No victim, no crime.

Eh, it isn't quite the victimless crime it appears to be on the surface. There can be a significant amount of emotional trauma inflicted on friends and family.
hurting someone's feelings != crime

since you have so much weight to work with you definitely need to make it wider and with a shallower front, combined with more front armor like ramplates or something. I wouldn't be against making the drive wider to help turnspeed

also I'm pretty sure 2 black batts is the minimum for hw popups
Pretty sure you noted about there only being one black Supervolt. I had difficulty trying to stack the battery into the other, even when I followed a tutorial for battery stacking and hitting F12 on the keyboard. I'll get to work on it as soon as I can. 
In addition to what Reier said, it can't hurt to spam more razorz, or add some "horns" like R4 to help with getting a perfect 1st hit, which is so important for popups.
More RAZORS?
MOAR RAZORZ

But yeah, stacking sometimes takes a while. It helps if you're running RA2 at 1080p and have a decent mouse, I've found. Just keep jiggling the battery inside the other one in little circles, changing camera angle every 10 seconds. You should also zoom all the way in, using the chassis or paintlab tabs. Moving the battery between the z-teks also makes your wheelbase wider and frees up some space the front, which you can use to make your wedge shallower

No. There shouldn't. Easy as that.

I'm not sure CF should be allowed. It's fair game in stock and DSL but I reckon a Retooled IRL tournament should be completely vanilla for balance purposes, as it's not been done before.
wtf are you on about, CF useage is an IRL thing, not a stock/dsl thing

@mouldy does he own his own life tho, is suicide a violation of NAP?
No because bodily autonomy.
Is suicide without getting prior permission from all the cells in your body a violation of NAP?

To throw it out there, I hate the welfare state in Britain and am so against most welfare in the country. If a person who is 16 can work then they should. That goes up to the age of 65.
Would that include people in further education (i.e. 6th form or Uni)? Even people persuing degrees that would not make them more marketable in regards to the workplace? Should people not have freedom to do what they want with their lives, even if that includes not working (for whatever reason)? Going further, should dedicated stay-at-home housewives (without children) be forced into work?

(Thank you for shortening xD)

Yes, even if you only working for a few hours a week. It's better than nothing. No, I don't believe so. If you are able to work then you should be because society revolves around everyone working together.

You have me there, though. It depends really on what they actually do at home and of course, that's too hard to monitor.
Would you say that it's just morally wrong to intentionally stay out of work, for whatever reason, or would you legally force people to work in that situation, even if they aren't claiming benefits?

Oh, and would you include the mega-rich who wish to retire at like 35, and live off their wealth for the rest of their life?

Some of the questions are better but it's a pain in the arse when they ask you how you feel about 2 things in the same question, an example being, "Do you think that euthanasia and suicide should be legal?". I agree with one but not the other.
But the one is just medically assited suicide so they are both suicide :really_makes_you_think:

Actually no. Euthanasia can be committed under both medical and normal terms of suicide where ever you are in the world, for example if you wanted to die or needed help in committing suicide; your friend can just grab a gun and shoot you at anytime, or a medical reason like your friend pressing the off switch on a life-support machine at anytime  to turn off life support, so you can slowly die. However either way, that would be classed as murder and that person who assisted you in euthanasia will be charged with the same charges as a murderer. The only time euthanasia is legal is when the government medically allows a person to die or turn off life-support in certain cases like if you're terminally ill or fully paralysed, then the government will allow it in certain cases.
 
Face it, euthanasia is still the same as suicide no matter what. Even when you think it's more to do with medical terms, euthanasia can still happen outside of government relation and hospitals themselves.

It's not though. Euthanasia is LEGAL suicide whereas suicide is illegal (or that's how it should be). To me, euthanasia makes sense because the person isn't able to live anymore. Suicide however, is done by people who can still work. They should be working to help the economy, not ending their life because they are down. Everyone can become depressed sometimes in their life, you need to fight through it. Not give up and let others suffer because of your lack of self-motivation.

I'm sorry, I won't admit that they are the same. They are the same in concept but done for different reasons. 
Saying that suicidal people are being selfish for removing themselves from the workforce is pretty heartless.

It's not heartless at all. It's selfish not to help the economy that others are working for. Why should the majority suffer because of a few?
It certainly is. Nobody is choosing to be suicidal, by your logic should we also force the elderly and children to work, lest they take more from society than they give?

Anyway, you might be able to make the case for it being a good utilitarian idea, but I don't see how you can claim that it's not a heartless proposal.

Maybe I'm just being picky but for an official tournament, should we really be using silly music?
This, especially for the final

Not a big deal tho, at least its uploaded now.
