There's a thread for that in the Forum News section, IIRC.


And I much preferred Chaos 2, by the way  =P

DP. This thread is dead.
Well done, clever clogs.

Jonzu is banned anyway, when he's unbanned he may or may not choose to continue this.

Well SORRY for not keeping up to date with whoever's banned or not >:-(
It's the fact you said this thread is dead, and nothing more, stating the obvious much?

Thread is not dead at all, because I'm back. I'll update the Entry list a bit later on, and I will add a poll about Brackets.

What would you call "weapon spam"? 4 razors isn't a lot for a MW VS.

Well, I recommend 2-4 razors for VS. 6 is too much IMO.

LOL, I've alrady made two possible bots for this tourney. Are we going to make it into a signup thread yet?

(Also, is the arena like normal robot wars where you can flip bots OOTA? Just wondering if a flipper would be effective.)

I use loads of DSA every week at work.. (thats not even sarcasm)

We call it ACM though.. its aluminum with a solid polyethylene core, maintains the strength of Aluminum while being around half the weight.. 

So technically its double strength Aluminum if you base it on weight not thickness :P

I said the format (except the semis) was the same as S7

the bracket amount was the same as S5 but S6 used first round rumbles not all deathmatches..

Well, It Depends how many enters. And one of the bots has to be your own, and the rest must be replicas.
