Uh... I think you should change the draws, Mark. No offense or anything, but I'm up against myself. :proud: :proud: :proud: :D :D :D

I can't believe I didn't notice that. However, since I don't want you facing the same bot you went through with...
Round 2 order:
Apocalypse II (3) vs The 2nd Revenge of Black Death (8)
Tornado vs Envy
no, it doesn not.Quote:

lol owned
Sorry about that... Well anyways it did get defeated in round 2. Sorry about that whole thing, WJ.
Okay.
Apocalypse 2 VS 2nd Revenge of Black Death
I don't really have any special tactics. I will do my best to avoid the front, get underneath from the sides and flip the darn thing over the fence.
Good luck Liam :)
Alright, it's time for some round 2 fights...
Apocalypse II (3) vs The 2nd Revenge of Black Death (8)
Our house robots will be Gearcrow and Sgt. Bash.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And in comes Apocalypse, getting in underneath Black Death. The Bosch 750's of the 8th seed are blatantly overvolted, however that might not be a good idea here, as the motors are straining to outpush the 24v Mags of Apocalypse II. The 3rd seed clearly has more power, as it moves to the side of Black Death and gets underneath. Apocalypse now shoves Black Death into Gearcrow's CPZ, as the claws of the house robot crush into the wheel and motor on the left side of Black Death. Clearly visible smoke is emitted from Black Death, as the disc accidentally hits Gearcrow's lower law, bending it and freeing itself from the CPZ. As Black Death escapes from the CPZ, the damaged motor finally gives out. Apocalypse takes advantage of this, and hits the pit release button, as The Guardian lands next to Black Death, and slowly counts out the 8th seed.
1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10!
Black Death'll have to come back as The 3rd Revenge of Black Death next time. A hint of advice, Samuel: Replace those 36v Bosch 750s with 24v S28-150 Mags. They're more efficient and last longer in a battle.
APOCALYPSE II (3) MOVES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!
Tornado vs Envy
Our house robots will be Magnavox and Shunt.
For this fight, Tornado will be using the wedge.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And in comes Tornado, immediately charging towards Envy. Shane has learned about powerful ramming robots from his experience in Robot Wars with Trax, as his Mags immediately push forward, surprisingly shoving Tornado back with ease. Pete looks somewhat perplexed as Tornado is shoved into Shunt's CPZ. While the angry house robot axes the Polycarb of the ex-Robot Wars champ, Envy presses the pit release button, and charges into the CPZ, freeing Tornado from Shunt's clutches. Envy takes a blow to the Hardox, as it rams Tornado across the arena... and down into the pit!!!
Tornado has been blown out...
ENVY MOVES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!
So, the heat final:
Apocalypse II (3) vs Envy
...
What's the point? The fights are barely the length of past PTT intros...
*Cough*Thanks for the criticism...*Cough*
That was an indirect call at you, telling you to MAKE YOUR FIGHTS LONGER.
Perhaps I should have made it so it sounded more constructive, but you've been told this over and over again...
To be brutally honest, that's as good as I can make them. The only fight even close to the length you want is somewhere in the How Can I Improve thread, somewhere between pages 45 and 49, I think.
Look at the rather one-sided fights Steve, Richard, Joey, Martijn and I have made. They're at least half a page. There's no excuse.
Really, if that's as good as you can make them, then you should either get more help on how to write longer fights, or not write at all, because the battles you have been putting out are much too generic, and won't at all be remembered. Simple as.
At least you're not as bad as Tim, though. :roll:
(the following post is what I do, so other people might have other ways of doing it)
okay mark, i think we can all agree that your fights could probably be a bit longer, dont worry though, even though im still relatively new i think (and do correct me if im wrong) i have improved slightly from when i first entered the wonderful world we call fan fiction. and i also think they have steadily been getting longer then that short little first fight in w.a.r :)
so, here is what i do to help me make my fights that little bit better than the one before:
1: pick a good time to write your fights: about 2 in the morning is not the best of times to write :P nor is it good to write when you have just come back from work/school cos your more often than not completely brain dead (i know i am :P)
2: take criticism well: if someone with as much experience as Kody says that you can improve in some ways- take his advice! the experts did not get to where they are by shouting everybody down and doing the same old thing over and over...people who do that generally have a shorter life span if you will, in fan fic.
