Oh No!!! It's VRW 5!!!

I could, but to be perfectly honest, I'm not all that interested in vapourboteering. I'm impressed with the designs, components, mechanisms etc that feature in many vapourbots and it would be really quite cool if a few of these were able to be constructed as real robots. The battles as well are generally of a high standard and good writing etc but its just not something I find grips me or is that absorbing for me.

I have entered a few tournaments but after them I decided I would prefer to focus on designing, building, fighting and improving my featherweights which can often take up a lot of spare time in itself.

I think the three I had were Dr. Acula, Firefly and Drumroll Snr? Well consider this a bit of a vapourbot garage sale. :)
If anyone fancies any of these designs and can find stats for them somewhere (can't remember what tournies they were in :uhoh: ) they're welcome to 'buy' them. Keep the stats, change the stats, improve the stats, feel free to do whatever you like. The only thing I ask would be to change the name for Drumroll Snr. Because if I ever build a kinetic energy-weaponed heavyweight.... :wink:

I've no real interest in entering any VRW of any description, I'm willing to grab Firefly as a project though :P

To be honest my interest in vapourbots has gone down a touch with me going into real robots in a big way now - Andy's reported that as well - but I'm still willing to enter things, write the occasional fight, and have a stab at making something out of a former competitor...the right way, as opposed to Mark's methods :)

I'll take Drumroll Sr. and Dr. Acula. And I still have 11 spots.

Okay, I might as well state this here and now: Instead of doing fights, I will instead find out the winner via using the percentages first used in Nick's Byte Size tournament. It's a more specific and seems like a simpler(good for you all, no more crappy fights) solution to all of the complaints.

:uhoh:

:uhoh:

:uhoh:

:uhoh: :roll:

What's with all the :uhoh: s?

I believe they all think that this will end badly with a possibility of an intercontinental shouting match.

If you need someone to make up numbers I'll enter pending on whether I can get some stats up in time.

Time to start work.
