But what are you entering that in?
New Blood
lol, I didnt notice this tournament till now
guess Ill create something for the new blood myself
Whats the GC under the skirts?
Heres a little piece of machinery Id like to enter in the New Blood competition
Name - Sheer Heart Attack
Shape - Invertible tracked box, only the main-body between the tracks is shorter then the tracks (as can be seen on the picture), build in such a way that the tracks are in contact with the ground no matter what (like 101), only with two titanium bars at the end of both tracks to protect them from destructive spinners
Weight - 110 Kilogram
Speed - 24 km/h (15 mph)
Dimensions - 90*100*25 cm
Ground Clearance - Zero underneath the tracks, but with an overhang
Power -2x LEM130s at 48v
Movement - Two sturdy titanium tracks, with rubber strips attached to them for traction
Turning Circle - Zero
Weaponry - A 22 kilogram titanium spinning drum at the front of my machine equipped with 10 hardox teeth, powered by a LEM 130 and spinning around at 5000 RPM, which produces nearly 40 kJ.
Armour - 6 mm titanium all around (including the tracks themselves)
Srimech - It€™s invertible
Strenghts - Devestating against most wedges, nice traction
Weakness - Exposed (but quite sturdy) tracks might be a weakness
Notes- I designed this robot to be a robot which gains it€™s advantage by driving OVER an opponent, a bit like Barberous. The exposed tracks are the ultimate way to keep in contact with the floor no matter what kind of ramp I drive up, so that if a good rambot or whatever gets underneath me in a threatening way, I can simply go in full reverse and escape. The drum, ofcourse, is a perfect way to hurt an opponent while he€™s underneath you.

OK Enterprise and SHA are in the New Blood. A note for Kevin though, Im assuming a reasonably high GC under the skirts seeing you didnt specify.
Its still pretty low under the skirts.
Having just received word that not everyone is happy with the downtime this tournament is undergoing, I feel I have to restate my position.
I do not have writers block. Writing such a lot of fanfic recently has caused other projects of mine, namely a book I wish to get published, to be put on the back burner. Although I enjoy writing the NSBFL, my book is far more important to me, and its that Im concentrating on.
NSBFL X-2 will be kicked off when I feel Ive done enough work on the book for the time being.
Well said.
Same with any of my tournaments generally for gettign enough lyrics to give Glen to put the music to.
Im in no position to tell people to get moving with tournaments as we all know... :P
I think we all have other stuff to be getting on with at this moment in time which prioritises over fanfic.
