Can't believe I didn't get in because of half of these no-names
Quoted for truth.
 
There's nothing that annoys me in BBEANS more than these nobodies popping up out of the woodwork to waste the spaces of good users with these-  :SFTW  and then disappearing into thin air, safe in the knowledge that they've wasted everyone's time.
 
For the next series, I recommend a minimum amount of posts in an account to enter (IE. 50) to prevent these parasites leeching spaces off worthwhile users. An entry fee if you will.

I agree on the first part, but-

-Post count is certainly not proportional to DSL bot building skill
-Click won't accept this.

Haha this is going in the BBEANS5 way of users BAWing because some unskilled n00bs enter and waste place.

Look, someone told me "You should enter, after all, it's BBEANS.", so I did. That's pretty much it.

GF93, this is what Click said in BBEANS 5, when people were trumpeting the same thing:

[rant]
One thing I will not do, however, is exclude people based on their experience or their quality.  I don't want BBEANS becoming some exclusive, elitist "club".  Maybe it's the biggest and most prestigious tourney here, but it's always been open to anybody. If I didn't let in newbies, we wouldn't have people like somestrangeguy (who was totally unknown when he first entered BBEANS3 as Destroyer), or Sage (who was still a newbie and wasn't yet making the killer bots he does now), or Phlox and Barbie (who weren't even registered on the forum when they entered BBEANS1), and the list goes on.  My point is, it's good to give the newbies a chance, even if their bots are SFTWs.  Just look at Phlox and Barbie's BBEANS1 bots and compare them to their BBEANS3 bots.

ok, based on the number of posts against my bot (atleast saying it won't go far) people will be suprised at how far it goes! weapon is powered by a perm 80, low enough to hit hammerhead shark :biggrin. soooo... it's better than you think...
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

