Im not saying majors suck, I have fond memories from some of the bigger tournaments. But times have changed, no longer are there plenty of writers with enough enthusiasm to knock out a large number of battles in quick succession. More regular, smaller tournaments seems to fit the bill IMHO.

Question on my part: If you decide to take a vapourbot into production, does it seize to be a vapourbot?

Too high and not long enough, Liam.

too heavy too.

Yeah, would it be better to make the weapons interchangeable?

[kodster]

Yes, that would help. Also make it like less than half the height, and increase the length by a considerable amount.

Well if you want to keep both weapons you need to make the armour way thinner than 9mm.

keep in mind that every square meter 1mm thick Titanium is 4,5kg.

And dont forget that all those motors need batteries.

Id assume that the real robot is then a real robot, while the set of stats remains the vapourbot. Of course if the real version turns out to suck youve shot yourself in the foot, lol.

In that case Ill just keep it secret which one I picked.

Oh, before I forget...

Paul, I contacted Mario de Jongh (the guy who makes custom rams, youve seen him on this site), and he agrees with me that Nitro-Gene 5.0 is still in the wrong. You see, the bottles are still too big for the height of the body, and the pressure on the valves would blow them off completely.

If I were you, Id think about switching for CO2 and start calling it Carbo-Gene.
