Not sure if I would have gone with Complete Control, but I certainly agree Witch Doctor should not have moved forward. Just was not impressive.

If you buy a ticket for a remake, you are the problem, not Hollywood.

The judges very much disagree. Not only was Witch Doctor a wild card, but it was given the #9 seed in the second round, higher than four bots that actually won their first round.

Mark my words, Witch Doctor will get trashed (again) by any decent bot.

Well witch doctor won her next match, so you were way off there. Though she will certainly lose to the #1 seed in her next match.

That's true. The bot had features that never came into play the first match because she was slaughtered so fast.

> Though she will certainly lose to the #1 seed in her next match.

Probably. But, I am less sure about that than I used to be. The equalizing factor is the arena. Witch Doctor seems capable of flipping any bot, including Tombstone. Tombstone seems capable of running on its back, however. But, if it is flipped onto the screws or beyond the edges, it may get stuck, despite being undamaged.

Plus, I worry that the spikes, which haven't been active yet, might be turned on for the semi-finals. If Tombstone hits a spike, it could destroy itself.

Attack from above to get over frontal armor, I assume

Death to shakeycam directors!

I think the judges were mad about the whole net thing. I wasn't impressed with either of those bots in that match.

I agree with everything you've said here, especially concerning Witch Doctor. CC was robbed. I would love to see what it can do fully operational.
