I think Shove also fits.

Actually, most of them do (only Sir Killalot and Mr. Psycho don't - they'd qualify for the proposed experimental class from the ill-fated Battlebots 6.0), but again they're all a bit small for the Super-Heavyweight class, weighing in at a little above 220 Lbs. They would have trouble against bots like Diesector, Toro, New Cruelty, Atomic Wedgie, etc.

Are any of those robots that you mentioned even active anymore? Even if they are, they would have had to been updated quite a bit to still be competitive in this day and age.

340's are dead. The class hasn't been run since 09' and even then only two robots competed in it.

Inertia Labs completely left the sport years ago but still makes an 1lb kit.
Cruelty was gutted and sold (builder still competes)
Wedgie's builder now competes in 4x4 racing.
and Disector's builder still occasionally competes when tv or big money is involved.

Sorry for kloning :(
I see no cloning...

You are really bad at taking cool pictures of your bots. While yes a top down is nice to see the insides, I can barely tell what else the bot is.

The best angles are a little above ground level and about 20-45 degrees off the front of the bot. Preferably so we can see both the front and the sides and get an idea of what the bot looks like. It's also pretty cool when you pose bots in an arena like I do. Just take a little more time on the presentation of the bots and your showcase will get more positive comments. Trust me.

My opinion on boxrushing still stands...

But the way the start points are layed out, robots pretty much have to turn 45* to face an opposing robot, it would pretty much be the same in the blade arena.

But giant blade of awesome...

The greatest sport in the world would be having murderers, rapists, child molesters, and other bad people beat the living **** out of each other in a gladiator arena until only one's left standing, with some brutal death metal playing over it.
[foul language removed by gropaga]YEAH! IT'S GREAT SPORT! GREAT JUSTICE!

You really don't understand the Internet...

I'm all for the blade arena. (So I can enter a big VS and not have to worry about getting boxrushed oota)

Yeah, F1 would be so much better if all the tracks were dirt, but still circuits and flat, then you would see some interesting designs.

I remember one of the commentators said he had been asked how Formula 1 could be improved, and he replied "Just add water". I think Bernie was suggesting adding sprinklers to some tracks to have artificial wet races. And F1 tracks aren't necessarily flat, that would be boring. There's plenty of elevation changes on tracks such as Monaco and the new Circuit of the Americas in Austin.
I meant as in jumps, as I feel that that would ruin the whole thing. I also think that there should be a spending cap, with the limits in reverse-previous-reason-result-order. So the HRTs and Caterhams and Virgins could spend as much is they want, and McLaren, Red Bulls and possibly the Ferraris have a very low amount to spend.

Also, remove RBR completely, they're so boring. And Alonso, because I hate him.

When I say dirt track, I am referring to a dirt oval. No jumps involved, unless they overshoot the turn and jump over the banking.

You into outlaw racing?
