I just had a few ideas for when it might be appropriate to appeal a match outcome. Only the builder of the bot should be able to do this, not anybody else.
Havok: If a tournament has havok explosion restart rules, and the builder thinks that one was broken that affected his bot, but the match was not restarted, the builder can appeal the result. If it is a reasonable appeal (decided by a tourney host, whether they have a reason, or its in the rules, etc.) Either a mod or the tourney host will post a poll, and people can decide whether or not the match should be restarted. If the people vote to redo the match, it will be redone.
AI: If the builder AIs the bot himself, he cannot appeal an AI Error. If an AI error clearly affects your bot and the outcome of a match, the builder can appeal the match result. If it is a reasonable appeal, a mod or the tourney host will post a poll, and the people will again decide the outcome of a match.
If the tourney host realizes the mistake, he can agree to redo the match without a poll, but if there is a good amount of argument about the point, then a poll can be posted.
Sound Good?

Killing Season is multidirectional. No way for it to spin the wrong way (good for me too).

Vertigo is a newb, 027 is not.
Do not use multiextenders for external extender work. They are very low on HP. I would shy away from all the hex plates. They are useful on spinners, but weighing 4-5 kgs each, they really add up when using a lot. Use DSL Bars for wheelguards and use the side attachment points on extenders for the rammer. You can get 2 spikes for 2, 3, or maybe even 4 or 5 kgs instead of 1 for 4. The wide ramplate is worthless, it has very low HP for whatever reason. Only real useful ones are baseplate mounted Titanium halfsheets and the Titanium Sheets (30kg big ones) for armor. Do not use DSA, it is the worst armor in DSL, and do not use Aluminum, it is very inefficient. Normals are parts on certain weapons that do damage. On weapons like Iron Spikes, razor tips, and beater bars (among other things), they do damage no matter what part hits the other bot. Other weapons like Pole spikes and Pointy tips only do damage at the point.
ps: I like how this showcase is going, keep up the bot building and just listen to our advice. We are pretty much always right.

@S_M How do you think Avalanche felt when he lost his match win in CC3? Turnspeed is something that is easy to iron out in a simple AI code. One that you can do YOURSELF. I totally agree with what SKBT said. A unidirectional SnS (which pretty much all are nowadays) spinning backwards is like a popup driving backwards. It just does not work. Stop BAWWWing about this. This AI error is more clear than Flying Guillotines. I do not know how the AI got messed up along the lines, and I do not care about that.
@Viper: I would rather wait for our match to get this one right rather than see ours and get that one wrong.

For the replica tourney...
1. Would everyone be able to use any replica, or will you make a list and as soon as one is picked, nobody else can take it.
2. Would we have to use ALL the parts from a replica or just use certain ones of them if we want to (Like external armor or that useless Chaos 2 stuff)

IMO the match should be redone. Its meant to kill wedges, and against two wedges, it matters a lot.

At least try to use BSGs more that Mag Snappers. With the weight you get you can use it for many other things. Also, the little points on the front of the chassis waste weight, and send off robots to the sides when they could go up the front of the wedge. Also, when the flipper's motors are up high on the bot, the flippers work better.

Not really. It should be rather clear that the side you want it to spin to is the side NOT totally exposing the motor... >.>

True. She has my empathy as well.

Definitely tell her that a bunch of people she never met on GTM feel sorry for her.

Then I get a Stanley 2 Klone.
The bot you posted is a Stanley 1 klone.

Was the SnS spinning the wrong way?

I just had an idea to help it turn! Wire the drums to turn normally when going forward or backwards. Give it Pusher.py, and when it turns, wire it to have just one drum spin to help it turn faster. :D

Start a showcase before downloading Starcore. If your bots lose to the original AI they wouldn't have a chance against Starcore. Showcases=Better bot building for you.

If he comes back we will all go ":O REIER YOU'RE BACK!!!" And then he'll leave again. And we will be sad.
