MY ENTRIES
I'm entering with these:

Let me know if I need to change anything.

These rules now cannot change, and this is now a signups thread. Go go go :D

Rules 'n' shizzle.

I thought that you weren't accepting tournaments until you'd finalised a set of hosting rules?

[GoldenFox93]

I might give this another shot.

Quiet child.

[MassimoV]

Besides from Voltergeist not self righting, Senstro's disc not being IRL, and Playzooki's joke bots, I'm all caught up right now.

[helloface]

I have an idea for a "Four Horseman" theme.

[Pressure]

Expect to see a few bots from me.

the hw was whoop whoop v2 accept it.

[Badnik96]

I'll make some stuff this week

[akshaylan]

I'll probably just enter Death Incarnate V.2 'cause it's my most successful bot. Then I might make a new bot for future tournaments.

[Scrapyard24c]

Remember there's multiple weight classes so don't forget about Lightweight, Middleweight, and Super Heavyweight robots.

And should I be successful in any of these I will eat my metaphorical hat

[Enigm@]

i'mma make an enture team sunny d

[HurricaneAndrew]

New HW sent.

[AlexGRFan97]

You know how I said I was ready a while ago? I sort of lied.

My LW is staying the same. It showed promise in the grudge matches, but if it loses first round again, I'm replacing it for BB9. My MW is getting rebuilt. The fact it was unable to turn quickly enough in PNaTI against Mad Max shows I need to shorten the wheelbase, beef up the defences and if possible, give it 4 NPC drive. My HW is almost entirely rebuilt, and is possibly my best robot yet. All I need to do is skin it and make a rammer variant. My SHW is almost completed and will be almost identical to last time, aside from the drivetrain.

[Enigm@]

seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent

[FOTEPX]

Sent. Oh yeah.

[Pressure]

MassimoV, I trust you still have Billet 5? I'd like to re-enter it in LW. Would save me having to send it again.

I will make a new MW though.

The new rules will not effect Major League tournaments. So if you want to run your tournament, go and contribute to the plans.
Also, working on a new team. :)
