Crap. We should do an international one next.
I'm certainly willing to do a Top 25 International Robot Wars, with Dutch, American and German Robot Wars.
If you do an international one, will it include the bots from the first four US events? If you need help with info on any of those I cant definitely help.
Yes, those ones will be included.
Top 100 UK Robot Wars Robots Of All Time

I've been meaning to remake my entry since the one I made is terrible. Would it be possible to have my current entry switched out should I ever get around to building a better one?

Biden did a hell of a better job than Obama did, that's for sure.
Biden's got something Obama needs - a working pair.

I personally think
Nice bias. 
Also, Tough as Nails better be #1.
There needs to be a reason for it to be on the list, I can't just throw 100 random robots on it.
Well I personally think it's a very innovative design and worthy of the #1 spot because of that.

PT Cruiser represent (yes that's me two-wheeling the same turn as the one in the Datsun picture).  I tuned this thing up last night and swapped out a 6-speed for a 5-speed so I could get a little more torque out the the engine in exchange. The result is a car that.... still sucks when going over 110mph. Still, this car goes like nothing else through the corners, which doesn't make a great deal of sense considering it's two and a half tons and about as top heavy as a semi. Its fun as **** though; nothing beats smoking little rice-rocket civics with a PT Cruiser. And here's my Dino Ferrari. It's light, goes through turns, and doesn't afraid of anything,  Also, I should get around to that Datsun paintscheme sometime. I've just been busy and taking 4 hours of my time to paint penises on a virtual Datsun isn't high on my priority list.

A mod dedicated entirely to IRL style building would be nice.....wait isn't that what DSL2 was supposed to be?
DSL3 will be this
Assuming it ever gets completed.

Action is required!
That action was supposed to be DSL 3. That got real far, eh? What we really need is a new mod - a proper mod not an AI pack. The biggest problem with making a proper mod is dealing with the finnicky GMF format. You have to find a version of 3ds max that nobody cares about, run it on a version of XP that nobody cares about, and even then it doesn't work properly half of the time. I tried it once and never did again - its a royal pain. In regards to interest, I personally am only interested in tournaments at this point. Showcases are really only for posting concepts, but nobody seems to get that. If you post anything that isn't an autistic mess of razors and other crap, your robot gets shot down. Come to think of it, even tournament building has stagnated. Stock is dominated by the same cookie-cutter popups and HSs, and DSL is dominated by cookie-cutter flail applications. Everyone has gotten too well adapted to the game... ...which brings me back to my first point: we need a new mod.

I don't see how this has made the forum better. Putting the Junkyard out in the open just clutters it up if you're just interested in the robot side of things. It's going to be annoying filtering the irrelevant stuff in the unread posts. Seems like its just moving things from one place to another, not really changing much. This forum needs to be robot oriented and have all the other stuff in groups like before. People find this place when they get into Robot Arena and are interested in robots. Could put people off if they see a load of irrelevant sub-forums and childish posts like this crap. I can't be bothered with that stuff and I bet a few others might be feeling the same way.
Posts like that shouldn't be in the chatterbox, and if ACAMS followed all my suggestions the playground should be hide-able.

If you think that's confusing, watch this:
Forza + lag = bad things

It wasn't the apex, it was the 8 foot high rumble strip next to it. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to drive over it going 120 mph. The car has big, grippy tires and a soft suspension prone to body roll. Combine the two and you got a good formula for flipping.

Built a B-class Impala SS today. It was originally intended to be a crasher, being 4000lbs and having 420ish horses. Turns out it was actually competative.... ....and it's a magnet for lulzy moments. HEY I JUST MET YOU...  ...AND THIS IS CRAZY...  ...BUT IM GONNA KEEP BLOCKING YOUR JAPCRAP CIVIC...  ....GO DIE IN A FIRE  BUMP  I'll let the pictures do the talking this time:       His little Suzuki hit me going 120+ mph. My Impala barely flinched; his Suzuki flipped end over end. Score: America: 2 Japan: 0

