Okay I dug up an old, unused (actually MW!) bot to enter.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

added some clarification rules on Melty-brain robots. you shouldn't have to worry too much about it unless you're making a melty spinner/spinner, which is just Alex, to whom I've already been talking :P

As a final reminder, you do need to post your intention to compete in this tournament in this thread before it starts (excluding BrianTheAmerican since he signed up like, yesterday). the following competitors still need to post their intent to compete, actually enter a robot, or both:

CHAMPIONS: Lightweight//Ruination 4//Nick's Fuzzy Rules -- -- Hobbyweight//Bot-o-Rama//Buzzkill -- -- Arbitraryweight//D12//Listen Here, Grandad, This Is America, Everyone Here Eats Ass

<blockquote class='quote_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd>&nbsp;</dd></dl><div>as an example: if I took the melty-brain Charybdis, currently entered in FRR: Backlash, and applied these rules to it, it'd look like this:

Speed: 15
Traction: 1 (+3 for spin-up time)
Torque: 1
Armor: 10 (+2 teeth)
Weapon: 3

taking 5 seconds to get up to speed.[/quote]

Hey, so I thought that spin up time was speed/traction, so in this case that'd be 15/4, right? Wouldn't that equal 3.75 (rounded up to 4)?

one last thing: it looks like Brimestone does not get the +4 weapon armor bonus, as their diameter looks to be longer than the robot's largest axis. can we get some proof that this is not the case?

ok, not one last thing: Rack 'em up printer's stats are illegal, and it is impossible to tell what is what according to the picture, so I will not be accepting it in its current form. if you can either explain better what is supposed to be what, or make pictures that make sense, I will happily accept it

I'm honestly super excited for this tournament. The only ones I have a chance at is when other people don't try too hard&#33;

Hey man. With the extra cog attachments, it's longer. They're purely ornamental and can be removed. I can't currently post a pic, since I'm up north on my cell, but there's a second boring no-fun blade that I'll post when I'm back home tomorrow. It is indeed marginally shorter. You're gonna dig in like a mule on this one, eh? :P

Aaa figures I get a flipper in the first round. Hopefully I can rip a wheel off before he flips me.
