As much as I trust SKBT and all, and I know he would do it fairly

By letting him change his bot you are opening up a whole can of worms, not just in this, but in other tourneys also

I don't see how so...

This is a case of a flaw in the game causing problems with the bot, it's not a flaw with the bot, and therefore it's not really fair that SKBT be punished for it.

Besides, I can't see this being abused, i'm sure the host would quickly realise any changes to the bot other than a slightly larger chassis, and in turn disallow them from using the edited bot.

I can't see how this system is open to abuse, in all honesty. If the bot is received, then that means the entrant was happy enough for it to take part. If the only problem is havoking in a certain manner, and it's been established that the problem is the size of the chassis, then they should be allowed to use what weight they have left to enlarge the chassis only. All the other components must remain the same, I think that's a pretty fair ruling on it.

I've sent a PM to SKBT explaining that he could "fix" his bot already.

Well I've recently recieved SKBT's entry again, but it still havoks and SKBT said I can DQ him if it didn't work so SKBT is disqualified. The Fight to the Finish will be Urjak vs Martymidget and will come soon.

I apologize for the delay in videos due to this situation and I take full responsability. I will try my best so nothing like this happens again next tournament I do.

No, Massimo's bot is good, your's is the worst in the tournament, and I can't wait to see it get beaten to a pulp.
Maybe that will make you shut up and stop being so arrogant.

well I was late to read this but 2 things could have been tried

1) Re-import/ export the robot in the game that the robot is havoking in

2) Remove the wheels and re-place them in the game that the robot is havoking in (also try rotating the wheels before attaching)

but to late now..

Seems really dodgy though.. clean game?

I remember my robots always acted really odd in Badniks tournaments (Revolutionist and Tentomushi) but no cause was ever looked into..

Could it be possible that different machines setups and what not affect havoking in RA2?
Similair to how using windows 7 makes it harder to stack?
