It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Bit dissapointed I couldn't out- wedge CF tbh, but hey, I'll take a 3-1, especially with those wins in SHW and MW coming as huge surprises. Apparently I'm good at this&#33;

Also, with this week, I now have exactly double the worth of my losses in wins&#33;

2-2 will do for me but I'm really happy with Sparkster and Lethal Carriageways performances, they've managed to get into the play-offs but it depends who they'll face in the knockouts, I'll amazed as to how durable Sparkster is, it can be a pesky machine to try and stop, As for LC I slightly worried about the spinning discs he may face potentially and not to mention Defiance, it sounded quite grueling.

I've also realized something too, this will be Sparkster's second successive attempt in making it into the play offs after the first design when he was just a first version which was a ramming type robot.

Oh dear, looks like I fucked up somewhat on the HW RP. I thought ChaosFerret was one of the guys who was FFing, and so I didn't try accordingly. And then because of that, I lost all my profit. Silly me. :v:

Apart from that blunder though, 3-1's pretty good. Some nice convincing wins in the LW and MW in particular, which is always great to see- especially that bit with Smiler obliterating both halves of Rainbow Crash.

First round playoff fightcard updated. I'm putting it through next week since things updated so slowly.

Rosebud, March or Die and Golden Blaze. All three robots I lost to during the season, so I could have my entire remaining team eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. Wouldn't that be fun.

Mineswept Away and Pegasus Device? Interesting.

Though Lyra potentially could have made it as well if not for that undone win against Depth Charge, so I admit I'm a little bit annoyed about that.
