the bot must not be MEME THEMED

i don't think i can enter
Removed the bot must not be MEME THEMED rules
Wen, you're the best.

As far as the rules go, it looks like you've covered everything.  I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "all glitch allowed" though.  The DSL-Standard ruleset would probably take care of anything too game-breaking, but you might want to consider removing that.  You also might want to add a rule banning BFE (bot file editing).

its been very fun to watch this but I wish o could face Papyrus bike...

You might be able to request a match after the tournament is done. It can't be guaranteed, but I think Thrackerzod would allow it.

Yeah I'll definitely do some bonus matches.  I was already planning a Papyrus Bike/TriKilla/Weaponized ReInterverter/Im not at all serious! rumble match, but if you'd like a one on one, I can do that for you.
Do Papyrus Bike Vs Weaponized Relnterverter

You got it, Wen!

Anyway, here's the Winners' Semifinal:

Does it work now?

Sorry about the weird time I'm uploading these.  Anyway, here's Losers' Round 3:





Somehow, that second match is the first wedge war of the tournament.

^^ What Geice said.

The wedges don't flip, they're just there to slide under other robots.

Pole spikes are a bad weapon choice.  They have normals, which means they only deal damage in a certain direction.  Using them on a VS means they won't do much damage.  I'd recommend using iron spikes instead, which don't have normals.

Also, you don't need the 3 pink batteries; one supervolt is enough to power this bot.

I understand wanting to protect your wheels, but the additional mobility gained by having your wheels far apart will be worth more than the wheel protection.

This bot needs a frontal wedge, or else nothing will ever reach the spinner.
it does have a wedge, it just is a bit hard to see due to the in-game lighting and the camera angle

Sorry, should have been more clear.  I don't mean a chassis wedge, I mean a burst motor - extenders - wedge wedge.  Here's an example:
For some reason, this setup makes your bot "wedgy" and able to slide under other robots.  It's basically a must-have for Stock RA2 bots.

Ok, Thracker, thanks for the advice, but don't you need to build to the weight limit, if I use a nifty, won't it be underweight? Also, I want to keep my bot running for long periods of time, that is why I used supervolt.

Most matches we do are 3 minutes long, so usually your bot only needs to be able to last three minutes.

You want to save weight on batteries/wheels/chassis/etc. so you can put more weapons on your bot with the extra weight you've freed up.

Same stuff as before, mostly:

-HP-Zteks
-Shiny hub wheels
-Use good weapons
-Compact chassis
-DSA armour

Also, a Supervolt battery is overkill for this bot, you only need a Nifty.  The rule is 1 Nifty = 2 spin motors, or 1 Supervolt = 4 spin motors.  (All spin motors use the same amount of power because RA2 is not a very good game.)

That's good!  In RA2, you always want to build as close to the weight limit as possible - otherwise you're at a disadvantage.  Making a compact chassis is critical in terms of keeping weight down, as well as using the right parts.

Oh also, you might already know this, but for Stock bots, DSA armour is the way to go.
