Bot is attached to this post.

Excuse me, but I already did this before a few other people sent. Heck, it's on the second page!

Yeah I know

realistically we should be in the main tournament not in the wildcard battle so I think the host should rethink who has sent thier robot first.

I imagine he was assuming that people would send him their bots via PM, instead of getting them lost under various other posts in the thread. I wouldn't hold the blame squarely on Ribbs here at all, personally. If you had sent him a PM with your bots, then we wouldn't be in this situation right now.

RpJk · « **Reply #65 on:** June 06, 2011, 10:32:12 AM »

But to me it is easier to put them in the bot exchange.

And then send him a PM with the link to your robot in the Bot Exchange. He won't download your bot if he doesn't know it's there.

I cant imagine why you would :P

Ok I sent him the link so hopefully I can get in at the last minute.

Unfortunately the bot exchange hasn't worked for me ever since Mechapocalypse (Yeah, basically I did an update and uploaded it but it was apparently non-existent on the bot exchange).
Still I PM'd him about my bot's whereabouts. It'll be interesting to see the opposition in the wildcard if my entry is denied entry to the initial entry list.

I will send something new soon 090901.

Now I think I'm paranoid about the length of the wedge of my bot. If it's a 20cm extender it's gonna be easily defeated XD

Not necessarily. When I shortened the wedges on Parabolic Trajectory 2 from 100cm to 60cm, they became considerably more effective. Plus it looked cooler. =D

Wow, this filled up quickly

With the looks I agree but I tested both designs and the 40cm extender was considerably more wedgey than the 20cm one... It couldn't even get under my wedge test bot (One of TX's MW popups)

My bot has a alright paintjob. That's pretty much all it has going for it.

NFX · « **Reply #77 on:** June 06, 2011, 01:56:54 PM »

I think my robot is an excellent all-rounder, personally.

madman3 · « **Reply #78 on:** June 06, 2011, 01:58:42 PM »

My bot has tonnes of frontal protection but also Plastic, ironically.

Vertigo · « **Reply #79 on:** June 06, 2011, 02:00:54 PM »

Hope there are lots of exposed chassis
