I really think my Heavyweight could take it out. But I am not to sure about the upgraged Ryu.

Replacing bots goes by time of submission only, I think. Updating them, not sure. If it's an entirely different robot, then I would consider that placeholding, and thus cheating someone else out of a spot.

By the way, why is Hard Bot in the Lightweight bracket if his robot is illegal, and there are other people wanting to enter?

BLARGH. STOP POSTING STUFF. I tried to post seven posts ago.

It now has a chance against flippers :P

I hope all 16 bots are realistic enough, I'd hate it if some nice bots were bumped out by "questionables".
But I guess it goes with luck of the time zones, I sent my bots literally the second I was awake and missed out.

My original bot is fine and perfectly within the IRL spirit and thus not a "placeholder". I would simply prefer to use a different bot. I'm happy to do either.

Haha Same thing happened to me, anyway yeah placeholding is cheating and I feel like we talked about this before.

I really don't like my HW, I see it as questionably unfair because you pretty much never find flamethrowers on the outside of the bot. And And I honestly think it won't get very far in the tourney, anyway.

I would be happy to step aside to let S_M in, if that's okay with freez and if S_M would want to.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #286 on:** December 04, 2011, 11:47:08 AM »

I'd personally love to but only if you really want to smashy. Is your bot in your showcase?

smashysmashy · « **Reply #287 on:** December 04, 2011, 11:47:45 AM »

No. I thought people may try to whack it as being cheating (with the flamethrowers) so I sent the bot in secret and left it.

I gave him 3 days to update, and if he doesn't enter in that time, PR gets his spot.

I'd rather have you either send an update or not bother at all, just so as to not cause any more controversy.

freez, you okay with me letting S_M in?

I guess so, if that's what you want.

We shold post the splashes first and any "questionable" bots (as voted by 5 or more people) should get replaced by more IRL entries.

Or something like that.

Oh great now I'm not in at all. =[

Define "update"

Modifying the original bot without drastically changing its shape or bot type.

Bleh, keep it how it is then.

Sounds like people are butthurt because my SHW is borderline.

I thought it was fine, actually. If it fought The Final Sign of Evil, that'd be epic.
