I'm needing to keep my girlfriend company tonight.
Ohhh yeah. Sorry about that. If your entering Revolutions Per Minute, I'm toatly screwed
It's okay, don't worry about it. Revolutions Per Minute's going into Blades Of Fury anyway, so he should get a good run there. Besides, even if I don't get in, this tournament's still going to be fun to watch. =)

Have you downloaded AutoHotKey as well? There's a link in the first post if you don't have it.

How did you manage to attach a motor directly to another motor? I thought you needed an extender as an intermediary component.

My laptop has never BSOD'd on me in all its 3.667 years of service. =D Needed a hard drive replacement, though.

I understand. =) If that's the case, I might just fish Revolutions Per Minute from the Bot Exchange if it's legal.
OK. So that's your entry?
I hope so. It's a ring spinner (disc intersects wheels/chassis), and it doesn't have a proper sponsor decal, so they would be my only concerns.

Would I be able to reserve a spot until tomorrow? I'm needing to keep my girlfriend company tonight, but I should be able to sort something out either tomorrow afternoon, and I don't really want to miss out on this.

I think the shell spinner is the most IRL Realistic of them, personally. I wouldn't call the razors cheap, I've got 10 beater bars and 2 ripping teeth on my Ring Spinner, which is invertible anyway. The flame wammer is let down by its metal hinge wedges, in my view, and the VS would be heckaciously flimsy if it were to be built IRL.
They still seem a bit more guaged towards RA2 combat than IRL style to me, but it's down to Badnik, really. If he decides that they are IRL realistic, then we just need to accept it.
At least give them a decent skin first. =P

Yeah, that happens when you put tons of Pistons on a bot, it turns into a havok bomb.

don't tite sheets have low HP?
That's Halfsheets you're thinking of. A regular Titanium sheet weight 30kg and has 12,000HP. A Halfsheet is half the weight, but only has a third of the health.

2 Blackvolts give 1600 Power, so you're actually underpowering it very slightly. It can work, but you do need it to be a quick match.

My theory was that the DSL bars were causing damage as well when they hit the Tite Sheet, but I still think that's a bit of a stretch.

My problem would be with Fiery Devil and it's Metal Hinge wedges. I'm fine with Shark, personally, I just don't really like the wedges or the flimsiness of the other two, exposed motors, etc.

Arena looks suitably epic. I do like the high audience, it gives it a real sense of total enclosure and no escape.

Oh right, I thought it was flipping over the other way. Maybe simply extending the spinner to further in front of the bot would help with that.

It's invertible, that's a plus. Drive seems to be okay, maybe use Shiny Hub wheels if you can, but the awkward pistons are caused by something called AGOD, or the Axle Glitch Of Death, which effectively screws up the position and direction of the components. It's a problem with the Havok physics engine, and it can easily be solved by attaching the pistons to Baseplate Anchors instead, which will also net you some extra weight to spend on added weaponry.

4 Razors. =D
I'd advise using one DDT in place of two SnapperII's, personally.

Looks not too bad. Does the robot tip back when the opponent hits the wamming rack?

I would definitely change it. If one robot is decimated and loses its motors, and the robot that has the upper hand gets thrown OOTA via a havok bomb, then I would certainly want a rematch.
