I love the internal simplicity of the bot.

I am going to assume this bot never faced a good Sheck Spinner or SnS, because that steep and narrow wedge would have fared poorly.

It does look quite unbalanced to me. But hopefully it should all work.
Ummm.. I will be shocked if that spins smoothly.
Well... I have tested, and it spins smoothly.

lawl it looks like the bot that some random n00b would build, not GTM's old master :P
Heheheh... watch it win!

Looks odd. How fast does it go?
Much faster than I expected given the motor/wheel combo.

This was NOTHING to do with my showcase. The "preventing free choice" started as SOON as item stats were released, and some were called outright "BETTER". You can't use things like the grog axe any more, which while oversized, is fun to use. What about the axe head? The disk? The goddamn samurai sword? Nowhere to be seen. Spinnerbots have plagued this game ever since they were discovered to be good, everything is some kind of copycat of another popular bot of a usually OVERUSED tple.
Yes, item stats were released. They clearly showed some components were better than others. This meant that when somebody showcases a bot that they want to be combat effective, people are going to recommend they use efficient components. If they clearly say that the intent of the bot is to look cool, then people won't criticize their use of inefficient components but instead make comments on its looks. Also, the reason many of those components aren't used AS MUCH (they are definitely still in use) is because RA2 is a game of robot combat, and people who insist on using bots with inefficient components are going to be beaten in tournaments. Thus through a form of natural selection, the most ineffective bots are weeded out. As a community increases its knowledge regarding a game that focuses on combat, you can bet there will be certain strategies that prove to be the most successful, hence the success of spinners and popups. However, the aforementioned bot types are far from being without innovation, for example the one-wheeled HS was recently brought into the arena and has proven to be a worthy threat. Running a showcase is like trying to operate an zoo full of lions in no cages on a unicycle - you can do whatever the  you can, and people will STILL tell you you're doing it wrong, and then when you set out to actually accept criticism like you tried from the beginning, people STILL tell you you're doing it wrong. I've ALWAYS called my robots bad, and I have trouble tolerating flamers. You're treating a self-confessed noob that only started building bots recently like he's a veteran. He isn't. Why should I even bother around here any more? It's clear that when someone new comes along, he's going to be attacked no matter HOW hard he tries. I should be treated like I'm NEW, not like I joined in 2007, because then people set their expectations WAY too high.
You claim that people's bots in showcases are always criticized no matter what. Just take a look at the showcases of Pwn, Sage, Scrap, Inf, Geice, NC, NFX, Click, R0B0, Naryar, 123STW, Urjak (:P), etc. All of those builders have achieved a high degree of bot building, and thus there bots are rarely criticized. Instead, some might point out one or two things that could be tweaked, and probably praise the bots. Those who are not at a high level of bot building won't have their bots insulted and flamed as long as they are showing a willingness to improve, whether it be in terms of aesthetics or combat effectiveness. I have said this several times, and will say it again: If someone builds bad bots (either ugly when they were intended to look cool or weak when they were intended to be good fighters) and shows no willingness to improve, then they are simply wasting space on this forum because: A. The bot builder is currently building bots that no one will enjoy looking at, and B. The bot builder is unwilling to improve so anything another member posts in term of help will be ignored. The combination of those two things makes that particular members showcase a waste of time. As can be seen in many showcases, as long a member is willing to improve, they will not be insulted or harshly criticized.

My mind can't work out if it's even close to being rotationally symmetrical though.
Well, the weapons are rotationally symmetric (or very close), it is just that the center of said symmetry is not the center of the bot. By that I mean the weapon heads are close to the wheels on some sides and farther on others. Not quite sure if that really helped simplify it. :P

Why such a weird chassis/wheel/motor choice?
This is for Not Quite Replica Wars, I can only use components found on the DSL replica Frenzy.

Well, everyone else is posting their NQRW bots, so here's mine:   The bot, named Calm-Assertive, is based off of Frenzy and uses those cheaty hammers to deal large amounts of damage with 10,000 HP. Any comments would be appreciated. :D

That fight against Pop quiz looked like it could have been nasty had he remained stable.

Hey S_M, I have a question about your three component rule. I noticed your entry (the minion one) uses four of the same wheel type. Isn't this against the rules, or is it only parts that are unique to the replica that must follow the rule?
The rule is up to 3x the quantity of that component used on the replica
Ohhh... that changes things.

And I will defend every one of those posts to the death because I know exactly who's showcase you pulled that from. And it was only because I was disrespected by some blithering moron with no sense of logic that I said those things because they were completely applicable. Feel free to defend Wakkydude,or avalanche, or SotG, or Garvin or anyone of those morons. But those are the people I have problems with and I WILL be disrespectful to if I feel necessary because they have no sense of respect...or anything sensible really.
We could dissect and argue about those posts, but I do not want to do this in Gazea's showcase so I will cease this discussion. I do believe my point stands and those above quotes were evidence, however everyone is free to decide for themselves whether those comments were warranted. I hope this has not made me an enemy of yours, for I do respect the advice you give and your bot building ability.
