Bet you didn't see that one coming... 
As you've all noticed Robot SMASH!! is struggling (not cancelled), so exactly a year after the last one ended I bring you... THE EASTER BUNNY TRIBUTE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2009!
Last year Seung Mina III flipped Cat with Wheels, Storm II, Behemoth, E Clawdius Unum and Calm Down Dear, It's Only a Robot out of the competition to take the Easter Bunny Tribute Trophy!
If you missed out on the fun you can read all about the exploits of the first championship here:

Thankfully my battles have come on a lot since then...
But it won't be written at the same lightning pace it was last time, plus I'm going away for a week this Saturday, so it will most probably be put on hold for a week, or maybe even not started until I get back. We'll see.
And so down to business...
The arena this time is The Burrow Version 2.0
This is a 20 x 10m2 box with stainless steel and hardox floor of varying thicknesses, with the four corners painted with hazard stripes. From a birds eye view the top wall is where you'll find the pit release button, while the pit itself is just outside of the top right CPZ. House robots are absent in the first round to allow four starting spaces, but are present in rounds 2 and onwards in 2 of the 4 corners. The hardox walls are 35cm high, and on each of the sides there are two static spikes like the ones seen in Robot Wars Series 4. If you ram your opponent at these hard enough there's a chance they could become impaled, if their armour has a weak point that is.
The house robots are those of Robot Wars.
After 3 minutes if the match is still going then this method shall be used to make the decision:
Damage, /10 x 4
Aggression, /10 x 3
Control, /10 x 2
Dominance, /10 x 1
An average will then be calculated from those scores (using the Mean).
100kg wheeled machines
110kg tracks
150kg shufflers
200kg true walkers
Other than that standard FRA rules apply, though nitrogen and 60v is allowed.
You may reserve a spot until Friday.
I am looking for 8 people to enter 4 machines each, you must have at least 1 realie from AFTER Robot Wars Series 5 or Battlebots Season 3.0.
The tournament consists of 4 x 8-robot heats and a standard grand final, 4-way melees in the first round.
Seedings based on the last championship are as follows (newer machines may replace their predecessors, but they must belong to that line of robot):
01. Seung Mina III
02. Calm Down Dear, It's Only a Robot
03. E Clawdius Unum
04. Super Gore Evo
05. Behemoth
06. The Zenith
07. Crimson Thunder
08. Another Night at the Bar
Get entering!!!!
