-Wham

[G.K.]

OH NO I DREW STARCORE AGAIN

This looks great Wham, glad to see it up and running. :D

[Stagfish]

splash?

[G.K.]

Is in the post.

[Squirrel_Monkey]

Should have changed Havok to Il pleut, oh wells.

[Badnik96]

PREDICTIONS:
That was a long one!-A nice popup, not very armoured though.
Lithium Chloride- Cool VS, needs a wedge though
Mace in yah face-Copy names much? One of the worst HSes here.
Exterminatus 5-Cool, heavily armored.
Fancy Dancer- :DDDD ACAMS entered! Nothing bad to say.
Havok-Beat me in TT, will beat me again here.
Pytosis- Another good popup, but no armor...
Sour:
Rammunition- will probably win its pod if the walls are low.
Cloud 9- Needs armor.

I will do the rest later as I have to leave now.

[G.K.]

Badnik, MW popups don't have to have armour.

TWALO: Looks decent enough, I doubt 3 DDT's though.
Lithium Chloride: A wedge would have benefited this much more than the side armour.
Mace in yah Face: Underweaponed bot, not the worst by a long way though.
Exterminatus: Nice defnese but weapon weight wasted on useless iron spikes, wedges probably not too good though, as they are blue snapper ones.
Fancy Dancer: ACAMS built it, that's all I'm going to say... It looks deadly.
Havok: The driving issues will kill this. Good though.
Pytosis: Looks like a MW SurgicalStrike to me.
Sour: Looks like LRA2 took BOT-CHOY and 'de-optimised it'. One of the SFTW's.
Rammunition: Should the arena have low walls or it face non-invertible opposition, it'll do very well.
Cloud 9: Is this a rupter? Should do decently if arena has low walls.
F4: Reminds me of ACAMS' RAW 2 bot. Looks decent.
GUNDAERAZU: Looks like empty space, I bet it has lots of pinks. Tribars are missing weapons. Not a particularly good bot, but could probably beat 5/6 of the bots here.
Bot Scruncher 2: The wedge needs to be good here. Decent bot.
Fury: One of the title contenders, and I just happen to get drawn against it. GRAAAH!
LavaRocket: Looks decent, could do with more weapons.
FTW: Looks okay, dunno what weapon motors though.
Quasar 4: Other main contender, I only see Fury, Vortex and Atropos as bots that could possibly threaten it.
Cyrogenic Evolution: Good idea, but weapon fail.
Arcade: Has the same number of weapons as GF93's rebuild lol. Good bot, I expect it to do well.
Delinquent: Looks decent, I wonder how good the wedge is.
Dav: SFTW
Chuckya: If it is a popup like I think it is, I bet there are few weapons, bad wedges or bad drive.
Atropos: Wedge looks excellent, I'm not too sure of its effectiveness though
RR2: F*** YEAH MY BOT! Could probably do better with less powerful drive and more weapons.
Rocket Booster: Looks like a MW Tempus Fugit. Probably is as effective as said bot.
Lil flipper bot: SFTW
Junkyard Dog: I'm unsure what it is, I think a hammer, but I am certain I can beat it, which is good as I am against it.
Vortex: Proabbly the 3rd or 4th best bot out there, after Fury, Quasar and possibly Arcade.
SnapHappy: Needs more weapons.
Byebot: LOL

Pod Winners:

Pod A: Vortex, due to it's wedges being better most likely.
Pod B: F4. Sour is screwed, and Vowel vs Skrzak in my 128 bot tournament makes me think that F4 will beat Mace in yah face!
Pod C: SnapHappy, as the other bots are useless.
Pod D: Lava Rocket, see Pod C.
Pod E: Exterminatus, provided it out-wedges Chuckya.
Pod F: Fury, unless I somehow make it havok forefeit.
Pod G: Atropos, see Pod C.
Pod H: Quasar 4, outclasses opposition.
Pod I: Pytosis, I don't think it has worse wedges than Delinquent.
Pod J: Arcade, outclasses oposition.
Pod K: TWALO I think will just have the edge.
Pod L: Rocket Booster seems invertible, so should take the win here.

[090901]

Vortex can KO HS like the old Fury and some of my HS. Vortex is now about 6 1/2 months old.

[The Ounce]

Thoughts:

