I'll probably re-enter The Highlander and Cage Of Mirrors with a few tweaks. LW, not too sure, SHW, no idea.

I will enter, but I'm thinking about making fresh bots for it. I'll see..

Why no Trov Glitch? I see no reason against it. I use it on my cool drum designs D:

You can't make part of a chassis with 0 width IRL.
You can't do that with the Trov Glitch either.

Give me an example of how you would use it IRL. If you can do that, I'll allow it.


By the way, don't say that I'm rushing myself. The reason most tournaments run slowly is because the host has things going on in their personal life, so they pace themselves, say they record 1 or 2 matches a day. With me, I record as many as possible in that day mostly because I have no personal life and can use the time to my advantage. I could run 10 tournaments in a month if I tried, but I have no problem with slowing down the production if you guys wish.

If that was relating to my post, then you've misunderstood it, or I wasn't specific enough. I am not talking about the filming of the fights and the speed of the tournaments itself. I was referring to the chaotic nature of the sign ups, which were rushed through, and resulted in the first 3-4 pages of the SBV being you fixing the splashes and people fighting about who should have gotten which spot. THAT is the issue which always seems to be present in these tournaments, hopefully that can be sorted out this time.

To sum up, the sign ups are where things need slowing down and organising, not the production and posting of videos. That last part is where you should be commended. :approve:

I wasn't saying this would be the only time I'd slow down, I was going to do this again at the end of signups. It's just that I can't change the rules during signups, so for example S_M might convince me to use the Trov Glitch, and I wouldn't be able to change that during signups.

i has an idea:
How about every week you do a match for each weight class like an episode of battlebots. :gawe:

I wouldn't like to slow down that much, but I could do a match every day or every other day...?

I still have to make my SHW. I've got the rest of my team sorted out, though. I'm just praying signups don't open while I'm asleep.
