my opinions:
Sour: No wedge protection and non-invertability will lead to an early KO.
TrippeR 6: He won GK's uber-tourney, but will a Seism 13 clone be enough to win? Looks like maybe it could.
PSYCHO: Not a bad VS/Rammer hybrid, with the weapons protecting the chassis. Could easily make semis.
Prysm: If this is LDL's best, I'd like to see his worst. Will lose in round 1.
Packie's Revenge 17 5.0: Wouldn't this be Packie's Revenge 22? Anyway, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Tsunami, if its wedges are good it should win at least one match.
Despised Icon:Good VS, maybe better than Reier's due to wedge protection. If they meet, expect sparks to fly.
Overloaded Orbinaut:NO MOAR FATBOIZ!!! Anyway, it was the best I could do. I really need to learn how to stack batts

Furious Cow 2: I didn't know TriTon was capable of making a 36HS... If a popup doesn't destroy this, it will make the semis.
Hell Itself: not the best, but not the worst either, but it will still lose in the first round due to exposed chassis.
Helix 2:Redbirds? 0_0 If this wins, I think it will be the first Redbird weapon-driven bot since Flaming Whizzer to win a tourney! But I doubt it, since I think the weapons will move too slow.
Havok/Havok Irons: Didn't think S_M was That good. I'm praying I will win...
ErupTion: Rupt Flipper? Popup? It's one of the two, probably a hybrid. The best bot I have ever seen from Sparkey.
Scout: Copy names much? Aluminum armor, Buzzard wheels, no wedge, square extenders and sledges make for a horrible bot.
Banisher:Love the caster placement.Easy Semifinalist .
Detergency: The only Stock hammer I've seen in

knows how long, It's lucky it's up against Stagfish and his bot's exposed chassis.
VATBH: If the upgrade of ItI isnt proof enough, his AI'ed bot tossed mine out all 3 times we faced in testing! :shudder: Look out, this one's a definite semifinalist. (The wedges are better than they look)
Semifinalists:
Overloaded Orbinaut

Banisher
VATBH
Furious Cow 2

How am I cloning BH?

Reier · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2010, 01:51:04 PM »

Castor armored popups aren't always BH clones dudes! Sheesh.

Repost predictions !

Hell Itself over Detergency: Even poor HW HS are the bane of multibots.
Havok Irons over Overloaded Orbinaut: All bots are equally slow, so it will probably go to the side with the most weapons - here the multibots.
Banisher over PrYsM: Yes, Banisher might have an exposed top, but PrYsM's defenses are just so damn low it has the most chances to be KOed first.
TrippeR 6 over Despised Icon: It's just me, but the weight distro is more forward-orientated on that popup, so i have a feeling it has better wedges.
Packie's Revenge 1750344093 over Sour: Best build wins.
VATBH over Scout: A clone of a bot that was thought to be a SFTW against a SFTW. guess Who wins.
PSYCHO over Helix 2: Sheer fanboyism from me.
Furious Cow 2 over Eruption : Obvious result is obvious.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2010, 01:55:30 PM »

oops sorry I just glanced at the bot and wrote a prediction! I will fix it.
Anyway, will there be a loser's bracket?

Avalanche · « **Reply #25 on:** February 07, 2010, 02:19:43 PM »

TrippeR:I think he will get to the semi finals.If not,

PSYCHO:Um,Lights out if he faces Furious cow 2.
PrYsM:Definet 2 rounds past.
Packie:I think he might win the tournament.
DI:Defo wins a match then lights out.
OO:This is gonna make it to the finals.
Furious cow 2:Defo win whole thing.
Hell Itself:Its a plucky bot.Might win.
Helix 2:Those wedges arnt the best.
Havok:WIN.Might win whole thing
Eruption:FAIL.NO WAY IN HELL IS IT WINNING.
Scout:Check above review and you've got this one.

I'm up against Sparkey...yay!!!(trying not to piss off sparkey)

lol I built a brand new entrie, was ready to send it in, then my comp with stock got a trojan

Natef · « **Reply #28 on:** February 07, 2010, 05:30:20 PM »

I think my first battle is in the bag.

RedSawn · « **Reply #29 on:** February 08, 2010, 12:54:11 AM »

@Av's prediction: Think Emergency flip power but with 600~800 points a hit. It can hurt in the right conditions.

It's a bit tactical as a bot. As in, it can't be brutish even against it's own weight class. However that makes my entry awesome. Or different atleast.

Now, to actually look at the entries

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #30 on:** February 08, 2010, 10:49:29 AM »

This might shake things up a bit. My bots are sometimes not invertible.

RedSawn · « **Reply #31 on:** February 09, 2010, 01:57:00 PM »

I personally think I'm going to win against Stag. Both DETERGENCYs might just overrun opponents like BFR did in BBEANS. They did it against The Black Plague, gave AC a run for it's money (in the first fight) .. don't see why a similar creation can't take on another exposed (I'm thinking of TBP ofcourse) HS.

Perhaps I should be using the BBEANS AI pack..

Stagfish · « **Reply #32 on:** February 09, 2010, 02:26:40 PM »

THERE IS A BBEANS AI PACK?!

G.K. · « **Reply #33 on:** February 09, 2010, 02:29:06 PM »

Yes. Stock only so far: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/robotarena.htm

mayday mayday thread going down at an increasing pace due large hits from spam

everybody get back on to topic now

Avalanche please don't waste time with anymore matches that are not part of the main bracket, please also ensure this is the last case of match unbalancing within this tournament or I will shut it all down completely.

Reier · « **Reply #35 on:** February 10, 2010, 01:55:36 PM »

So when is the first AI match?
