[Thyrus]

congrats dot. the finale went exactly like I thought it would. second place is ok for me. at least I'm the only one not beeing in the loosers braket :P

[Tashic]

Yep, surprised that I actually won a fight, but that robot had crap wedge + being top heavy and exposed chassis on the back.

[Thrackerzod]

Hey, I'd like to request a Big Time Hammer vs ICE-Force match.  Because Battlebots.

[Thyrus]

if there was a board for grudgematches it would read: ICE-Force vs whoever wants a piece

Salamandra would love to sample a piece of it.

[Probably Rob]

Good editing

Pffft, yeah right, hah

But thank you, Thy'. And thank you to everyone else so far. Currently, grudge matches is uploading, but the exhibition between ICE and Hammer is already up. ICE vs Sal'dra can be done, too, sure

It's not too late to request exhibition matches, guys. I wouldn't mind seeing some more of the others bots before the rumble finale! Who do you wanna fight? Give a name, and it'll be done!

[Thrackerzod]

It started so well for Big Time Hammer, but it was all over when ICE-Force got underneath BTH.

Thanks for doing that match for me, Rob!

[doot]

That grudge match against Mass Accel was poetic justice right there.

I can't wait for the rumble. So far, though, I think I am the only one to change 'bots.

[botomatic1000]

is there still time to make and send in a separate rumble entry?

[Probably Rob]

I'm afraid so, the intro is done, and I deleted the files. That and the deadline was when the final was posted, sorry

[Probably Rob]

Rumble Finale





Congratulations

Fourth:  RedAce  (Chemical Warfare)
Third:  /  (Rodune)
Second:  Thyrus  (ICE-Force)

First:  Pressure

Thank you. Thank you everyone who participated, and to everyone who's watched this. Whether you liked or hated it, I appreciate all of you.





The 2nd Chance is officially over. But those robots and builders need some awards!


You can vote for any of the following awards:

Best Entry: Which robot was YOUR favourite?
Unlucky Entry: Ah, if only that robot had a better draw, or better outcome.
Coolest Entry: Whoa, that robot looked cool. Which robot? Reveal that name!
Worst Entry: Self-explanatory.
Best Match: The match that you enjoyed the most.


Side-Award:

Best Moment: What was your favourite spot that happened during a match?



Splash for Reference:

Best Entry: 090901 - Psychocandy. It has become my absolute favourite robot of all-time, and I don't even know why. Just how, Chris. My heart. How.

Unlucky Entry: I'm going with Tashic - Drop-Saw. Such a shame for a robot that looks really nice, have that much bad luck, but it did manage to pull off a fantastic Rumble Finale showing.

Coolest Entry: Pressure - Mass Accelerator.

Worst Entry: Unfortunately, has to go to TBD Devastator - War Horse, because he built the robot with tracks. That's not the worst part. The worst part is that he built them with one normal motor, and one locked motor, hah. Such a shame, man.

[Jakewilliamson]

I feel like going back to making spinners after seeing how judge man did in the rumble, just knew how it hates being flipped.

Ill do the awards tomorrow.

[Thrackerzod]

rip in peace spear of justice, you were taken too soon

Thanks again for a great tournament!  I'll need a bit to think of some votes.

[doot]

My personal awards:
Best Entry: Goblin Shark (A surprisingly simple 'bot that did very well and managed to take out a few 'bots in good fashion.)
Unluckiest 'Bot: Chemical Warfare (I felt sorry for RedAce. Chemical Warfare could have gone all the way, but was taken out too early in an unfortunate manner.)
Coolest Entry: ICE-Force (It's simple, but awesome-looking. The style looks great and the 'bot is combat-worthy to boot.)
Worst Entry: War Horse (I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately, it had a seizure in every match it was in. Doesn't help that the motors were not correctly designed - How do you forget to put a locking motor on one side?!?)
Best Battle:

ICE-Force VS Polonium-210, Battle 1 (An awesome fight that was a spectacle to watch because of the destruction that occured between both 'bots.)

Best Moment: This tournament.

[Probably Rob]

Best Moment: This tournament.

Oh you... your cheque's in the post 

[Gulden]

Best entry: Goblin Shark, someone can make clamp bots better than me (not like I was very good).  I need to take notes.
Best match: Mass accelerator vs Cheap surgery 4, Just a hilarious match honestly.
Unfortunate luck: Cheap Surgery 4, placed with the eventual champ, then then mass accelerator

who went on to win the rumble

Coolest bot: Mass accelerator, I like Nightmare clones.  Just very cool.
Worst entry: War Horse, I don't think they tested it.
Best moment: Watching Polonium 210 get shot out of the arena by mass accelerator.

This was a great tournament.  It was fun seeing Dine and dash's weapon actually work against spear of justice.
Dine and dash, however, would've been my pick for Worst entry if War Horse had worked.

[090901]

best: drop saw
unlucky: drop saw
coolest: goblin shark
worst: dine and dash, doesn't even look remotely realistic
