Nice, I love the "Lilly's Thoughts" section of the splashes. Nice to get an opinion from the tournament host.

Here's a swath of generic robots I built to polish of the variety of different bot types I can build"

wow that looks sick for a shell spinner, impressive work getting that balanced with the whole face on the front
Thanks! I'm quite proud of the asymmetrical design too. In fact, I was so proud of it, I built another asymmetrical spinner, one just as balanced but way more powerful (and absurd) Whammotron 2000

Here's something a bit more original: A perfectly stable asymmetrical shell spinner artbot. It's main issue is weapon power and taking forever to self-right.

Crap, I better enter something fast!
Did you not read the giant bold text that says to not build yet?
Oops, too late, built a bot already. Oh well.
Anyways, can I sign up for the tourney? This tournament's team concept is interesting to me.
Yeah but the point of the tourney is that you build after signing up. You get into teams and discuss among yourselves what bot type each person is gonna do and then build a bot accordingly. Coming in with a bot pre built doesn't really work.
Yeah, sorry. I'm not used to this type of format. So, where do we discuss team stuffs?

Here's a bot I built under duress and forgot to post after the fact: Paranoid Anxiety. It's a LW Tombclone powerhouse with TWM drive, a Perm 80 motor, and I BELIEVE either 3mm aluminum or titanium armor.

Nice! Both my bot had wins, and Scavenger even got 3rd place! GG ya'll. If there's ever a sequel to this tournament (the concept is brilliant and fun), might I suggest we increase the range of chassis we work with? Like, ALL the chassis of bots made in stock AI perhaps? That'd be fun.

Competitor Opinions (Honest but mostly kind) Devil Barber: You know it's a joke entry when the old skin is still visible and low-quality Jpegs are put on it. I just wish I understood the joke it represented, and what that Killalot claw is for. Is it a clamp? If so, then at least it would be innovative. I don't know how impressive the drive system is, but it's weapon looks scary.
They Call Me Cuban Pete (My 1st Entry): Well...here's another way to make a meme bot. I'm also glad to see I'm the only shuffly boi here. It go chik-chiky boom-boom, chik-chiky boom! Of course, this bot has no chance of winning anything. I'm just glad I got the damn thing to work and look the way I wanted it to.
Coral Snake: Although it ain't much to look at, I'm REALLY jealous of how well covered the original chassis was. I can't tell what chassis this thing used! I tried something similar with my second entry and failed badly. It's seems to have good armor and adequate weapons. The wheels are exposed and poorly placed for driving the bot, but well placed for protection from attacks and well picked for durability (in fact, the S3 wheels are kinda overkill)
Livewire: Oooooh, I like this! A seamless integration of Tailwhip's chassis here. It also has a nice circuitry theme to it, so there's character too. I think it may do well.
Orby-Choy: Lol, I love the name. I also love the concept of converting the chassis of a stock robot into a recreation of a real-life combat robot, especially when the execution is THIS well done. The disc looks lethal, but I'm unsure of that drive setup, looks kinda weak. At least the colson wheels will endure some good hits.
Fork You: At first I thought this was lazy, but this is actually where things get funny: It says "Fork" you, but has no forks. It kept nearly EVERYTHING from the original Forky design, EXCEPT the namesake weapons. That's a literal F*ck you to this tournament concept. It's kinda funny. I want to see this thing fight my shuffler built from the same chassis, Cuban Pete, to see which Forkie Joke Bot reigns supreme. Their battle will be legendary.
Atom Smacker: Basically the same concept as Fork You, but less funny/clever and more combat-oriented. I see this thing doing decently in the tournament.
Megawatt: Although it's just Tailwhip being turned into a different iteration of a thwack bot, it sure looks distinguished from said bot. I like the swordfish-like weapon on it, along with the sky-blue color scheme. Not sure how practical the weapon is (some of those spikes ain't hittin' shiet) but I think it can win a fight or two.
Burning Landscape: I have mixed feelings on this one. It's kinda ugly, but I REALLY like how the chassis of a SnS bot was somehow converted into an undercutter like this. That weapon also looks quite dangeorus. Should tear apart an entry or two (hopefully neither of mine)
Beijing Streets: Holy crap, what is this? I like the design as a CONCEPT, but this seems like either an incomplete or botched execution of such a thing. It's like Palindrome from Battlebots had a baby with Turtle Road Kill. DEFINITELY a good subversion of the original Spin Bonker design it's chassis comes from, but I feel like this was either rushed or not given enough time to be finished. The rear Dreadnaught discs ain't doin' nothing, but it looks nice at least. I think this can score a good hit or two before being flipped.
Molecule Deflector: Ooooh, poggers. I can barely tell what Extra robot this design came from, and it looks beautiful. Armor and drive look good, but I feel like it would struggle to self-right.
Neon Tongue: What's the weapon on this bot exactly? I fear for it's opponents if that's a spinner of some kind, since that's 2 stacked DSL bars. That's heavy and high in DP. However, I worry for the strength of it's drive system, but at least it has solid (but ugly) front armor. This thing should be able to tank a few good hits.
Altitude: It's AMAZING how much a fun color scheme can hide a mundane design, which didn't really make good use of the Bot Choy chassis. I don't see this thing winning many fights, but I adore the flashiness of it. An underrated color combo IMO.
Junkyard Scavenger (My other Entry): I needed to make something on-par with Cuban Pete in terms of memorability, but ALSO be a viable competitor. I ended up trying to make the craziest thing possibly out of my favorite Extra bot chassis, Barbershop Chop. Although you can obviously see that bot's chassis through this design, I personally think I made good use of what I had to work with. Not sure how will it will fight, the armor IIRC was kinda weak.
Botcoy: Looks more competent than Fork You, but it doesn't have that same degree of comedic brilliance to it. I imagine it has a powerhouse drive system and a workable weapon system, so this joke entry might actually do quite well.
Licker: This thing is so god damn adorable. It MUST fight Neon Tongue to the death. It's a battle of good taste. Also, I love the customization of the spinning disc weapon.
When will the videos be posted?

