BattleBots
May 3, noon gametime. Thanks to Eden, Ronnie, and Emrick (so far!) for helping fine-tune these rules.

Creation
Your BattleBot is entirely mundane, and has the following abilities:
- Smashing (Rock)
- Speed (Paper)
- Cutting (Scissors)
Your bot comes equipped with 3 health levels. It also has one repair roll, to be used between rounds. That roll is Dex + Crafts/Repair/Technology/Cybernetics. Hypertech or other supernatural skills may not be used for this roll.
Battling
- +rps/throw random
- +rps/reveal
- Rock beats scissors; scissors beats paper; paper beats rock. (Example: Ann's paper beats Bob's rock. Ann was too fast for Bob! Bob's smashing misfired, and he crashed into a wall, or smashed himself with his hammer.)
Each winner will tick one health level off the other bot. You may choose to roll your repair before either the second or the third round.
- 1-3 successes: 1 health regained
- 4-6 successes: 2 health regained
- 7-10 successes: 3 health regained
If there are fewer than five competitors, the bots will play round-robin for the final round, after an initial handwavium round against NPC competitors. If there are five or more, the bots will be randomly seeded for competition. If there are fewer than eight bots, NPC bots will be substituted by the ST (Joel), but these bots will not get a repair roll.
