Just pointing it out, Rejeee. Really this was an attack against S32's comment. Cause I like disproving S32.

And sage: The results for best bots are for THIS YEAR, not the last 2 or three. Virus is underestimated, he deserved it.
OK, really not trying to be vain or conceited or anything of that sort, just stating the facts. There is NO WAY this (one of Virus Bomb's newest bots) :   is a better built bot than this (one of my newest bots):  If someone disagrees (with reason), I will take back everything I said and rethink everything I know about RA2.

*sigh* The one time I focus on candy, you guys look to the design. Oh well, better luck next time.

Welcome back! If you feel the need to catch up on the building, we're all glad to help. If you're just here to say HI, that;s fine too.

I'll find some time by the end of the week for sure. Sorry it's such a slow tourney, but I promised it would get done. No worries.

@ Sage, it kinda ruins the point of a wedge though when there's something blocking it. Using the chassis to stack weight on works easily as well. I never really liked blades anyways, I'd only use them whens there's virtually no other way to invest my weight since I don't see exactly how it protects the extenders.
True, the way he has it it does kinda block the wedge, but if he moved it back a bit it would be fine.

They are much better at protecting your wedges. Blades really don't do much, in all honesty.

#6 for sure. Love the use of the Trovaner chassis glitch and the gold/black theme is awesome. Looks effective as well.

People just have a need to know what to call a robot. I don't know what you're getting at here. You want it to be like this? "YO I made an HS with 24 spikes!" "Yea, well mine has 36 spikes!" "But mine is a chained HS" "What the  is a chained HS? an HS is an HS no matter what! And so mine is better cause it has more spikes!" ^Obviously it's just an example, but really. We are not, as S32 pointed out, changing bot types by looking at which type of wheels someone has. We need sub-categories so that when someone does a tourney prediction or something of that sort, they can say: "It's the only angled VS in the tournament!" instead of "It's the only bot like itself in the tourney. Well, there are more VS in this tourney, but since we don't have subcategories I can't tell you what it is." It's not overly complicated. Most sub-categories apply to a lot of bots. But just like the world needed to do for biology, we need to integrate a regulated taxonomic rank into this forum. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) doesn't apply here.

For some reason those stacks are just a bit too clean for me...
Nice glitching tho. However, those axles are a bitch for driving. Does it havok if you did a side-mounted axle?

ROBO, there HAS to be distinctions between bot types, even minor. You know that if you build a popup and then switch the burst so that it fires up it won't be nearly as effective as if you built it with the idea that it was going to fire up. They will end up looking like completely different bots.
When you think of a VS, you won't think of an angled VS.
When you think of HS, you won't immediately come to the conclusion that it has 1 wheel. You will presume it has 2.
But you're talking as if One-wheeled HS is a category to itself. It's just a sub-category under HS. Same with MBSns is under SnS, and angled VS is under VS. We need to categorize in order to gain a mental picture of a bot, and creating sub-categories to do that is mandatory.
