NO DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING IT.

NERC DOESN'T NEEED ANOTHER DUCK TAPE COVERED TOY MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE SPORT.

Yeah seriously, if you turn that thing into a robot at least have the decency to take the body off instead of just duct taping a butter knife to it or some sh**.

I think what Sparklyballs is trying to say is don't copy his building style. That sh**'s trademarked.

Hey, I know this is going to sound like a joke, but that reply you quoted contains copyright material owned by my friend, and I am going to have to ask you to take down that quote and delete it from your computer.

Bazinga and D12 are good bots, what is wrong with you people?

They look stupid and effortless.

D12 has a great win record. It has six wheel drive, is very low to the ground, and is hard to even damage. It's main weakness is if you get under it, it's helpless.

d12 is a ****ing joke. its a biohazard toy with more duck tape than biohazard toy. the guy who "built" (if you can even call what he did building) d12 knows literally nothing about robots besides his toy beats them because he has the lower wedge and spinners tend to choke on the duck tape used to hold the thing together. also it puts up a really boring fight and just isn't fun to watch.

The reason they choke is because of the ridiculous RPM speeds most people run these days. Most people don't take it seriously, and get mad when it kicks their ass.
Oddly, D12 sounds like Diotoir.

That's the reason why I decided against covering an RC car in duck tape/cardboard mesh. It's an effortless douche move.

He lives in my state, but I'm not him.

[SKBT]

"I competed in an hyped RC car race with a lawnmower 11 years ago, ask me anything about robotics. I'm totally the guy to go to."


It's funny because Aaron Jorger.

That was Mike Jorger, not Aaron. Aaron made mostly ants, Mini Max bot series, and Zpatula, which was a modified Biohazard toy, although it was a bit more elegant than D12.

I'm going to mod it to be a rammer. One of the things holding the screws in is falling off, so I have to superglue it.

[Mr. AS]

wouldnt that count as an entanglement device......?

A loooong time ago somebody had taken the lifting arm off of theirs and replaced it with a home made metal pick hammer. I'll see if I can find it.


Just whatever you do please don't leave the stock Biohazard body on it.

[Natef]

I won't.

I'm only worried that I'm going to accidentally destroy it by taking it apart.

On the topic of Robotica, I didn't like the first series. The bots weren't all that interesting (apart from Jawbreaker, Kritical Mass, Panzer, and Juggernaut).

It got better as time went on, I thought- there were some designs in there that I particularly like.

Had a brief shower of hail today, everyone shat themselves thinking it was snow and I had to sort of stand up to a torrent of "HOLY MUTHA****ING sh** ITS SNOWING!!!!!!!!11!!!!!ONE!!!!" posts on Facebook.

I'd like to hear yours.

Here are mine:

Season 2: Flexy Flyer, Whyatica, Ill Tempered Mutt
Season 3: Ultra-Violence, Panzer Mk3, Juggerbot 3.0, Jawbreaker's Revenge

[Jamin]

We all know who the true season 1 winner was.
