What do you mean by custom components? Cheatbot2?

And Mr. Brownstone will definitely be returning to defend his title.

Both. I will make sure that none of the entries are using unbalanced components. I allow custom components because it gives us even more different designs. Besides, some Replicas use custom components because they're needed.

I'm not counting anyone in until the Replica entry list is done properly and signups are opened. I really want some suggestions what bots we should include and which should be kicked out.

In which case, I'd say the obvious option would be to cut the two fictional robots, Viper and Tenderizer, and then as the other 4, maybe Flensberger Power, Henry 2, Psychokiller and Stealth.

That's not a valid reason.

Agreed. Now we have 100 Replicas. Does anyone want to request changes?

Probably. But I probably should upload all the available components somewhere.

well after some testing 3.2 grip is ridiculously fast but if i fight a Wedged VS or a drum you can say goodbye to them
i might nerf them and put their mass to 20 kg and their grip to 2.5 and 500 Hitpoints

I think there would be interest, but you're still just planning it.

For example, my first post in this thread was me stating my interest, but you immediately said you weren't counting who was interested until you'd gotten everything sorted. Is everything sorted?
