Best Match: ICE-Force VS Polonium-210, Battle 1 , Watching the 2 getting ripped to pieces was absolutely fun!

actually i think rob set the turnspeed or something too high on war horse, thats why it drove the way it did

Heeey, while that may be true (3.5), it was always bouncy on one side, and always the same side. Two locked motors keeps the chassis stationary, right? 'cause one track was always stuck moving, as if the chain had fallen off (i.e Mortis), making it difficult to turn

You know, Goblin Shark's performance in this tournament taught me something important:

You don't need to make a try-hard bot design to get far in a tournament. Goblin Shark was thrown together and I expected him to lose immediately. Instead, he got 4th place. Now I'm gonna have to make Goblin Shark 2

Exactly, man. It's all about fun and having a good time with your robot! Although I'll never forgive you for eliminating Big Time Hammer! Gaaargh!

Awards are ending tonight, lads! Get your last votes in!

Oooi, upon testing, 2.5 made it do the same, and everyone robot was either 2 or 2.5. Psychocandy was 2.5, another track robot

Hey man, don't blame me. Goblin Shark was never intended to throw bots oota.

Oh, and here's my view on rewards:

Best Entry:

Polonium-210. I mean, come on. Not only did he win the tournament, but he also looks good. It also had a fairly even defense/offence ratio.

Unlucky Entry:

Chemical Warfare: I was bouncing up and down when I saw Goblin Shark flip Chemical Warfare JUST RIGHT, leaving the spinner in a position similar to Surgeon General when he fought Hexadecimator. Only difference is, while Surgeon General eventually got back onto his wheels, Chemical Warfare was rather...


...unlucky.

But in all seriousness, if it weren't for that flip, Chemical Warfare would've ripped Goblin Shark a new one.

Coolest Entry:

Salamander. Aside from the weapon motor being a fluke, I didn't think it was half bad. I loved the decorations and clever use of stock decals.

Worst Entry:

Judge Man. Although I liked the paintjob, it would be better off as a middle weight.

Best Match:

Assuming rumbles count, I think it would have to be that 4-way spinner showdown between Toriodore Ultimo, Salamander, Mass Accelerator, and Polonium 210.

Best Moment:

Goblin Shark throwing Big Time Hammer oota. I never imagined that he could do that. A little biased of a decision, but it did leave me astounded.

[Probably Rob]

Assuming rumbles count

Well, of course they do, they're matches, hah

[botomatic1000]

Tommy.... mate its Salamandra! The amphibian king is far past the verocity of those little cuties

[TommyProductionsInc]

Tommy.... mate its Salamandra! The amphibian king is far past the verocity of those little cuties

Oh...oops.

Oh...oops.

It doesn't matter lol

I'm going to close the awards now, but leaving Unlucky Entry open for the next half an hour or so, if anyone's wanting to see Drop-Saw vs Cheap Surgery 4, where the winner wins the award... or if Drop-Saw gets enough leftover votes right now
