What kind of example are you trying to set? :V

Edit: Happy now? =P

That's not true. Many times I'll start with a huge box chassis and put the components in it to test different layouts and such before deciding on my chassis shape.

You forgot about the step where it has to beat EMERGENCY.
I mean, assuming they use stock AI.

Thanks, I just thought that a link would be easier than repeating the same stuff in every newb's showcase. ;)

that's what I do. Make a huge chassis first and see how I can make things work.
