Weight classes of Buzzkill and Oh Geeze have been updated. Scorpion, I'll second Toxic's advice. Use Sketchup or Tinkercad. Also:
I'm inclined to say that while your spikes are movable, they're pretty much useless: your robot has an effective power of 8 acting as a rammer, and an effective power of 1 actually using the weapon. I'll accept your entries pending better pictures, but please change your robot's stats so the power from firing the spikes is greater than the power from ramming with them. Don't worry, you can put the spikes on the same actuator, giving them an effective power 1 lower than the total weapon power. Britespark and Toxic, your entries seem okay: I'll put them on the roster when stats/pictures are posted. However, your picture makes it look like the rear spike is articulated. Is this the case? If so, please specify a weapon power for it. BrianTheAmerican: Your entries all look good, but need some minor stat changes. For Havoc Pigeon:
Sorry this rule was added late (It was well before I saw your entry, don't worry), but I noticed there was no real downside to using omni drive. For Hopscotch Pilgrim: Effective speed and weapon stats for melties aren't "swapped" in this tournament - speed is for translation, weapon is for dealing damage when spinning. For Answering Chord: The bot is legal, but I want to give a quick tip to make it more effective. Saws require continuous contact on the order of a few seconds to deal damage. This is usually accomplished by clamping your opponent, trapping it in a dustpan, or pinning it against the wall. You don't have a clamp or dustpan, so you'll have to pin. I'd strongly recommend giving the robot a little more speed and torque, because it will be very difficult to effectively pin an opponent with the current stats. Also, is the saw spinning "up" or "down"? |

Toxic, Brian, and Noisey are in! BTW Noisey, an aluminum bar won't stay sharp very well unless it has tooth inserts. IRL undercutters usually use one-piece bars of a harder, denser material like titanium or S7 because undercutters also tend to have fairly thin blades to fit underneath opponents. Almost half the entries are in, and if everyone who's posted gets all their bots in only four slots will be left! The bracket's really filling up! please someone sign up to write i need help |

@MadBull: yes @scorpion1m: Sigh... Pro is okay, assuming the wheels are internal. Sister Sledge... I guess I'll accept it, but it has a weird 'I' shaped chassis which spinners will have an easy time grabbing onto, a high CG, and a very heavy weapon head. It will be powerful, but it will also be unstable as hell and prone to flipping itself over. However, you have NOT updated your Sportsman entry's stats to comply with the "don't enter a bullshit pushybot with a 1-power weapon" rule. |

Currently a decent brick could probably sweep featherweight, so there's an idea for you. |

(Britespark enters a brick) Anyway... Britespark: Accepted, but please specify the individual power for the hammer and lifter on Yield, and the jaws and spike on Vice. |

The spike is static. I've added a disclaimer to my entry post. I'll prob be changing Yield after re-reading the multiple weapons rule. |