3: give it the right amount of effort: i know its good to have lots of fights up but people would rather see a one really good fight than five okay-ish fights...so take your time! and make the fight one to remember :)
hope this helps
jack
Gravity 5 will have a wheel on top of the robot. So if it gets flipped inside a cpz, it can turn around it's axle and selfright the right way :)Quote:

APOCALYPSE II (3) AND ENVY won their battle after Tsunami was flipped OOTA almost instantly by Apocalypse, while Cyborg 4 was propped against the wall by Envy.
THE 2ND REVENGE OF BLACK DEATH (8) AND TORNADO won their battle after Tornado rammed both Gyrobot and Terrorhurtz out of the arena!
APOCALYPSE II (3) immobilized The 2nd Revenge of Black Death by damaging one of the motors.
ENVY surprisingly pitted Tornado!
And now:
Apocalypse II (3) vs Envy
Our house robots will be Gearcrow and Auger Henstrom.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
Okay, it's my first attempt at good commentary, and I better get it right, or else the network is going to fire me and replace me with either Kody Kunz, Jack Orr, or Timothy James Sillery... And there's Apocalypse II trying to get around to the side of Envy but failing. Envy strikes back by charging forwards and attempting to get underneath, but the 2-time veteran and 3rd seed is too tough, as it gets underneath the side of the Shane Swan realie, and hurls it into the air! Sam is appalled, however he now realizes what Apocalypse's weakness is: Torsion-sprung skirts! Sam realizes this almost too late, as Envy is thrust into Auger Henstrom's CPZ. As the communist brute attempts to get under, Sam pulls back just perfectly to where he gets underneath the front of Auger, and flips him upside-down. Liam realizes that Sam has discovered the weakness of Apocalypse, and immediately turns towards the realie. Liam rushes madly forwards, but fails to get under Envy, who manages to get around to the side, and rams head on into the side of Apocalypse. I do believe that the spring is once again broken, as the skirt flutters upwards on the damaged arena floor. That's a shame, as Liam used up almost all of his welding wire and spare springs on getting those fixed last season! But why am I feeling sorry for Liam? This is an excellent battle here, as Envy now exploits the damage to the skirt by getting underneath and firing the flipper. Apocalypse II now self-rights, as Envy hits the pit release button. The siren rings, and will we have another upset, as Envy gets underneath the 3rd seed and heads for the pit? No, as Apocalypse II gets off the front, turns to the side, and shoves the underdog 6 feet under, and out of the competition!!!
There should be something catchy involving Envy here, but I'm too envious of my job to let one of those 3 take it...
APOCALYPSE II (3) MOVES ON TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!

Since Heat D has been altered...
BB4 - might as well team up with crooked I guess. Vader can't self-right and its weapon did slightly crap. Not to mention Anarchy moves at snail's pace. Get rid of Vader first as it seems to be the major threat.
...why am I writing decent tactics...am I just delusional at the moment, or...
*takes team up*
flip, flip, flip, try not to flop :uhoh: turn vader (no shrimec) over and then try and get anarchy from the sides/behind
if all else fails, wait in the shadows :P

Welcome back to another episode of VRW!!! Today we'll see 8 more machines go against each other in another battle to the death.
Entered by Samuel Park, and seed number 4: Next Stop, Jupiter!!!
A dangerous robot that's pretty much a clone of Warrior SKF, the robot consists of a flipper that's powered by the spinning disc.
Entered by Liam Eliot: Ringmaster!!!
A powerful Battlebot with a deadly spinning rim, Ringmaster hopes to make a circus out of opponents.
Entered by Harry Orr: Tilly Evo!!!
A tough robot with a rear-hinged flipper, however it was hoping to have a grudge match with Mythras, so it could have trouble here.
Entered by Pete: Typhoon 2 GS!!!
Previously the Robot Wars champion, this is the machine as is was when Team Typhoon came to America, defeating Megabyte.
