1 - 30min for a HW is base time. Maybe more, maybe less. LW and MW generally take less time.

2- Quite possibly one with a large amount of snapper loaded skirt hinges.

3- I have no idea. Hard to choose only one.

1) Building is an ongoing process. I rarely ever consider a bot "finished" and I'm always trying to tinker and re-design new things. If stuff isn't working the way I want to, bots can take hours and hours to build. Heck, I've been trying to build R5 for the better part of 6 years.

2) R5. Six years and I still haven't made an iteration I'm satisfied with.

3) I've built bots much more complicated, but R4 is still probably my favourite. I liked the most recent version of Skrzak as well (MW HS, Doomed Bots champion), unfortunately I lost it when transferring PCs.

Doomkiller released the AI for Doomed Bots years back, so you could always get Skrzak back if you wanted.

I believe Robo is talking about the version he made after Doomed Bots because IIRC he did make one.

Lol someone here actually takes longer than me to build something.

1.  Average
Stuff I don't care about, 20 - 40 minutes
Stuff I care about, 5+ hours.

2/3.  Difficult?  Nope.  Time consuming?  Yes.  And the most time consuming thing so far is the last BOTM.

Also whenever the wedge AGOD and I have to shuffle the component order around until I find one that works.
