Do it just after semi finals....

Will there be any awards? Like in Robot wars s1-7.

There are no semi-finals, read the tournament format...

Might do awards if I feel like it

May potentially change the weight limit over the next few days, keep your eyes peeled.

In that case, are you planning to lower or increase the weight limit? I need to know this, as my robot is near the current weight limit anyway.

Hi guys, just been having a few conflicting thoughts.

The weight limit will stay fixed at 600kg, and I've also put the following into the first post, as a genuine heartfelt plea to every potential entrant.

To help this tournament be a true event to remember, please, consider entering a robot never seen in any other tournament, whether the robot is a CW by design or an upgraded MW/downgraded HW. When I gave a 2500kg weight limit for the House Robots, I received some amazing, unique designs. Let's do the same in the CW category :D
A nice theme is also encouraged! Skin your bot, give it some real personality, then we can make the episodes something not only RA2 fans will enjoy, but Robot Combat fans in general, and show the entire community how great GTM is.
Thank you so much, let's make this tournament a real special occasion! <3

People make AW, BW, LW and MW IRL bots, I don't think CW is 'too low' compared to any of those.

I hate to be obnoxious, but do you know whether or not my prototype ring-spinner design will be acceptable?
