out of interest can cobalt self right yet

[Eventorizon]

Its on Kenny's To Do list I believe. He has also upped the bore of the ram and fitted a more powerful pump. Ouch!

[Revsmin]

Nst v Skyfall v Cyberon - NST, or Skyfall might get an OOTA on NST for a surprise win?

No way!

All lie's !

The predictions for my bots on here and Facebook have big plastic box Cicatrix more likely to qualify rather than welded titanium/Hardox FP Eric Jr, my cousin will be pleased

[RogueTwoRobots]

Drumroll shouldn't be able to cut into the Ti [lots of pretty sparks though]

Drumroll doesn't cut. Cutting is neat and precise. Drumroll grabs you by the robotic cahonies and throws you kicking and screaming around the arena

Not gonna give my predictions for every fight as things always go so differently in the arena compared to what we imagine. Plus there are too many close battles to call this year! So I'll just stick to Drumroll and Carcinus.

Drumroll:
Ironconkers v Massacre v Drumroll 2 - Massacre is new, Ironconkers is semi-new and normally new bots have teething troubles. With this being its 4th champs, I'm hoping that most of Drumroll's teething troubles have been ironed out and it will go in my favour. If not, then at least it's a three-way spinner fest

No Toy v Drumroll 2 v Cobalt - No Toy's a newcomer but well built, Cobalt is Drumroll's mortal enemy
Have made modifications to try and limit damage from Cobalt and to stop riding up its wedge so easily, but if it grabs either of us, the pit beckons. Too close to call.

Conker 2 v Drumroll 2 v Night Fury - Another newcomer in Night Fury, but built like the proverbial outhouse. Conker 2 is a big threat here but if my wedge can get under its skirts (ooh-err!) then they'll offer up a nice catching point. Quietly confident.

Carcinus:
MMM v LH2 v Carcinus - In the pit, possibly upside down.
Carcinus v Grabberer v LS4 - In the pit, possibly having had entire claw mechanism extracted.
Explosion v MMM v Carcinus - In the pit, possibly out the arena.

Clive is tiny toon the same as ever or being modified in any way?

Yes

[plargen]

just scanned the tech check sheet just to make sure I'd covered everything and the only bit i'm dubious is weather scruffys lifter needs to be restrained when in the pits as its not very quick and it stops moving when there's no signal

i know people have said its not really been an issue but just want to make sure

[grant_ploughbot]

With the power off, is the lifter able to be forced open/closed by hand or will it only move under power? This was discussed at lengths years ago and robot's like that didn't need them.

[plargen]

it wont move without power
