Off-Topic Discussion / Most Dissapointing Movie's Ever

« on: August 16, 2012, 09:12:29 PM »

There comes a time whenever you get films, you'll always get one that sucks a load of freaking balls, so post here the worst movie's you've ever watched.

To get us started, I'm going with Shrek the Third: Man what a dissapointing movie that was, it didn't even stack up to the first two in terms of humour at all. The fourth one still sucked, but it wasn't as bad as this one.

Off-Topic Discussion / GTM circle of friends

« on: August 16, 2012, 08:54:30 PM »

Just a random thread I made for fun. Talk about user's you became friends with in some form or another (In mine and Badnik's case, fantasy robots) and what situation the friendships in now. Sounds confusing? Oh well

I'll set the ball rolling.

GK: GK was the first person I knew coming onto this forum (We knew each other on the FRA forums and the Robot Wars Wiki) We've talked a few times here and there and are generally good friends. Nowadays I don't speak to him as much, prehaps I should send him a message.

Jonzu95: One of the first people to greet me on the forums, we've had a few bad spots in our friendship, but I can honestly say that he is a good friend of mine. We don't normally communicate through GTM, choosing MSN instead

GoldenFox93: This friendship I like to call "The Rollercoaster Frienship" we've had few ups and downs. (E.g. The anti story time thing of trying to return it to it's former glory and a few happenings on the ARC forum) but we've managed to work through them, the way he communicates to me when resolving a situation between us makes me realise how good of a person he is. In fact, he's the one person on this forum who i have the most in common with. (Young Ones, railways and Street Fighter to name a few)

Badnik96: This friendship only really developed/started during the fall of 2010 when ARC Armageddon was annouced on the ARC forums, we don't talk to each other that much but we share the same interest in fantasy robot tournaments and he will correct me when I'm wrong.

I would list them all, but that would take all night. I'll edit this list soon, so the honourable mentions are.

Preytor_4, Madman3, Chaosmancer, SOTG, Gazea2, S.T.C, IRW, NFX, Doublestrand and King Mushroom.

Talk about your circle of friends here!

Robots Showcase / Clockwork Robotics (Formerly Death Robotics)

« on: November 26, 2010, 11:37:31 AM »

Yep thats me... my team. It consists of me, when the bots are built. I'll of course be team captain, driver and bot designer. My mother, transportation and constantly nagging me, and my stepdad.... a couple of friends might join me too.

My current plan is to build a featherweight. It will be modified from an RC car i have. Im planning to remove the top. and replace it with some aluminium.... or maybe steel. Take off the bumper on the front and replace it with a scoop. Also it will have a rollcage

Here is the current sketch i did a few months ago

« on: August 25, 2010, 05:42:45 AM »

Has this idea been tried before.  (besides the Biohazard replica) to have a 4-bar flipper that functions and can launch its enemy sky high. Would it be possible to make a component that functions like a 4-bar flipper. then attatch the wedge etc etc.
