I rarely build with Stock, but since nearly everyone show their tournament entries, I might as well so you can have a lovely, closer look.
All Round Bot Builder entries:
Antweight: Abandoned

The robot was found underneath a snooker table, wrapped up in blankets within a box. Totally not stealing Lister's life story. Luckily, the person that found the robot was a roboteer - coincidence! It was such a mess, and the person had no money, he decided to find random bits of metal in a junkyard and put it back together. Thus, Abandoned was [re]born!
Beetleweight: Mininfamy

Originally a rammer, before being turned into a poker. Despite its size, it's still not the smallest of the Infamy robots. The right wheel, during a match (or in training room) does match the other side of the wheel (silver plate poking out).
Lightweight: Crimson Destiny

Turned out to be an accident, and the start of my ARBB entries. I exported a DSL chassis (which may look familiar when the MPire 2 airs), and imported it into Stock to see what I could do. Tried to copy a bot I previously made on DSL, and changed it up a bit. Luckily, I was able to make this a Lightweight.
Middleweight: Infamy M

The original Infamy M was Infamy S of DSL, with it being a Lightweight and having Pussycat's blade. Again, I imported the chassis and tried to make a slight copy, but gave it steroids and the flywheel increased.
Heavyweight: Orphan

The most trouble I've had when making a robot to make it a Heavyweight, for some reason. I wanted to stick with one chassis (same as above): No changes, and no replacements. Even with Steel, it was still a Middleweight, so I added a flag type decoration, and for some reason, I fell in love with it. It moves - obviously, and I've already done a few other flag type decorations on a couple of other robots.
