That probably won't be too difficult, seeing as how I'll be busy AI'ing bots for the next month and then filming matches. Depending on the criteria for May's BOTM, I may or may not make a bot.
FBS_central is a double edged sword... I can see some bot coming up and mauling SnS 3 while it's trying to get to the center of the arena. It's all but unstoppable when it's spinning, but it looks vulnerable in that stage.
On the other hand, it should be difficult to push OOTA. It's an interesting tradeoff.
if an admin could change the pass to my old account and message me with it, that'd be cool i guess.
Whoops. I just changed the password on your old account, intending to PM you the new one so you could access it, without realizing someone had already done so.
I'll pm the new password to your oh hey its toAst account. Sorry about this.

I was at Mechwars 3 in Minnesota several years ago. Son of Whyachi was there, the original shuffler version that actually worked. It fought some flail VS (don't remember what it was called, something innocent like Snuggles or Sugarpie, but it was the prequel to another flail VS called Thresher). SoW was dominating until one of its hammers broke off and flew right through the arena wall, punching a giant hole in the lexan. It was a miracle that nobody got hurt; that hammer could have easily killed somebody. Somebody like me
Needless to say, SoW fought with its weapon at low speed for the rest of the tournament, and not just because it was unbalanced.
ReActive would be coolest to have in BBEANS because it's a new, original and exciting design. And also could take advantage of the hazards.
The shell spinner would be least cool to have because there's probably going to be a lot of those (but it could be worse, it could have razor tips. 5kg teeth on hex plates makes it at least somewhat original).
The juggler I don't want you to enter because my bot won't be able to beat it
That is Bloodwater, one of FB's bots. Let's see if I can find a picture...
Here's one from when it was called Ye Olde Smitten Castle:
(It was renamed Bloodwater for a team that was going in Rolo's AI pack, along with Pillar of Fire and The Flood. The team was called Supernatural Disaster. And obviously Rolo's AI pack was never finished or you would know all this.)
New problem, though: it's slow enough to be easily flanked by fast bots. So even though it can consistently self-right, it can't consistently beat most popups like I hoped it would. But it's still just as good against HS, so I'm keeping this version since being able to self-right is just a good thing in general.
But try it.If they can do damage with the tip,SPIKE CLUBS STILL SUCK.
Anyways, I wouldn't describe your bots as bad, per se--it's more like you're just not as far along on the learning curve as some of the other builders here. You know what you're doing, you like experimenting, and you have bots that are as good as you need them to be (beating the stock AI). The next step would be to get an AI pack (RFS AI is tougher than stock but still not too hard, Starcore AI offers an immediate high challenge level, or BBEANS AI has a nice mix of bots of different strengths) and try to beat those.
That's a nice setup you have there; very little empty space. But the wedge looks pretty steep--that's a bad thing. I would rotate the wedge Snappers 180 degrees and make the chassis narrower so the extenders are outside the chassis. Then with the extra weight, make the chassis longer so the wedge isn't so steep. Should make it slightly better.
I suspect the wheels collicion is hitting a part of the opponent upside-down,Then you get that.
Translation: The top of the wheels are touching the bottom of the other bot. You try to drive, the wheels get traction on the other bot and your controls go wonky.
