Bots that I have submitted as means to point out or exploit annoying trends in the CFL leagues: Babaganoush (Complete Sentences, Including This One, Should Not Be Bot Names), Amoeba, Blackbelt (which never officially competed, but was entered. The only other bots that I know of that intentionally did this were Palette and Russianation.
Other good examples of this are Uh Oh It's A Red Hot Fridge and Tank, which slapped pieces of metal all around the robot, calling it passive armor and getting +2 armor on the entire thing.

Spatula loves to enter robots that exploit the shit out of the walker rules.

Idk if he was intentionally pointing out or exploiting, but Kiazi's a million hammers were always funny shit.

Here's one I just noticed: all of my bots with cumulative losing records are MWs (Twist And Shout, Warper, The Aristocrats, Koopa), although SHW Amoeba and MW Dancing Headless are at an even .500.

There are few crimes in our modern society that merit public beating. Interrupting someone's enjoyment of Messiah to request "Jingle Bells" by the Singing Dogs is irrefutably one such offense.

You're just a voice pal, you don't know a damn thing about racing!
I liked Black Belt's design, even if the chainsaw would never do anything


Fun fact: None of my heavyweights have a positive win record. I have high hopes for both Malevolence III and Ballistik (AKA the Breaker Box klone I've mentioned in skype) so hopefully that changes soon.

Just out of interest-

By raising its Lifting Plate, pressing it down against the first step and driving up, Marauder can climb stairs.

Along with the British armoured fighting vehicle of the same name, Jackal's name is a reference to the 1988 Commodore 64 game Marauder. There, Jackal is the fifth default name on the High Score table. Its original name in its concept, Wyzard, was the highest-ranked name.
