*raises hand* Erm...Mr. Beetle? I think the weapon on Iron Curtain 2 cuts through the flipper segment that's supposed to keep it off the ground...unless it's the same thing as Die-Cast.

Although Ferrous Wheel looks fantastic. I found a Ferrous Wheel shirt not too long ago.

As usual, creative designs.

Though i will gladly destroy them all with wedges AND shell spinners

I'm really loving Feroous Wheel and Irony. I can't wait to see these in Nar AI.

Indeed. I tried putting a bunch of stuff on the bottom of the DSL bar but it was either too tall or too short. The flipper segment is the only way that works.

Lolwut. I suppose it's not surprising that someone else would have come up with that pun.

Actually not hard to do, with the right design... as I said they are only moderately dangerous on average. Although the only way Ferrous Wheel or Irony can lose to a wedge is to be flipped and then get the chassis hit, which might be difficult.

Wish I involved myself more in DSL so I knew better what the bots do and why they be so good. In the meantime, though, stock pleez? :)

Some CC4 rejects.

Saw*Saw*Saw (Saw³)

The idea was to clamp on the sides of bots and cut off wheels and flippers. And it actually works... sometimes. In fact, 2 years ago this bot would have been top-tier stuff. But it's not 2 years ago and now it's just average. Also, the lack of invertibility really hurts on a bot that's supposed to be an anti-flipper.

Cube for the win (CFTW)

I really like this bot. It's fun to drive and it has a very powerful (if fragile) weapon that chews up wedges like nobody's business. But mostly I like how it actually has INTERNALLY MOUNTED COMPONENTS AND IS OBVIOUSLY A CUBE, unlike most bots where the cube chassis requirement hardly affects design at all. Kinda like a LW Allomancer. If I didn't have a better bot, this would be my entry.

However, it doesn't stand a chance against wedgeless VS's (which will likely be abundant) and it is easily outweaponed. And the wedge is good but not awesome, and you really need an awesome wedge to do good in tournaments.

????

And this is probably my entry. That's all you're seeing of it for now.

It's a great counter to both flippers and VS's, so I'm confident it can do well. And that's all I'm saying about it for now.