As much as I ADORE these replicas...
...shouldn't these be in the replicas thread instead?

Ok, I was a little over-zealous over that last post. I took pain meds for my chipped teeth, and it looks like last night I lost my freaking mind. How do I know this? Well, shortly after that torque-reaction bot, I built this cursed thing:

Ok, so here's a funny story of how I just made RA2 history on accident: So I tried rebuilding the first DSL bot I EVER posted on here, Rolling Pin Of Doom. It used to look like this:  And now it looks like this: You see those desert tan extenders that are supposed to mimic arms? Well, when I was testing this bot out and started it's weapon, I happened to also be moving the bot in the opposite direction of the drums, causing the extenders to torque-react. I tried a few more times and realized there's another way to make torque reaction bots. This led to me making THIS thing: This is the prototype version of "Flipping Crazy", which functions EXACTLY like a torque-reaction bot IRL could, with the assistance of drums acting as gyroscopes that move the opposite direction of the wheels if they move either forward or backward. No more did we need to use non-wheel components to make torque reaction bots. Then, I improved the design to use saws so it was more tourney-legal, and it ended up working BETTER. Now it can hit stuff with FORCE, and on the spot too! And with that, a new breed of bot is born.

Quick rebuild of an old blue flipper to shake off the rust of not building for 3 months.
Probably gonna skin up the flipper panels and chuck it in AC3 depending how many entries each person gets
[ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
One day I'll make a britflipper that can actually win fights
The flipper itself is neat, but I REALLY love the name.

Decided to recreate one of my old classic robots from years past: Mega Metallicus, who was able to reach the quarter finals in one of Freeziez Battlebots Tournaments. The try-hard nature of this design still resonates to this day, with it's Etek drive Ti10 armor, and potent weapon setup. I'm thinking of recreating other classic builds I made back in the day too...

Signups have now been open for a month, and you are now allowed up to three entries if you want. Third entry must be a different category from your other two. I did consider closing categories that have four or more entries already, but won't for now as I don't have enough feedback to know if that's a good or bad idea.
Noice.

In the 6 years I've spent playing this game, this is easily, by far, the MOST cursed robot I've ever made: Cuban Pete: A MW shufflebot that I'll be entering to Keleimpel's Xtras Tournament. As per the rules of the competition, my entry is built from the chassis of one of the RA2 Extra Stock Robots (In this case, Forkie)
