Technically, it is perfectly legal, just underweight. It wouldn't be illegal to enter Final Z against HW's, you'd just be screwed because you only used however many kilos Final Z is.
My above post explains everything about everything.

@ Joe: Explosion can flip Heavyweights
That reminds me of testing my old Noob Wars 3 entry, Hog of War. It flipped EMERGENCY in testing  :approve:
You don't understand, Explosion can flip Heavyweights IRL

I did, but it reminded me of Hog of War, so I mentioned it.

Dark Horse

though it will probably change during the building of the real one (I still dont know if I will use a bar or disk yet)



will run in DSL (no cheat parts) but I will need to do a tiny text edit if I use this for RW2 ( just the triangle end pieces are invisible as they attach directly to the base.. just need to add the visible line that things like NPC's have)

yeah I couldn't remember if they was allowed or not but no problem to change.. the drive and back panels are both attached to skirt hinges to stack in such a position

Man that makes my probable entry for RW2 look crap.

Then again i know mines VERY underweaponed, but i can't realy give it a weapon without ruining the replica-yness of it  :mad:

Another rep:

Gravedigger
All stock parts and at 207.5kg a lightweight


It can flip all lightweights and most middleweights, although EMERGENCY is a bit tough!


Yay, srimech!

I do those awful YouTube videos.

its a case of it being stupidly overpowered

people use it for all there replicas and its completely unrealistic...

I am 100% sure your FW flipper couldnt toss a HW robot end of end effortlessly and...

Yeah, I used it on my Cassius 2 rep. Got third place thanks to it actually  =3

same deal again, great replica ruined, Cassius couldnt launch HW robots into the air as high as Gravity could, the part is completely abused in replica building IMO

I wont enter RW2 if its permitted myself.. but thats just my thoughts (no, im not ranting)
TBH I think it should just be proper stock and dsl components, my replica for RW 2 just uses dsl although i could do things to make it more powerful (including using a judge burst) but i think it ruins the point if you start ignoring the replica aspect of it.

i think it should be just DSL. HPZs and black batts are already overpowered compared to stock.

the only parts I stole from cheatbot2 was the 2 large beta panels and the 2 little triangle pieces... all just for looks they dont make the robots weapon more powerful or more damaging, etc

also the mini axle motors which I want to replace because they actually suck as drive :P

If they have balanced HP and realistic weight, it's fine for me.
