This is a SHW tournament due note. And because of this, I bet hardly any robots will be able to fit in the pit, purposefuly or not. So... the pit would then become useless. And really, unless you have increased the mass of the drop zone hazard, it really does not do that much damage, and its only a one use thing. So.... why not make the pit larger, it you are going to have it at all?
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I'm thinking the bots in question would lose mobility unless their wheels stretch out wide enough to be able to drive OVER the pit. Otherwise, the wheels will be suspended, and they'll be a sitting duck, either for a immobility countdown or just getting pummeled.

Maybe we should take a vote from everybody considering entry into this.

one issue is I dont know how to edit the rw arena

the pit isn't useless as the qualifying bots can be quickly dispatched if the pit is open

the hazards arn't completely useless the flipper in the rw arena is really powerful and has caused upsets in testing

RedlineM203 is completely right about the pit, robots get a wheel caught a drive back and forth in circle motions to get unhooked leaving them open

and if a robot doesn't flit down the pit but is also stuck in that position they will be counted out

remember it sure beats the combat zone from clash cubes 1

Thats true, my bot is too big for combat zone. One of the weapons is inside the wall or bended really hard at the start and when the countdown ends, the bot flies to the other end of the arena.

Shamelessly and repeatedly necroing your own showcase is fun!
First, a semi-joke bot I built: Huge Frigging Vertical Spinner


Also: I will not be outdone in drum awesomeness! Ready for SHW combat and heavily upgraded, meet the Hyper Humdrums!

Awesome weight management there, 799.9kg. Maybe the bot could be better (I'm not familiar with some DSL weapon setups) but still, it's extremely well managed.

Super Humdrums ain't so bad either.

Hyperdrums is a better name IMO.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

The bot I should have entered in CC2:

HEY SOMEBODY, GRUDGE MATCH!

Yes, I have a ton of bots to upload. Yes, the splash sucks. Yes, I say "yes" a lot.

Actually, it killed 2 WIIDE Loads within 90 seconds. Admittedly, one was OOTA but that's still pretty effective.

The same thing that plagued humdrums applies to the new ones: wheels are too big making them too fast.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Originally I was going to put the new Hums on tank tracks but that didn't work out. I'll fix the wheels for my next update.

A new bot: not satisfactory enough to deserve a splash, 400kg heavier but only as effective as Smashbox 2, introducing Conglomerate!



The idea was to take Click's TIMBER! and turn it into a flipper, with the chassis acting as a counterweight to the robot being flipped, and powered by two spring Betas for maximum power. It didn't work. This one will get redesigned too.

I would take that challenge, except for 2 things.

1: It would be boring as heck (SnS vs. SnS)

2. Super SnS would take off the horrible exposed and perfectly leveled perms.

Also, can it self-right?
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Sort of. It vibrates really fast and spazzes out until it gets on its wheels again. I also have no idea how to protect those Perms, but Super SNS didn't seem to need protection, so I didn't use it. Besides, it spins around a bit faster than SSNS due to the Technos and three motors instead of two.

Nobody wants to comment on Conglomerate? I know it sucks but still...

The reason why it doesn't works IMO is that the flipping part (actually your chassis and the wedges) is too heavy to flip powerfully.
