I hope not to sustain much damage in the first round melee, my first thoughts were Easy draw but two pushers could gang up on me :sad:

However Drumroll should have enough firepower to progress, I hope.

Looking forward to the weekend now!

Tuff Luck and Tuff Luck 2. Not the best draw for me. Well see how it goes.

Good thing we put that remote controlled shaped charge in Prodigy Evos clutch when we delivered it.

And with dizzy Tilly in there also it will be a good test for my armour I think.

Just gone through all the robots categorising the weapons to see how much diversity this competition will have:

14 Pushers
10 Flippers
5 Vertical Spinners
4 Horizontal Spinners
3 Lifters
2 Axes
1 Crusher

So many bloomin flippers and pushers about
Cmon people - build some spinners

Ill say! Its only got one side to it! That is a bit stupid






Ill get my coat

[leorcc]

Theres 9 spinners and 10 flippers, Id say thats pretty equal.

Come on people, build more Crushers and Axes.

[john]

ye we need more axes - i think there the best weapon to have as well - thought there would be more about

[grant_ploughbot]

The problem is that its very hard to make an effective FW axe, thats there have been many attempts but not many that have work very effectivly. Thats why i think LH2 is so good!
Basher should be a good contender too - Hornet better watch his Mag

[RogueTwoRobots]

Oh yeah Leo, I forgot to add the spinners together :P

One of these days Ill get my crusher built, but with the weight limit increase it might be harder to cause any decent damage with a crusher, especially one with only 400kg of crush :S
