Won't be able to send in my bot till Friday, as I'm in the middle of moving and don't want to try to rebuild the snow blower on my laptop.

Joke or not, this sounds legitimately fun.

I've been hired and will be moving to the Duluth, GA area in the next few weeks.

 How about a modified snowblower?

For anyone wondering why there's been no physical progress, I'm currently searching for a full time mechanical engineering job and decided to wait until I've started getting paid before I start on any new builds.
I've currently got several interested companies and will hopefully know where I'm going in a few weeks.

Son...
I am proud. =D
Dude that doesn't even make sense. Mike's almost twice your age. :P
@Mike: Is that an asymmetric VS? If so what is offset, the disk or the chassis?
Chassis is offset. I've also got some variants with an angled chassis and two disks and a slightly angled disk.

Just sent in my Sir Force A Lot replica. May as well get some use out of it since RA2 Extreme Warriors never happened.

I don't get why you would use multiple polycarb extenders.
The middle one gets the spacing set such that the disc is very close to centered between the skirts, could have done it a different way, but I didn't feel like reworking the mount setup. The skirts seem to fail well before the polycarb extenders even get touched with the current layout.

That's a lot of weapon weight for a LW VS. 
Very nice way to be efficient with the drive setup/stabilizers. It looks like it might be a bit tippy (in the backwards direction) though.
Also, those polycarb extenders might not fare so well against some of the popups in BBEANS AI... but very nice bot regardless.
It's pretty stable until it loses about half the dsl teeth, once that happens it's a bit prone to tipping. I'm thinking I might move the motors all the way to the back, but they're hilariously well protected where they are now.

 Against 123AI, Bane would regularly beat it, Milkshake would get the occasional lucky shot on the motors and the SnS's were too havoky to test reliably, but it beat the rest.

One of the major things is I was driving Double Trouble (the melty FBS) at Franklin in October, and on a good hit with surgical strike it hockey pucked around the arena and damaged all four walls, breaking two fairly severely. If a high energy 12 can do that, there's no way I'm putting my 30 in that arena, especially when I've seen the robot launch itself several feet in the air with the weapon still moving at a good speed.

Tabletop match is up!
Videos -> 3rd Place Play Off -> Tabletop
AI was rather special there with havok driving into the hole after tossing the opponent. Edit: For that matter, Havok seems to barely be able to move in a straight line

 Tested it against all the 123AI lw's and it beat 10/17. Losses were to LW-FlailSnS, LW-Popup, HMX, Bane, Milk Shake and Big Wheel. Didn't bother with the crawler.

 Fun, quick little AW. Still debating between beater bars and dsl light teeth. Weight is 122.something

Time for a quick rundown of all the bots built, being built and planned. Ready to go: Moros: Ready for Moto 2012 or wherever else I may take it. Franklin's out because I don't trust the arena to contain the bar should something go wrong. Kobalos: Ready for whatever event is next. I'm now an official tester for Fingertech and will be running 20:1 Silver Sparks in Kobalos. In progress: Apollyon: Redesign is essentially done. If I end up down south, there's a lot more events that I can take the wedge to than the spinner, so it'll be the first 12lb build. Motor City Massacre: Clamper/lifter ant. Concept sketch done by my girlfriend, detailed design is still being fine tuned, but it's moving along well. Planning stage: Nyx: 30lb/Sportsman wedge/lifter/hammer/thing. Most of the design is done, thinking on the fork actuation. Weapon power will be an 18v dewalt in low gear. Unnamed 12lb VS: Concept's mostly sorted, if I have enough cash it may be ready for Moto next year. Ant:  Vert 12 next to Apollyon 3:

All things considered, it's not a half bad mix of bot types.
