Currently writing my RP, now. I'm feeling reasonably confident about it, so hopefully it should be a matter of who I'll face afterwards if I do win. |

Forgot to mention it earlier, but my RP is up. I cannot express in words how much I hope I win this one. |

RP'ing for Merry Hampton's match against Force Feedback. I feel I should come out with the win in that one, but all the same he did dominate me last time. Hopefully it wont happen again. If anything I wanna get Merry and Klarinette to the finals more than Curse at this stage. I'm on the hunt for the grand slam, it'll be hard, but I could make it. |

That's 2 outta 3 for me with the MW RP up, feeling the most confident about that match than the others. |

TP sorry about that. But all 3 RP's are accounted for. If I can get one bot in the finals, I'll be happy with that. Two bots would be great, but I'm going realistically and I don't want to set myself high expectation, cause we all know what happened last time I set myself lofty goals.... |

I didn't realize it, but the delay pushed this tournament to sync up with the NFL. Our semi finals are happening at the same time as their championship matches and our finals are gonna happen during the superbowl. Fun fact. |

Nah, I'm pretty sure ARC is manlier than a sport that calls itself 'Football', yet requires wearing pathetic body armour and constantly handballing. Get some Metal or something in there instead.

because robot combat is one of the most dangerous sports with one accidental flick of a switch, someone could die. |

The people that play rugby are also about 50-100lbs lighter. It's a rarity to find someone playing rugby that's heavier than 220-230lbs. The extra mass that gridiron players carry means extra force. And gridiron players are repeatedly blasting out of a 3 point stance on each play as fast as possible, directly at the player opposite them. Both sports are cool but the flak vests and pads that they use in gridiron are pretty necessary. The only thing that they probably shouldn't have is the helmet, at least in the form it is now. It's probably too conducive to concussions. |

How ignorant. Land hard enough on your neck you could either be killed or paralyzed for life. And the danger of gridiron is also the reason the refs throw flags on the ground instead of at offending players. Seriously, that's why they fricken penalize facemask grabbing and horse-collar tackling. Just sayin', there are many ways to die or end up permanently disabled in gridiron. In some ways to some people death is preferable. I'm reminded of a Public Service Announcement against drinking and driving, the narrator talked about how she was hit by a drunk driver and survived, and was told she was lucky. For this person (and I actually know the woman, so this isn't fiction), she had to have several surgeries, would need to have more in the future, wears a cast permanently on her leg and is in constant pain every minute of every day. The PSA ends with "Please don't drink and drive. I'm begging you. You could kill someone. Or worse, they could be lucky." The point of that is that when compiling stats, death and injuries that are severe enough should be pretty much considered on an equal footing. It's nothing to joke about. As far as a halftime show, having metal would be appropriate given that bots are usually made of metal. But I would have to demand that it be vintage metal, and not effin' screamo. Melodic metal, if you will. Maybe since robots are remote controlled, having Metallica play selections from their "Master Of Puppets" album would be most appropriate. |

They had ambiance music during the fights that was obviously not there at the actual fights, but dubbed in later. I don't think they had box entrance music like they do for UFC or WWE events (if "Here Comes The Boom" has any accuracy to it... I don't watch any of those events). |

Actually the music during the fights was really played in the fights. It's in the raw footage if you look for it. I think they may have dubbed the same track over it again, cleaned, and then added sound effects in post-processing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkoCsRPsmfw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0FQLQ1xKyc |

Robot Wars had some good battle music as well, and even had a bit of Rock/Metal. ______________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy2XTCmwiDY (Rock Theme.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdrsyPJRHdo (Grand Final Theme.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo4aHMGtNYY (Sir Killalot's theme- AKA the Japanese Rooftop stage from RW:ED.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSoihlOV37A (Dead Metal's theme- AKA the Aircraft Carrier stage from RW:ED.) ______________ That last one in particular reminds me in some ways of Metallica's Enter Sandman. |
