If I recall my first stock team was Team Ragnell, which would later spawn a similarly-named DSL team.  The stock team consisted of Thunderbird, a generic poker, a couple of tribar VSs, a disc HS, and a flipper.

The team still exists, but now with more modern stock bots.

My first bot was a LW, It was a very compact circle chassis with one nifty, two high power z-tecs and a pickaxe powered by a DDT.

I don't remember my first bot, but I know I played with the Rookies (especially BOT-CHOY)a bit before creating my first bot.

For the first half a month or so, I used to ONLY play with C.R.U.S.H. until I entered the world of bot building.

For some reason, for the first day or so of playing I just used Spin Bonker to decimate the AI.

may as well retell my story about my first install screwing up and not working with the shift and ctrl keys for the botlab so my first robot was spinbonker with un-rotated battle axes :P (as seen in N00b Warz 2)

after going through numerous computers i no longer have my first team, but i remember my first bot so well i can describe it easily
it was a klone of atom smasher, but with chewblades instead of hammers and a mace on a piston at the front that i couldnt figure out why it wasnt working (turns out i had no co2 tanks LOL)
<<< Stalk me on the Twitter! (... Please... I'm lonely)

4th place in COTT! My word...
