- 1 Havok restart, 2nd time eliminated
- No AAM, NCR glitch, or any other glitch that makes the bot unrealistic
- Trov Glitch is allowed, don't abuse it
- You are allowed to BFE as long as the bot stays realistic
- Robots must look as close to IRL designs as possible. (No unrealistic weapon sizes, disproportionate designs.)
- No Crawlers
- Bots with treads get a 60 kg weight cushion.
- It is recomended that your bot(s) have a sponsor decal, but it's not necessary (these can be a help if you're lazy):

I never really liked battlebots that much however it looks like I'll hop on to this.

EDIT: Would you allow the BBC to be my sponsor?

ooo it's been a while since I entered one of these!

Definitely going to enter this once it enters the signup phase.  In the meantime, I'm off to go build some new bots.

Apart from the name, arena and weightclasses this has nothing to do with the TV show. I still don't understand your negativity towards BB.

Post by: 090901 on February 12, 2015, 10:13:21 PM
I think you should just make it be where you make the final call on the wedges, a rule like that doesn't help at all since people will still make ugly-bloop wedges. For example, I want to enter this bot (http://i.imgur.com/4Xv8MWt.png), but under the current rule it wouldn't be allowed  and I don't want to raise the wedge as it would look ugly as bloop. Can someone give me a reason other than "IT MAKES THE WEDGE BETTER!!!!" (Protip: it doesn't, plus with using 3 attachment points the wedge is going to suck anyways) as to why they should be not allowed?

I slightly agree as well. I've seen bots with flat wedges like the bot 09 gave IRL.

I believe they would be since Alex did this for Articulator in Battlebots 6 & 8.

It begins.
This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. You have 9 months. :)

Sent my MW. Just LW to go now. Not sure whether I'll rebuild BTT again or make something new.

(DP)

Finished my LW build, just needs skinnage. Gunning for that title this time.

I'm also not entirely happy with the MW I sent and will probably get an update in before signups close.

No it is. I just made that error because I was busy the day I received the bot.

Also 5 days left.

I don't know about you MassimoV, but I'd give serious thought about extending the sign up date deadline due to the lack of entries. 
Title: Re: Battlebots X - Signups *5 Days*
Post by: RedAce on March 19, 2015, 06:44:57 AM
I agree. It's very strange. I guess that there isn't as many active members and some just procrastinate to the last day anyway. Yet this might be the last Battlebots to be hosted, so I have no idea what could happen.

Title: Re: Battlebots X - Signups *11 Days*
Post by: MassimoV on March 19, 2015, 08:59:14 PM
Alright I extended the deadline by a week just because I know there are a few people who have expressed interest but haven't sent anything yet so we'll see if it makes any difference.
Title: Re: Battlebots X - Signups *11 Days*
Post by: The Ounce on March 19, 2015, 09:36:53 PM
I have a LW and a MW that are pretty much ready, the LW just needs to be skinned and the MW needs some AI fine-tuning.  I have a HW that I'm considering, but at the moment it doesn't look that good and is honestly very tryhardy.  I have no idea what to do for my SHW entry.

Well I kind of go by the philosophy of if it isn't broken, don't fix it.  ( I know Voltergeist is a bit outdated and broken so I may have a replacement ready soon though)

Made a replacement for Voltergeist, it's a horizontal bar spinner named Texarkana Twister.
The blade on it may not spin as fast as some but it has a long reach and a lot of weight behind it.

I have a LW and MW ready to go, but I've been busy with work and haven't gotten around to sending them. Whoops.

Can't make a HW and SHW that I'm happy with either, still very rusty in building. But I'm home ill this afternoon so I'm gonna work on some and hopefully get them sent by the weekend.