Our house robots will be Gearcrow and Shunt.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And in comes Tilly Evo, immediately flipping Ringmaster, as Typhoon 2 gets up to full speed. And in comes NSJ, trying to get under the bottom of Ringmaster, and doing so! However, Sam can't flip them yet, mainly because the disc, hasn't gotten up to speed, but it has now, as Ringmaster is tossed into the air and out of the arena!!! Meanwhile, Tilly Evo tries to get underneath Typhoon 2, but instead of being rewarded with a good flip, is punished by being blown away with several large dents on the front of the flipper. Harry looks distraught, but immediately gets back in the game, getting under and flipping NSJ into the air. Typhoon 2 spins up to full speed again, and crashes into NSJ's spinning disc. The crash resounds throughout the arena, as NSJ's disc stops spinning, but Typhoon 2 continues spinning but isn't moving! As The Guardian heads over to count out Typhoon 2, Tilly Evo rams into the air cadets' machine, flinging it through the air, and causing it to start moving again! However Pete's hopes are quickly dashed, as Tilly Evo gets underneath and fires the flipper, sending Typhoon 2 out of the arena and onto the camera tracks!
Ringmaster made a fool, while Typhoon was sucked up...
NEXT STOP, JUPITER (4) AND TILLY EVO MOVE ON TO ROUND 2!!!
------------------------------------------------
Entered by Jack Orr, and seed number 9: CrOoKeD eVo!!!
Ignore the weird capitalization, or you'll be flicked OOTA by the flipper at the front!!! However, the biggest problem is that the flipper doesn't touch the floor this time around!!!
VRW 3: It was flipped OOTA by The 2nd Revenge of Black Death (8).
Entered by Pete: Vader!!!
The Dark Lord of the Sith returns with a polycarbonate armoured shell and a vertical disc, but it has no srimech at all!!!
Entered by Devon Clouston: Beast Boy 4!!!
Previously a thwackbot, Beast Boy now returns with a spinning disc and better motors, but the tyres could easily be shredded, and it could be flipped OOTA easily.
Entered by Harry Orr: Anarchy!!!
A walking robot, and by all means the most successful real walker in history, the robot has a scoop and axe in the front, and a flipper at the back.
Our house robots today will be Auger Henstrom, and a new house robot: Cyclone!
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And in comes Beast Boy, smashing into Anarchy with the disc, and meanwhile Vader has been flipped over almost immediately by Crooked Evo!!! Crooked now goes after Anarchy, gets under the side, and tries to flip, but Anarchy gets away. It looks like there's been a team-up here, as The Guardian counts out Vader...
1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10!!!
And in comes Auger Henstrom, as the drill forks get in underneath, and churn away at the Polycarb. And in comes Cyclone, at full speed, and getting closer, and closer, and finally charging forwards, tearing away part of the armour and launching the Dark Lord's remains OOTA!!! Meanwhile, Anarchy has axed Crooked Evo, and Beast Boy smacks into Anarchy's polycarb with the disc, sending small fragments across the arena, mixing them in with that chunk of Vader Cyclone blew off. Crooked presses the pit release button, as Beast Boy shoves Anarchy in.
Vader betrayed, and Anarchy turned into anarchy...
BEAST BOY 4 AND CROOKED EVO (9) MOVE ON TO ROUND 2!!!
Alright, the round 2 draw:
CrOoKeD eVo (9) vs Tilly Evo
Next Stop, Jupiter (4) vs Beast Boy 4
Still short, Mark. Meh, whatever.
BB4 - There's a lot more of NSJ for me to hit than of me for NSJ to hit. Using this fact, I'll keep striking his rim until it dies. When it dies, he'll be nothing more than a mediocre wedge.
Alright... Round 2 fights...
CrOoKeD eVo (9) vs Tilly Evo
Our house robots will be Cyclone and Shunt.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And in comes Tilly Evo, trying to get underneath Crooked Evo and easily doing so. Tilly now fires the flipper, and launches Crooked into the air, and causes it to crash back down. While the 9th seed is inverted, Tilly Evo shoves Crooked Evo into the spinning might of Cyclone, hurling Crooked across the arena and back on its wheels. The 9th seed doesn't look too sturdy, as Tilly Evo again gets underneath and flips. Crooked Evo is once again virulently thrown up into the air. Crooked again crashes down into the CPZ, hitting the pit release button, and sealing its fate. Tilly Evo again comes in, and attempts to shove Crooked Evo into the pit. However, it appears that Jack was faking, as just before Crooked Evo is pitted, it moves out of the way, causing Harry and Tilly Evo to drive themselves into the pit!!!
