Updated the rules. Will probably post signups soon.

Any questions/confusions should be posted now. I cannot change the rules after posting the signups.

I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.

Well a lot of strikes and that rule is out! (Ya I just got back from my baseball game and I'm in the mood. Also struck out twice though  :FFFUUU )

It is now changed to being active during the amount of time that you have been here. So if someone like eishiba comes back (no offense to him) I probably wouldn't let him in because he only visits sporadically.

OK The official announcement is being made! Signups will open on June 6th (unless I forget XD, but I will try not too)

Get your bots ready and we can get the signups done quickly, much like BBEANS 6.

Announcement: I am going to push this back a bit. I need some more time.

I am thinking Monday the 14th of June (I realized I need to practice my camera sklz, plus other things got in the way). Signups will be open until the 26th, or whenever I get 8 entrants, and then we will get this rolling.

Just read the rules... this is helping flail shell spinners a lot.

I do have my idea though... so we should change our weaponry according to the next opponent ?

Weaponry would most likely be the main thing changed. Although you can also change wheels or strengthen external armor and/or wedges. Some of the rules, like no extra chassis armor, are to hurt shell spinners so when they know that they are against a popup, they can't take off their top row of spikes and make the armor really strong.

Sure. I am not limiting types, but I recommend some types over others, such as popups, crawlers, jugglers, etc. Because they are more customizable. Be aware however that this will be in the BBEANS Tournament Arena V2, and we all saw how Bumble Bee ended up.
