Thinking of entering but do I have to have the Union Jack on my bot considering I'm Northern Irish? Think carefully how you answer this one Helloface.

I've moved to other forums. Under a different name. This is where it all began.

Currently building a bunch of replicas for you to pick from.

In addition to my old Tough As Nails rep, I've just showcased Humdrum, just finished building 3 Stegs To Heaven, and am now browsing Robot Wars Wiki for more to do....

An Onslaught rep. would be nice.

I'll see what I can do.

With the car steering though, I might have the same trouble as Resetti in that it'll look way too big.

I'm not Helloface but from a logical perspective, yes: It says in the rules, even us English have to add the Union Flag as well as St George's Cross, so you would have to have the Union Flag and St Patrick's Saltire, I would guess. Just hide the UF under a panel or underneath if it bothers you that much?

Someone should make a smaller steering unit. Or shrink the current one.

Would be able to push out a few more reps.

Or maybe just forget the crappy thing ever existed.  :dumb)

I don't think I'll do Onslaught, to be honest. My replica building skills are very basic.

Also can I enter a replica but not a serious competitor bot?  If so how many replicas?
You man enter as many replicas as you would like. You can have your main robot as a replica of your choice, or if you want to leave the signup space to someone else you can enter replicas without a main robot.

Thinking of entering but do I have to have the Union Jack on my bot considering I'm Northern Irish? Think carefully how you answer this one Helloface.
If you can explain to me in a pm why N. Ireland isn't part of Britain, then sure.



And remember, you may want to wait before you start making British or American replicas since those categories may be filled up with entries quickly.

On that note, signups will soon be started.

If i were you i would do judge decision if time runs out, cause i got a flipper thhis is fast pushy, and would definitively win a lot of them, it will be fair also if the people that enter the other category enters flippers, consedering that there is no OOTA capability in the Combat Zone.

Just a question while putting the finishing touches of my entry (i know that i have to wait for the signups) are interchangable weapon or flipper setups allowed ?

All AI parts, except for the blatently OP ones should be allowed tbh. Add a little extra creativity for all the people trying to make a good looking bot and something different from other IRL tourneys.
