HW.  followed by SHW, I like having plenty of weight to play around with.  MW is okay, but lower than that and i get tired of 'wanna do this, but don't have enough weight'.  UHW is usually just too dang much.

I'm struggling to find the best bot combination, but I will make sure that I get a team into this.

That's one of the reasons i wanted to do this tourney.  Was curious about strategies involved with the team makeup.
 

Please everyone, join in and makes some teams.  Yoda is a great guy, he will put on a good tournament.

I'll do my best at least.  Thanks for the support :D

Who the heck is Ogre?

Ogre is a real life friend of mine, currently without internet access who wants to join in on the mayhem. Fairly new to the game, got his copy about 2 months ago, if i remember right.

Like Joy Ride is good :P (It's a cool design, but fails on one wheel. Don't know why)

Also it looks quite good, but why Gluttony ? Because it "eats" bots away with "teeth" ?

lol. Yeah, Joy Ride is much better in the looks department than anything else. 
 
As to why Gluttony, the 'eating' thing is part of it, tends to be more grinderish than a normal VS.  Also, if any of the sins should be represented by a SHW, it's Gluttony.  Annnd..."over indulgence or over consumption TO THE POINT OF WASTE".  There are a few things here on the bot that could've easily been made more effeciently, therefore it's wasteful.  I was extremely tempted to make it a very underweight UHW by a 1 or 2 kgs,  but decided against it.  Thinking about it now, i probably should've overloaded the batteries, or used less efficient ones.  meh.

Sick. You should enter that in RIP 2.

I'm thinking about it.  Gonna play around with a few other ideas first though.

Finally got out of my "don't feel like making a splash" mood.  So, time for the next sin. 
 
Gluttony:  the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.
 

 

 
Armor is Titanium 5.  64 teeth on 8 discs.  Was tempted to put Overkill wheels on it.  I've always said anything worth killing is worth overkilling.  But, they didn't work out too well, so back to technos i went.   Also, the weapon motors rotate in opposite directions.  seems to help prevent it from doing somersaults.  Not much throwing power for a VS, but that's okay with me.

When i absolutely can't think of what to build, I choose a theme and build a bot inspired by that.  And by theme i don't mean "a VS" or something like that i mean something like "smurfs".  There ya go.  Build a smurf bot.
 
The idea is to not worry about if it's combat effective or what not.  Just build and see what you can come up with.  In the process, you might accidentally discover the inspiration for your next powerhouse.

love the use of the hexplate.  And Apex predator  looks vicious, regardless.

Can I send you my Nar AI team and can you take the first 3 bots of the team for my team here?

Sure, i'm allowing that for the first edition of this.  If there's ever a sequel, all bots must be made anew.
