Hasn't been confirmed yet, but I don't see how anyone could consider my bot too good:

Interesting story behind this bot. A long time ago, Firebeetle and I were at a robot combat event (I think it was the Triangle Series Nationals) where Wedge of Doom was competing. The announcer at the event was talking about how you can make a bot name out of practically anything if you just add "Of Doom" at the end. Sort of poking fun at Wedge of Doom. Seeking an example, he saw a member of the audience eating out of a box of Wheat Thins, so he said, "Why, you could even make a bot called Wheat Thins Box of Doom!" So naturally, once we got home FB promptly made a bot called Wheat Thins Box of Doom, and scanned all the panels of a box of Wheat Thins to skin it. Not to be outdone, I went and made Cheez-It Box of Doom the same way. I didn't really know what I was doing design-wise, so it turned out pretty bad even for that time. And thus was born my N00b Warz bot.

On another note, I'm confused about some of the bots people are calling "too good". I haven't seen any bots I would call too good so far, here or in anyone's showcase. Heck, a lot of you said Somestrangeguy's wacky HS/VS hybrid with 4 maces was too good, yet no one has mentioned Big Box, which has twice as many maces.

Also, wasn't the original Big Box a SHW with a maximum-size chassis filled with a bunch of random weapons? Or am I thinking of something else. I don't actually remember the bot, I just remember you (Redline) talking about it.

y'know... with Joeblo's little army of boxes trick... you could have that thing surrounded by a legion of cheez-its.

Looks awesomely aweful. I can't wait to see it in action. So, it is a hammer/flipper? You got a spiffy AI line written for that?

It works kind of like a cheesier, saltier version of Diesector. Didn't need anything too special; I just used Topknot.py.

Cool bot, Click.

I think it's because the maces on mine are used ineffectively. Maces in reality are weapons to be swung, ya'know? Not virtually poking your enemy (while being swung at a right angle to their general direction)

While they do provide a decent frontal defence, there's nothing stopping BB being flipped, or anything going around the side.

Something else, dunno what. Did talk about Big Box but only in the form as you see it here.

Nooby and cool!!!!!1 Duh it's in Click.

Even though I'm not in the tourney, I thought it would be fun to share some of my noob stuff.
Since you've seen Cheez-it Box of Doom, here's the Wheat Thins Box of Doom that CB mentioned. Gotta love that anchored bracket wedge. I remember I copied the hammer from Raptor because I thought it was awesomely powerful. Of course, when it can hardly reach the opponent, things are a little different...

And a fun little piece of history- Wicked Chicken, with the original 'chicken drill'. I think the picture says it all.

Edit: also FB why are you not a veteran ? lol

Have a look where the word "Classification" should be.

Pwnator · « **Reply #70 on:** October 10, 2009, 04:03:50 AM »

@ LRA2: AHA! I see what you saw there. Good eye! XD

I was about to press F11 to showcase my supposed entries but my game crashed. Darn.

[Edit] 'Classification'? Your previous clue was better. :P

Ok, now a third one please...

hypnodisc7 · « **Reply #75 on:** October 10, 2009, 01:47:10 PM »

This is Delta

exposed wheels = fail!

this bot owns most stock AI...and I defeated EMERGENCY with it many times.

I guess you mean overexposed because many bots do it. Hell, haven't seen wheels mounted in the chassis on this forum at all. Suppose it makes sense though. Giving the chassis a little more protection, for a wheel coming off isn't as bad as a KO..

Looks alright. For a n00b bot.

Hahaha. I say it and then someone showcases a bot with it right after.

I doubt your first HW had wedges like this.
