We could wait until CCAI V2 is released, then import one into the others game. =D Or I could send it to an AI pack.

Another difference between US and UK English I see- the plurality of Lego. Here it's Lego, there it's Legos- maybe that's where the S on the end of "Maths" went?

An intriguing observation. But Lego itself doesn't necessarily work as a plural, us Brits wouldn't say "I have many Lego", would we?
 
Getting back on topic,  I should probably post the picture I took of a wierd geometric shape I made out of k'Nex this afternoon.

Is it sort of triangular-ish?

Walkerbot 2.0 and Walkerbot 3.0


Walkerbot 2.0
First ever walker I made. Took less than 30 mins and it uses the motor as a leg. Also - if it gets flipped over it can srimech from any position possible!



Walkerbot 3.0
Took a day to build the legs and chassis and another day to build the motor/gear system. Keeps getting stuck which is annoying.

Question: Is this thread for replicas of RA2 bots, or just K'nex bots?

I created it with the intention of any 'combat' robots being shown, be it RA2 reps or not.

Finally a K'nex thread! All the bots you see are from 2003, I built them when I was like 7 or 8.

I do those awful YouTube videos.

HOORAY! I have loads of things from when I was 6 too. Much less interesting though.

WELL GUYS I got bored last night. And then I got some inspiration. And then I got out all of my K'nex and built a working walker :D





I also have a video of it in action that's unfortunately sideways, and this stupid netbook doesn't have the capacity to run any sort of video editing software. Does anyone know if Youtube lets you re-orient your videos? If so, I'll upload it.




EDIT: Never mind about the video, I'll have it up shortly.
