but I'm not going to crop any more unless you force me to somehow.

Do not tempt me to re-lock the thread (or BOTH of your threads) again.

I will not ask that you crop all your already posted pics in both showcases (though it would be welcome), but from now you will have to crop your robot pictures in both showcases or you can guess what will happen.

This applies to everyone btw.

Even though that would waste everybody's time and noobs would do it multiple times anyway and there isn't a true reason for cropping the pics, fine by me.

... And this is what I like about FailPX. Not understanding the (very basic) laws of the Feudal System.

Page load faster when pics are smaller.

There is a true reason for cropping the pics. Here, Somebody provided it.

And also, it takes up less space on the servers.

I'm already regreting posting that pic

*moves out of the way from the offtopic showcase that will no doubt soon be shattered with a banhammer the size of east anglia*

ONE. Cropping your pictures and saving them as .PNGs take up MUCH less bandwidth than uploading the enormous .bmp Screenshots, so pages will load quicker. Doing this will actually save time for everyone.
TWO. The reason newbies MIGHT do that is because they are unfamiliar with the forum rules. Even if they do, then people will tell them that they should crop their pics, and they will more than likely follow the advice. By your logic, you're just showing yourself up to be a noob.
THREE. Cropping pics saves a lot of bandwidth, and therefore time, and there is absolutely no point in showing the Bot Lab whenever you post a new bot. Everybody knows what the Bot Lab looks like, the only thing anyone is interested in is your robot. Anything else is, fundementally, unnecessary. You can give people the specs in text.

Somebody · « **Reply #748 on:** October 23, 2010, 04:41:08 PM »

With or without cropping, FOTEPX is still a n00b.

And in some cases, the botlab is semi-disturbing *glances in general direction of Dawnzu*

Not a n00b. He's not stupid. I do however think he might just be a troll and general drama queen. And that we are giving him the attention he desires right now...

Very well said.

Here's some bots I didn't showcase for some unknown reason.

Genocidic Zodiac
Weight: 798.8
6 ants
Tite 3

Panzer Dragoon
Weight: 794.5
4 PC545's, 3 ants
Tite 1

Stratos
Weight: 797.5
4 PC545's, 18 ants
Tite 3

NFX · « **Reply #751 on:** October 29, 2010, 05:19:00 PM »

Panzer Dragoon looks fantastic. I can't help thinking it might be overpowered, though.

G.K. · « **Reply #752 on:** October 29, 2010, 05:26:47 PM »

Stratos makes me want to cry.

In a good or bad way?

BTW, the flippers are fully powered.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #754 on:** October 29, 2010, 07:10:08 PM »

Bad way, it's hecka slow and over weaponed for an HW. It's probably powerful as

but anyfast gut ripper will KO it easily. I like Panzer Dragoon though.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #755 on:** October 29, 2010, 07:19:23 PM »

This any better?

Still fully powered
Tite 1
Weight: 799.1

Also:

Yeah, HOJ is a bit of a joke.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #756 on:** October 29, 2010, 08:46:59 PM »

Wheels still need to be grippier. Use Vlads or something.

Urjak · « **Reply #757 on:** October 29, 2010, 08:56:02 PM »

Why do people brag about flipping big robots around? Everyone know those Betas are very overpowered. The merit of a flipper is not in sheer flipping power, but on how well it deals with a variety of different bot types.

QFT. Lemme say, it does deal with other bots quite well.

@Badnik I put Vlads on there, but am thinking aobut putting Technos on it.

FOTEPX · « **Reply #759 on:** October 29, 2010, 10:10:55 PM »

What would be a better flipper: A half-powered Beta or a full powered JX large?
