The weight limit for a LW is 250 so yeah, that's probably an issue.

HW is way too underweight.

The LW has a static spike and has no way to self right. So I decided the high weight would work for the LW. But the mid wheels will probably happen if weight is an issue. Is the HW okay?
The LW is overweight and the HW is extremely underweight

May I also point out that a screenshot of the robots from that sort of distance reminds me of Extreme Destruction for the GBA?  :dumb)

Whilst not explicitly banned, I'm going to double check. Would a HW spinner built to IRL restrictions (I.e 2 teeth maximum on the disc) be acceptable?

I have a whole bunch of potential bots for this, I could probably fill up half the bracket.  :confused:

I don't see why not. It's not like spinners are an exclusively American design.

True, even some of the big name bots from Robot Wars were spinners

It's not going to be about specific 'bot types being banned, I think.

Wham would much rather have more variety than just Spinner vs Spinner vs Spinner vs Spinner banging about the place, I expect.

I'm still torn between a flipper and an axe. Flippers are awesome, and I think Wham's lowered the arena wall, but you don't see many axes in tournaments.....

Well my entry is going to be an axe. Testing it in Helloface's Tournament. Hoping to fine tune it for this though

I thought it was very Robot Wars-esque.
I'm probably going to enter a spiked axe.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

Are you going to judge the fights yourself or leave it to the game to decide on points? The game isn't really in favour of flippers.

Although I haven't been in the forum for a while, I've watched Robot Wars since the age of 4 and I've watched all series of Robot Wars twice. I'm definitely interested in judging.
Oh I'll be doing some banging.......

It will probably get more interest after the RW Pack is released, just give it a little bit.