Tilly Evo got plowed into the ground...
CROOKED EVO (9) MOVES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!
--------------------------------------
Next Stop, Jupiter (4) vs Beast Boy 4
Our house robots will be Matilda and Sgt. Bash.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
Beast Boy immediately charges into NSJ's spinning rim, and attempts to stop it, but the rim spins up too fast, as the green giant is flung away on impact. However, the axlebot's disc has caused some damage to the spinning rim of NSJ, as it isn't spinning at the full 2000rpm it's supposed to. More like 1000rpm, which is still impressive, as NSJ shoves Beast Boy into Matilda's CPZ, as Devon's machine is hit with the flywheel, causing a large dent in one of the hammers. It's still very much in the battle, as it hits NSJ's spinning rim again and again. 1 hit, 2 hits, 3 hits, 4... 5... 6... 7... 8 hits on NSJ's spinning rim. By this time the rim is now spinning at a very very slow 100rpm, and finally stops as Beast Boy's disc hits it. Preparing to test whether it can come in for the kill, Beast Boy now drives itself onto the flipper of NSJ, and is rammed into Matilda's CPZ again, getting clipped by the flywheel again. However, all has gone wrong for NSJ, as it slowly comes to a stop conveniently on the pit now opened by Devon's machine!
Next Stop, Jupiter!!! For NSJ, that is...
BEAST BOY 4 MOVES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!
So, the heat final:
CrOoKeD eVo (9) vs Beast Boy 4
I did so well untill the end :D
bad driving by me :blush:
but im happy i got to the semi final :proud:
crooked's a flipper, yes? You try flipping an axlebot with a horizontal disc and see what good comes out of it...
Destroy it.
CrOoKeD: go for the pit release button, press it, then get BB into it :P only use the flipper if i have to (oota, self righting) because it wouldnt do much good against a axlebot...so yh pit it :)
g'luck guys
Alright! Time for another heat final!!!
NEXT STOP, JUPITER (4) AND TILLY EVO won their battle after they flipped both Ringmaster and Typhoon 2 GS OOTA.
CROOKED EVO (9) AND BEAST BOY 4 won their battle after Vader got destoryed by the house robots, and Beast Boy pitted Anarchy.
BEAST BOY 4 pitted Next Stop, Jupiter (4).
CROOKED EVO (9) survived being nearly pitted by Tilly Evo, and in return, bad driving by Harry saw Tilly drive herself into the pit!
And now, the heat final!!!
Beast Boy 4 vs CrOoKeD eVo (9)
Our house robots will be a freshly repaired Gearcrow, and the veteran Magnavox.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And in comes Crooked, immediately getting under Beast Boy, and shoving it into Gearcrow's CPZ. However, it hasn't managed to stop the Titan's spinning blade, as the disc is pushed into Gearcrow's lower jaw, and breaks it again. However, the top jaw still works, as it crunches down onto Beast Boy's disc. The disc itself isn't damaged, however it isn't spinning at all, as Crooked Evo hits the pit release button. As the siren rings, Beast Boy escapes from the CPZ, as it runs around the arena, avoiding Jack Orr's machine. Beast boy now flails around wildly, hitting Crooked 5 times before Jack has enough and backs away. Crooked now charges forward, and with one fell swoop, gets under the Titan and shoves it into the pit. Magnavox, clearly angry, gets back at Crooked for robbing it of its fun by charging out of its CPZ, and pitting the celebrating Crooked Evo.
Beast Boy 4 has been properly tamed. Looks like the quick end is nigh for our departed machine.
CROOKED EVO (9) MOVES ON TO THE SEMI-FINALS!!!

LET'S GET READY TO FIGHT!!!
Entered by Liam Eliot, and seed number 5: System Shock V: Hex!!!
A low box with V-Belt tracks and interchangeable weapons, and a lot of experience. This time around, they'll be using the Achilles-Drum.
VRW 3: It was pitted in the heat final by Ramminator Evilution.
VRW 2: It had one of its tracks cut by MeCannibal in round 1.
VRW 1: It was flipped into the pit by Liar 2 in round 2.
Entered by Kody Kunz: Mega Hurts L.T!!!
