Hmm, I'll have to see what people think aboot this.  I thought 1WDs were most common in sub-LW classes.

How about "no 1 wheel HS"?  That means 1 wheel pistonbots or whatever other wacky nonsense are still okay.  Yay or stupid?

I really think 2wd should be minimum because giving up a wheel is basically just freeing up 30kg more of weapons. It's not hard to skirt around the controlled movement restriction with just 1 wheel. I mean it's your tournament but its a very slippery slope imo.

Okay, since it seems like noone else has any opinions about the issue, I've added a "no 1 wheeled bots" rule.

1WD is pretty borderline in LW and inconsequential in MW and HW, since a well-built popup can just slide underneath and hit the chassis in most cases. They're pretty OP in anything below LW though. I'm fine with it being banned in LW though.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Signups are planned to run until December, so hopefully that's long enough.
