Stock MW..can't build in stock MW for the life of me..

So I probably wont enter. Sorry, vert.

      - Only one of your bots can be a Popup/Horizontal Spinner
     
      - Bots are divided into the following categories:
        Popup, Spinner, Flipper, Hammer, SNS, Crawler, Juggler, Rammer/Wammer/Poker
        These designs can only be used once, one on each bot

Isn't this kind of redundant?

Spinner counts VS, HS, FS etc :p

Well, at least the Popup.
Signatures are displayed at the bottom of each post or personal message. BBCode and smileys may be used in your signature.

Yes you can only enter either a Popup or a HS (you don't have to enter either)
However, you can enter a popup and VS

Anyways, unless someone can come up with something better, RoboLeague it is!

I'd enter this, if I'd be allowed to :3
Do it  :3
I'd enter this, if I'd be allowed to :3
Well I won't disallow it :P
ALRIGHT, I WILL 8D
Excellent! Will you marry me?  :3
Sure

Which gives me my idea for my bot, for some reason :3
OK then- I look forward to seeing how the robot progresses  :3

Arena Skinned:

Just a thought, would anyone be able to put a pit in it?

Ah, I tried editing arenas for SkAI High and failed completely XD

I just thought if it weren't to hard, somebody someone could put a pit on the 4th starting point

Well played, SD.

I think I'll enter, but I'm worried about your modified havok restart rule. I realize it's to prevent bots that are just spinning walls of weaponry, but in my experience, havok explosions can happen fairly randomly to any bot. I'd leave a little room for "fluke" havoks for bots that normally would not go berserk, just to be fair.

Like for example, a rammer can havok when ramming an HS. It happens fairly regularly, and the rammer would normally not havok. and generally is a fairly stable design.
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Sounds cool. If you make a 2nd one where it's DSL I'll do it, but I'll spectate for this one.

Good point, I'll take that into consideration, and see what others have to say

Does give those who can AI a bit of an unfair advantage, though.

Well, its cause I don't want it filled with 3 rubbish bots from one person, it was the only way I could think of preventing it
Plus, I don't want to AI 45 bots :P

Although, what about those who can't AI, but you know are capable of producing decent bots?
