Wait, what ? No wedges ? And how are we supposed to survive HnM 4 since it goes through Ti halfsheets easily ?

Yup, but a wedgeless, weaponless bot is going to fail against any NAR AI v2.0 HW, excepted the less damaging ones (i am notably thinking Critical Emergency), yet alone HnM 4...

Also we know the arenas for some of the bots but what are the other arenas ?

Also when i see the rules i can see every bot here being a super fast invertible pusher with massive loads of armor and a few JXs.

But that's just me... and quite the challenge as well. But challenges are good :D

-No invertability
-Must have a SHRiMech
-No wedges
Any more questions Naryar?
The point is to not beat HnM 4 but to last longer than the others.

I won't. And it's not skirt hinge armor, since SKA isn't effective against such attacks.

Stop asking for attention in such a generic way :P

No need to worry though... it IS really an interesting idea, you'll most likely have more than 5 entrants.
