I finally got my main AW chassis air-tight :) difference between the two is 1kg.  so you can expect some new and improved AW's soon :D

I thought someone was already hosting replica tournaments.

lol Can Opener surprised me when i first tested it, i think there's a future in AW face spinners :P time for a new AW... Unicorn!  yet to test in battle but it looks promising, 2 pinks and plastic armor.

sounds like it's time for the dreaded format :O the thing that killed off my old bots.

just connect it to a 90 degree axle that's pointed down :)

use the side attachment point for the beater bars to connect the to the side of the poly extenders, also you probably don't need 2 of the razor tips.. i suggest getting rid of the 2 at the back and making the middle one flail down to help against get-rippers and pop-ups.

yeah get rid of the razors at the back and get some defense for the big exposed middle bit otherwise rammers will eat it up :)

Final is up and what a great match it is! The video is complete with Splash pics of the 2 finalists at the start. AW tournament Final: Can Opener vs Thorny Devil:
Note: Thorny Devil uses different AI in this match which is why it doesn't move before it starts spinning.
Final Bracket/Finals Spoiler: Can Opener got lucky removing a wheel from Thorny Devil and backing it into a corner/wall for it's 2 round wins and Thorny Devil still displays it's destructive power by getting the only KO of the final. Great Match that is close all the way through.  I guess you can say that Can Opener opened an ant-sized can of whoop-ass on the other AW's. I hope you all enjoyed my first Showcase tournament

nope, no other hazards just the caged off areas.. no one uses hazards in serious tournaments anyway :)
just note that Mad has mentioned that he has already started on the arena, I wouldn't like his efforts to be put to waste.

nothing is easier then standard stock he even called them dumb, but hard to beat with "the rookies". If he downloads starcore AI he will be able to see up to date robot designs and fight them with bots from the bot exchange.

damn, I was hoping there would be a way to make it work while inverted so I wouldn't have to change the AI.

for FBS_2 how do i get the robot to spin the opposite way when inverted? here are my current bindings:
list.append(("AW - Thorny Devil","FBS_2",{'fbs_range':15,'right': "1",'invertible':True,'nose':math.pi,'radius':0.2,'range':99,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':60,'turnspeed':2.5,'weapons':(1)}))

1 battery less, and it doesn't even lift the car. One of those balanced situations.
the Car is tough to lift for any LW, try flipping some crates to test your flipper as other LW's won't weigh as much as that car.

i think you only need 4 ant batteries max for that robot, replace the one at the front with an extender and attack a weapon to it facing out and up about 45 degress (use the angle connector) so that when you flip a robot it will hit that weapon smashbox style, you might also want to make the wedge 20cms longer.
you should check other showcases for tips on what weapons to use :) some are much better then others.
