I don't get it.
That's why there was no response in the "..." line. That's what it represents.
I get it
Its not funny
Works better in real life anyway.
 
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to kill myself.

I watched the first two parts. Third part said "Publishing in progress" or something when I last looked at it. Seemed quite good to me.
 
EDIT: It STILL says "Publishing in progress".

'tis OK, I've read the Darwin Awards already  :laughing
 
Anyway, I'm halfway through skinning Purse for Replica Wars 2. I've fixed the steering problems, and improved the flipper, so now its capable of OOTAing opponents. I'll send it off this week.
So in effect NFX, you'd better prepare to eat those words about me   ;)

I am inclined to disagree. My 360 rep has solved its speed and turning issues, and it's still capable of dealing out massive amounts of damage before the other bot has a chance to get a hit in. So we shall see, once the brackets are put up.

Hm. You might have a point, but my biggest concern with 360 is its lack of a srimech and wide space under the disc. The gap is just the right size for a low wedge to slot under, so therefore, once Purse flips it over, 360 is going into orbit   :approve:

That is also my main concern. I didn't want to enter a flipper, seeing as almost everyone else was, so I entered a massively destructive disc instead. But this, again, relies on you getting the hit before I do.

Good point. Although to me, it seemed everyone was entering bar spinners, therefore, I wanted to build an incredibly low wedge to counter them.

^Yeah... I'm working on it now. Hopefully the stock splash should be up by the end of tomorrow. Then the DSL splash and then I will post up the brackets and start the vids.
