B4ttlebots - Signups

[GoldenFox93]

Blast. Now Ounce is going to steal my HW spot. I'll have to rush a SHW on Wednesday, since college lasts until 5pm tomorrow. Provided signups stay open that long.

Sorry about that, mate- on the bright side, there's still plenty of SHW spaces, so I might build for that, too. If we both get our entries in on time, do you think you'll be up for a little spar once we're in there?   

[NFX]

Definitely. Always up for a spar with you, fox boy.

There's a few spaces left in the LW bracket as well. Why does everyone build for MW and HW with tournaments like this?

[Badnik96]

Need to make a LW like now, but I have 2 projects due tomorrow. fml

My only entry is a LW

Excellent- keep the rivalry going   
 
And yes, I might go for that if I can. I think it's because the MW and HW brackets offer a good enough amount of weight to build something close to the robots you see on Robot Wars and Battlebots, but doesn't leave you so much weight you're left wondering what to do with it.

That's true. Regardless, it should produce some pretty good fights. Hopefully I won't be put up against something too DSL this time.

Yeah, it should be good now that the rules on what can and cannot classify as IRL have been finalised- prevents people from entering things like Garvin's piece of scrap in BB1.
I still think that I could've kicked a hole in the side of that...thing in one go.

[NFX]

Yeah. It's a shame that he edged you out with a substandard DSL bot that probably couldn't beat COID. Good job he appears to have vanished. Personally, I think there's still a few things needed to be ironed out with the IRL building style that some users exploit (*cough*Naryar*cough*), but on the whole it's moving forward. =) It's better than just a wall of razors, in my view. Be good to see who comes up with what for this one.

I agree.

(off-topic) Hey, Boss. Have you seen the rip-off I made of your bot (War<expletive>) in my showcase yet? :3

Yeah. To be honest, I see no reason why it should have even been considered for the tournament, and I'm just as glad as anyone that he's gone.
But yes, that's why I like the IRL and replica styles- there's more to it than just spamming one weapon over and over, allowing to actually build designs that are like the ones on the TV.
Hence, once I host my first tournament, I'm planning for it to be a HW IRL one, with side-events a bit like those of RW Extreme. Its concept name is the GF Cup.

DP: SHW Prototype built- just need to iron out any faults and paint it now.

[Badnik96]

Sending a quick LW just to get a spot, will send a real entry tomorrow.

[FOTEPX]

Thinking of remaking Cerberus from the ground up and entering that as my SHW.

(Might make a side hammer or perhaps even a rammer instead though)

[Jonzu95]

Entry sent.

To be honest, that sounds cheating.

I'd be inclined to agree, it sounds like you're cheating someone out of a spot.

If Ounce does snatch the last HW spot, then just stick my HW into the SHW bracket. It's all in good fun, and it would probably help make up the numbers a little bit. =)

You mean like with Super Megabyte and Thud from RW Series 2?

[FOTEPX]

Just sent my SHW. Near-Indestructable front? Check. Metal Hinge wedges? Check. 406KG of spinning pain? Check.

[SKBT]

Rule bending robot? Check....

[NFX]

Metal Hinge wedges? Check.

Poor show.

For shame.
