Church Camp.

Hey! I NEED a reserved spot! Another reason I missed this was because I was at Church Camp.

No, you <expletive>ing don't NEED a reserved spot. If you wanted a spot, then you should have sent a bot, like everyone else did.

I think it's bad luck on the part of people who have missed out legitimately, but to those who're complaining about not having a spot, here's what you can do. Help Freeziez. Help him to make this a short, sweet successful tournament. It'd be impossible to predict if this will ever get to the stage where it's a Major tournament, and thus more available slots, but by helping him, rather than just making noise, you'll at least be contributing to the success of it.

That's a good idea :3

Also, I've got the first prototype of my entry up and running. Its weapons are good, but it's a bit problematic in its poor wedge, and that it loses manouverability when flipped.

Guys, have you even seen the battlebots 2.0 arena? It's not exactly... flat in the middle.

Which is why fast boxes with bad wedges are actually good.

6 npc fast + hypnos work wonders.

Is everyone going to have those, then?

EDIT: And for some reason, I can't build a full drum. When I attach a drum piece onto another, I can't put anything onto it. Why?

NPC Fast + Slim wheels...
:S

Seems like the most likely reason. However, I've built drums that way before, and I didn't have any problems, so I suspect it might have something to do with attachment points.

What were you trying to attach to what?

I was trying to attach a medium drum to another medium drum. I then tried to attach beater bars to the first one, which I did, but I couldn't attach them to the second one along the line.

It'll be the rule of 7.

Oh God, that's annoying. If there's anything I hate in RA2 more than that ridiculous rule, I've yet to find it.
