Welcome to 1996.

Introducing Skelzie, a 2WD box with a sawblade on each corner. Designed to drive into opponents and chew them up. Swivel casters on each end for balance and plenty ground clearance. Lots of vacant space up top to keep weapons away from important components. Also can be easily defeated by turning it onto its head, but who's got that figured out yet?

That thing is glorious.

Unique in many ways, I love this design :)

Shiiet man. That's some meta-defining shit right there.

Time to make a hard counter. :P

[/quote]I have to say, I like this design! It really reminds me a lot of the machines you'd see in the San Francisco Robot Wars events of the mid-1990s.

Adam was discussing the idea of a "throwback" tournament on Discord, and this idea popped into my head, so I decided to knock it together in case it became a thing.

Edit: Sorry. Website was lagging and didn't load the newest posts :V

And yeah, I really like this design for a throwback tournament. Saws everywhere is just screaming 1996

Made some tweaks to You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire, because I like the idea of - somewhere down the road - entering an entire team named after Queens of the Stone Age songs.

WARNING: Contains no actual money

Certainly looks expensive :V

Very solid thwackbot all in all

"Here comes the Money!" a rather posh thwack-bot

I guess a solid gold shield makes a pretty good counterweight to a stack of cash

CBC2 is looking like it could have Robosoccer in the LW division, so I gave No Exit a Soccer setup. Stop signs don't move, but they have enough of a gap between them to allow the flipper to fire if it has to self-right.

I may need to pass the toll-booth XD

"Featherweights are a thing now? I need to make some of those! And let's give it a stupid sentence for a name as well!"

Don't Step On The Coconuts!

2WD spinner sacrificing broadly everything to have a ludicrously powerful one-tooth disc. Hoop on the top protects the motor (ish) and puts it back on its wheels if it's flipped (ish). Small lexan shield at the front protects the weapon chain a bit. Also the disc should be all smooth curves, but Rhino didn't seem to enjoy that too much, so bleh.