1. We need more focus on the Robot Combat fanfic. Some of you might not be too interested in it, but it has always been a cool and popular concept, and unfortunately in the last two years or so it has really begun to die off. We think that, to prevent the inevitable death of it, we need:
>An entire board section dedicated to it
>A board for fanfic tournaments
>And a board for showcasing fanfic robot concepts, renders, etc.
With more board focus on it rather than a subforum in the "games board" (I mean really, why did it even get moved there in the first place?) We don't need fanfics, they're a waste of time. The last thing a forum with a shortage of contributing members needs is droves of fanfic'ers who are only interested in playing D&D: Battlebots Edition. I've seen it happen on several forums, including this one (*cough* *cough* story time). 2. Less off topic boards. Do we really need a politics, off topic, playground, and chatterbox? I do not see the point in that many boards when we could just compress it all into a single "Chatterbox" and make it public towards all members instead of this usergroup BS. and why do we need a "Games" board AND a Game dev board? Hardly either of those are populated enough as is, we might as well just make them a single board.
We don't need less, we just need to organize them better. 3. A "Hobbies" board. Instead of having so many off topic boards (Automotive, etc) Couldn't we just get a single board with numerous different subforums for our interests, such as art, automotive, music, sports, etc? It would keep things much less "cluttered" as it is.
You're complaining about it being cluttered? Let's say all these topics are combined into one - just try and find the GTA:IV thread when it has to compete with "Rate one, post one", "Hay guys I'm watching football", and all the other combined content from the other boards (and it would only get worse if we somehow ended up with more members). 4. For the real robotics section, it would be nice to see a "Competitions" board to discuss up and coming IRL tournaments, who is going to be there, etc. That could also help stir up more interest in the real life stuff.
The real robotics section in general needs reorganization. And now I present to you some counter-proposals. Some of these address things sparkey addressed, some of them address other things: 1> Reorganize the general boardsCurrently we have the Chatterbox, Playground, Politics and a separate Off-Topic board. It's a mess. Firstly, we have two boards for general, off topic discussion. Why? There's nothing all that racy in the chatterbox. Secondly, the playground is a mess. Nobody is sure whether its purpose is for forum games or random crap. Here's what needs to be done: - Get rid of off-topic.
- Rename the entire section to "General Discussion" or something of that nature. Junkyard just doesn't sound good.
- Add rules to the playground; turn it into the "Forum Games" section.
- Un-hide everything from the general members.
- Add a new board - "The Crackhouse" (or whatever you think it ought to be named). This board's only purpose is to have ridiculous, off-topic threads like the ones in the playground right now. The board's only rules are not to post anything illegal or anything that compromises the well being of the forum in general.
- Make the proposed "Crackhouse" board hidden to users who aren't in a special usergroup (like the entire junkyard is right now).
2> Amend foul language ruleThis is the internet - we make jokes about 9/11, post pictures of mutilated accident victims, and watch videos where pornstars eat feces. Bad language colloquial language here. This isn't Nick Jr's website - this is (or it ought to be) a website for people mature enough to handle the f-bomb. The only rule there should be regarding foul language is when someone uses it to flame or harass another user. But if you really care if Billy's mom says he can't visit the website because we say words that make Jesus a sad panda, then do the following: - Have a word filter (kinda like the one we have now) that censors curse words. It is on by default, but members can chose to turn it off.
- Make a rule stating that users can't circumvent the censor on purpose (if someone wants to drop the f-bomb, they gotta spell it out as it should be so the filter can censor it)
- Bad language cannot be used to flame or harass another user, as I sated before
- If the last two rules haven't been broken, DON'T WARN SOMEONE FOR USING LANGUAGE (no really, I'm getting sick of this).
*Also, censor racist words and treat them as regular curse words. 3> Reorganize hobby boards.I don't really need to go into detail with this - they're a mess. Do this for massive damage: - Get rid of "Off Topic" (see proposal 1)
- Rename the entire section to "Hobbies"
- Make "Software & Computers" a board. It would be for general computer discussion.
- Combine all the discussions from "Computer & OS" and "Software" into the new "Sofware & Computers" board.
- Keep the "CAD Showcase" sub-board, but rename it to "Digital Showcase"; it will cover any digital works (sorta like it does now).
- Rename "Games" to "Video Games" in order to make its purpose more clear.
- Move the "Fantasy Robot Battles" board to a sub board under the proposed "Forum Games" section.
- Combine all the discussions under "Game Development" and make it a sub-board of "Video Games"
I may add more later, but I have homework I really need to do.
