I don't know why so many people like SnS...they're easy to build and are pretty combat effective, but terribly boring to watch in a match. I may be one of the only ones not voting for how fun they are to build/how combat effective they are though. :P

Majority would have agreed with you before Apanx came along :P

Bots like Whirlpool in Starcore v4 and Synergy2/Storm Shock in RoboLeague (save the final) still use the regular boring SnS AI though. And I can't exactly drive like FBS AI in-game. :P

I tried to do it in this vid, it's not too bad actually.

Somebody · « **Reply #37 on:** August 29, 2011, 03:43:56 PM »

TRFBD and Drum aren't really close TBH.

And Bar HS falls under HS

Fracture · « **Reply #38 on:** August 29, 2011, 03:45:28 PM »

Yeah but I'm not sure if that's what lra2 was really trying to type so I just put it down there in case...
