And that's why you don't date characters from The Land Before Time. Yep yep yep.

You just killed me. Thanks :P

Eh, Andy, just drop a bot in your showcase once a week or somethin- and you can run a tourney over a few months fairly easily. It's just we have a bunch of impatient peeps who can't wait that long. Unless I remind people about COTT. :P

That and you're more likely to grab interest in it now than you were a year ago.

We all have coloured names. Black is a colour, right?

That's racist.

I'm trying to INCLUDE the black usernames into their little club, come on man. :(

It is if you only get 4 of the 16, and only one of them is serious.

I died inside that day.

I made the mistake of spending my high school years meticulously memorizing the names of everyone who joined AceUplink and all I have to show for it is a purple name.

Don't make the same mistake(s) as me.  :gawe:

my brown username cost me like 3k

I got mine for $200 get on my level

mine was probably a tiny bit under $200
Ive spent ~£200 on robots and no coloured name for me  :dumb)

We've all been here so ****ing long that if we start giving away ranks for being here for a certain amount of time, soon everybody would be that rank and it wouldn't mean a goddamn thing.

putting together a kit =/= building a bot.

Dude, I've got two proper featherweight robots and I'm not brown named. I would be if they weren't kits. I plan on making a few featherweights too, but it doesn't mean I've built them.


EDIT:
i also used parts not from the kit
None of the weapons that are on Tankslapper came with it either. Making a wedge and a spike doesn't mean I can make a robot, just a pointy thing and a scoopy thing.

fire arrow uses spark motors and tiny escs. by your logic most other 1lb robots are kits

I think there was a thread somewhere, where you post your bot/bots you've built and you get the roboteer title.
