Robo*Con Signups

So ya boy's hosting a tourney. I have all the details planned out, and renders of an arenas.
Sign up Info
This tournament will be using the Ruination Ruleset, so make sure to read it! There's a considerable amount of differences from normal ARC rules.
Weight classes: LW, MW
Arena: Super Grey Oval for most rounds
Final Destination for the semifinals and finals.
Notes for each arena:
Super Grey Oval
This arena has two active hazards and one passive hazard.
In the center of the arena, there's a static speedbump. If you stray too close to the ends of these speed bumps, you'll get launched into the air. If your armor is 6 or lower, you'll take minor damage. If your armor is 4 or lower, you'll take serious damage.
The starting squares (rectangles, really) start normal enough, but transform into pits with short walls. Your flipper needs at least 5 power to get bots after many tries, and 7 to get in consistently.
Final Destination
"But wait, how did you get an arena in space?"
Don't question it.
Anyway, this one's a pretty standard arena with no real hazards to speak of. The purple edges of the wall are sharpened and opponents may be dealt minor damage if shoved into it. There's also flat lexan panelling between each edge.
OOTAs are possible, but unlikely. You need a 7 powered flipper to get robots out after many tries, and a 9 powered one to get them out consistently. If a robot ends up out of bounds, a giant laser comes out of the bottom of the arena and blasts the offending robot to pieces.
----
Bracket setup: Basic double elimination. Maximum of 16 entrants in each bracket, you are allowed to enter just 1 of the 2 brackets if you so choose.
Word Limit: Strict limit of 400 words, not including stats and "gl hf"-type endings. You might be able to get away with 401 words if I don't decide to check your particular RP, but shit like this will <del>get called out and DQ'd pretty much instantly.</del> I've decided that instead of DQing people outright for excessively long RPs, I just won't acknowledge anything you write that extends past the 400 word limit.
Terrible, unfun gimmick: All robots must be based off of some form of media. If you're familiar with CBC2's "This is NOT a comic-con" rumble, it's essentially that.
Examples:
Hazardous Waste Removal is not themed off of anything, so it would be rejected.
Tongue of the Fatman is themed off of the MS-DOS game of the same name, so it would be accepted.
You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire is clearly themed after a Queens of the Stone Age song, so it would be accepted.
Waifubots such as Renka and Remi III are legal. Same goes for husbandobots such as Dr. Robotnik. I will do seedings <del>and rig it so waifubots get top seeding</del> based off of the current rolling rankings placements.
Signups last from now until either Febuary 10th or after I get my entries in, whichever comes last.

My entries:
LW - Pingu
Last-minute CBC2 reentry because I couldn't get my puncher finished in time. Noot noot.

Speed: 5
Torque: 1
Traction: 3
Armor: 9 (+2 wedge+teeth)
Weapon: 12
MW - Nitori
Lifter with a saw-clamp underneath.
Speed: 5
Torque: 2
Traction: 3 (+1 treads)
Armor: 5
Weapon: 14 (13 saw, 1 arm)
Upon removing the saw and replacing the arm + skirts, it gets these stats:
Armor: 14 (arm and skirts are 14 armor, chassis and treads are 5)
Weapon: 5 (5 lifter, 0 saw because it's not attached any more)

Writer signups: If possible, I'm looking for 3 additional writers and 2 backups.
