Dino, your so funny.

Still...
Despite the fact I don't use DSL, the rules for this month's competition seem interesting, as they are rather restrictive.

Also, I get the feeling people will mount the [other weapon] off the hammer, and claim it as being 2-in-1.

The no tri-bars rule is random, but seems like it should be a good one.

Not unless they want to be DQ'ed ......that would just be adding weapons to the hammer and not meeting the rules!

Stupid Question Time TM

Is the "hammer" hammer component such as the sledge hammer or is it a hammer type robot?

I did have a bot to enter but my DSL-TC crashed so I'm still trying to figure out how to get it working again...

You're not supposed to tell people that you've entered either. We all got a right verbal spanking from ACAMS a couple of months ago for doing that.
