You're just a voice pal, you don't know a damn thing about racing!
The in-line wheels on Undertow remind me of Philip's Underminer. He managed to take a championship with that bot, so it should be interesting to see how it does.

Your team is pretty cool all-around, Attackfrog. Lots of personality.

What just appeared in my hands?
Pelican looks neat. As others have mentioned, it's a bit too long for its own good, but otherwise it's a great design. I think I tried to make something similar a while back and it turned out so terrible that I never bothered posting it anywhere. Glad to see that someone found a way to make the design work :)

Undertow's drive setup is neat as well. I can't wait to see how it performs.

I think you'll still be fine. Ruination needs to finish first, then we're thinking of having a bit of a break before FRR kicks off.

Pretty much this. I wouldn't expect FRR to kick off until sometime in January or early February, depending on exactly when Ruination finishes. So plan on having until sometime in the New Year to get your entries in.

The plan is to also have time to redo the CFL list in between Ruination and FRR as well, so at least a couple week break would be beneficial.

I should go 3-1 this week but it'll probably be something like 0-4 or 0-5.

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

Figured I could welcome Totallynotsatan to the mix. pretty decent designs overall, but if I may give two quick suggestions; first of all, Albacore's drum is going to have issues catching anything, due to how deep into the chassis it is set, and its lack of teeth. secondly, I feel that Bulldozer's lifter is going to have issues getting under most things due to its shape. you may want to make it more plow-ey or wedge-ey. looking forewards to facing you :P

Welcome aboard, person who is definitely not Satan! As Goat said, you have some good ideas for sure. I would suggest moving some of Tank's armor points into traction, as it will be near impossible to control with its current stat spread. I learned the hard way.

This tourney is getting crazy. So many rookies, along with some pretty cool designs as well.

I finally have some competitive(on paper) bots, and some neat designs. Realllly looking forward to Backlash.

Out of curiosity since Hammerfall is using the CFL rules and we have had so many members come over here, will Hammerfall be counted for the records? I don't care either way, just curious.

Just a quick tip: 15-16 armor isn't really necessary unless someone enters something ridiculous like that 18 WEP walking overhead spinner that was in the Hammerfall bot showcase thread. Right now your MW and SHW entries are going to have serious trouble dealing with most of the non-spinners in the same weight class: people can drive rings around the MW and get under it, and the SHW will get pushed around. The middleweight is also at risk from horizontal spinners with 5+ speed and 14+ weapon, which should be able to get around the plow and take your tires off.

12-13 armor should be enough to absorb all the spinners in the competition without taking too much damage, and honestly 10-11 armor should still hold up.

Side note: event organizers, please put Executioner in my group, the single-stroke hammer vs. hammer samurai-style battle which ends the first time someone actually gets in a hit has the potential to be awesome.

Generally speaking, the rule of thumb is that it needs to be a full 4 weight class tournament to be included in the rankings.
