Title: Is it me, or is there something odd about where these extenders have been put?

This isn't the hidden one we all know about, this seems to be a third point.

Personally, I hate that attachment point. Whenever I make a bot and save it... the attachment point changes locations even if I dont rotate the snapper... therefore screwing up my bot. I don't understand how some builders manage to use that connection point so efficiently.

Post by: G.K. on February 08, 2010, 04:19:55 PM: Oh? Well it's a new one for me. I thought Pwnator was cheating in Terror Twisters by BFE'ing on a new AP. :P.

Think of it like this:

That secret AP acts like a servo. When you go garage and back, it will always return to its original position, which is shown by the little black square.

Hey thanks! I don't think I ever really noticed that pattern. I kept getting frustrated with it. :P Your input is appreciated.

Shame shame G.K. How could you possibly think that innocent, little, fuzzy, harmless Pwn would cheat?

Post by: JoeBlo on February 08, 2010, 06:53:49 PM: its just the normal attachment point your normally use to mount it on the baseplate.

it must also be a generic male attachment point also
