First up in MW, we have Team Ernie's #1 rated CFL bot of all-time, it's SUICIDE!!!!! After narrowly beating Unlimited Limits in round 1, Suicide has made quick work of both Force Feedback and LowDown t get to the semis. Fellow MW champ AMP will try to cut his run short, so which one of these MW juggernauts will advance to the finals?

Next, is the horizontal spinning bar of Team AC/DC's bext CFL bot ever, it's AMP!!!! Mr. 3-3-OHHH-8-8 has taken down "My Hands", Adrenichrome, and Tooths LOL to get to the semis. Now that he fights one of the best bots ever, how does this veteran spinner fair?

AMP. His spinner is 2.6x the power that Suicide has armor. I just don't think Suicide can survive here against a modern spinner.

Agreed, I see suicide holding his ground, but not for long.
The unforeseen consequences of ABC's Battlebots selection process:

1999: Shadetree tinkerer sees combat robots made from wheelchair parts and old tire rims; says I can do this. Hobby robotic combat is born.

2016: Shadetree tinkerer sees combat robots that look like they were designed by NASA engineers with DARPA funding; says I can't do this. Hobby robotic combat dies.

Like with Underall, I don't see the big fuss over Suicide, IMO it should have lost to Unlimited Limits. Here I really can't see 5 armour standing up to AMP for very long.

Believe me it isn't worth it... I've been questioning everyone's Underall hard-on for a long ass time now.

Since my vote ties it up right now, I'll just go on record as saying AMP, should it come to a breaker.
There are few crimes in our modern society that merit public beating. Interrupting someone's enjoyment of Messiah to request "Jingle Bells" by the Singing Dogs is irrefutably one such offense.

Umm, I voted for Suicide because I think his plow will be able to flip AMP over. When that happens, AMP will be screwed. He's got enough torque and weapon to counter the power of AMP's weapon. I don't know why people think 5 armor is going to crumble on impact, I mean yeah it's not great, but AMP's too overpowered IMO. I think AMP will only be able to fully execute a few really good hits before Suicide smothers him into walls and control the rest of the match (or just KO him all together).

More or less what Chris said. Granted it's entirely possible that AMP could rip up Shaz, but if Shaz can tip over AMP, well, AMP is one of the worst self-righters out there.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

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

Yeah but tipping AMP over has always been easier said than done... the only one I can recall ever doing it was Rooster Teeth, and he got laid out on his side in the process too.

AMP has a 2.6/1 weapon/armor advantage over Suicide, and we all saw what Extreme Gyration did to Lime-Y in ARC: Aftermath with a 2.5/1 advantage. Also, AMP is less prone to self-destruction then EG was.
