2p + 5p = 50p - 43p = 7p
What is the most money one can have without having exactly £1 in change?
£1.39. 50p + 4x20p + 5p + 2x2p.
Nope, higher. (Close though)
Ah, so it'll be £1.43, then. Or as much as you want, as long as it's made up of £2 coins.

Looks quite nice, I reckon. Although it could really use a better skin.

While that is doable on some designs, I don't think it'd work here. It'd be far too long, and it's stick out of the bottom of the chassis.

Looking nice. Perhaps could be a bit narrower. For front-hinged flippers, what I did was hack a Skirt Hinge into a burst motor. Works, but I haven't really used it for anything yet.

Looks pretty cool. Casters are useless, though, definitely get rid of them. Reach seems a bit short for my liking too, you might want to try Axle Loading the spinners onto some extenders to get them as close to the servos as possible. Also looks a bit too long and narrow to me, but depends on how good the wedges are.

Evidently so. Although I enjoyed being awesome compared to everyone else. 
Define awesome.
Fourth year UKMT Maths Challenge. 25 questions, start out with 25 points, receive either 5 or 6 points for a correct answer, lose a point for a wrong one. The best of the other classes got around 70 to 80 points, someone else in my class got second place with 83. I scored 111, and got a place in the UK-wide Olympiad. =P

But one of yours is also a rammer. Which makes it cooler and interesting. =P

Looks fantastic. Like a cross between Stealth and Shunt. Only small gripe I have are the Micro Wheels, personally. But it really does look like something from an early Robot Wars series. Great work.

Holy crap, I built something in Stock. But not really. I built this a while ago and sort of forgot about it. I wish I'd remembered it for BroBots, though, would have had a much better chance than Xenophobia.  249.0, DSA. Took an absolute age to get the plow on.

I'm in two minds about it. On the one hand, you didn't want this bot to be entered, and that screws up your plans and such, but on the other, you know what all the competitor bots are now, so there's nothing to stop you entering a bot designed to beat them. I'm not suggesting that's what you'll do, but it sets a bit of a worrying precedent if we allow it. Since we know it's your See No Evil entry, though, I'm willing to go with it.

That's what I've found too.

My confidence has plummeted. But oh well, someone has to come last. Also, PMbomb'd.

I find revising the stuff I don't know makes me forget half the stuff I do know. So I just wing it. And it appears to work, for the most part. =)

I'm reasonably confident myself. But I have a feeling I could do with a bit of luck this time around. Not like last time when I got screwed over by the hazards. Hopefully I can at least get through my group.

Technically, yes, but it'll look better if the teeth were pointing the other way.

I do like the idea of that. Although the weapon's pointing the wrong way, it'll kick the opponent into the ground instead of upwards. And the skirt hinges look a bit flimsy to me. If you axle load the drum out of the way and mount the skirt hinge higher up, so the wedges look similar to Plunderbird 2's bulldozer blade, that would improve it, in my view. I might change to Mini Wheels as well, Micros really aren't very good, even on IRL bots, in my view.

No, don't downgrade the bottom skirts! If you're gotten under or hit wrong with polycarbonate skirts they'll fall off and you'll lose your bot's effectiveness.
If you're using a popup and you're gotten under, it's a fairly safe bet you're going to lose anyway. So the poly skirts should be fine. Do get rid of the middle skirt, though, and perhaps add angled skirts instead of straight ones to better fend off spinners and prevent flanking.
