I assigned the regions like March Madness does it, each region here comprising 8 teams. Going around the circle: North is End Game’s region, Ribbot is the top seed in the East, Whiplash in the South and Sawblaze in the West. This week are the first round of fights in the North and West. The…

6-1!!!!!!! Week 8 was a disaster (2-5!!!) and last week wasn’t great at 4-3, but I close out the regular season strong. They’ll be an upcoming post that looks at my week to week record and considers the Picks overall. Anyhow, Week 10! Bloodsport (2-1) over Claw Viper (1-2) Ummm, despite a win Bloodsport seems…

This was probably the only week this year that I felt was extremely meh. Some significant teams got their records to 2-1 (Cobalt, Minotaur, Valkyrie if you’re into that sort of thing). Cobalt woke up, Blip was hella impressive again, and Lock-Jaw is apparently bad now. But the fights, eh, I dunno, not very compelling.…

Tombstone, Gigabyte, Black Dragon all managed to save their seasons and make it to 2-1. On the other hand, Hydra notably did not. Then we had a couple of 2-0 matches to conclude the night, one was very good, one was a ‘blink and you’ll miss’ type of event. Not exactly what everyone was looking…

Huh, I wasn’t expecting this! Week 10 is here and we haven’t seen the third appearance of Whiplash, or Uppercut, or Rotator, or Tantrum, or several other 2-0 robots. Well! It looks like they’re just getting a free pass into the tournament at 2-0! I guess that makes sense, only have the robots fight that…

Picks Record: 5-2 Back on track! Bloodsport (1-1) over Subzero (0-2) “In which Subzero cannot time a flip right to save his life, and ends up losing his life” Pretty good showing from Subzero, who I worried about after they lost embarassingly in a YouTube match that really should have been a better showing (Shatter!…

Last week was awful. Let’s do better! No complaints on the fight card but it is lacking almost any “top tier” bots. We’re still waiting on the third match for Uppercut, Whiplash, Copperhead, Witch Doctor, Bloodsport, Madcatter, Rotator, Mammoth, Huge, Shatter!, holy moly that’s most of the fight card. I guess they’re saving a bunch…
