I'm not sure which Sun Ray won that :P

Holy crap, my second clutch victory against an axebot in the space of twelve hours! I'm surprised the axe hasn't come off before, to be honest. Not sure that really settles the question of which is better. Never mind. Not surprised at losing the Spinneroo Mate-Termite three-way battle, two spinners at once is a little too much for Deathstalker to handle.

On to the awards:

Coolest entry: Not sure it's "cool", exactly, but Squawk. It's a chicken.
Best entry: Blizzard. There's a reason people tactically voted it out of the final four.
BTSHDBBDDTBL: Battle Breaker. Powerful weapon, even with the incorrect wiring, and it's a nice compact design, but it was unlucky to be drawn against Blizzard, a little unlucky to lose to Blizzard, and unlucky IMO not to get a wildcard.
SFTW: Great Suisse.
Luckiest entry: Has to be Deathstalker. Has to be. Was originally gonna say Hypershocked but its progress was down to tactical voting as much as luck.
Best moment: Sun Ray v Sun Ray upside-down The Deathstalker-Blizzard match. Specifically, the final moments, where we were both at critical health and I JUST got the killshot in first. Ignoring the fact it was my own bot, that was an awesomely close match.

I'll vote for the other ones later, but Best moment has to be Termite vs Spinneroo

[Avalanche]

Cool entry: Blackjack
Best entry: Spinneroo, Mate.
BTSHDBBDDTBL: Arachnid. Got unlucky against green arrow, thought it would go to the semis.
SFTW: Great Suisse. Good debut from wrhysj,
Luckiest entry: Hypershocked. It got 2nd purely because it was bad.
Best moment: That flip by green arrow on arachnid.

Liked the bonus fights that Hypershocked got, wasn't sure if I could do a second victory against Green Arrow and hope the fight against Blizzard(which wasn't too bad) was somewhat entertaining. The concept of the bot isn't that bad, it can actually work if done properly.

Coolest entry: Green Arrow, really clean, now if only the extender color fitted a bit better and if there was a way to hide the burst motor better. Performance was also rather good, could be swapped with the best entry.
Best entry: Blizzard, would've had it above and while it does have some weak points, the other bots just have a bigger weakness.
BTSHDBBDDTBL: Blackjack
SFTW: Great Suisse
Luckiest entry: Hypershocked, hate to vote for myself, but what can I say. Hoped more that people would vote for how the bot looks or entertainment than having a easy opponent. It did screw someone over in the finals, but out of all the people I don't think Redace should've been screwed out of it by that.
Best moment: Green Arrow vs Spinneroo, perfect strategy and gave me hope that flippers still work in this game.
