I didn't really wish for anything this year, so I got a mixture of some stuff I would find useful and some not so much, but at least I got something:

A single use camera and a rubber lizard from a school gift exchange (It's kind of a long story actually...).
A random T-shirt (It turns out it's too small because my cousins can hardly guess my shirt size >.<.  Yeah... just throwing this one out there).
A $50 gift card to GameStop.
A sketchbook and set of colored pencils.
2 gift certificates to Amazon.com and Ebay.

Well...

Won my first (unofficial) challenge match (Epic Showdown).
Became a major contributor to NAR AI.
Emerged as a top builder in DSL and a fairly good builder in stock (but despite this have received little or no recognition for my work, or so it seems to me...).
Gave helpful advice to new members.
Built arguably the wedgiest stock bot in existence.
Tried and failed at RPing in the Story Time thread.
Was chosen for the Backlash AI Team.
and biggest of all, winning both a singles and tag team tournament in both Stock and DSL.

There's probably more that I've done this year, and I'll add them if I find any.

5mm titanium, 6 ants, 4 NPC fasts, and 2 halfsheets on the bottom.

Somewhat inspired by Harcsa's Greenpierce, this rammer handles gutrippers very well with its top and bottom armor and high-HP weaponry.  Can withstand attacks from HNM4 and even managed to KO Time Bomb once.  I used Vlads for the front because I wanted to be original, and add more weapons; don't worry, it's still fast and drives well.

<3 The Other Stig and Big Stig.

I remember now that I was going to post a HW hammer rammer.  Mine's nowhere near as cool as yours, but it still has more weapons.   :p

I've definately seen "inside the clock" before, is it one of click's bots perhaps?

Good to see you back 40757!   :bigsmile:

The bot is awesome; love the use of blades as rear stabilizers.

But I'm pretty sure someone did the mashup thing. Jonzu, I think. But I'm too lazy to snoop through his showcase. XD
Pretty sure it was Jonzu, but I did something like this for my 36HS Hypernova, back when I was still starting out in stock.  I can't remember who was first though.

Better than my 1HKO against AC.  :D

Yes it could be more airtight, and maybe moving the ramplates farther toward the sides would give you more protection against HSs.

This reminds me: I have to get working on my entry!

Thoughts:

Team 1:

The flipper isn't very powerful, but it could still win in the Tabletop Challenge if its wedges are good enough.  The hammer looks decent, but the trappers and hammer extenders look vulnerable.  I haven't had a lot of experience with Potter's Wheels, but if they're durable, then the HS should outlast its opponents as long as they don't reach its chassis.  Yakuza's weapons are weak, but if the wedge is good enough then it shouldn't matter.  Wheels are Tasty 4 looks okay.  Mr. Bigglesworth is, in my opinion, the best bot on this team.

Team 2:

War Horse has 2 Betas, so it should be powerful.  The Devil's Vice seems like it has few weapons, but the wedge looks so good that it wouldn't matter.  Countdown to Extinction is basically Ice Blast, but worse; it won't do well.  Thee Rammer's weapons are fragile, but at least it's fast....  Blood Orange 3 is pretty good, it's a shame it lost already.  Drumline's Revenge doesn't look as good as Mr. Bigglesworth, but at least it has a trapper.

Team 3:

Another 2-Beta burst flipper, but I like this a little better than War Horse.  Ingor looks awesome, but can it self-right?  Skeksis is basically a better Volcanic Upbringing, but I still don't trust its stablility.  The Veteran is the best out of the 4 rammers IMO.  Green Machine 3: A cubed FlipJack 4-clone, but still very good and could beat all the other LWs if it had the chance.  I've never been a fan of punter-VSs because they generally have weaker weapons, but given the right arena, Serious Business will rape regardless of weaponry.

Team 4:

Admittedly, I didn't want to build a generic 2-Beta flipper, but Mercurius still managed to turn out as something different but still good.  A Nightmare to Remember looks pretty good, but I worry about the plow placement.  SnSnSnSnS 4 is very good.  The Perfect Song could have been better, but Somebody insisted to use razors.  Caped Crusader really should have used a lighter bar and more weapons on the end, but weapon overload isn't DSC's style.  Increased Betting Limits is probably our best bot overall: Nice work team captain. You know I really should have made these criticisms while sign-ups were still open :P.

...We lost already?
