I wouldn't mind a good battle!...but stock parts only, please. And don't rage about my mod intolerance, I just feel that mods have a tenancy to unbalance games.

Our DSL 2.1 mod tends to balance the game more than anything... I think you should at least give it a shot.

Sorry. Oklahoma's a long ways away from San Diego. :P

I'm within 1,000 miles of there, if that helps.

San Diego?!!?!? That means you were close enough to attend actual Battlebot Shows back in the day. Please tell us you went. :3

If the game isn't superlaggy, I think it will be fine.

I wasn't exactly rich (or even a teenager) at the time...

That is where you will be very disappointed. :/

It's the main reason we do AI tournaments now.

Anyone else find it funny that the responses to the question "Anyone near San Diego?" is everyone explaining that they are not near San Diego?

Its kinda the opposite of what was asked :P

The trouble with online battles is that there can be quite a bit of inconsistency between hosts. For example, there's a video somewhere of Scrap Daddy, Ounce, and I forget the third participant, and Scrap Daddy's machine was spinning like a top. The video showed his bot edging along the arena wall, but Scrap believed he was moving towards Ounce's bot, which was in the middle of the arena. So you and your opponent could end up with completely different outcomes.

Even more the reason for you to stick around the forums and submit bots for tourneys instead. Bonus points if you learn how to AI the bot. Aw c'mon, its fun really! Trust me!
