No IRL? What?
You read my mind. Should've been IRL. And, multibots? Allowed?

No irl Darn, I like IRL. Will probably join regardless.

Gave the texture a few ingame scratches, and deleted the components that got taken off. I then crashed them into the garage wall several times where they took the most damage to replicate the effects.
Also, no problem. I built it way in advance for the event, and updated it too late. It was pretty much unfinished in other words. Well, that and coupled with the speed Whirlwind spun at (what motor did you use) were the reasons I lost. Wow. Whirlwind uses a dual perm.

Sorry 'bout Diced.
BTW, how did you replicate the broken bots?

Much better.
Yes, that is IRL.
It has 4 judge burst motors, more than enough to flip opponents out of the arena. It functions like Wheely Big Cheese, being able to flip despite being upside down (For some reason it flips better upside down). Was worried the slots were a bit sucky to pass off as IRL

There's a couple of things you HAVE to establish on your tournament's rules:
-IRL or not
-DSL or Stock
-Number of Entries or Deadline
-Which glitches are allowed
-Which cheatbot parts are allowed
-Which arena will be used
-Havok'ing, definitely going to have to let us know what happens should a bot havok and change the outcome of the match
And that's kind of it. And also, you might wanna learn how to AI, it's actually easy. Just use ianh's guide.
But other than those issues, I'm interested.

Updated Storm. Removed side armor, gave it better weapons. Now it looks like Mako.  And also, is this IRL?

Only use the middle attachment point if you are going to use skirt hinges if you want better wedges.
What's the best extender to use for wedges? DSL axles? Regular hinges?

The weapons can't be any heavier or the disc won't have enough speed.
And also regarding wedges, I need to make better wedges. Tips?
Then you quite obviously need to invest more kg's in a better motor.
It has far too much armor for a VS in general, anyways, and your armor is unefficient. Best armor you can get in DSL2 is heavy plows and small metallic skirts.
K. Wedges? Crash can get under Backyard Shredder and that's it, it cant get under Second Sentinal and Shebeast.

Improving extender work in simple in theory, and quite simple in practice with some experience. Here's the theory
-Make it so you use less weight on your extender work (so you can use it on more helpful stuff, like weapons)
-This WITHOUT sacrificing extender HP, unless the extender is in a position where HP doesn't matter
Now apply this to your bot. I will give you one example : you can attach your armor or other extenders without the angled connectors by just using a round extender's attachment points. You will save 20kg on your bot by doing so, and remove four small weakpoints.
For the rest of what you need to make your extender work better... well, figure it out yourself. Else you will not grow as a builder.

MW Predictions:
Red Dragon vs Black Banshee: I think Red Dragon has the advantage to hit quite low into BBs unprotected front. it depends wheter or not Banshee can deal damage. I`m going with the Dragon in this one
Ryu vs Chief Kamachi: Wedgewar. I can see Ruy loosing this. It would be a payback from Scrap in the LW round. I`m rooting for Ryu of course
Billet 3 vs Robot: I think Billet 3 has the better weapon. Robot will have a hard time hitting it`s opponent. Billet 3 for me.
Terror Tony (Grave Digger) vs 10 Females to each Man: TFTEM will rip the supporting cage of TT (or GD) appart and then it`ll go for the chassis. TFTEM will win
Crocodile Rock vs Hurricane: I really like CR. I think it can take off the extender wich will make it hard for Hurricane to spinn it`s weapon up to good speed. CR going through
Infernadecity vs Sir Lanceafrog: the spinner/hammer combo will show its potential in this fight again. except it beeing flipped I go for DSCs bot
Algos vs Angered Mystery 3: Mike will win. Again.
Toxic Wound vs Shae: as much as I like Shae this will be the end of the line for it.
Not so sure about that prediction, the disc might be able to fend off CR. But, I see no way for Hurricane to evade it's much faster opponent, CR is winning, but I'm hoping for an upset. And also, Whirlwind won

but actually mystic's advice is good.
also, sloppy extender work. Make it better and cleaner.
You also can remove half the batteries on your VS.
Alrighty, DSL bars it is. And regarding extender work, exactly how can I improve?

Wide ramplates sucks, replace them with DSL bars
Imma just wait for the older forum members' opinion before I make any changes.

Gave Hurricane an update to celebrate my first ever tournament win.   And, built a new bot.   Was a bit worried that the motors weren't powerful enough. My fears were for naught after seeing Crash chuck Big Metal Friend right out of the arena in 20 seconds.   The same applied to Velociraptor.   Probably going to enter Storm into BB7 and Crash Landing into any tournament that doesn't have an enclosed arena.

Regarding Playzooki:
Is that regarding the weapon, or how the weapon is constructed?
He needs a support cage. I doubt a simple extender can hold a bulky motor like that IRL

'grats Avalanche. Conraaa vs. Plazmic Inferno is up.
The staredown was....interesting.
Bwahahahahahaha

Well, looks like one of the Battlebugs will actually get to face off against one of Scrap's creations.
Liking my chances.

So, Avalanche won. To be honest didn't even know what his bot was supposed do until just now
