I'm Allowing Second Entries!

[Gulden]

oh yeah and signups are open!

This was hidden within the huge wall of text.  I didn't even realize it was open.

[TommyProductionsInc]

If I can manage to make a working shuffler, I'll be sure to enter it into this tournament.

[Kelimpel]

2 entries are in only 14 more to go!

[SanAndreas13]

are we allowed to modify the chassis in any way (make a robot shorter or taller) or does it have to be in the same shape as it was originally but with different parts?

It has to be in the same shape as it was originally but with different parts (you can skin it, change the armour or make a different robot setup with the chassis, but that's optional.)

[Kelimpel]

Competitor Opinions (Honest but mostly kind)

Devil Barber: You know it's a joke entry when the old skin is still visible and low-quality Jpegs are put on it. I just wish I understood the joke it represented, and what that Killalot claw is for. Is it a clamp? If so, then at least it would be innovative. I don't know how impressive the drive system is, but it's weapon looks scary.

They Call Me Cuban Pete (My 1st Entry): Well...here's another way to make a meme bot. I'm also glad to see I'm the only shuffly boi here. It go chik-chiky boom-boom, chik-chiky boom! Of course, this bot has no chance of winning anything. I'm just glad I got the damn thing to work and look the way I wanted it to.

Coral Snake: Although it ain't much to look at, I'm REALLY jealous of how well covered the original chassis was. I can't tell what chassis this thing used! I tried something similar with my second entry and failed badly. It's seems to have good armor and adequate weapons. The wheels are exposed and poorly placed for driving the bot, but well placed for protection from attacks and well picked for durability (in fact, the S3 wheels are kinda overkill)

Livewire: Oooooh, I like this! A seamless integration of Tailwhip's chassis here. It also has a nice circuitry theme to it, so there's character too. I think it may do well.

Orby-Choy: Lol, I love the name. I also love the concept of converting the chassis of a stock robot into a recreation of a real-life combat robot, especially when the execution is THIS well done. The disc looks lethal, but I'm unsure of that drive setup, looks kinda weak. At least the colson wheels will endure some good hits.

Fork You: At first I thought this was lazy, but this is actually where things get funny: It says "Fork" you, but has no forks. It kept nearly EVERYTHING from the original Forky design, EXCEPT the namesake weapons. That's a literal F*ck you to this tournament concept. It's kinda funny. I want to see this thing fight my shuffler built from the same chassis, Cuban Pete, to see which Forkie Joke Bot reigns supreme. Their battle will be legendary.

Atom Smacker: Basically the same concept as Fork You, but less funny/clever and more combat-oriented. I see this thing doing decently in the tournament.

Megawatt: Although it's just Tailwhip being turned into a different iteration of a thwack bot, it sure looks distinguished from said bot. I like the swordfish-like weapon on it, along with the sky-blue color scheme. Not sure how practical the weapon is (some of those spikes ain't hittin' shiet) but I think it can win a fight or two.

Burning Landscape: I have mixed feelings on this one. It's kinda ugly, but I REALLY like how the chassis of a SnS bot was somehow converted into an undercutter like this. That weapon also looks quite dangeorus. Should tear apart an entry or two (hopefully neither of mine)

Beijing Streets: Holy crap, what is this? I like the design as a CONCEPT, but this seems like either an incomplete or botched execution of such a thing. It's like Palindrome from Battlebots had a baby with Turtle Road Kill. DEFINITELY a good subversion of the original Spin Bonker design it's chassis comes from, but I feel like this was either rushed or not given enough time to be finished. The rear Dreadnaught discs ain't doin' nothing, but it looks nice at least. I think this can score a good hit or two before being flipped.

Molecule Deflector: Ooooh, poggers. I can barely tell what Extra robot this design came from, and it looks beautiful. Armor and drive look good, but I feel like it would struggle to self-right.

Neon Tongue: What's the weapon on this bot exactly? I fear for it's opponents if that's a spinner of some kind, since that's 2 stacked DSL bars. That's heavy and high in DP. However, I worry for the strength of it's drive system, but at least it has solid (but ugly) front armor. This thing should be able to tank a few good hits.

Altitude: It's AMAZING how much a fun color scheme can hide a mundane design, which didn't really make good use of the Bot Choy chassis. I don't see this thing winning many fights, but I adore the flashiness of it. An underrated color combo IMO.

Junkyard Scavenger (My other Entry): I needed to make something on-par with Cuban Pete in terms of memorability, but ALSO be a viable competitor. I ended up trying to make the craziest thing possibly out of my favorite Extra bot chassis, Barbershop Chop. Although you can obviously see that bot's chassis through this design, I personally think I made good use of what I had to work with. Not sure how will it will fight, the armor IIRC was kinda weak.

Botcoy: Looks more competent than Fork You, but it doesn't have that same degree of comedic brilliance to it. I imagine it has a powerhouse drive system and a workable weapon system, so this joke entry might actually do quite well.

Licker: This thing is so god damn adorable. It MUST fight Neon Tongue to the death. It's a battle of good taste. Also, I love the customization of the spinning disc weapon.

When will the videos be posted?
