Not a real tournament, more just fun.
If any of you know, i did a series on YouTube called Wild Robots, which was set to have a series 3 but get cancelled due to various reasons.
Now, a few months on, im thinking about bringing the series back.
For this series, i hope to have a few more weight classes introduced.
Of course there will be the HW compotition, and the FW (Featherweight) compotition.
But, i\'ll be needing some help with the AWs, BWs, LWs, MWs and SHWs (Yes, i aim big)
If any of you guys would like to make a couple of bots in tose weight classes, then that could really help me out.
The idea of Wild Robots is of course realisticness (ABSOLUTE) and maybe a couple of SFTW, just so that it gives the little bit better flippers and spinners a chance to show theyre potential XD
So, maybe a few SFTW, in those weight classes that i mentioned and a couple of FWs.
Rules for FWs have changed, they can be any size, BUT they must weigh from 175-200kg (RA2 weight)
Of course if your attempt at a LW truns it into a FW, you can have it as a LW if you want.
All FWs must have FW- in front of them (Same with AWs (AW-) and BWs (BW-) like in DSL)
Im only looking for up to 10 in AWs, BWs, FWs, LWs and MWs, and only 4 in SHW.
All HWs will be left up to me.
And please remember, this is just a bit of fun, no far to serious entrys, just as long as it is entertaining, then thats ok, it could just be a box with wheels, so what, its still a robot.
Thanks a lot, and all those who help will get all my thanks.
Wham

Sounds fun.

Sweet. I'm building stuff for this.

I'm guessing.. DSL bots with true-to-life realism?

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #3 on:** April 10, 2009, 11:20:34 AM »

Yes, it is DSL, but if you contact me, i can give you some components that im using for the FWs, AWs, BWs, and maybe the other weight classes.
BUT these are cheat components, so thats why you must PM me for them.

Might enter something.

So - you're looking up to 54 bots in total ?

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #5 on:** April 11, 2009, 03:17:49 AM »

Well, series 3 was set to have 80 robots overall.
So i hope to get as close to the margin of 80 as possible.
BTW, I will AI the bots but if you want to then thanks!
And Naryar, its just some fun, lol.

Did you get my bots? I'm sorta worried because you never replied.

Also, you should say how many spots there are left in each class.

Also, making more bots along with the ones I sent.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #9 on:** April 16, 2009, 03:41:02 AM »

Sorry guys, im on my hols.
Yes Redline, i did get your robots.
At the moment im just waiting for robots to come in, so theres not much of a limit.
But im just happy with about 50 HWs, 30 FWs, 12 LWs, 12 MWs and about 4 SHWs (lagfest)
So, just keep sending those bots in, then hopefully the series can start!
Thanks to those who have entered.
Can those who are working on bots for the series try and go to the area of FWs please, as thats the main catergory along with the HWs.
Also, for those of you who might need a component edited for any of your bots, wether its re-skinning or editing the txt file ofa component, just let me know (unfortunatly im not that keen on flame throwers)
The best time is next week for me.

This'll look good...

Naryar · « **Reply #11 on:** April 16, 2009, 06:37:32 PM »

Wham, is there a weight limit for SHW's?

I'm guessing it's 1200 like the 'official' DSL SHW weight limit.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #13 on:** April 17, 2009, 09:24:31 AM »

Well, due to like the other weight classes and all i'll probably have to make it 1000.
So Nar, what ya making, box on wheels or SFTW Roadkill? lol.

Blood on the walls...

Naryar · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2009, 11:14:53 AM »

Probably a popup/true popup hybrid (1 burst motor firing upwards like a flipper (aka true popup), the other like a normal popup) with 2 Beta spring loaded burst motors and LOTS of razors.

Maybe Etek-Techno Destructo drive also.

I was planning that to be a 1200-kg bot (like Redline said, DSL3 SHW official class).

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2009, 12:26:13 PM »

Ok, DSL 3 SHW class limit.
And Nar, THIS IS JUST A BIT OF FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please try and make your bot at least a slight bit destructable o.O

Better chance telling a bird not to fly, mate.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #18 on:** April 17, 2009, 12:45:46 PM »

Meh, your right :/
HF2 and SR2 will get slaughtered if Nar makes a HW!
