Re-stating also Lightweights: The Servant is staying but prehaps new stats Middleweights: Hammer and Nails may return but might be replaced by Merry Hampton 1.1 Heavyweights: Dr Thwack will be retired after this tournie and will be replaced by a Son Of Wyachi clone that i have in the works Super heavyweights: Curse of the Deep will return under the name of the Green Curse (Due to everyone calling it that) but there might be either new stats or a completely new design under that name Thats all :rolleyes: |

Good news, I managed to recover all my old CADs. That means an updated Adrenaline is now much more possible. |

I'll put in my thoughts here. LW: Zombie Killer will finally get some time off, since I've used him in every tournament since the switch to round-robin style. What I will replace him with is still up in the air, but it will definetly be something new (O'Malley is right out. )MW: This is tough. If Clown Breath can manage a decent season he'll definetly be back for another go... if not, well... w'll just see how it goes. HW: Probably will give Ocelot another season... unless he were to win the championship, in which case ToC might start getting jealous. :lol: SHW: Likely will be Final Boss again, unless I get a great insperation for something new, dunno if that'll happen though. So I guess stay tuned for the next exciting paintjob. B) |

For next season I'm going to try and come up with some more inventive designs, as tbh Hit 'em Hard, Armageddon and Inflammatory Slammer 2 are all basically ramming bricks, and Exotherm isn't my own design. I've got an idea for a bot that should counter most spinners and axes and to a certain degree flippers as well, but it's still very much in the early design stages so we'll see. I don't even know what weight class to put it in yet! I've got a few other ideas as well, but I'm keeping those top secret for now

Any chance you have a render of the old Shredding Ring around (or some of the other really old ones)? I might update the site database again soon and trying to get a record of as many as I can. |

I'll have to see what I can do, but in the old days I was using a trial version of Rhino so for the most part there are no CAD's of my early bots. I can look around in my pics and my sites to see if maybe there's a render still hanging aroung. |

Right i've fine tuned some of my bots so here's who you will expect to see next season LW- The servant will retire after this season as the 2nd one has arrived. The Servant's Assistant MW- Flop Hammer&Nails will pull out of next season as it will be on a rotor with Smashy Smashy who is taking his place. HW- Bout time the HW's had a flipper. Role on Druid 2.0. SHW- I'm joining the rammer tradition. With Merry Hampton Evo Thats all from me. For now

LW is going to be a toss-up. S.W.A.T. is kicking ass and taking names, but I've got an improved Sovereign waiting in the wings. I also have a new spinner design that I MAY try. MW is killing me. I have bad-ass new jaws and tires for No Joy, but I'm having a serious case of design block when it comes to making the body... HW is looking good. Adrenaline X is coming along slowly but on track. Hope you have plenty of top armor ![]() As for SHW, I've already built the new Diamondback but I'm not extremely happy with it. I've tried a SHW using No Joy's weapon, but I can't get it to not look like Diesector... |

If some thought there is a recent lack of creativity in the leagues, there will be plenty of creativity in my new SHW, Psycho, next season. |

I've kind of decided that what I was planning to do earlier wasn't right, so Ive made some alterations... LW: Minesweepr wil be replace with Mineswept Away, a new and improved rammer with interchangeable weapons: Probably hinged scoops, skirts all around(ala Lowdown), and hinged wedges at the front and back. There'll be slot in the side skirts to allow them to slide over the new side-spikes when the robot is inverted. MW: Tetris will not be staying. Instead, he'll probably be replaced with a middleweight clone of X-Combat, thereby keeping my middleweight a horizontal spinner. HW: 1-hit Wonder will be replaced with an actual walker called Annihilation, replacing the feet with Manta-style actuated O-ring feet, and replacing the rim's system with a friction-drive system. SHW: Extreme Gyration will probably be replaced with a flipper that can get under skirts of other robots by having the wedge scrape the floor. It'll be similar to Parabolic Trajectory in that over 75% of the robot's body will be a flipper. |

Well, before people start criticizing me for doing a self portrait, this little fella is just a prototype. Although, I like the concept on him so I might make him a SHW or "exhibiton" bot in the future.![]()

I could mention that chainsaw chains typically aren't as sharp as depicted in your CAD. Other than that, it's pretty fucking cool looking. |

Someone who wishes to remain anonymous lest Chris hunt them down says that it's rubbish because chainsaws suck. Apparently he didn't realize this will probably end up a showbot.
