Well I thought of that, but "Armor and Wedge Effectiveness may not exceed 16 points combined".

Ah, forgot. Editing.

And there. I'm keeping the bot in damnit.

MW added.

SHW won't be a problem as it's a re-skin, and HW is half-completed anyway.

Weapon + Armor can go over 16 and I just entered something that does it.

It's Wedge + Armor that can't and there's a very good reason. It keeps someone from entering something like this:

Speed - 3
Traction - 2
Torque - 1
Wedge Effectiveness - 12
Armor - 12
Weapon Power - 0

Most designs could not get under it or damage it, making them useless against it. In real life, it would not work. But here it would be overpowered.

My shit is all in. Stats may vary depending on how I feel about them though. Not totally sure on at least two of them... :qq:

Also Nick bring Parasite back to FRA

EDIT: I mean I am literally going to open up sign-ups for C&B5 next month [/shameless plug]

I meant that. It was late and I was tired.

New entries seem pretty cool, though. Creeping Death should be a pretty interesting design to fight.

I've had a stab at doing my stats, anyone willing to lend a helping hand? :P

leet stat update!

And with some of the updates I've seen on the other teams I'm really liking the quality of compitition this tournament is going to have.

Can't see too much wrong with the stats, they seem to fit the bots fairly well. Vertigo's armour seems a bit low for my liking, but it was the same sort of thing in Armageddon, and the rest of the stats seem to be a pretty good spread for it. I'm almost contemplating swapping Ganymede for Kraze so we can have a grudge match. =P

Do it.

Fuck, if that happens I'm gonna have to switch out ToC for Revolver Ocelot again. I can't keep up with all these new HW flipper/rammers. :unsure:

Yeah that's always been the point of him, because the weapon/armour rule means that his armour is technically 9 for most of the robot. Next time someone's doing CADs for me I plan on making his whole shell the flipper, kind of Glory Hole's srimech (but not like Kody's new LW, it'll still be hinged at the rear) :P

<blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>KodeBreaker</dt><dd>Mar 10 2012, 03:42 PM</dd></dl><div> My plans, which are rendered or will come to be rendered shortly.

LW - walker
MW - clusterbot
HW - flipper
SHW - spinner

Aren't my details amazing? [/quote]
For me, the only things I'm certain of entering are a Spinner (Not revealing what type just yet) for the LWs and a Flipper for the MWs. Still thinking of what to enter for the two higher divisions.
