I entered a terrible generic flipper, yaaaaaaay!
Yeah I think Jonzu's the only one not to enter a flipper so far. I'll try kicking out a VS then.

i plan on entering a wammer of sorts. it'll make sense when you all see it.

jonzu do signups work like they did in RW8 stock? as in if there are too many entries, GTM entries start replacing replicas?
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

I was thinking of entering a front-hinged flipper that I build a while ago but everyone else is entering flippers.

I suppose Robot Wars did have a lot of flippers.

It's just a case of coming up with a suitable theme and interesting weapon now...

Time to build some spinny thing that can stand up to flippers


Are ring spinners allowed?

Hey Jonzu, I made a bot that I am willing to enter, I'm just not too sure if it follows the IRL Realistic rule, (as the bracket I made for the motor slightly touches the motor). Can I send it to you so you can check if it's ok? 

It probably wont do well with the whole flippers are everywhere thing but still I have some faith in it XD

Thanks, I've attached the bot file to this post. (I think so anyway, the preview doesn't show if it's attached or not XD)

EDIT: yep, it's there.

So... What's it's name exactly? The bot name seems to be a little confusing

Also, sadly I had to ban another entry because it was way too overpowered. I have few tips for you guys

- No 2 Judge bursts/Beta motors
- No Skirt Hinge wedges
- Try to make the robot Realistic as possible, not overpowered as possible.

Wait, why aren't skirt hinge wedges allowed? I can understand the reasoning behind not allowing 2 judge bursts etc., but skirt wedges? :S

Because it will be a wedge war like in normal DSL.

Also, I just want you to guys know one thing...

If you won't enter, you will regret it later. This will be one of the most promising tournaments for a while, because some GTM'ers have made really awesome designs for the tournament.
