This is a good one:
Stock LW
No red extenders
HS
no cheatbot2
ok the point of that is?

Stupid restrictions are the new "cool" :P

They're 20 times stronger than the black ones, I'm surprised at you not knowing that.

Speaking of stupid restrictions, how about if we disallowed some of the more commonly used/effective parts, such as razors, HPZs or NPCs? We might get some more diverse and interesting designs if builders tried to use uncommon components in an effective manner.

But Razor Tips are the only 7kg weapon, and I believe one of the lightest weapons (I'm talking about Stock here, btw, it's the only one I know). In order to have successfully created my lightweight for BOTM, I needed to use razor tips - I had no choice if it were to stay LW

Just sayin :3

That's kinda my point. It'll force people to use components that they wouldn't normally use, and we'd get some different, interesting and unique designs. Not to say we don't have those already, I just think it'd make things a little bit more challenging.

A no splash BOTM might be cool. In a lighter note, I'd likee to see people try to identify bots through builder's styles instead of splashes.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

This idea was touched on before, with a standardised splash being used by everyone, but that plan wasn't too well received, IIRC.

I proposed making a fill in splash (so a generic splash for everyone that they just fill out)

Then the winner submits there own splash for the front page..

Joe, your so funny...

Interesting idea, since a lot of members tend to base there opinions on the splash.
(I don't, of course)
We could just say that this "Stock splash" would be just to screenshot the robot while its in the bot-lab, and leave it at that.