That was a long one: That's what she said! It looks okay but there's not enough armor, and I think the wedge stance could have been wider.
Lithium Chloride: Weapons look deadly but the front is too exposed and there is no wedge.
Mace in yah face: good choice of weapons but there is not enough.
Exterminatus 5: Looks well-built but I don't know how effective that side armor is.
Fancy Dancer: Yay ACAMS entered another tournament!  A well armored front and the use of razors should make this a threat to popups, but probably wouldn't do well against some of the HSs.
Havok: Again, good weapons, but exposed front and drive motors make it iffy.
Pytosis: I don't know if using the chassis as a wheel-guard would help it more against HSs than without, but it seems okay other than that.
Sour: Wat?
Rammunition: From what I've seen it should be a threat to HSs, but I don't know if the narrow wedge stance is going to help it much against the popups.
Cloud 9: I'm guessing 4 DDTs, if so then it should be dangerous to most non-wedged bots, but the wedge looks too steep for it to be reliable.
F4: I don't think it's better than Vowel but still a SnS/HS with razors should be the bane of the tourney's popups.
GUNDERAZU: WTF?
Bot Scruncher 2: The only FS entry besides the Bye-bot and it's not too bad, but it should have used a small wedge.
Fury: Easily the best HS in the tournament; shows that Starcore is still a worthy stock builder.
Lava Rocket: Doesn't look like an adequate undercutter: I think it would have been better if the weapon motors were flipped and it performed as a gut-ripper.
FTW: I don't really know what to say; it doesn't look good, but I've seen worse.
Quasar 4: From what I've heard this is Pwnator's best Stock MW popup.  It looks good but lack of armor slightly worries me.
Cryogenic Evolution: Long name, but poor weaponry, and the wedges look pointless.
Arcade: 2nd best HS, Badnik has really improved during his time here.  Looks really deadly to the popups as long as they don't get to its chassis.
Delinquent: Looks good, but I can't say much more really.
Dav: weapon setup is........... *head asplodes*
Chuckya: If it's a flipper then it has the advantage over Cloud 9 thanks to the armor, but at the cost of less flipping power.  If it's a popup then the 4 ramplates will give it a huge advantage over the HSs.
Atropos: The long wedge could aid it against the popups, but it will lose to most of the HS, and I don't know how much damage it does.
Rigadoon Revamped 2: Not as good as Arcade (sorry G.K.), but still really good, and it has some things Arcade doesn't have: faster drive and front armor, which I found useful on Blue Giant.
Rocket Booster 4: It doesn't look bad, and the weapon setup is less vulnerable than others, so it could pull off a few wins.
Lil flipper bot: Wat?
Junkyard Dog: Hammer?  Lots of armor will help here, but the use of an Emergency wedge will cost it.
Vortex: Yet another popup that looks good, but still lacks front armor.
Snap!Happy: Much like Stagfish's entry, but not as good because of the exposed front.

[nicsan2009]

Finally woohoo i waited so long and its here at last!

[JoeBlo]

I probally will loose

1) Rammunition is really out dated to my current standards.. its a little unbalanced due to how long signups stood still.. the time lapse between entries I can see will hurt some.

2) I was expecting a lot of HS robots like Doomed Bots which Rammunition can toss oota really easy (its an edited BBEANS arena for this)

its still going to be a hard bot to catch though :P

[Badnik96]

Just to answer everyone's questions, Chuckya is a flipper with DDT wedges.

And my bot is seriously one of the best here? \0/

postin from my DSi wooo!

[Naryar]

That was a long one: That's what she said!

HAHAHA LOL

Anyways, PREDICTIONS

That was a long one: Guess it's decent enough. The armor setup is bad however.
Lithium Chloride: It's not th worst, but like Jack's RAW2 entries, lack of wedge will be it's downfall.
Mace in ya face: It has  Ztek drive right ? Looks OK but it's probably going to get outweaponed by most HS.
Exterminatus 5: These irons are wasted weight but it looks good enough.
Sour:
Rammunition: I just have the feeling this is going to fail like most of Joe's tournament entries.
Cloud 9: Can't see a flipper doing well in stock.
F4: Looks decent enough, but it's going to get outweaponed by most HS and KOed by armored popups. Can fair well if it goes in (gay) spikeball mode though.
GUNDERAZU: Fail weapon setup
Bot Scruncher 2: Looks decent enough, now can it gut-rip efficiently and is the wedge good ?
Fury: Behold the legend.
Lava Rocket: Not too bad, but it looks like it has RAD drive that is not enough on such a design.
FTW: What is that disc for exactly ?
Quasar 4:Most certainly one of the best popups in the competition (It's built by Pwn after all) It really should have armor to withstand the HS.
Cryogenic Evolution: The weapon is quite fail but the wedges do look good - can it beat a popup ?
Arcade: Probably going to beat popups, but will lose to HS
Delinquent: The wedge setup is very average and it will probably lose to most popups. It has a low and large slope however, that can help against HS.
Dav: That has to be the worst weapon setup i've EVER SEEN on a stock HS...
Chuckya: It looks good.
Atropos: Just Sarcastic Demeanor with a different weapon. It has a great wedge, but will lose to the first non-fail HS it will fight (aka Stag if i can beat Pwn).
Rigadoon Revamped 2: Looks good but it probably would be better with lower weapons. Can get trashed by a popup because of high-placed weapons.
Rocket Booster: Really 4 RAD weapon isn't really good on a MW non-wedged HS... it's not bad, but will get outweaponed by most HS and get KOed by popups since it really lacks weapon power. Would be much better with a wedge and faster drive since it looks like it has RAD drive.
Lil flipper bot: You've got to be kidding me... it looks like it can be beaten by the byebot :P
Junkyard Dog: WTF is this weapon exactly ? Not bad but will get trashed by a popup unless it has a better wedge, and will lose easily to another HS.
Vortex: Another of the top popups. Like Pwn's, it would be better with armor.
Snap!Happy: A very average HS (still better than Sparkle's) that quite clearly lacks weapon weight

Definitely will win my first match, but can i outwedge Pwn ?







 

[Pwnator]

You know, you can test if your bot can outwedge mine. Q4's already in the exchange for some time now.

And you missed some bots. :P


[Edit] Dammit, Ounce. I was supposed to say that! XD

[JoeBlo]

Rammunition: I just have the feeling this is going to fail like most of Joe's tournament entries.

do you always go out of your way to be a prick ? :P

lets go over some of the latest DSL Tourney stats for you (since you are the self proclaimed #1 DSL builder)

WTT - got further then you (and beat you :P)
CC3 - currently further then you
TAR - currently further then you
Replica Wars - further then you

need I go on? :P

[G.K.]

Already set SM off to get me my result.

[Stagfish]
