2 npc fasts 239.00 may try to make it more heavy
if that's IRL you should get rid of that ghey wedge. Otherwise, it's kinda bleak and not that original, but a solid build nonetheless.

*double post so as to not create an even bigger TL;DR paragraph*
For example, if someone wanted to learn (or figure out, understand, whatever) my style of IRL, I could make a tutorial basically going through the process I'd go through while making an IRL bot. For instance (example within example within example within...)
"you see these teeth they look really nice but they're really weak and not really worth the looks; these teeth look just as nice for a better stat gain"
"these wheels aren't as grippy as hypnos or technos but they look much cooler, are easily invertable and are pretty all-around statwise, this wheel and this wheel are similar in that sense."
"usually if I have extenders like this I'll decorate them with this like that, given I have enough weight left over."
"these kinds of extenders are really useful when it comes to doing this, but these extenders serve the same functions and look better and they have more useful choices"
"the way I do this motor protection for such a drum is I take a weapon slave hex, put a piglet on either side and line the tip with 20cm DSL bars. After that, you can use the connection points on the flat parts of the dsl bars to do whatever you want; put beater bars or some sort of teeth."
and so on.

the only reason the current punishment is tourney bans is because fotepx and teamx were being dumbasses back in 2010/early 11.
i agree with JD about using positive reinforcement to encourage tourney completion. we just need to set a reward as "you will get one/# of X for every Y tourney(s) you host". perhaps use some sort of currency, and have contributions earn virtual "money" that you can redeem to get a variety of things? (user titles, username colors... that sort of thing. maybe trovs action cam can be purchasable under this system as well)
I like this. I like this a lot.
To further on this point, there could be a purchasable thing called "Change User Title" and the person could change their titles, or "Change Username Color" so the person could change their name colors (make sure it's a color that isn't Admin, Roboteer, Glomod, etc), and maybe (for a ton of credit points) a "Change Username"; self explanatory. Some of the other purchasable items could include exclusive arenas, Trov's action cam, Tutorials of whatever made by whoever (Skinning; SD, Efficiency+; Naryar/inf/sage/whoever else, DSL IRL; SD, VB, I don't want to play favorites here) and so on.
Could be fun.
massive block of text
I don't mean you can only get tutorials by buying them, but you can buy advanced tutorials to further your experience, like a book, sort of. Like, you can have your basic everyone-gets-to-see-it skinning tutorial and then you can have your "bro this is a based god's guide" that you can buy. Or, you can have a tutorial that covers everything on that topic (like the beetlebro's guide for stock) then you can have separate tutorials by other people, like Sage or inf and then you can conglomerate methods of building or whatever, or if you wanna learn how to build similarly (NOT CLONING!) to someone who has a particular style, same applies. That was my whole idea for the tutorial buying thing. Basically it would be separate "X: Y edition"'s, similar to textbooks. I hope that isn't too complicated to understand

I think tournament hosts who bail on their tournaments should also be banned from competing in tournaments, be banned from playground and have their showcase(s) locked.
Uhhh, that doesn't address the problem at all. That just pointlessly bans people from using most of the tools they could actually contribute with.
It's banning them from other parts of the forum that could be considered fun for them. They can still make mods and comment on other showcases etc.
That's still pretty cruel and pointless. What will happen then is nobody will host tournaments because the risk is too high.
What about the people who enter the tournaments that build bots for them, it's cruel having a tournament host bail on them. Tournament bailing is usually due to laziness or loss of interest, most tournaments can be completed but people just prefer to play other games etc. so I doubt any reward will work.
But what of the people who initially host a tournament and then can't continue it because of problems outside of GTM/RA2, like Jonzu's hard drive herpaderping or similar reasons as to why ACAMS retired? Do they just become senselessly banned for something they shouldn't be held responsible for?

I might enter this, my trust in Cylander's hosting abilities is starting to fade a little.

i challenge you to a... challenge
dsl, your two bots vs one of mine
rules:
format: 1vs 1 best of three
combat arena hazards off
normal havok rules
you enter your shw as pictured in your most recent screenshots, i enter one of my previously showcased dsl 2.1 legal hw's
saucy will host
except, the blue one is a LW and I'm pretty sure the other one is a HW

Noobish Question incoming at your 9:00!
So is this an IRL tournament or an extremely realistic DSL standard tournament?

I kinda agree with badnik here. Names should be trademarked.
concentrated weaponry bot (aka Longbow clone)
Sarissa - 8 ants - 3mm Steel - the rest you can see - very much built this while drunk - am still manly & good builder
I said it was coming, and here it is.
lol same weight class and name...
 You can give it a different name, Sylandro. Rotary Flame, Insani-copter, Leviathan...

Honestly doesn't looks as badass as your previous works...
Fair enough. Honestly I thought this was one of my better ones. Maybe you might change your mind when I show you this?  Mhmm. Mhmmmm. Yep. The Power is back and its name is Super Power. Steel 5, and I only just realized how much the motor protection compromises the bite of the beater bars. But that's okay; I think I have the weight for bigger beaters and if I don't, I'll just drop the armor a little. That DSL bar motor protection is the same setup as the efficiency version's counterpart, but more DSL bars. Setting up the whole drum support (aka the beater bar connected to the drum and the ds tooth) was a pain but it looks really good IMO.  My 3rd favorite part of this bot. I was trying to figure out how make the rear protection similar to the old version, so I did that with the flippermakers and was like "well sh** this is bare as  , I should cover this in Hypno teeth" and then I remembered the old skin and figured the red would clash with the skin, and then spike strips. It's weirdly a bit wedge-y.  My 2nd favorite part of this bot. It just looks so damn good to me for some reason, idk. Reminds me of some sort of broadsword. Unfortunatly, not invertible, and because of the size of the NPC's and the wheel choices available, it probably will stay like that. But also, because of its ground clearance, I can give the drum more reach when I try new stage in rbr and fix the beaters.  gutsThe_Power.jpg. Not much to say. So that's the IRL version of The Power; Super Power. Best name ever. Edit: Putting it in the same team as Lobotomy; Obsidian Tomb Robotics.
