Whilst I wait for the final few stats, here is the basic plan. It is done in slots and each slot I hope will take 2-3 days.
SLOTS 1-3
The basic heats. The heats are simple knock-out, like Series 5.
Between Round 1 and Round 2 are two Mayhems with three real robots. Why am I doing this? I decided, since the last Dinowarrior was supposed to be Tom Brisbournes retirement, that I would do this to cheer him up. The twist is that the melees feature his favourite robots.
SLOT 4
The first of two annihilators (see above)
SLOT 5-7
The rest of the heats
SLOT 8
The second annihilator
SLOT 9
A special event starring the House Robots
SLOT 10
The final. It plays like the Armed Forces Special at RWE1. There will be a playoff and a battle featuring the two annihilator winners.
In all, well finally find a DD winner, Tom will be happy again, and the House Robots finally find out who is strongest.
Oh, BTW, dont worry about me not having annihilators you can enter...Ill have them in my next tourny, I promise.
Never has the term banker been commonly used by any roboteering community that I have seen to describe robots like Son of Whyachi or Drillzilla. UK or US.
Shufflers dont have legs, rather they have large feet that shuffle along. Also, dont start calling them cams or crankshafts either.... so wrong.
Due to a change of plans on this forum [Im not going to say what, you will see when the time comes] Im switching The Holy Hand Grenade with Mr. Slave 2 [no big loss, Holy Hand Grenade was built to enter NSBFL8 anyway]
Knightrous Oxide, do you have the Robot Wars Extreme Official Guide? Well, if you do, youll see my confusion. The stats describe Drillzilla as having two banks of feet.
But, if the technical term is Shuffler then OK, itll be fine.
P.S. Im saying hello to your little friends.
P.P.S. Id rather have all entries in by this weekend. If I dont have eight people, I may have to kick someone else out.
OK guys, Ive had no one else enter, and I really want to start soon.
Unless someone enters really quickly (I do NOT want real robots in the main competition), Ill have to do a draw between Martyn and AJ, and say the first person to get his stats in gets the final sixth spot.
