Summary of tournament:
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.
In the quarterfinals, the four undefeated bots squared off. Child's Play continued to move along, shutting out Eco Jr with 2 KOs and 1 TKO. Shreddar upended LeVeL, managing 2 KOs while LeVeL earned a single TKO. The winner's bracket final, semifinal of the tournament would be Shreddar (Somestrangeguy) facing off against the undefeated Child's Play IV (ACAMS). Child's Play would survive an early scare, defeating Shreddar with a KO and a TKO, while Shreddar earned himself a KO.
LeVeL defeated some strong bots in Volatile Partisan (Phlox) and Eco Jr. (Sorrow) to advance to the Loser's Bracket final for a rematch against Shreddar (Somestrangeguy). The results from last time were reversed, with LeVeL (InfiniteInertia) advancing to the final from the loser's bracket with 2 KOs and a KO against him.
In the final, it went down to the last face off between the two bots. However, Child's Play IV (ACAMS) won the BBEANS3 title with a final TKO. The top two bots finished as follows:
Childs Play IV (ACAMS) 7 KOs, 9 TKOs, 7-0 record.
Le\/eL (InfiniteInertia) 14 KOs, 5 TKOs, 7-2 record.
The rumble between Brown Wreckluse 2 (Clickbeetle), Rigadoon (Barbie), Interceptor (Harcsa), and Shreddar (Somestrangeguy) was won by Rigadoon (Barbie) due to a blow to the wheel of Brown Wreckluse 2 (Clickbeetle).
Also notable to this tournament, the best robot built never to win an actual battle, Spinner from the West!
