why don`t we use the system (I can`t remember who it was) suggested?
everyone sends the bot in, freez makes a splash and a poll. the 16 bots with the most votes will be in. (14 in this case cause of Mike and me)

I'm in strong support of this.  Those 14 spaces are going to fill up FAST in a "first come first serve" setup, and this will also help us prevent arguments about "unrealistic"

...I actually support that idea, putting a poll up now.

Woot! The poll system is going to make this tourney waaaaaaay better. 

And hopefully it will motivate some builders to try a bit harder.

I am totally entering this now that you are doing the pre-vote.

Are we allowed to pick our own pose?  When I'm showing off a cardboard replica I put an unnecessary amount of work into selecting the right angle and light.

JUDGING
- Fights will be judged on significant attacks.
- Fights will be judged on a spectrum of 45 points.
- Fights will be judged by me, TBA and TBA
- All other judging will follow the RFL Judging guidelines.
Please clarify further. You say you will follow RFL guidelines yet use a completely different system. This got me last time as I thought damage would count. In reality everything hinges on "significant attacks" (.i.e favouring fast bots).
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

Eh, do ou know how to add decals in-game through the paint editor?


If you do then you can get the decals into the game and then add them like any other decal.
