Leighviathan. The scoop may look like a straight wedge, but it's actually curved by 10 degrees. It's on a 90-degree axle so it flails around. Hand drawn logo. Chainsaw comes from Lu-Tze's pack(Image removed from quote.)
Sonny, do you think you could do a let's build special on how to BFE? I tried the tutorial pictures and it didn't work (I wasn't saving the n++ file neither).

It's a real taboo, you'll see in the Tournaments section that 99.9% of them have "No BFE" as the very first rule.
BFE is becoming more common, I believe, and I think when used for unrealistic purposes it is easy to spot in a tournament, so personally I'd see no issue - I'm sure there's even a guide on here somewhere with the basics of BFE.

I need a tutorial SPECIFICALLY on making irregular shapes in RA2.

I need a tutorial SPECIFICALLY on making irregular shapes in RA2.What I was trying to say is I imagine there wouldn't be any backlash to Sonny providing this kind of tutorial, but honestly, with the original tutorial and some hard work/experimentation, you can get some cool cutoff wedges and wedges with no flat top.For example, if you wanted a simple quadrilateral cutoff wedge like Robot the Bruce, you'd just slightly lower the height of 2 chassis points, and if you wanted a wedge with no flat top you just move the top points very close together.Sonny of course will be miles better at explaining these things, my knowledge is astoundingly basic with BFE.
Thor's Hammer. This was going to be the topic of my next Let's Build, but I found out too late that WIndows 8 doesn't let you record Desktop footage, and there isn't much to see from the in-game build. And of course that puts a real damper on making vids about BFE. Kickstarter to buy Resetti a license of Camtasia and a computer drawing tablet thingy?I like this bot, because it was clearly built on a budget, and in tandem with the team's heavyweight bot. Not bad for some loose parts converted into a robot, and it looks surprisingly cool for a paintjob that barely had time to dry before filming.(Image removed from quote.)
