It isnt the worst BOTM entry ever, it just got outclassed. You still did a good job IMO.

looks like a pretty practical bot

it's just a little on the generic side. The bot itself is very good, but there's not a whole lot about it that stands out, especially for BOTM

3-4 razors if you are talking about the green/purple snappers.

No, I mean the big ones.  For some reason I've forgotten what they're called.

EDIT: Was thinking about DDTs.

You know what this is for:



On the front there are bacon pancakes.  They look kinda gross.

Definitely not just a lazy reskin.

I didn't make the steak.  Sorry everyone.

This was kind of a last minute entry so very generic.  Originally I was gonna cover the splash wit little quotes about obvious flaws in the bot (empty space, uninspiring paintjorb, etc.) but it just ended up looking kind of tacky.

It does look kinda like Butterfly Stink, actually.  Maybe I should get better fonts.

Somethin lame for RA2 League:



Promblem: It's 800.9 kg.  I could easily fix that by slimming the chassis, but man, I do not feel like rebuilding the whole thing right now.  Anthyding else I ought to take into consideration before I rework it?

40cm extenders for wedges are too short, right?
even if they aren't that might hinder effectiveness to much to the point where you should just rebuild it.
also this reminds me i have to make something too.

So, last night I saw RedAce's proposition for a Stock MW hybrid challenge.  I'm not great at hybrids, and haven't played Stock for a bit, so of course I agreed.  Here's what I came up with:

It's an HS/poker.  The HS bit has 6 total irons and the poker bit has 4 irons and one useless razor.  DSA, of course.  I could have shored up the back of the chassis a bit, since there's some empty space betwixt the motors, but I had already rebuilt the thing several times to get the weapons on right, and didn't feel like doing it again.

I have a whole text file full of names and no ideas.  Someone hit me with a challenge and I'll do my best.

Chicken Drill.  MW or higher.



2 blacks stacked together there, DSA of course.  It's a messy disaster, and is just barely overweight too.  But how is it in combat?




It can beat LWs, so you know, that's something.

this hybrid i'm not sure. poker/large hs may just not work.

if you had two smaller hs to feed your opponent to the poker it may work. but that would be more of a dsl build.
