Without wanting to sound like a d***, I think mine was probably a little better than that. I'll have another go.

Aren't you using Wham's new arena? I thought the walls were already pretty low on that.

Yeah I can launch things OOTA pretty easily in Wham's arena, especially with a judge burst

Yeah, I am. Sometimes I'm still having problems even with Judge Burst.

Also... Thanks to Rob, Dantomkia and Spitfire are ready!

You don't want it to be ridiculously easy, mind.

I say don't change anything. If somebody manages to get the tricker OOTAs, then they've made a good flipper and deserve it. Lower and allow anybody with a Judge burst to do it, and it somewhat cheapens it.

Edit: Also, I thought M2 had already been made by someone?

Also, just letting you guys know.

I'm fine with starting this without Panzer & Mega Morg. I mainly need the seeded bots, M2 & The Grim Reaper.

Who would be taking their place then? I'm assuming this leaves 2 spots. Bye-bots?

There are already 100 Replica spots filled, so no need to worry about that.

The Grim Reaper has been approved.

Made by one of my favourite guys, Rob Collins!  :gawe:

M2 left and I'll be happy to open the signups.  :approve:
