User:ToastUltimatum/Audited Wars

Recently, I and a friend have been running our own Audited Wars, as something to do on our 45-minute bus rides to college. This began with a simple audit of Series 4, and from then on, I made a follow-up series with seedings based on the robot’s placement in my preceding Audited Series. Besides choosing heats for the seeds, the other robots in the heats were chosen totally at random, using RANDOM.org.

=Audited Series 4= Audited Series 4 was actually run twice. The first series was fairly interesting, with a surprisingly balanced random opponent draw, as well as other interesting events including a heat loss for Firestorm 2 at the hands of Suicidal Tendencies 2, and heat victory for Rambot, over Evil Weevil 2. I originally had Dantomkia 1.0 win a heat, defeating Wild Thing along the way, but I eventually changed my mind on this decision. However, a shortage of unseeded series semi-finalists, and a personally dissatisfying Grand Final of Chaos 2 vs. Panic Attack (which we awarded to Panic Attack) made we wish to redub it. The redub is as follows;

Seeding

 * 1) Chaos 2
 * 2) Hypno-Disc
 * 3) Firestorm 2
 * 4) Steg 2
 * 5) Panic Attack
 * 6) Gemini
 * 101
 * 1) Wild Thing
 * 2) Evil Weevil 2
 * 3) Gravedigger
 * 4) Spawn of Scutter
 * 5) Bigger Brother
 * 6) Razer
 * 7) Behemoth
 * 8) Pussycat
 * 9) King B3

Pussycat was awarded a high seeding, as it defeated Scutter’s Revenge in battle, before being disqualified. King B3 was seeded on the basis of reaching the arena stage of the series semi-finalists, before falling in the heats of Series 3.

Binned Robots

 * Clawed Hopper – Despite arguably being superior to Millenium Bug, I felt that as the Series 4 walkers were pretty much a gimmick for show, I would keep Millenium Bug, which looked more like the conventional walker.

 * Maverick
 * Medusa 2000
 * Oblivion 2
 * Reptirron
 * The Predator

Recap
This audit satisfied me much moreso, I was able to eliminate Chaos 2 and Razer before the Grand Final, in perfectly viable circumstances. While Rambot maybe didn’t win a heat, and I didn’t get any more unseeded heat winners than last time, I still had some interesting outcomes, including a Grand Final for Spawn of Scutter, no less. With this completed, I moved onto Audited Series 5.

=Series 5=

Seeding

 * 1) Pussycat
 * 2) Hypno-Disc
 * 3) Dominator 2

 * 8) Stinger
 * 9) Firestorm 3
 * 10) 3 Stegs to Heaven

Additionally, to make up for a lack of available seedings, Terrorhurtz was placed in Bigger Brother’s heat, and King B Powerworks was placed in Gemini’s heat.
