Hazardous and enfiletc. are very impressive bots, one of them for the win
brausO seems like a good bot, whether its method of winning was intended or not, i'd love to see it face something with a flipper though. 44

wait, if no-one knows nothing? then surly everyone knows something, and its therefore an accurate description of the word we live in, a pretty obvious observation and analysis of the world, but a valid one non the less.

its not a wedge, its mainly to stop the damn thing rolling with the sheer acceleration of the thing, i shall start working on the invertible thing, it shouldn't be too difficult me thinks
Edit* Done! and a new bot i threw together just for the fun of it

New bot time!
ok, so i got the idea for this bot whilst watching one of my old (bad) drummers running upside down and being far more affective that way, and i got the idea that maybe you can have a bot that is more effective when wedged, and then came the along this contraption Fancy A Stroll? its an 799.5kg tank type bot, ita probably been done before, but i've decided to patent the design and call it a "Stroppy Tank" due to the fact its most effective when its jumping around on top of things (also the name of FACs prototype, the traction on this thing is crazy, the drums are servo driven from thos giant motors (i forget the name, but they're clearly visable), the less vigilant amongst you may be thinking "But barbie, where does the traction come from, doesn't it just bounce around, it has no wheels, instruct us oh mighty one?" see those grey stripes on the drums, there actually tires, also attached to the motor, i selected the wheel that is slightly bigger than the drum so it gets traction but all but conceals the wheels. Its not really great in battle, it never KO's bots, but if it can last out a battle it tends to win on points. Comments!

if the change is radical then i agree, but if things are minor, like i've been fidding with my wedge layout for instance, I don't think that would be a problem (although i've come up with nothing, its still pretty uneffective) but if i had added a wedge to a wedgeless bot, per se, I would agree that this kind of change should be dissalowed
back to the competitors though, wow, impressive selection, i don't think there is one robot i can look at and say "that has no chance of winning anything" im especially impressed with the rookies, good show! my picks are robosharks bot, Hazardous Contraption (reminds me of Vains MW from the first BBEANS (which is based on the starcore bot, i forgot its name (waterbeetle or something))) and red tide looks pretty good, the axe bot looks good, but i fear the plastic extenders will be its undoing, psycolone's bot looks good too, but I question the effectivness of the weaponry, but then again its longivity should be pretty awesome. Naturally though i think silver will be one to look out for again, we saw many a bot flying away in BBEANS2, and the design looks like it has the same effect. 50

Hey everybody! i've been back into building a bit recently, first bots i've built in a long time, anywho, thought i'd show them off to you! In reply to Naryars question, sadly the pack was all but lost in a harddrive crash, however, i did send goose a very up to date version a couple months before i lost it, i'm hoping he still has it somewhere! otherwise i'm in for alot of work again!
Comments pweeze First up is Nurse, she may not look like that much but she works awesomely, its extremely hard to take her parts of as they all have huge HP values, and the chassis is so far away from the front of the bot which is always helpful, she runs of 2 stacked bats and all attachments (excluding plow) are on her "hat" Class-HW ![]() Then theres another new bot, a rammer, it hits pretty hard, and can knock most bots out with two or three hits (yet to get a 1HKO yet) the only thing that im not so happy with is that it isn't invertible, good thing is its not that prone to flipping over, its pretty stable considering its immense speed (i used the new uber fast things from DSL2.1) Class-HW ![]() Finally, heres a bot i rejected for BBEANS, its pretty decent and can beat the majority of bots through sheer flail, but its pushed around too easily for my liking. Class-MW ![]() Thanks! 54
