 3 years old. I just enterd it cause it fits the theme 

And its drawn against me....

I have half a chance of getting to round 2.

[RedAce]

I'm not sure how well my bot will hold up against Manhattan Project.

[Merrick]

Vroom: SKBT, you lazy old man. I'm mostly angry though cause it will probably go really far.

It's gonna win, basically. I'll admit I was disappointed when I saw it in the splash, but ah well.

[AlexGRFan97]

How many robots go through to the next round? If it's 1 out of 3 then I don't like my chances. If it's 2 out of 3 then I should be fine. DD2.0 tore me apart at BB7 and Robot's arm is just the right length to go over my frontal shield and rip into me. If I get flipped, it's over. I'm optimistic and it's not the worst draw I could've had, but my luck always seems to run out in these competitions.

Between May and now, you didn't even know!?

[Philippa]

I think i have a chance to win my first battle, I'm not sure how good Mazakari's weapon is though.
Panxhar 2 sucks against wedges.

Between May and now, you didn't even know!?

TBH didn't really notice it, and even if I did I forgot by now.

[Badnik96]

Really doubting my robot's chances against Crasp Drone, Caliente looks like it'll be easy.

[helloface]

I might be able to get past Eight if I can get to his chassis, but those spikes look like a solid defence so I doubt it. I'm lacking confidence in Ping winz because it's generic and the weakest of my 4 main weight classes.

Crasp Drone Jr. or Robot to win.

[Probably Rob]

Quick question guys, do you want music during the matches? Because it's poker themed, if you say yes, keep in mind, the music would be jazz.

[helloface]

I'm good for Jazz.
