THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED ANYWHERE IN THE HISTORY OF ANYTHING EVER.

I am seriously liking the Helichopter Brawl idea. Regardless of who wins, it shall be awesomeness in a box. As described by the above statement. =D

Hey, I had an idea.

As trinity fliers's movement are mostly uncontrollable in both x/y axis, what about adding piston drive so that the reaction propulses them toward the enemy ?

Wouldn't work. The forward force of the piston is just cancelled by the backward force of it returning.

In IRL physics that would indeed work like that... but have you never tried a piston drive ? And why pokers overall go forward when you fire their pistons ?

The only problem would be if the chassis is spinning as well.

You guys think we can get someone to do a custom arena for this? Personally, I think it would be more entertaining if we had a huge arena size, but "soft" walls closer in that would gently push the flyers back into the fighting area (like Joe's wrestling arena). This way, we can avoid getting stuck in the walls of the Combat Arena, which tends to happen a lot.

soo.... Bouncy combat zone ?

I don't remember trinity fliers necessarily being SnS. It can be (Crimson Fury Xtreme), but it's not a requirement for flight AFAIK.

I don't remember if they all do it though.

WE NEED VIDEOS OF THIS!
.....So future generations can see how epic GTM is?

DON'T LET THIS DIE

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #30 on:** March 31, 2011, 11:49:52 PM »

DON'T WORRY, IT'S TOO EPIC TO DIE.

Thing is, I have final exams coming up in a couple of weeks and a bunch of end-of-year papers and assignments due, and I'm willing to guess that Pwnie is in the same boat, so time is at a premium at the moment. Can't speak for Scrap and Sage though.

Sage · « **Reply #31 on:** April 01, 2011, 12:07:26 AM »

I might be able to get it built by tomorrow, Pwnie already built his, and Scrap might have...

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #32 on:** April 01, 2011, 02:00:25 AM »

Well if that's the case I think I have mine mostly built too. Just a few minor tweaks and some skin.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #33 on:** April 01, 2011, 05:39:46 AM »

:O I better get started on the arena

oh and I want to host this epic encounter if nobody else beat me to raising their hand..

Sage · « **Reply #34 on:** April 01, 2011, 11:34:52 AM »

JoeBloe gets to host, just cause he has cool editing skills.

Sorry dragonfire!

And we don't wanna interfere with your academic life, bro. AFAIK Exeter's heckish when it comes to non-major subjects. :D
