[Mr. AS]

Only in RA2: Chocolate (yes, we get it, you entered it to prove that a below-average standard bot could be classed as IRL)

funny thing is that chocolate is at least a year and a half old.

[helloface]

Lucky!: Tuna Can ( Totally exposed, but somehow the beaters were able to fend off the opponents )
Didn't See It Coming: Ketchup ( Beaten by "I have been expecting you". Even the name of that bot makes me laugh, and Ketchup got beaten by it in the weirdest possible way )
Nice Skin, Bro: Billet 5 ( I just think it goes really well with the bot )
Best Engineered: Super Komodo ( Isn't it obvious? )
IRL: Ironside Mk. VI ( So cool )
Only In RA2: Chocolate ( Sorry AS, but I really hate this bot )
Best Match: My First SHW vs IMpact ( for obvious reasons )
Crowd Favourite: 090901 2011 Give half a vote to Bailiff, and the other half to Pythagora. Don't see many successful Hammers/Flippers, and I really wanted those bots to win )
World's Smallest Violin Award: Tobasco ( SO CHEAP )

Nah, vote for whatever.

A message to everyone who wanted my SHW bot to die especially you Alex:

I almost haven't done tests for it apart for testing the resistance of the DSL bars i placed for protecting the flippermakers holding my hammers ,so i had no clue that they was THAT much OP

and i learned about them very lately in the signups

So yeah, i would not call that "exploiting a loophole"
