Ironically, I have exactly the same problem, everything I make ends up way bigger than it should be, or I might've entered.

... Huh. My problem is the reverse. I set out trying to make the BW, and I made an AW.


Anyway, seems I can't make anything good with stock parts. Entry unlikely.

Personally, i think BOTM should be the best bot showcased during that month, and people nominate, and then the community votes.


Not many people build stock BWs.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

if he (hydro) was banned stupid posts would go down by about 90% :P he really has been posting some useless stuff.

back on topic, i'll try and find a decent bw to submit to make up numbers.