Whatever. A lot of guys did better (or worse) than I expected. But some bots are just plain weird...
1.8 / Somestrangeguy:Cool. Small chassis, should do well. But is it invertible??
4Head / Hurricaneandrew:A worse version of 1.8 except in invertability.
Acrornia3 / FOTEPX:Will this own due to weaponry of get owned because of no wedges? we will see...
AHHHHHHhh COME ON!! / Sparkey98:SFTW. I expected at least an effort from Sparkey.
All Or Nothing / Redline:Compact, lots of sharp edges. Should do better.
AntonYYYm / lloop D lloop: Average, nothing more...
Ataxia / Robosh4rk:Cool, it's not a popup this time! Top 10 for sure.
Bane X / Urjak:0_0 I will lose to this beast...
Biridium / ashman12:Ash is getting better, way better than what I expected.
Bisector / Clickbeetle: I made a copy of Bisector on my computer and Final Z lost to it so he will beat me.
Blabber-mouth / Zog:Wait, does that use a chassis from RFS AI??????????? Another SFTW.
Blaze Line / STC: Not the worst popup but needs wedge work.
Blood Orange / Craaig: This is just TOIATF with a different skin. Will do well.
Bot with MOVING Spikes / 090901: Will lose to me, as my Ai'ed bot beat his.
Bot with spinny thingy / Bubbleman: better than I expected, still not that good though.
Claw Cube 3 / Stagfish:Needs front armor.
Come Get Some / Alterer of Reality:Reminds me of the first Dizzy Dragon with flails. Not bad though.
Conficker / Sys32:Hey, another WTT entry! Will outweapon everything but hammers and fast popups will kill it.
Death of Angles 2 / Sage: I have no doubts about this bot's power...
Deinonychus / Wings: Average, but will get its drive ripped off by the first popup it fights.
Elle Driver / Jack Daniels: Still is really cool.
Final Z / Badnik96: It might be GHEY but it will own half of the bots here.
Flux / 40757: Yay mini hazcon! Could be better but for 40757's first attempt at DSL its not bad.
Guardian Angels / trumpetguy: Will get outweaponed fast.
Hredder 6.6 / Squirrel Monkey: Another sweet popup.
Ice Tornado / The Ounce: I can beat it but it can beat most of the competition.
Infection 4 / Pwnator: Can it do as well as its older brother in RIP? Probably.
kill box / timothy700: Better than I expected but still not too good.
Killer Green Yoshi / 027LB: Yeah, not that good. It has a TWM3R2 under the hood so it should spin fast.
Kurt Rambis / COOLRUNNER87: Not the worst rammer, not the best either.
Lil Eager V2 / Little lost bot: Another SFTW, at least it has wheelguards.
Meteorite / Triton: Not a bad attempt by Triton, will get out weaponed fast.
Minifridge 4 / GK: Another awesome flail SS, not the best though.
Minor Launch Platform MK2 / R1885: Meh, this is a popup fest. Will lose to SM and Sage.
Missile Test / Jonzu95: The arena will help Jonzu out big time...
Moving Violation / Kill343gs Not bad, but could be better.
Mutant Kabuto / Sonny Ressetti: It's Resetti, but he should stick to replicas.
New Ruin / Firebeetle: YAY New Blue Ruin! Cool, but is it enough to defend his title?
N-Trench / mjrobots: Normals and exposed weapons, reminds me of 493-1023 for some reason..
Power Surge / Flying_Chao: Below average SnS, but its the first thing F_C's made since CC2 so I'll give him a break.
Power Surge 3 / d-lark: For the first time in history, two robots have entered a BBEANS with the EXACT SAME NAME!!!!! The better Power Surge.
Precision impact / Pressure: Cool mohawk but not nearly enough weapons.
Predator / JoeBlo: NORMALS but cool ronin flag. Should have entered FH3 though...
Primal Instincts X / inplabth:The only hammer bot? Seriously? cool though.
Psychoblade / Scorpio: The normals are facing the wrong way. Otherwise, it looks OK.
ReActive / MikeNCR: I'm scared...
Reier's Avatar / russian roulette: Name win, extender fail, will fall to the first popup...
Resentful Princess 2 / Virus Bomb:Sick and powerful.
Sawzal / Shish-kabot: Only SnSnS here, but will it be enough? Weapons say yes, extenders say no.
Shish-kebab 2 / incredirobotwars: It does damage, I'll give it that...
Stanley 2 / Somebody: I WILL BEAT YOU!!!!1 or not...
Star Dust / 123Savethewhales: Not bad, best of the VS.
Terrible Sight / Naryar: is hinge armor really a good idea?
That Spike Thing / TeamXtreemer: Worst SS.
The Mini Warrior / Eggman249: Doesn't really look like E249 learned anything from TBW's failure...
The Strike of a Ninja / Doomkiller: Another mini Hazcon but better than Flux.
The Telephone Effect / WhamettNuht:Ok, but could use a smaller chassis.
Tomcat II / -Xile-:Way better than I expected him to do, will it be enough to secure a win?
Trance Hazard / Larrain: Nice, but will get out weaponed quickly.
Trigger Happy / Natef: Better than Tsunami but does it have a good wedge?
What Sheck Spinner? / H@zm47:Cooooooool. It uses the Trov. Glitch to?
Your final moment / Powerrave: Meh, average...
Zombie Pirate Ninja / NFX:Actually not the worst SFTW. Cool DTK-style chassis too.
Wildcards:
Mass Opression / Scrap Daddy: This guy just never ceases to amaze me.
Mr. Punch / Goldenfox93: Better than I expected but is the oversized chassis a good idea?
S Cargo / Reier: Winner of the wild card.
Shilka / Temi: Cool but needs a better wedge.

Blood Orange / Craaig: This is just TOIATF with a different skin.

No it isn't.

I am pleased at the amount of WTT bots/rebuilds though.

I count:
  • Blood Orange
  • Conficker
  • Minifridge
  • S Cargo
  • Free Hugs 3 (Which was in this until JoeBlo changed his bot)
My above post explains everything about everything.

No it isn't.

G.K. is correct, there are several differences, one of them makes it a much better fighter from the start. Complete rebuild too, generally better in all ways.

Most of the changes (can't remember all) are that the chassis is smaller, skirts are stronger, everything is attached more efficiently and it falls flat instead of on the tips of the skirts. I think the drive motors might be different too, but don't quote me on that.

Sorry Goldenfox, but I agree with Clickbeetle. You should be allowed to enter, no matter what skill level you are. How will you learn if you aren't able to enter tourneys until you are of higher level?

You snooze you lose

That makes a lot of sense.

Meh, It's OK Nate. I guess everyone's entitled to opinions. We live in free countries don't we?
 
It's just I'm angry to be placed in a division where I will almost certainly lose.