A box with a srimech and keyboard flipper, but it's easily damaged.
Entered by Harry Orr: Cabrakan!!!
A lox box with various interchangeable weapons, it's pretty much Tornado with less pushing power. This time around, they'll be using the wedge.
Entered by Jack Orr: Behemoth!!!
A tall veteran robot with over 10 years of experience, an axe, and a front titanium scoop, this robot also has bad side and rear ground clearance.
VRW 1: It was pitted by Lightning in the first ever VRW Grand Final.
Our house robots today will be Cyclone and Gearcrow.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And in comes Mega Hurts, immediately charging into the pit release button, as Behemoth flips Cabrakan, and hits it with the axe, creating a small dent underneath. And in charges System Shock: The veteran of all 3 previous wars, as it spins up the drum, and charges straight into Behemoth's scoop. Sparks fly, as the Series 1 grand finalist's scoop is shredded by the Achilles-Drum of System Shock. Cabrakan now gets under Mega Hurts, and charges into the CPZ, pushing Mega Hurts into Cyclone... And look at that shrapnel fly!!! The electrically actuated keyboard is thrown across the arena, as the side crumples, and Mega Hurts still moves!!! Behemoth now comes over and flips over Mega Hurts, who can't self-right, or move for that matter, as the Guardian comes in and counts it out.
1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..10!!!
And now Mega Hurts L.T is fair game for the house robots, and Gearcrow comes in and clamps down on the immobile Laptop, as Cyclone comes in... And hits it with tremendous force!!! Both Mega Hurts and Gearcrow are thrown back by Cyclone's hit, as they ricochet into the wall... And out of the arena goes both of them!!! Meanwhile, Cabrakan has gotten under the side of Behemoth, and is now pushing into the half-spun up Cyclone, throwing it away. However, Behemoth now picks up Cabrakan with its scoop, and pushes Cabrakan OOTA, as it itself is pushed OOTA by System Shock!!! However, since it pushed Cabrakan out first, Behemoth with still go through.
Cabrakan frakkin' sucks, while Mega Hurts was badly hurt...
BEHEMOTH AND SYSTEM SHOCK V: HEX (5) MOVE ON TO ROUND 2!!!
-------------------------------------------
Entered by Liam Eliot, and seed number 10: Lockjaw v3!!!
A low axlebot using 3 hydraulic claws and some powerful motors, however the ground clearance is questionable...
VRW 2: Lost in the grand final eliminator to Coinst, but defeated Blatant Clone in the 3rd place playoff to gain 3rd place.
VRW 1: It was pitted in round 1 by Behemoth Evo X.
Entered by Pete: Bigger Brother!!!
A low wedge with a spatula-style flipper and a very reliable drivetrain, however it has a habit of suffering major damage only to survive at the end.
Entered by Samuel park: Walk Don't Run 5!!!
Okay, it's a shuffler, but don't let that distract you from the deadly spinning rim!!! However a good distraction wold be that this robot is 40kg under the max shuffler weight limit...
Entered by Devon Clouston: Raven the 4th!!!
A veteran from 2004 returns with a new extra-powerful spinning rim which puts out over 800kj. However, the robot could fling itself OOTA with 1 collision!!!
And our house robots today will be Magnavox and Auger Henstrom.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
And immediately in comes Raven the 4th on Bigger Brother, and look at that! She's only half-spun up and she's already torn some of the back panel off of Bigger Brother!!! However, Pete hasn't given up hope, as he flips over Raven. meanwhile, Lockjaw is taking some blows from Walk Don't Run's spinning rim, and as the rims slows to a halt... Lockjaw grabs it with its claws and holds on for dear life!!! However, that's not good enough, as it finally flies off. Raven now comes in at full speed on Lockjaw, and the hit is so hard, that it knocks both Lockjaw and Raven onto the stub of an arena wall. Lockjaw escapes, due to it being an axlebot, however Raven's 4 omniwheels aren't making contact with the arena floor! Walk Don't Run now comes over, hits the immobile bot which can put out 800kjs with its spinning rim... And Devon's machine is now on the camera tracks! Meanwhile, Bigger Brother has flipped Lockjaw into Magnavox's CPZ, and down comes the flywheel of Magnavox, doing a bit of damage to the top of Lockjaw's middle claw. However, Lockjaw escapes, and crunches into Bigger Brother, who is shoved into Walk Don't Run's spinning rim, doing even more damage!!! Bigger Brother now escapes, and hits the pit release button, driving into the opening pit.
