RA2 combined with memes

It's not a meme if there's only one.

Are you using IE6?  You need to at least update to the newest IE.

On the RFS forums, they are still up, there's a link in MikeNCR's DSL showcase somewheres.

For those too lazy to find it.

I hear he's actually an accomplished accordion player.

Did you know, less than half of his songs are actually parodies?

I dunno much about him, I just listen to some of his parodies and heard that little snippet about the accordions somewhere.

It's good to know you guys think I got potential. :)

Yeah, road block box has "wasting weight with style" written all over him, as do some of my other bots.  I guess I'll get my head around these extenders eventually.  I just gotta figure out a way to put all the necessities (drive, batters, CB, etc.) in while leaving enough room for the baseplate attachment points for all the other stuff.  Right now I'm sorta building around the drive-train.

I'll see if I can get working on Chevron again today.  I'd much rather wait until I get back to my mom's and onto my main computer sometime after dinner.

Your definition of hip hip isn't definitely isn't what the general public's is.

Some songs are about being the best hip hop artist on the face of the planet, or how important the artist is, or .

[sh**removed]**** tha police[/sh**removed]

ANYWAY, a black guy was sitting on his porch next door and was playing "**** tha police" OVER AND OVER AND OVER.......I hate that sh**!

I hate it when black people blast crappy music like that, especially in their cars.

Hip hop tells a story about feeling good and partying, rap, is...the other stuff.

please show me a hip hop song that sucks!

It's an opinion thing, and based on my opinion I'd have too many examples.

Something you should be concerned about is the pope getting away with running a child rape ring. What has the world come to when this sort of thing is acceptable?

I forgot about that.  Don't get me started on the church.

EXACTLEY

The media has you brainwashed!!!!

that IS NOT HIP HOP

IT'S GAY RAP AND R AND B

Ok then, since I'm not going to listen to that entire song and torture myself to prove a point, lets try another I can bear to listen to.

Webster (which I wouldn't readily define as brainwashing media) defines hip hop as "the stylized rhythmic music that commonly accompanies rap; also : rap together with this music".

So by definition Boom Boom Pow is hip hop, and I think its garbage.

Want to talk about what the world is coming too?  The leader of the most powerful country in the world is kicking back during his umpteenth vacation, a psychotic Korean is possibly in control of nuclear weapons, and apparently what your supposed to do when you leak lethal fossil fuels into the ocean is wait for the ecosystem to collapse before capping it.

Now I listen to a relatively wide variety of music.  I have little respect or regard for hip hop.  But when a girl dances to a hip hop song in a marginally provocative way, it's no reason to say "What is this world coming to?"  I mean, if you took a quick trip over to the land of 4chan you'd find girls of the same age doing things ALOT more disgusting.

tl;dr - Hip hop sucks (at least in my opinion), but there are bigger problems out there to worry about.

it looks like your using 4 snappers, you really only need 2 for that setup. the blue snappers are great for attaching two parts of robots to it, in this case your wedges and 1 motor could go on a single blue snapper by using both attachment points.

getting rid of a couple of snappers will free up some space for a baseplate to setup your plow.

Gah! This is so frustrating, I can't seem to get everything to work right.  Either the extender limit bites me, or it's too low for the wedge, or it's not going to be set up for the ram plates.

The plow is there to hold the opponent on top.  Should I replace it with something or just get rid of it?

Also, I'll see what I can do with the whole extenders thing.

4wd, as requested.  Anything else?

It's approaching the max, but I still got some to work with.  It's not enough for another good spinner though.





By the way guys, I was wanted to ask something.  What do you guys think of me as a builder so far?  Am I doing good?  Is there any general mistakes I keep making?

Just wanted to know.

I fixed up the wedges.  The new ram plate wedge not only looks slick and is more effective, but I also found out I can use it to self-right the robot. :mrgreen:

I'm gonna try the other suggestions (adding another spinner/more drive) tomorrow.  I've also got plans for better side protection.  No internal pictures for now because I didn't change any internals yet.

Wedge setup = ewwwwwww

Yeah I know.  I put the blades there in an attempt to make the wedge wider and have some sort of armor but I don't think they're gonna serve both purposes very well.

Would it be a good idea to try ram plates?

Bot looks cool tho. Why is it 610 kgs? Build it to either MW or HW, but not inbetween.

It's still a work in progress.

I'm trying to get suggestions on what I ought to do with some of the weight.

Well, I'm at my dads again, so I decided to work on something new again.  This time I tried to make a juggler.  I used a few pics of jugglers from the wiki as references.

For a first attempt at constructing a type of robot that's supposedly tricky to construct right, I think I did ok.  I sorta don't have any good standards to compare this to.  Personally, I think it looks kinda crap.  It's spinner's wobble to-and-fro and the armor I put on the wedge is admittedly a bad design.  Nonetheless, it still got under EMERGENCY and turned him into iron filings within seconds.

Feedback and suggestions are greatly appreciated, as always.

Oh, and I named him Chevron.  No real reason why.
