Alot of the bots in BBEANS 1 use building techniques that now are absolutely unacceptable. Although some bots (such as [[Event Horizon 2]], [[Flaming Whizzer]], and others were good and used many current techniques, like space management, [[DSA]] and snapper loading). It was kind of reminiscent of the first series of Robot Wars.

A lot of the bots entered in the tournament used building techniques that are now considered unacceptable (although some bots such as [[Event Horizon 2]] and [[Flaming Whizzer]] were good and used many current techniques such as good space management, [[DSA]], and snapper loading). BBEANS 1 was the first AI tournament ever done.
Many of these bots seemed to have been built by the newer new members, because [[Starcore]]'s third AI pack, with many well-built and still competitive bots, came out before BBEANS 1 took place. BBEANS 1 was the first AI tournament ever done.

Summary of tournament:

     −
Summary: The tournament's front runners emerged after two or three rounds were completed. As expected, Child's Play IV ([[ACAMS]]) led the pack in terms of Wins, KOs, and TKOs, closely followed by a surprise in LeVeL ([[InfiniteInertia]]). Also, Eco Jr. ([[Sorrow]]) and Shreddar ([[Somestrangeguy]]) rounded out the top four of the unbeaten machines.

Crowd favorites such as Brown Wreckluse 2 ([[Clickbeetle]]), Pillar of Fire ([[Firebeetle]]), 3.14-ston ([[Luigica]]), Bio Quad ([[Sage]]), Box of Grime ([[Dexterhunter]]), and Rigadoon ([[Barbie]]) seemed as if they all fell into trouble. Brown Wreckluse 2 ([[Clickbeetle]]), Pillar of Fire ([[Firebeetle]]), Bio Quad ([[Sage]]), and Rigadoon ([[Barbie]]) all managed to make strong runs in the losers bracket though.
