User blog:RA2/N00b Warz 2

So, as everyone may or may not know, I'm entered in the Noob Warsz tournament over at Gametechmods. Noob Warz is a specialtorunament exclusively for robots that you built when you were a n00b. My entry is a very, very old replica of Shredder Evolution, which I bult in July of 2006. It's nohwere near my replica standards today, but it's a nice bit of nostalgia. Here is its progress so far:

Round 1 vs Der Mauulwulf (the mole). A 1-on-1 battle against my good freind Thyrus. It's a shame that one of us has to knock out the other; I feel as though both our bots were very good. I've got the advantage in terms of armamaent, but Der Maalwurf has better pushing power, and that flipper. This one had me on the edge of my seat, and the fan outcry over the results was quite flattering to the loser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz_pIzGSszI

Round 2 vs Butcheroo vs Killer Pink Bot of Doom vs Is Chocolate a Good Bot? Yep, I'll be using abbrevations liberally in this commentary. This was the second round, and this time it's a 4-way melee. With an arena this crowded, it's inveitable that someone's going to end up on the floor flipper. As you saw in my last match, I can run inverted, but not that well, that was one of my fears here. The one that worried me the most was Butcheroo; he can just hack away at my discs, and those ram plates will protect his front from my attacks. My best chance here was to hope that Shredder Evolution pursued ICAGB and broke his spindly legs before wailing on the body, however with that many bots in the ring, there's no telling what will happen.
