A steel extender holding the plow on, really? You could probably get away with a poly or a carbon extender.

Nice! Is it invertible? It doesn't look it due to the height of that perm.

You mean how stop it standing on it's end?
I would use an extender attatched sideways to a ME coming out of the back of the bot to stop that happening.
Or jam a skirt hinge in there with a few weapons attatched to it pointing out of the back to stop that happening.

Sounds simple enough, but when I was looking at one tournament rules I saw something about "AI-ing" your bot.

I know what this means, but I have not the slightest clue how to AI, is that vital for a tourney or will the host AI a bot if the sender can't?
Generally, the host is prepared to ai. But it is better if you can yourself.
If you can't, then you can still be helpful by placing and naming smartzones yourself (If needed) and wiring the robot correctly.

Anyway, constructive criticism time!

Reliant:
TMW3r's aren't enough for that much weaponery, I would make the chassis a rectangle and use Perm 132's mounted on ME's instead.
Tite10 is generally severe overkill for most robots, IRL or not. Tite5/Pl10 should suffice.
Widen the wheelbase, it'll help with stability.
The Extra DSL bars on the discs seem uncessesary and use up weight. I would remove them personally.
If you want to keep it invertible, I would instead use a dsl bar instead of a small ant/axle combo.

Beheader:
I would use a bigger set of wheels and remove the spikes to allow for invertiblity. Possibly techno's or something.
That steel extender is just one big target, if you move the me closer to the front of the robot you can shorten it.
From a visual standpoint I like the axes, but if you're looking for combat efficiency, there's a reason you don't see them around much. :P
I would change that castor on that disc to a typhoon spike or a beater bar.

Oh, entering tourneys is easy! You build the robot, and when the tourney host is taking entrants in the signups thread, you pm them your robot. You can upload it to the site using the bot exchange and send them the link, or use the file host if you don't want other people seeing your robot.

No one got the Mitcheck and Webb reference?
Yeah it's fairly nippy, in the test garage at least.

Lookin' good. Scares my only existing CW (prototype from when JB annoucned CCV might be CW o.o) a great deal. I need to build a decent one, and soon. :L

Are those skirts steel or al? If al, I think you could upgrade them to tite and still be in the limit.
Alu 80cm angled. I'll see if I can upgrade them.

Hello, remain indoors and welcome!


Prototype for cruisin' for a bruisin'. Untested as there aren't that many cruiserweights kicking around. And I can't be bothered to trawl the bot exchange for underweight HW's.

Also that should read 595.8kg, my mistake.

#1-Vertigo? I think he's just jumped out of nowhere and made a cool bot. It seems to have his hallmarks.
#2-Kurt Wylde? This is where my vote went. I personally like it.
#3-OH BOY I WONDER WHO MADE THIS
#4-Nice splash. Robot? Not so good.
#5-Very nicely built. NFX? Click? Is that you in that mess of colour and test card background?
#6-GRW. Meh
