Why can't you just wait until you've got your comp back? Or clone them on the other one?

Issues at home got his regular computer taken off of him (I think), so he's using a backup computer, but it doesn't have everything that the regular comp does.
In essence, he's suggesting that some of the entrants that fairly won their first round matches should be kicked out of the tournament because he doesn't have them on the backup computer. Which I think is a ridiculous idea, you can't punish someone for something that is in no way their fault.

So you're saying you want to go one on one with Tsunami? :P
No, I'm saying I'd want all four participants to be kept in. It's not fair on the other competitors to be kicked out because of something that's entirely out of their control.

Isn't that going to screw up the result? I'd prefer to keep the brackets as they are, personally, rather than giving the losing bot a free pass because of something out of anyone's control bar yours...

As much as I trust SKBT and all, and I know he would do it fairly
By letting him change his bot you are opening up a whole can of worms, not just in this, but in other tourneys also
I can't see how this system is open to abuse, in all honesty. If the bot is received, then that means the entrant was happy enough for it to take part. If the only problem is havoking in a certain manner, and it's been established that the problem is the size of the chassis, then they should be allowed to use what weight they have left to enlarge the chassis only. All the other components must remain the same, I think that's a pretty fair ruling on it.

Looks pretty good. I'd consider switching the Weapon and Drive motors around, unless it's to act as a pinner.

I'm perfectly fine with him trying to expand the chassis to avoid it.

Ramplates wont work. I forgot to mention this, but because the DDTs are mounted on Snappers, they tend to "bounce" and occasionally pop out from behind the ramplate. So a snowplow might work better.
Try mounting the Snapper2 on its side rather than its back. The plane of rotation won't conflict with the bot's plane of normal movement, so they shouldn't wobble quite so much. Then you'd be able to stick two ramplates on the front. =]

Now that thing looks badass. I like. =] If you wanted, you could attach a 20cm CF extender to the central AP of each disc, just to offer some degree of protection.

JODF's position in the final four depends entirely on whether the havok gets fixed. If it doesn't, it could throw the whole tournament up in the air. I don't have any doubt that it won't be, though, it is simple enough to do. =]

I'm certainly not against it. I can't see how it would drastically affect any of the entrants thus far, aside from SKBT's jaws actually working.

Is that Astro + Hypno? I think that could be potentially havokous. I'd consider Mini Wheels and a more powerful motor, personally. If you're using metal hinges for the bottom wedge, I think you only need one.
No, those are the grey RAD-like drives with Hypno Wheels. It gives it pretty good speed and nice manouverability across the arena.
Oh, you mean TWM's.
Actually, come to think of it, it looks a lot like Death Of Angels 2.
You didn't notice that INSTANTLY?
Still a good design though.
No, I was too busy looking at the bot lab. =P But it must be a good design, it won BBEANS 6.

Lose the mohawk, and maybe lose the iron tail as well. The frontal protection probably won't hold up too well against HS's, you should have two ramplates on the edges of the front.

SnS I would believe. Makes more sense as it would spin faster.
Yep. That was the plan, and it works MUCH better than I'd expected. =D

At what point does it havok? When it tries to turn?

Machine Head - Now I Lay Thee Down
Go get Burn My Eyes. Now.
I'll give that a look at some stage. =] I'm just about learning to play that, but it's not that easy on a 6-string.
