I was really hoping it wasn't THAT Schumacher. Goddamnit.

K fine.
1. Too much empty space is bad because you could easily fit everything you currently have into a way smaller chassis.
2. Piglet drives are bad because these are geared for spinning weapons, not wheels.
3. Inward facing drive motors hinder the turning circle of the robot slightly due to the lower distance between the two wheels.

There isn't supposed to be stock parts in DSL 2.1 though. They're supposed to be hidden.
Also, I'm fairly sure the Cold Fusion reactors were supposed to weigh 100kg each.

I'm not even going to criticise the other robots, but Updraft? Let me just list 5 of the problems there are:
1. Way too much empty space.
2. Piglet drives.
3. Inward facing drive motors.
4. There is 25kg left for maxing out the bot. Use it.
5. You don't need CO2 for Burst Motors.
Unless the other members here are going to reveal your other mistakes, fix these first. You're gonna need a hell out of a lot of work to become a better builder.

Looked good at the beginning but then... oh dear.

Simple thing to get the ball rolling again: Why not simply make the next BOTM a free-for-all type thing? No rules, just submit whatever the hell you want. Failing that, why not an extended deadline, or other incentives such as a badge system similar to RA2's kill points, which indicates how many BOTMs you've participated in.

My bot should be sent.
EDIT: Oh wait I'm an idiot. It uses a modified bot height. Isn't much of a problem for me as I can just enter an older version.

Holy crap I won. But damnit, I'm up against Momus, the robot that just tore Chief Kamachi to shreds. I think I'll go with the rammer variant this time around, but this isn't for certain.
Very useless yet interesting to me because I'm weird like that trivia:
Your next opponent, is the robot that beat your last year's opponent that beat you.
I was wondering for a second what other robot skipped weightclasses apart from Momus, but then I realised I fought Chief Kamachi last season.

Also, The most time I've spent on ANY robot is an hour (spread out over the course of a day), and that's an outlier. Most of my robots that I "spent hours carefully positioning components to make it more efficient" took a whole 10-30 minutes out of my day.
Sure, Lightning Hands McGee.

If it isn't too late, I would like my setup to be the drum. It just didn't work out in RNP.

You very almost beat me if I hadn't noticed the points derp.

Thanks man. I believe I owe an apology to KOS, as he would've continued, but a competition's a competition.

I wish for SKBT to explain his points. I knocked off a wheel, pushed him around for most of the match and got him almost dead in the arena. An 8-7 I can understand, but not a 12-3. The only thing I can think of is that he mistook the bots. There's no way in hell that's right.

Complaining about this will only give AS more "firepower" in his fight against IRL. Look in his showcase, the bot that defeated yours was a point of ridicule for him.
That didn't come across as well as I'd hoped.
QFT. As soon as he lost BB6 0-4 with his NFM inspired bots that were actually pretty decent, that's the point he just dismissed the entire building style as crap. When me and a couple others called him out on Chocolate, he built "a more realistic version", which was simply a DSL-S bot. The only problem is, he's been around too long to actually accept the criticism, and just plays it for laughs. No point complaining, just let him dig a bigger and bigger hole. AS is the only reason I'm even building Standard bots now, it's not my cup of tea but to become one of the "pro builders", you have to. Otherwise, you're called autistic and whatnot, which is kind of weird being as we're not the ones spending hours carefully positioning components to make it more efficient. Spoiler: Things I sort of care about. LW: Nice.
MW: That was pretty awesome physics there.
HW: I don't like this delay. Must be a JD.
SHW: That's the second time I lost due to the spikes.

same with Dr. Inferno Jr. Didn't even get a Minibot...
Atleast it had an RC toy though.

Well there was a Minibot of Wild Thing, which is more than can be said for robots such as BattleBots Hazard, a robot that won its own division THREE TIMES and didn't get a SINGLE piece of merchandise made after it.
