Aggrobot Award: Vesta vs. Mordor. Good Grief.

The Golden Horseshoe: Sekhmet. I have no idea how I kept winning against fast bricks.

The Antimatter Horseshoe: I'll go with Terminal Velocity Classic. I honestly expected a playoff run from that one.

The Tombstone: Most of the Deathspinners didn't have great records, so I'm going to go with Howler II: it swept its group, knocking out ALL FIVE of its opponents.

The Abbatoir: I'm going to nominate my own robot again: Firebird. I was really excited about the friction drill, but it just didn't have the speed to actually put it to use.

The Setrakian Cup: Okay, Euphoberia is going to win this one, and it deserves to for (a) starting the Snek fad, and (b) having the elegant beauty I associate with Setrakian's bots. But (and I'm very sorry about nominating my own bot again), I think Funerary Precession at least deserves to be mentioned, because its drive system has literally NEVER been done.

The Tornado Award: Everyone's saying Ramp Camp, and it was cheap, but IMO the spirit of this award calls for a cheap design strategy, since Tornado was infamous not for its driving, but for its anti-crusher cage attachment which made it too big for the pit. So I'd like to nominate...

Melty Hybrids with Asymmetric Bars&#33; Turbolulz and Mordor both exploited not one, but TWO rules loopholes. First, the "technically the bar is shorter than the long axis of the robot" loophole let them put a +4 weapon armor bonus on a spinner that sweeps a 30 degree angle, and second, the melty hybrid rules made it possible to transition between an extremely fast and controlled drivetrain and a 16-17 power spinner almost instantaneously. Combining those had hilarious results.

Beginner's Luck: Uhh... I guess I'll nominate Shaba like everyone else is doing since she wasn't in a major ARC tournament IIRC. But if you count Reddit tournaments, really pretty much everyone's a veteran.

OK, thanks. Well in which case, I'll vote for Howler 2 and Heretic respectively to break the ties as needed.

Sorry. Some writers didn't come through. I'm trying to write the results myself, but I also have to write for Monkeywrench and I was in one of the fights in question. I'll do what I can to get them posted soon.
