Maybe it's not trash. 246.1 kg, regular NPCs, PL 3 was the most armor I could fit.

These all look like 2.1 robots to me. Good engineering, but very grey.

Consider orienting the wedge on SnS/Flippers more in the direction of your spin instead of pointing them forwards, like on your set up. I feel like you'd catch more robots that way.

I'm voting #3 because I want to believe that you don't need to enter big robots into BOTM to win. Nice Vortex rebuild though.

And what is #2? Is LSD legal in your country or what?

This should be a good tournament.

The chassis is super tight on your "static wedge" I'll give you that much. You don't need HPZs for the weapons. Since it's a juggler, even reverse angle motors can do fine. With the extra weight, you can invest in enough chassis space for a green snapper.

Batteries in Stock don't "run out" as they do in DSL, and rammers don't need a lot of power because the early charges dictate the match. You can get invertibility with lighter weight shiny hubs via a shorter chassis, just play with the slider for a bit.

I built request two. But I'm rebuilding it at some point to make it not meme-y.

A torque reaction flame SnS. In some places it's as common as dog meat.

My first request involved using flamethrowers:

DSA. It's not combat tested, but the spin-up speed is reasonable and it looks cool to me.

I second flattening the front of the second hammer. You only need enough leverage on a hammer to keep wedge from sneaking under you. Too much angle and pokers/HSs have permission to rip your hammer apart.

Double Elimination is the simplest approach that makes sure people don't get quickly taken out by my generic 36hs. It also brings back memories to the BBEANS generation. I would prefer this overall.

Heats have worked generally work on tournament style TV shows because you get a lot of content/contestants in and out. But the system is not fair to people who get bad draws. To fix that you either lot of fairly applied wildcard spots or you a large, time-consuming, Frankenstein formats akin to what was seen in the Robot Wars reboot.

Something really unique would be a system based off of some North American (and Australian) sports. You have a "group stage" with 8 groups of 8. You earn points based on how you win your fights and the top robot(s) from each group advance to a championship tournament. The twist is that instead of a generic round-robin some extra matches will be held between members of different groups. In my view, those last matches are more dramatic because they’re each affecting two groups.

You should find a way to stabilize your drum without having as much open chassis sticking out. Horizontal weapons are already good at killing drums, but you could also be side hammer food as is.

I haven't used this showcase in a few months because of some hardware issues. If everything goes swimmingly I should be able to update this showcase by the end of the month.

In the meantime, I'd like some funky building requests from the rest of you. It has been a while, so I am running on fumes.

not trying to change the subject, but we're currently looking into appointing someone to head admin to fill kill's position

it's not set in stone yet, but we do want to have it set up to where the userbase has direct influence over who takes the position

also I'm going to bed for now so this is on hoppin for now. please clap
TBH I think the 2018 awards were evidence that we shouldn't let people vote on stuff like this

Geese also said the staff is "appointing" a new admin. I assume us plebs are getting a "yay" "nay" vote.

Either zoom in closer, use two pictures of your robot or crop your pictures.

As for the robot, it looks acceptable. There's something about the tiny "hands" over the discs that I don't like. Try making them thicker if possible.

If you can get extra battery life like Geice's Childs Play clone has, it would be a 10. Cool to see a stock "splash" in 2019.
