Worse, showcasing robots with custom components on them is the best way to be flamed. If you make that as a newbie, this can lead to the [[Venko]] Effect (but [[Venko]] himself never used custom components)

Worse, showcasing robots with custom components on them is one of the best paths to change your showcase in an all out flame war, excepted if you use them for making a unique bot and not a combat one (like [[Clickbeetle]] and [[Madiaba]] do sometimes)
