I would advise you to work on your writing skills a bit more, first. Your battles in the SHW tournament were quite decent, but they can use some improvement (thats CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, by the way, so dont take it like we hate you or anything ).

As for the rules, theyre actually straight-forward to my eyes...I do see minor things...for instance, what are the weight bonuses for tracked machines? Shufflers? Walkers? Other motivations? Whats the rule on clusterbots and passive weaponry? Also...

quote:

A 20x20 square boxI presume you mean that in metres? Same with the other arenas?

Being a friendly member as I can be, I will reserve a spot and see how this goes. I want to decide to what to enter.

[neontetra23]

My battles do lack a bit
yes its metres
100KG for Wheels
110KG for Tracks
110KG for Shufflers
150KG for Walkers
Passive weaponry and comedy bots are allowed, flying bots are not, the rule on cluster is 50% eliminated = 100% eliminated

[kodster]

Ive decided. But before I post my entries, Id like to ask you if you could post a battle in the How Can I Improve? thread. That way we can give you advice, and thus help you write battles that will be even better, to you and to everybody else.

Right. Entries shall be posted directly here with links to the pics in their names:
