Really all depends on how many spot are available on the bracket if it is a competition...
You're gonna get some hate if you get a joke bot in and someones legit contender doesn't make the cute because the bracket is filled up.
But if there isn't really a bracket and everything is chill, sounds like a good opportunity for lulz. Play your cards well young jedi.
Or you could try and straddle that thin line of funny/effective like Dr Inferno Jr and Tentomushi did
Got it. I won't enter it in large competitions without making it competitive like Dr. Inferno Jr. Of course, Citadel's Polystyrene is one of the stronger plastics I've seen out there. It's no Polycarb, but in the thickness used for the hull components it's still pretty tough. By the way how's your big robot coming along?
I got the issue with the left motor figured out. The brake disengaged after a minute or two of just free-wheeling the motor.

You kinda already know what I look like from my Builder's application, but what if I lied and said that wasn't me?
As for everyone else...
GoldenFox: Dr. Stewart, though younger.
Jonzu: That pixel art hits the nail on the head.
Badnik: For some reason I keep thinking Seto Kaiba with green hair and a hat like N Harmonia's.
Thy: Some bad*** dude in leather.
Suede: IDK. My mind draws a blank that's unusual even for when I don't have a clue.
Joe: "Why so serious?"
Naryar: a typical fake superhero wannabe, but more epic.
Enigma: The embodiment of a puzzle wrapped in an enigma sealed inside a pandora's box locked with a riddle.
Mr. Awesomesauce: Your avatar really influenced me, but I always get a picture of muscled-out Buu.

I was thinking... As a joke, do you think I should take one of these:  And convert it into a US Antweight? Ever since I started serious work on Battlewagon, I've had an urge to enter a local competition with an actual Games Workshop model of an Ork Battlewagon. Of course, cue the

Does this mean you'll be sending your LDAI team soon too?
I still have three bots left for that, minus replicas.

Looks like things are heating up by the minute here.

Can we get a pic of your AW too?
I'll try to get one... Though I'm in the process of building a new one due to the first one's poor motor choices.

I ran into a little snag. The gearboxes have brakes installed, and the left side's locked up.  Now we have to pull the motor and get the gearbox fixed...

Randomly fell on Moltres on mount silver. Damaged him with one crit from Gengar's Shadow Ball, which put it to 5% health, then I put him to sleep after a Fire Blast which eat quite a bit into my Gengar's health.
Ultra Ball. Doesn't work. Twice. Wakes up. KOs my gengar with fire blast again. Swap pokémon, use revive, get gengar again, sleep him again with Hypnosis, then cue the catch with an hyper ball.
How do you fail with the Ultra ball? Half of the pokemon I snagged in Colosseum were snagged with Ultra balls.
Catch rate. It is entirely possible to fail with 99 Ultra Balls, and then successfully catch it using a Poke ball. The only one that bypasses the catch rate is the Master Ball (excluding gen I, where it had something like a 1 in 256 chance of failing).
It's also possible to catch something like that with a single Pokeball if you lower the target's stats, reduce them to one HP with false swipe or a FEAR Pokemon, and inflict sleep, freeze or paralysis. Then there's the multiple myths on how to catch Pokemon instantly, and even though I know it's not programmed in pressing down and B at the same time and holding them always seems to work for me.

That's a nice robot. Sorry I won't be able to join you, my assistant went A.W.O.L. and my AW robot was in pieces at the time. Good luck at Clash of the Bots.

oh boy i cant wait for my bot to herpaderp around the arena for 3 minutes each round without *technically* losing
noflippersnoflippersnoflippersnoflippersnoflippersnoflippersnoflippersnoflippers
I cant wait for my bot to hump the arena and get destroyed in the first 3 seconds
I can't wait for my robot to loose a hammer and mauler around the arena without doing damage to anyone.
lemeguess, your bot is a bar HS?
It's a Tribar HS that emphasizes speed and weapon power.

I just added a second battery wired in series. It's fast, and I'm going to need to practice driving it.

I may end up modding the game for 1920x1080 in the CFG.

You know what you do with a wheelchair you find at Habitat for Humanity for less than $100 USD? You start building a robot out of it. That's what I'm doing  I've even got a name for it - Battlewagon. I'll eventually add a weapon (a large spinning drum), armour, and all required safety equipment once I get the chance, but for now I just need to get it moving at its top speed. I'm not using the included Interstate 70 Amp Hour batteries, they're too heavy and would only add weight to the robot. Instead I'm using a pair of Werker WKA12-35C SLA AGMs (only one's pictured, I still need to get the other one). Control system is a Spektrum DX6i DSMX Transmitter and an AR6210 DSM Aircraft receiver. The motor controller is a brand new 2012 Vantec RDFR-36. Motors are the Pride Mobility units that came with the wheelchair. The weapon is planned to initially be powered by a Castle Mamba XL2 before eventually upgrading to a PERM PMG-132 once the money is available. Offtopic: You can also see my Team Losi 22 in the picture.

Hypnodisc did great right until it was knocked out. There wasn't a moment in its fights where I wasn't at the edge of my seat.

Oh please. My bot's likely the tournament . It's an IRL-ish machine, built before I knew what I was doing and upgraded with the community's help, and it will probably have to go up against metagame level robots. At least it looks cool...
