there is one question i have tho, it may be quite stupid, but since i never participated in any of these, how are we going to know which bots we'll have to rebuild, will it be posted on the thread itself, sent by PM, just asking this for clarification
If I remember correctly, He posts here with the list and you check this thread and hope to God you got something good.

Edit: Do'h! Still slow.

Or you could get Geice and have a grand old time trying to make a near-perfect bot

Random.org is a tyrant ruler. Looking back at BTTB 2's draw, Gazea, Bubbleman, Ounce and Marty really got the tough end of the stick.

well, with skirt hinges 'n' that it wasn't the worst thing ever. When Scorpion got it in BTTB 3 though.... stock Wild Cube was fun.

I'll come out of lurking for this. Should be a nice bit of nostalgia.

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

6 to go till we've filled a 24-person bracket! :)

Powerrave hasn't responded to my PM's and frankly hasn't been active in a long time, so his spot has been withdrawn. If he does come out of the woodwork before signups close he can always have it back.

I have just awoken - signups will close TODAY when I get back home after rehearsals at around ~6pm GMT. At that point I will post the randomised list of who has been given what.
