I think im going to have to give up on this.
I know its annoying that ive done this twice now but I dont think I should have done a tournament this large. Its been hard to manage and ive made alot of mistakes so I doubt I will go back to this.
If I ever do start another tournament I will probably do it on a smaller scale

If you want some hand. Drop me a dm

That saw looks to be the wrong way round. Also with Mr Money Bags the supports feel rather off being white, like they're nothing for it to align with in terms of colour.

New bot! This one was by far the most difficult out of every other bot ive done, not only due to the difficulty in making it work at all like the actual robot but also in terms of skinning because of its awkward shape.

So... heres Donald Hutson's Diesector!

The dust has cleared on this showcase huh.

Give 'Im the chair
You have a great amount of drive on this. This will certainly be the strength of the bot itself. So I'd recommend keeping it. I noticed you have plates at the back of the bot. I'd actually recommend removing them and putting some more armour in the front, specifically the angled side bits. This can do wonders for absorbing horizontal spinner impacts. Secondly, the burst and the subsequent flipper on top has an odd reationship to the wedge itself. Looking as it would cut off the smooth transition that bots will have when riding onto it. I'd recommend lowering the burst slightly whether this is through bfe or rebuilding it as such. This would make the weapon much easier to put into effect.

I'd also recommend you lose that 1 red battery. 4 blacks is plenty. Perhaps then you can use that weight for a hinged wedgelets this, combined with your drive would mean that you could bully most things in the arena.

Vendetta
The reach of Valkyrie is far. This is personally my favourite build of yours. Whilst I believe the vertical spinner setup to be rather last minute it certainly doesn't look bad. From what I can see. In the vertical spinner setup. You have only 1 black battery, whilst in the undercutter you have 2. Change both of these to 1 black and 1 ant bat. This will give you weight to have better teeth. I suggest small typhoons. This will make it a really top tier undercutter/vert. Remember that don't want the disc hitting the ground as this will stop all it's damage output. So maybe a hexplate underneath if you haven't already will really help.

Zupay V3
You have too many batteries. Remember that each battery has a set amount of time for their usage, with spinners and spin motors this can be easily calculated. You have 4 spin motors in it's current setup, this means you only need 2 black bats, but you can use 2 reds, which can also get you through 3 minutes thus all the fight. But I suggest adding a second pair of drive motors. Moving the current ones back and maybe use smaller wheels. Colsons perhaps. If you want the thickness of the vlads, stack the colsons on one another. With doing this, you'll be needing 3 reds for this.

Shalako
Like Badger said, this is a lovely BW. Nice to see flippers in the low weightclasses. I can't really critique it much. But you'll just have to test it so see it's flaws and change it based on that.

Crurivastator
Like mention with a previous bot, given this has lower speed and hinged wedge will drastically help it, allowing it to more effectively get under stuff, which will then allow you to get under bots and push them around and generally take control of a fight. Due to axes being more of a grappling style of combat, having to get it close etc. It's important to focus your armour on the front of your machine. Whilst you have the front panel itself, you'll want to armour the faces besides them, due to how you'll be hit by the spinners.

The axe itself fits the theming quite well but, I'm unsure as to the damage that can be caused given that the bottom two teeth are facing the incorrect way. Maybe look into a different component to replace it, with that shape but can deal more damage.

Category 5
A warrior dragon bot is always a challenge to make, personally I commemorate you for taking up the challenge. Personally I've never attempted this myself. So I can't offer much feedback on this. The teeth you're using however, I'm not sure of the effectiveness of them.

He is, I think, a permabanned user since 2015, for being toxic and hacking someone's account

Also, his account's name is HurricaneAndrew

Toxicity and multi-accounting

Why don't we swap FBI for Andy?

I mean. We could have both go

First off, why is DSL-S called that when you can enter Stock/Ironforge bots into it's category? Surely it should just be called "Standard", and allow for each different meta to use it's own "standard" build style? It would save you a category, seeing as -nobody- builds DSL or Ironforge bots in the style of Stock.

It's not, it's called Stock style unrealistic.

Stock style Unrealistic (DSL, Ironforge, and Stock)

Another thing, seeing as entries for this first one don't close for another two months, am I hosting this month's BOTM, or relinquishing that?

This account is doing that. It'll fall on staff responsibility.

The main reason why I set up A New BOTM the way I did is because simply put, -nobody- was sending splashes in. Heck, I was even considering including Discord bots at a time for the same reason. I don't think this will have the same turnout as my implementation, but... we'll wait and see.

Well given there's no stupid caveat to builds, that should allow people to enter something they're more interested in designing.

Hope I could be of assistance.
