We've got 60 at the moment. Nice round number.

What about 123's Christmas Reindeer? Some great artbot work right there.

Ounce already had a bot that looks just like Final Z and was enter into a tournament before BBEANS6 registration even started.
js
I built the prototype for Final Z before the Amazing Rage splash was posted :P
But that was the first one posted on the forums :P

Tofu doesn't deserve to be on the list. Heck, a lot of the DSL ones on the list don't.
We need some of the geezers here to tell us some major bots from 2007 and prior.
Like don't just put bots on cause they're new and shiny.

Tornado should be on there do to how much pain and suffering it caused for everybody when they first played the game.
Also:
Nuclear Fallout (best wedges on a stock bot entered into a tournament)

(in addition to what's been posted)

Barbed Obsidian. (Luigica was a genius, this was IMO his finest work)
Little Darling. (people around when I started will remember her horrors)
Vise/Frag Beetle 2- the best side hammers ever built.
Final Destination- finalized the reinvention of the hammer, and is one of the best.

I'll think of more. Whatever Inf named the true-piston-popup he has in INF AI is truly the best of it's kind.




You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

MAXIMUM? I bet that the two the you and me made a couple years ago were better :P

A lot of Sage's spinners could go on this. Nefarious (first 36HS setup on two servos), Oh Snap 2 (First one snapper 36HS IIRC), and Black and Blue (First one green snapper 36HS).


Also Grade 4 Whiplash (also made by Ounce) had the best wedges of any stock bot entered in a tournament.

I guess after this list we'll have way more than 100 so we'll just shorten it down somehow?
