Pretty confident.

Urjak's bot is unrealistic though, I think. What is would the chassis height be if you cut off a bit off the bot to make it realistic?

Also, super work Joe!

Silly Russian Roulette, it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.
And that is a very nice splash Joeblo.

Looks like some awesome bots in the mix. My favourite is probably Cube Or Cuboid.

I reckon I might be in with a decent chance, my biggest worry might be VS's, though.

Ok, this is kinda worrying now. My wedges s-s-s-s-uuuuuck and I'm helpless to all these fast rammers. Probably gonna lose in the first or second round.

I built my robot in under an hour, so I can't say much about it. I don't think it's the worst SNS in this, but it's not the best either.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

I wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out.

It's not that the disc goes through the chassis, it's that if the top of the chassis was lowered, the half-sheet wouldn't be attachable.

I addressed this ages ago....

1. nothing occupies the space the disc crosses

2. if you push it down to the minimum height the disc just clears

Both combined makes it legal enough so you can all stop before you blow it out of proportion... some other robots are worse... just not so obvious.

The minimum height to attach to the baseplate.. manually setting it in the bot file is low enough.

I must have missed it where you said if you lowered the height it was ok. Sorry.

I guess if it was accepted it must have been okay. I think I remember him telling me that one of my razors nicked a battery or something, so I can't really complain about minor unrealism.

All things considered, it's not a half bad mix of bot types.
