This is the most prestigious tournament on the forum. If it were in real life, you woul have to be invited to something like this, and the only way to do that would be to get attention from winning smaller tourneys. do you think noobs at a sport can just join the olympic team in the olympics? just cause they feel like it? NO. they have to work hard for years to even get the chance of being in the olympics. same goes for this tournament. vets have been around much longer and are much better at this game. why should the people who have much less expeiriance at the game even be allowed to compete when the good builders are spending time making good bots? the deadline was in four months. thats when people planned. a good vet, unless they have a bot ready and made, will spend all the time he can on a good bot for Crapcan Derby. We don't want to watch SFTW fights! sure, it's funny the first time, but it gets old. we need epic, cool, fun-to-watch fights where you dont know whats gonna happen. 964

I count three people that are entered that I know nothing good about. If there is even one Spinner From the West entry, I'm going to be pissed because vets like Kill and Sage that have spent so much time contributing to the RA2 community got snubbed in favour of many noobs that thought that it might be kind of neat to enter their first tourney.
I suggest that priority should be given in future to builders that have participated in at least one tournament before (in other words, keep the entries from the first-timers as reserves, and allow vets to have spot priority over them). Crapcan Derby should be the pinnacle of bot-building supremacy, and the best should be allowed every opportunity to compete. I can see why Calypso is mad. 09 did say that the deadline was in four months, so I think that they should have until then to submit bots. ololol, copypastas are fun. 965

Why did you upgrade the drive on the HS? Your ramplate aren't going to be affective ramming weapons and you're exposed HPz don't have enough weapons.

Try to make your robots invertible or at least dangerous when flipped.
You need to save weight in order to get better weapons REVENGE 2. The places to save weight are the drive motors (2 RADs or 2 redbirds), the wheels (use shiny hubs), and the power supply (a single supervolt). 969

I assume this is a DSL-S bot. Regardless of meta, your robot looks to skinny to fight spinners.
Edit: You're batteries/CB are cut in half by the flipper. So it's technically not standard either. 977
