Rules:
1. All bots will be DSL HW
2. Realistic Rule applies, and it will be very strict. This includes super stacked weapons (For example, HNM 3.2 would be disallowed because of the weapons stacked so tightly. This will be at my discretion).
3. No BFE (This includes chassis lowering), AAM, ZeroG, secret hax armor, or anything else outside of the bot lab besides skinning
4. No cheatbot2, cheat, or AI parts
5. No Trovaner Chassis Glitch, and No using skirt hinges as armor
6. At time of entry, all bots will have a weight minimum of 675 kgs and a weight limit of 700 kgs.
7. Within one week of when I say to send, every builder in that round will send me an updated version of the original bot, which can weigh up to 800 kgs. If no bot is entered, the builder will use the original. I will not accept bots early, or late.
8. Uses of extra weight: Optimize Wedges, Add/Change Weapons, Add External Armor, or Change Wheels. You are not allowed to use the extra weight for: Adding Motors, or Adding Chassis Armor. You are not allowed to change the Control Board, Change motors (not including Metal Hinge and Skirt Hinges), or Remove Titanium Half-Sheets attached to Baseplate. You are allowed to move the control board and batteries within the chassis.
9. AFTER CHANGES, THE BOT TYPE MUST STAY THE SAME
10. If any bot is not sent by the end of the week, or the builder has not sent a legal bot by the end of the week, the builder will use the original sent bot.
11. You can also choose to use the same bot as a past round, just say so. Although saying in a PM would be better so the opponent doesn't know what you're entering
12. I will film with Fraps, and I can provide AIing sklz, but I would prefer that you AI yourself.
13. The arena will be the BBEANS Tournament Arena V2, hazards on.
14. NO AI WHINING
15. The original bot sent to me must be mobile
16. For simplicity, multibots are not allowed
17. Any entering user must be an active member who has stayed active during their time here. I don't want anyone joining and just leaving.
18. This tournament will follow the BBEANS rules for match restarts and havoks
19. Each fight is a best of 3 matches. 1 vs. 1
20. There will also be a losers bracket.
These are the rules.....they can not change.

I thought a starter kit would be fine.
it would be, but you need to get the right starter kit for the right goal also if you have a local R/C or hobbies shop see if they cannot do some wiring /soldering for you.. im sure they wouldnt charge much if at all

he was offering you advice, take it or leave it but dont bite back when you dont want to hear something.. you should be thankful for others showing an interest.. they could sit back and watch you pour countless $$$ into something that wont reach your end goal .remember text does not convey feelings.. if you think he is being mean its your own personal thoughts when reading it.. nothing to do with the poster.

take HP out of the equation imo... base it on speed.. which ever is the fastest combo, both in turn speed and ramming

I have been doing some testing and have broken it down to only a single line to make this happen... I have my theory on why this does happen but still testing it to be true...

there is probably a lot of them who went undefeated since not all tournaments do a best of 3 format ?

Hey... Wait a sec. Why I am 9th...? And I have more points than few guys...
yes JD is correct... the double line indicates were the cut off was made and the line line shows were the next will be made. your biggest goal now is to stay in the top 16 (or top 8 of your section) to make the grand final heat

If you start stressing out again I am dragging you back to the ranks of us pathetic underachievers for a vacation. :P
lol thanks.. I can handle this ok... its just combined with other things outside that was giving me greif.. I couldnt do much about other things so I had to relief it somewhere else (mod duties) but all is good now and with the extra help of Trov and Pwn should make it better.

Sorry I wasn't very clear. How do I get to attach stuff and then have it all stacked.
I assume you wire the snapper and preform normal eFFe with the base parts
