Here is a link to the tailer:

If you have any questions feel free to ask! And see you in three weeks for the first video :)

Hey there. I've seen some of your videos.
may I ask why you didn't build 2 more bots and went with the 2015 format? ;)

Fair question  :bigsmile: The cutoff was after episode #20, and in those 20 episodes we had 22 heavyweights. It would've been 24 if I remembered that I put Panic Attack and Mortis and Robot Wars Reborn  :confused:

Hey, nice to see you on the Forums.
Some people might be used to higher standards in terms of replicas here, but they have to keep in mind that this was done on Stock on purpose, as a challenge, and while I do think that you can improve some bots, you're still doing a great job and I can see this get better and better. I've seen some of the forum people in the comments section, so you'll definitely have some fans here already.
Nice that someone's playing stock in the way it was originally intended, and as long as you're enjoying it, there's nothing wrong with it at all.

Was going to mention that, also it's usually best to edit your posts instead of double/triple posting.

Thank you for the detailed reply :) I agree that many bots can be improved. Over time, when there are more cups to prepare for, I'll probably look at every bot again and begin tweaking.

I do hope people don't mind the way we do things, and if they do then that's also ok but hopefully they still stick around to watch!

And yeah I haven't yet figured out how this site works yet but hopefully I'll catch on quickly!
