Just realized I forgot to link to the BBEANS general rules. Under the current ruleset, custom components, cheaty AI, Trinity fliers, and Nasty Pickles are all allowed.

Hopefully you all are smart enough to know that I wouldn't actually allow any of that, but the oversight has now been remedied.

I got an idea, but it's going to be the most boring bot in existence.

No problem, see rule 4.4.

Posting my entry early as per the new tournament rules (well, not new anymore, but still implemented after my last tournament).

I will switch to regular gray maces for the tournament to avoid any possible confusion over custom components.

Part of me wants to go hug it.

No offence to C.b., but that thing might get trashed by this rammer I'm making for this. That or I might make a poker.

I hope this doesn't totally mess up anyone's entry for this... but if it does, that's why we have discussion threads posted 1+ month in advance.

I've been thinking, and with a creative chassis shape, it is still possible to make an almost impenetrable front with only 8 casters. But it's pretty much impossible with 6. Therefore, I am reducing the maximum number of casters allowed from 8 to 6.

I don't want bots with impenetrable armor. I'm only allowing casters to patch up small holes in your defense, or to toughen up the corners on your bot a little bit, or add some decent gut-ripper defense, or (gasp!) actually use them as intended for balance. Otherwise this tournament would have the potential to go on indefinitely.

I used 3 casters for rounding out balance. People will see why, soon enough...

Changing my gut-ripper design for another gut-ripper, something moar original and efficient, at least I hope.

Will send my bot this evening, in like 6 hours.
