1WD = One Wheel Drive.
OK, so do two wheels on one motor count as 2WD?
Do wheels on snappers count as "drive"?
Bots that have one wheel were not allowed, as clarification.
So a bot with more than 1 wheel is allowed?
Yes, that is what I meant.

Wait so what's the arena and hazards situation? GRW better not put LumaZone right after signups close. :P

Edit: Nevermind, just saw this:

TP. Just to bring this back partially these are the plans for the arenas for the next few seasons.

Division Matches will be in the RA2T2 Arena, Playoff matches will be done in the RAReborn Arena and Semi and Finals will be in the Containment Cube. I will be working on my bot soon so I can put this into signups when I can.

so how long will signups last ?
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.

Would it be okay with you if I sent in a slightly revised version of my bot?

obviously a LW, cause 2 AW's will be raped really quickly by a decent popup or spinner.

ORLY? xD. based on previous stock LW tournaments anyone who doesn't enter a HS is bound to get wrecked, but variety is good for the game.. can you imagine tournaments with nothing but HS's?

Here, fixed your bindings:
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Little Gray Man.zip
and your bot crashes my game (and possibly GRW's) for some reason, possibly the skinned parts,fix it.
never mind, it's one of those random crashes. I would tell you what's wrong with your bot, but it'll spoil your entry. post it in your Stock showcase.

I took a look through what you "fixed". I see no difference except the removal of spaces that can be found in the stock bindings.

That's because all the decent builders are idiots and forget to think that treating LW's like HW's is a good idea.
 
It's why you see "I can't work with teh waet" posts.
 
Of course you can. You idiots all skimp on the drive and assume RAD makes the cut, then you go all out with the weaponry or batteries. HS win because everyone makes their bots so slow that they always have time to spin up. Every LW round that is anything verses a HS is like haymaker Vs NOS-BOT or Destiny Vs Mammoth or facemelikeaman Vs Pinball. Stop skimping on drive and start using Redbirds, morons. You lose because they spin up.
 
Apart from that drive rant, here's a quick few tips:
 
Hammers: Improve drive. VS: Improve drive. FS: Improve drive. All 3 types above usually have decent trapping, but RAD isn't enough. if anything, it makes your bot worse as you protect the HS from your weaponry, giving them about 1000 free points because you are slow as heck. Also: If you killed opponents fast enough, battery power isn't a concern. Try just going with a pink or two to save weight for something important.
 
tl;dr HS are the only bot type apart from SNS and popups that have styles and philosophies of building that easily translate from LW to MW to HW, so stop adding moar razors, you absolute morons.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

Which were in the stock bindings. Take a look in the bindings of a completely stock install of RA2.

Even if they weren't there, everything worked on my end.
