GF constantly derails threads and discussions intentionally, it seems. That's pretty much all he does now.
agreed

its like hes not even trying to be a good productive member other than the (very) occasional tourney entry, nowadays hes just referencing whatever the phuck he can (aka LEL +1 POST) and whoring for rep/au status

Can you believe Kossokei is yet another member brought in by the rest of the Junkyard dwellers?

i wouldnt count him out (hurr funi as hell robot combat ref xd) just yet..... maybe he just has builders block

I've got builder's block up the rear, but there is a couple of bots I'm trying to keep un-showcased on purpose, just in case I get the balls to throw them into an un-showcased bots only HW tourney.

I think this is considered derailing, but eh. Nice reference btw

Anyway, I don't see how defensively playing disrupts gameplay.. if I were a boxer (robot combat to boxer analogy, yay) I'd want to beat the living crap out of my opponent, because my fans would want to see me beat the living crap out of my opponent, and I'm sure it'd be boring for the opponent if it wasn't any sort of challenge. Or maybe I'm missing something and we aren't talking about combat robotics..

I was being a smart ass point out how the original house robot, seen here, could easily beat any of the misshapen forklifts that competed in FIRST competitions.

This year it was Pitching Machines that grew wheels. No mutant forklifts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1FKMCPXY7s&feature=youtube_gdata_player#ws

Moose (name of the bot) was the only bot that played defense.

Also I'm convinced that FIRST rigged the final at Philly 11. After I broke the Dupont teams bot in the match before they were allowed to borrow another teams robot and there was mysterious spotty radio reception for all 3 robots on the team I was on durring that match and only that match.
Well, you know, they probably noticed the FUN-O-METER was pointing too far in your favor, so they had to administer some de-funning to keep the fun balance equal. See? NOW EVERYONE CAN HAVE FUN IN A PERFECT SOCIETY WHERE NO ONE LOSES.

People with that "everybody's a winner" attitude obviously never won anything.

^Obviously.

I really want to do something productive right now, but my give-a-crapometer is pointing to -7. There goes another half hour of my slowly dying vacation...

Same here. My ideas jar is pretty empty as well, so I've come up with my own RA2 Bot Design Generator. Roll a dice and flip a coin to decide what bot you will build. All I need to do is find a dice.

luckily ideas for stock bots just come at a stream to me

also "everyone-is-a-winner" is just plain idiotic, when you get out into the real world there is no concept like that, yes you CAN go broke, you CAN lose your job to another, better employee, you CAN fail @ things etc

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

hi

Anyway I'm gonna use this for BW Bash, my first concoction is an odd-numbered wheel drive bot with co2 weapons, concussion damage and no wedge. So it'll probably be a SnS.

I made the randomsier into a program, for your convenience. Is it worth a thread in the RA2 general discussion subforum?
