Lol, I was gonna do Argh!, STC.

So now I have to decide, what should the host enter for RW2...

I would enter something random (like Aggressive Polygon) but I want to compete, actually.

All of you guys are awesome, sweet reps. Can't wait to see them compete in my tournament.

That bot is from Team Velocity, right?

I would try to get at least medium or maybe large beater bars one way or another.

Do you even need Beater Bars?  It doesn't look like the ends of the bar are tipped with anything.  Turning the blade upside-down would be my advice,

You can do Argh, Badnik, I plan on entering something else. I just need skinning help.

I agree, I don't want any "extra weapons" arguements.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Using 3 40cm bars makes it look more like the original. Have the main 40cm bar inverted, and attach your 40cms on the ends just like you did before.

Also, check if a Perm 80 EL is realistic enough. That looks like a better substitute for the piglet.

The problem is though is that the bars do nearly no damage themselves. And it has to be combat effective if he wants to win.

@badnik: Believe me I tried but I couldn't make it combat effective. Astros 1mm plastic and a bsg with a 30 cm pole spike just didn't work. :P

@Pwn: Perm would look better but wouldn't give me enough weight for the weapon unless I went into the 1mm armor range.

Last time I saw Fiasco it had impact teeth on it's bar. I just couldn't find a recent picture of it.

My other option for RW



If I decide to use this one I will skin the disk and wheels but for now it has a mechavore disk and black ant wheels. Also at moto sloth had a wedge like my replica has.

yes.

and here is my possible entry for RW2, Dawn Patrol:



looks OK IMO, rule of 7 killed the extenders (and the fact that it would block off the blades completely) The shell panels represent the RL motor and that box thing near the wheels. Also needs blue flipper parts.

Does pretty well in combat, lasts 2:34 against Ruiner (and almost KO'ed him) and is an excellent grinder. Somewhat invertible, too.

Oh, and Plastic 1.

I cannot see that being very effective with ant blades on copals...
What tournament is that from?
