Hey TRB.
Take a look at your stock showcase.

I wouldn't say that, I'm not raging over it. It's little more than an inconveniance, especially as I'm playing N64 games on an emulator instead now.

ass. I've asked for research help many times before and they alwaysr respond with one of these two

1. LOL we no longer answer these questions lol
2. *insert smart ass story about the robot in question committing suicide here*

EDIT: Vertigo I know it's you asking about UK VS US robot combat :L

You're certainly optomistic if nothing else. What exactly are you gathering this research for?

Also, am I the only one who can't comprehend why they'd show you this screen after you submit your question? Seems kind of pointless to show you this crap once it's too late to edit you message:

Sorry I missed the debate last night, but ugghhhh god I hate Team runamok with a passion. They think they reinvented the wedge, all hey did was stick sheet metal on top of an old lawnmower. It really pisses me off that they act like Shish-Ka-Bot is a "rule breaker."

They truly did everything wrong in a wedgebot... Vastly underpowered, car steering, thin wedge, unpowered wheels and underweight.

Shish-Kabot has less of a wedge than Gigarange, Upheaval, UberClocker, Lock Jaw and Phoenix have. Shish-Kabot upholds all their "ideals"; simplicitcy in design (it has 6 moving parts), robustness and effectiveness. I would have thought that it would have been a "poster bot" for them, not a subject of hatred.

Also who asked about Shish-Kabot anyways?

Wait, this is their main bot?

If I drew the worst bot I could think of...

Steep wedge
Not invertible
No side/back/underneath armor

It's cannon fodder for pretty much every bot type. Did it actually win anything?

Broken picture...

Their main bot was called Run-Amok. It was the champion of the first season of Robotica.

This thing:

It looks horrible

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #16626 on:** August 21, 2011, 07:08:36 PM »

Yep... That's Run-Amok.

It won the first season of Robotica. The final itself was a 3-way where Tricerabot suicide-bombed Ram Force to give Run Amok an easy win.

But credit where credit is due, it was very clever of them to ditch the wedge in the "Fight to The Finish" against Killer B (flat weaponless box-wedge) - rather than engage their opponent in a wedge war that they'd probably lose, they would dodge Killer B's charges by rolling right over it, and it worked.

Thought it was Run-Amok

Did you reply to him, SKBT?

SKBT · « **Reply #16631 on:** August 21, 2011, 08:17:46 PM »

Nope, I don't want to escalate the issue and technically everyone is entitled to their opinion no-matter how wrong or warped it is.

Also one of you guys should ask him how runaway would do today in combat.
