You might want a Round Robin format for that, then. Every robot fights every other robot at least once.
I do like the reskin, though, especially the area around the perimeter.

Definitely looks interesting. As others have said, it's well armoured, but that's about it. First thing to do is ditch the car steering, it's hideously inefficient. In a combat situation, you want to be able to turn on the spot, so your opponent can't attack your vulnerable sides. You do this by wiring all the motors to turn Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise when you're Wiring them. A single BSG will also struggle to lift more than 150kg. If you go through showcases, the better LW flippers have 2 BSGs, and MW's tend to have 4.
You can also run every spin motor from a single ant (counter-intuitive, I know, but that's RA2 Physics for you), but burst motors need to be fully powered. As such, you could theoretically run the robot you have now from only 7 ant batteries. They are preferred over other batteries because they have more electotal for their weight (I think that's the one, I'm not as up on the inner workings of RA2 as other members). You should start out by taking a look through some other showcases, and seeing what components people use. Some components are more efficient than others, and better for their purpose. =)

Looking very nice there. How effective are the irons on that axle?

Helicopter looks sick. That could probably win a BOTM nowadays.

The greatest sport in the world would be having murderers, rapists, child molesters, and other bad people beat the living **** out of each other in a gladiator arena until only one's left standing, with some brutal death metal playing over it.
why can't I participate ???
Because you haven't molested anyone yet. To the best of our knowledge.

Not too bad. Chassis shape's difficult to get right in RA2, but you've got quite a good fit there.

Naryar's theme song could be this.
And I reckon Jonzu's will be either electronic techno stuff, or perhaps J-Pop. Not sure about which particular song, though.

Now that looks quite cool. You could add a nondescript pole in the middle of the arena to prevent boxrushing, perhaps with some kind of statue on the top, like a razor tip or a mace.

If we're having an open arena, I'd rather have the Blade Arena, yeah. But without the blade spinning. I don't like it when the outcome of a match is purely dictated by the hazards, one bot could be a hit away from victory, then the blade whacks it over the edge.

find a way to put the ramplate in front. on top it's pretty bad... since there's like only one hammer bot that can ever come close to beating it.
I think it's okay on the top. What if it gets flipped over against a popup or other undercutter?
That's what I was thinking about there. The motors are going to be protected by the weapons, and if the weapons do go, then the motors become a bit pointless.

Yeah, F1 would be so much better if all the tracks were dirt, but still circuits and flat, then you would see some interesting designs.
I remember one of the commentators said he had been asked how Formula 1 could be improved, and he replied "Just add water". I think Bernie was suggesting adding sprinklers to some tracks to have artificial wet races. And F1 tracks aren't necessarily flat, that would be boring. There's plenty of elevation changes on tracks such as Monaco and the new Circuit of the Americas in Austin.

what about my theme song?
It involves G3.5, and yes I'm in an evil mood today 
Now we just have to wait for Naryar to arrive.

Except I don't live in Glasgow. =P I seem to think GF93's theme tune would be this:

By "all these", do you mean Rob and Ducky? I think we were a bit like that when Geice arrived and had fearsome botting skills straight away. But yeah, they do seem to have learned the ins and outs of repping pretty quickly. I can't tell if Rob's made Mace 2 in Stock or DSL, though.

Looking good. what I might do is raise the lifting arm motor, to get the angle a bit more correct, and perhaps try to add those flailing things on the back.

In football, as in any sport, I only support one team
The winning one
a.k.a. Murdoch's Gambit. And what curse is GF93 talking about?

Hey, J24! Welcome back, how've things been going? =)
Also Chess is superior to football in every conceivable way.

Football is clearly inferior to every other sport.
I'm actually hoping Rangers get kicked out of the SPL. If they were allowed straight back in, it would set a hideous precedent for other clubs. They'd basically be saying "Okay, you can <expletive> all your money away with no consequence". At least if they were sent down to Division 3 or whatever, it might spur other football clubs to actually be sensible with money for a change.

I'd seen something about the Nissan Deltawing on wtf1. It did say it was racing under the number 0, and was ineligible for classifcation. Does look badass, though.
I like the idea that Le Mans and Formula 1, the sort of top levels of motorsport, are sort of heralding the next generation of ordinary road car development. Like the introduction of carbon fibre as a construction material, and the KERS system that was trialed a few years ago, I've seen a couple of cars that had a similar system. I'm pretty sure they were hybrids that used it, which would make sense.