Bigger Brother shown no brotherly love, while Raven's back on the Dark Side...
LOCKJAW V3 (10) AND WALK DON'T RUN 5 MOVE ON TO ROUND 2!!!
Round 2:
System Shock V: Hex (5) vs Walk Don't Run 5
Lockjaw v3 (10) vs Behemoth
And this is why you don't have 10cm friggin' high walls in your arena you bloody fool :P
As a joking reply:
And this is why people don't enter 800kj spinners in competitions like this... :P
Your 10cm high wall was a bad mistake, for any robot. On the other hand, however, I thoroughly intended to enter Raven in. So don't DARE try to turn that on me. :PQuote:

Our house robots will be Shunt and Dead Metal.
This time, System Shock will be using the electrically actuated wedge.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
System Shock is clearly the quicker of the 2, as it runs out and shoves Walk Don't Run into the CPZ. Walk Don't Run is now axed by Shunt, but gets away, as its rim spins up rapidly. And as System Shock tries to get in underneath, the rim collides with the wedge of the 5th seed, throwing both back from the point of impact!!! Walk Don't Run is now stuck on the arena wall, but has gotten off, and is now shoving System Shock towards Dead Metal's CPZ. System Shock now enters the deathtrap, and is immediately cut into by Dead Metal. Well, actually more like scarred, as the house robot's sawblade won't cut into tough armour such as this. System Shock however escapes, as Walk Don't Run is allowed to spin up. The Samuel Park machine now runs into System Shock, and then runs away, only to hit the pit release button. System Shock is pretty badly beaten up, but it isn't out yet, as is tries to pit Walk Don't Run... and fails. However, a hit from Samuel's machine just so happened to knock Liam's left track over the pit. Walk Don't Run hits System Shock again, and finally, the 5th seed falls into the pit.
System Shock... Hmm... Shocking... :proud: (Get the joke, Liam?)
WALK DON'T RUN 5 MOVES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!
----------------------------------------
Lockjaw v3 (10) vs Behemoth
Our house robots will be Mr. Psycho and Cassius Chrome.
3..2..1..Activate!!!
Now this is a rematch, since Lockjaw was pitted by Behemoth in series 1. And Lockjaw starts its revenge by using the claws to get under the side of Behemoth, and crushes down on the titanium. However, Behemoth manages to escape, and uses the scoop to lift up Lockjaw, who has atrocious ground clearance because it's an axlebot. Lockjaw is lifted into Cassius Chrome's CPZ, as those boxing gloves pound away at the hardox armour. A lucky jab damages the hydraulic ram for the left pincer, while scratches appear on the claws. Lockjaw now looks wrecked, for better lack of terms, as Behemoth uses the 10cm high wall to its advantage, hurling the 10th seed OOTA.
Lockjaw's jaws are locked up...
BEHEMOTH MOVES ON TO THE HEAT FINAL!!!
Heat Final:
Behemoth vs Walk Don't Run 5
...you're worse than Elliot, I swear to the Lord above...
First battle...
1) System Shock can easily outpush a SHUFFLING, CYLINDRICAL spinner.
2) How does System Shock get easily beaten up within TWO hits?
3) How did Walk Don't Run get stuck on the wall? And how in bloody hell could it have gotten off by itself, IF IT WAS STUCK?
4) How can Walk Don't Run run into System Shock? Isn't System Shock FASTER, and more likely run into IT?
5) So...damn...short...
Second battle...
1) How can LockJaw be wrecked...by Cassius Chrome, of all things? That one just completely defeats me...
2) So...damn...short...worse...than...the...last...on e...flurgle...
It seems to me like you want your favourites to go through, like Elliot did. That, I repeat, is not how vapourbots is supposed to work. It's the ones that can and will win over their opponents that are supposed to go through. Case in point: C&B2. SUNCUST wasn't really a favourite of mine, but it was very easily able to beat a lot of robots, before the semis, and even then it had advantages over Killotine: EVO, a well-respected veteran vapourbot.
