@Nary: Probably act as a meat shield for the other non-useless extenders.
Very nice indeed, but uneven irons = do not want.

omgomgomgomgSOMUCHWIN.
My only concern is that the dark floor/background will make the matches somewhat difficult to watch and follow. Otherwise, AWESUM :D

I think it was 4, but you can easily get away with 5 or 6. 7+ is starting to push it, though.

Kiddies, don't make me call your father (by that I mean Joe, btw). I was having fun laughing with (at) Noodle, and ya'll are ruining it. We don't need this thread combusting too.

You, sir, are a cheater, and are using superpowered modded components to have good scores and to try to look cool. But you aren't fooling me. Either stop using cheat components, either get out.
Reason why I'm saying that : Who deals 312000 damage in 30 seconds with a standard very average MW rammer ?
^This. (But dammit Nary, you beat me to the punch). Under normal DSL conditions and building guidelines, it's impossible to manage a 100k+ hit with a rammer. Whether or not you meant to use superpowered components is another matter entirely. I suggest downloading a clean, new version of DSL and starting from there. Then, some of us may be willing to help you.

1WD HS = do not want.
As for everything else, you're doing a great job of making me feel incompetent :3

- IIRC, all BBEANS participants up until BBEANS 6 had to pass a controlled movement test in which Clickbeetle would manouever the robot himself manually through the test garage. Any robots that failed this test would not be permitted in BBEANS in order to limit bots from skimping on critical components (like drive) in favour of massive weaponry. This rule was implemented because building close-to-immobile weapon walls IS EXPLOITING THE LIMITS OF THE AI IN RA2. Because the AI is simply not smart enough to stop attacking when a robot is stuck or immobile before the immobility counter starts, there is nothing to prevent a bot from reckless suicide attacks, thus simultaneously killing itself and keeping its opponent mobile. Because of this rule, 1WD robots have been formally banned from tourneys in the past. There is a precedent in place for "killing off" this one particular design.
- I hear the "but it exists IRL" argument for questionable designs far too often, but let's accept the "existing in real life" argument as the foundation of the realistic rule for a minute. Logically then, designs that do NOT exist IRL should be outlawed because they violate the realistic rule on the grounds of not existing. If we are to follow this path, then we should ban every single type of gut-ripper ever concieved as well as the use of burst wedges, door hinge wedges, razor tips, burst-enhanced weapon motors, chained motors and all building glitches, including bursted/spinning weapons passing through any external or internal component. If we're worried about killing off designs, I really suggest we don't go here.
- For the record, one-wheeled melty brain-controlled flail shell spiners don't exist in real life anyways. So why are we using the "they exist!" argument at all? It doesn't defend them. Actually, if we follow the logic I outlined above, they should be outright banned anyways.
In conclusion, no matter how you look at it, we can't defend the existence of melty brain shell spinners in RA2. They're unrealistic on two levels: 1) the advantage that melty brain on a FSS gives is unrealistic in the sense that there would be no such advantage in real life. Human drivers are smarter, and could simply avoid until the correct time and wait for an opening to attack. Also, 1WD FSS can't be piloted by humans. I know that even today's IRL melty brains can be driven manually, so 1WD FSS are also unrealistic because they don't work! And 2) even if you take the perspective of "because melty brain exists in real life, it does not violate the realistic rule," your logic still does not justify how the controversial one-wheeled flail shell spinner is allowed since they do not exist in real life.
Unless the 1WD robot can be driven in the test garage in an identical or similar manner as it will behave under AI guidance, it should be banned.

Well played, SD.
I think I'll enter, but I'm worried about your modified havok restart rule. I realize it's to prevent bots that are just spinning walls of weaponry, but in my experience, havok explosions can happen fairly randomly to any bot. I'd leave a little room for "fluke" havoks for bots that normally would not go berserk, just to be fair.

Dats cool.
Well, you know my opinions on Mastodon but I am outnumbered on the subject :P
Yeah, you might wanna get your hearing checked or something. Not entirely sure how you can not like Mastodon :/

Mastodon
The Mars Volta
Tool
Baroness
The Sword
The Tragically Hip
Opeth
At The Drive-In
^ I like a whole heckuva lot more music than that, but this thread is for favourite bands, not bands that you like 2 or 3 of their songs (like I suspect some of the lists here are :P).

My old house used to have a huge long hallway, so I could chain 4 or 5 of the superchargers together and launch the cars all the way down. Good times...

Forgot to vote, but I would've voted Dugtrio. One of the best BOTM entries ever IMO.

Just a suggestion:
I know that in pro sports (for example, the National Hockey League) there are seperate categories for people who have had differing contributions to the game other than just playing it. In the NHL Hall of Fame, there are three categories: players (who made their greatest contributions playing the sport), management (people who are famous for greatness in coaching and player management), and builders (those who made significant impacts on the growth of the game, like exceptional broadcasters and ownership).
Similarily, I think we could have two categories in the RA2 Hall of Fame: Tournament and Landmark. The tournament section would be for robots that have achieved exceptional notariety through participation in tournaments (ie: SFTW or Mako), whereas "Landmark" robots represent the history of RA2, be it through innovation (Absolute Chaos, Neglected Waterbug) or just aggravation (EMERGENCY).
Another suggestion would to be to do away with the "honourable mentions." Having them doesn't make any sense whatsoever, since merely having them is placing more bots in the Hall. Either they're famous enough to be there, or they're not. There's no real in-between.
By the way, just so you guys can get a feel for a two-category ballot like I've just suggested, here would be my inaugural ballot:
TOURNAMENT:
1) Spinner from the West
2) Childsplay IV
3) Mako
4) Flaming Whizzer
5) Hazardous Contraption
LANDMARK:
1) EMERGENCY
2) Neglected Waterbug
3) Absolute Chaos
4) Drumblebee
5) Tha Thumperizer

1) Leviathan - Mastodon 2) 10,000 Days - Tool 3) Shogun - Trivium 4) Crack the Skye - Mastodon 5) Age of Winters - The Sword 6) Lateralus - Tool 7) Ghost Reveries - Opeth 8) Blood Mountain - Mastodon 9) Death is This Communion - High on Fire 10) Paranoid - Black Sabbath ^That's my top-10, but I think the only one we can all seem to agree on is Sabbath's Paranoid. Can't really argue with it... Iron Man, War Pigs, Paranoid... it reads more like a greatest hits compilation than an album.

I like Stock because it's what all the cool kids do.
