It's not the person's absolute first bot, it's the first they showcased, in case people were confused.

It's the only one I knew/could remember.

In response to your IM question, if people showcase multiple bots, then its the very first that is used. So Vroooooom for you.

So when you have all entrants, they will be randomised and assigned to other entrants to make their bots?

Who is voting DSL?
 
Seriusly, half of them won't even enter, and we need a stock tournament right now.
 
And as Nar said, it adds to the feel of NW on crack.

DSL doesn't fit with this tournament, and as Jack (Not Nary... SORRY!) said:
 
Btw I choose stock in the poll.  Because everyone starts at stock. It is the true beginning.  Besides I am totally itching to take a god-awful noob bot and make it competitive.  This will be like Noob Warz on crack.

Stock, The beginning of every RA2 game. The first bots, arenas, components. Even if you didn't play it, it was there.
 
It all started with stock, and stock is pretty much being left out with the BBEANS hype. Let's have it stock!
