Right, it's been a few weeks without updating this old thing. Not that I don't build, just I do all my showcasing on Discord nowadays. Ah well, CW bot dump incoming for all you absolute plebeians that aren't on Discord
Synth 2:

Originally a terrible HW, I redisigned it to be a big f*ck off vert in preparation for Deathmatch 4. It took a bit of time and reworking, but I'm happy with the result.
Alloy:

Failed attempt to make a HW chassisbot flipper, but pl10 put it perfectly at CW, so I did that instead. I'm surprised how well it lips, though I think that has everything to do with a rather wide burst arc.

From a failed HW to a failed MW. I've had the idea of a tombclone with this shape for a little while, so after finding a fitting name, I went ahead and made this
I'm not good at making Heavyweights.

That's right, I'm bringing it this time around.
Bot rundown
Phantom 3: Of course I was entering this. It's my flagship bot. Most of you know it well by now.
Devil Woman: Brand new build in a classic form. It's a rather obvious Carbide clone, and it feels like a really well-balanced bot in terms of weapon, armor, and drive.
Artifice: Probably my most unique build in a while. Made to somewhat tank spinners and hit weak spots precisely. In testing, it does both well and showed well in a Parsec tourney KILLER ran.
Polaroid EVO: Rebuild of a CW flipper I entered into PWS 1. The flipper doesn't have quite the power I'd want, but it gets the job done. Needed titanium 10 to push it to HW, though.
Vice and Virtue: Cluster time boys, and thanks to Sev's decision to let clusters be even more dumb, both are HW. Vice is a 4-mad overhead, Virtue is a brick meant to buy Vice time.
Going to post tourney splashes instead of keeping a proper showcase because no one looks at showcases anyways

Bot rundown (clockwise from top right)
Kodiak: 4wd eggbeater I've already shown in this showcase, some decoration lost for more battery life, but it works and looks about the same as before, so I'm happy
Polaroid EVO: Same as the version entered in PWS, did well in that tourney, so hopefully it can do well in AI as well. Besides, not all of my bots can be spinners.
Glitch in the System: Newest build I have. Super happy with how the skin and shape came out on this one. The chassis armor is trash, but the way I designed it kind of required the armor to suck.
ReVoltage: This bot's been lying in my game for months now without a single tournament appearance, so I decided to upgrade it and put it in MM for a bit of fun. The weapon kind of sucks, but it looks cool, at least.
Overpower Mk. II: This is what happens when an inexperienced builder tries to clone ORBY Blade. I wanted to rebuild it for this tournament, but I couldn't make anything I was happy with. Instead, enjoy an internal rework to make the current design actually work in tournaments.
Twisted Fate 2: My new ace in AI. Of course, it's the same bot shown above, but the colored drum helps the weapon look more solid imo.
Made a new HW flipper today. I'm really happy with it, though it'll never be able to enter a tournament.

And this is why it's not entering a tournament
