1 heat per day for example.

We could do that, with 8 people per day, 8 heats (that makes 64) but it would a incredible pain to set up.
I do want to do that in the future, some day.

I also want to know when people want to do this again.

I could probably do whenever. I'm usually not busy during the times these events start (6PM+).

Considering you gave me permission, I thought I may as well enter your robot in the LWs due to all of mine being crap. I also wanted at least one of your bots to be part of the competition :). Hope I gave it a suitable name, I don't think you gave it one.

Yeah, it has. Sadly, I didn't enter yours in it but it was quite entertaining.

In order to keep this afloat. I will be posting all my new bots that I create, just to show the guys that don't have Garry's Mod.

Robo and I also discussed in a recent meeting about video tutorials. I can now confirm that these will be coming after Series 1 has been published.

Robo will do tutorials on how to make the average bot and move on to flippers. I will be showing different types of weapons and how to drive a bot effectively. (Though driving a bot may sound simple, to drive it effectively is a different matter)

As an update for Series 2, I believe that proper planning needs to be in place to grow the hype so that we get more entrants, not just from GTM. This means it will take longer but it'll be worth the wait.

I tried to join yesterday, but the map ref-ugeecamp (or whatever it was) was missing, and I can't seem to find it.
Mostly a lurker and Sm4sh Bros. player nowadays. :3

Gotta love that name :D Yeah, I'm sure Robo will post a link to the new map. I would but I'm writing this on my phone atm.

Yeah, every time we play the map we keep finding ways of improving them or finding some annoying errors in it, such as tiny bumps which prevent bot movement. I am positive that Robo will just post any final versions of the maps here, so there is no need to worry, since we are mainly just testing them to make sure they are as good as they can be. :)

The video looks decent. But, there was ANOTHER Lightweight tournament? Wasn't the one we did before good enough?

Don't jump to conclusions, Tibsy. The footage was messed up, so it was unable to be used.

So, I just came back from another recording of the heavyweight fights for Series 1 after I was told by Robo that the footage had messed up.

Let's just put this out here to make sure everyone understands.

1. The bots in this heavyweight recordings were generally upgrades of previous robots and therefore, a lot of second versions are in this.
2. I won the first recording.
3. This is the last restart of ANY future Garry's Wars.

You'll understand my hatred when the video is released.
