I'm not sure why SHW always gets less interest. I mean, what's wrong with fast, heavily weaponed, heavily armoured tanks?
just like how real battlebots was, they take more time to build.

My SHW took less time to build than my lightweight.

It probably shows.

I'll go enter my Articulator in this competition. But first, are we allowed to use interchangeable weapons or can I only bring one configuration? BTW, it's a middleweight and I haven't painted it yet.

I asked and he said yes so I'm assuming you can use interchangeable setups if you want.

What you can do is save the robot's design in the game and then take the robot's file and upload it to the bot exchange in the proper section.  Then you can send MassimoV a PM with a link to said robot.

Scrap, the bot exchange is dead. He has to put it in a ZIP file and upload it using a file host, then PM the link to MassimoV.

Ack, I'd had no idea they'd filled up this fast. I can definitely enter Arsonist for the HW category immediately, but is there any chance of me saving the last places for the remaining categories if I can?

It's unlimited entries. I panicked and rushed my LW thinking the brackets were nearly full when I entered too, though.

Ah, that's alright then. I've sent off my HW entry anyway, so it's just the other three I need to sort out, now.

You can only use DSL parts though. Your last one crashed my game.

Lightweight is done, now to work on the middleweight.


And no worries this time; both bots are going to be a LOT more realistic than Flood 2. Besides, I've made that one a full on DSL robot...
