No, I mean Jonzu might reject it for too many weapons. I only got 4 irons and 2 katanas, and I won the dang tourney.

But Weapons is its strong point, it has other weaknesses which can be exploited.

all it looks like is you took a big chassis and put random parts in it

So here's my IRL Realistic design for RWE3 Scarecrow:
(Image removed from quote.)

Contrary to your belief, those Irons DO NOT INSECT ANYTHING.

I think it is better than most of the stuff on my showcase, especially since it is IRL.

No, just no.

12 irons is not irl. period.

my rw8 bot only had 4 irons and it received almost as much flak as bumblebee...

Badnik96 · « **Reply #64 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:11:22 PM »

because of the flamethrower, not the irons

Mr. AS · « **Reply #65 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:18:29 PM »

exposed stock-esque flamethrowers are irl

either way, we are beginning to drift off-topic now. i think we should go back to talking about how trias can make his bot not be the worst-looking bot of the tourney

It's not OP, because the champion can defeat it.
How is it not IRL, that's like saying any horizontal spinner is not IRL. It's really not that devastating.
Here's a full list of weaknesses:

Axes ruin it
Very weak armour (plastic)
Battery life isn't that good
Exposed Wheels
Weak to rammers, or anything fast and sturdy
Very easy to push about

And if you think my weaponry is as bad as it is, look at Last Rites. Do they say Last Rites is not IRL? Ofc, it exists. Sewer Snake can still push the bot about, as can others. It's not unbeatable, as is my bot.

The point of IRL is not to make it beatable it's to make something that looks cool and realistic. Your's is neither.

But it is realistic. That kind of robots can be done. As for cool, I don't care about that, it's cool because of the weapon really.

Any horizontal spinner. For example, Twisted Metal Evo

Mr. AS · « **Reply #71 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:35:27 PM »

twisted metal evo seems to only have two weapons on its disc

T-Wrecks. Had plenty of weapons on it

Jonzu95 · « **Reply #73 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:40:10 PM »

TRiaS, Your bot is unacceptable. Too many weapons.

Enigm@ · « **Reply #74 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:41:00 PM »

but those don't spin on trex

MassimoV · « **Reply #75 on:** November 18, 2012, 03:42:31 PM »

T-Wrecks had them staticly placed on its chassis, not on a spinning disc.

And Vertikiller is acceptable? Anyway, what irons should I remove?
EDIT: Also, would like to state something. Did the judges at the qualifiers ever say to Hypnodisc or Hazard "Your bot is too destructive, try again" (apart from The Mauler scene, which was to do with damage to the arena, which isn't a problem in RA2)

8 razors =/= 12 irons

Razors > Irons though because they are lighter and Razors don't have normals.
