Whats your obsessions with casters? That bot would look so much nicer without the casters.

I think we all know what fight we'd like to see. Frezal vs Badger.
Considering that he hasn't touched RA2 in about 8 years I don't think it would be much of a match. Maybe he lost his legal copy or something 
He entered GTMCS, lad.
OK, barely touched.

We're going to have to agree to disagree, since I'm not reading that wall of text.

Needs more weaponry for a LW. Try reducing the battery to a single intercooled (the red one), and maybe reducing the drive to TWMRs. Maybe 2 stronger weapons on 2 arms would be better than 4 weak weapons on 4 arms, but maybe you want to keep it with 4 for the aesthetic, idk.

That's what I've been saying; it's not supposed to function as a tablet. And it is cheap for a console, but it's also very expensive for a handheld or a tablet, markets that it sits in between.
It'll be interesting to see how it fares outside of Japan, I have a feeling that it's not going to fare well in Europe in particular.
Not entierly true..
100% entirely true.

A person who pays for the products they enjoy? Yes. I don't have much of a problem if you already own the original cartridges, but theft is theft.
It's not really theft if you're just making a copy. A forums that distributes abandonware younger than most nintendo games probably isn't the place to be grandstanding about this kinda thing. If you're so against this kinda thing, why do you hang around on a site that goes against your principles? Which the Switch has. Yes, it also doesn't use its touchscreen as its main input. By your definition, a DS is a tablet. And my point wasn't that it isn't a tablet, it's that it isn't a gaming tablet. Which it is not. Which is why most gaming occurs on tablets and cell phones. Whether or not you consider things like Pokémon Go to be "real" games doesn't change this fact. Firstly, the switch isn't going to run mobile games, so your point is totally invalid. And if it did, you wouldn't buy it. But by all means, download an emulator on your phone and try to play any reasonably-paced "core" games using a touchscreen and tell me how that works out for you. I can't believe that you're actually defending the touchscreen as a legitimate form of control for 'real' games. And on top of that, all of the games for the switch are going to use the joycons for the vast majority of input, so again your point is invalid. Sure it does.
haha, have fun checking your e-mails, or browsing the web on this thing. Seriously man. There's a reason the iPad is useable for this kinda stuff, and it's because of iOS. Nintendo are 100% not capable of creating an OS that provides a good tablet experience, and they're not going to try because the switch is a gaming platform, not an iPad mini competitor.
I'm not sure how you use tablets, but I usually keep my iPad roughly the same distance away from my face as my MacBook. And considering that one of the featured modes of the Switch is a tabletop mode, I would say that comparing the PPI of the screen to a laptop's is fair.
I can't make any comment on how sh**ty your monitor is as I don't know anything about it. I'm sure you make sure to shout its specs at everyone you know, though.
I'm pretty sure you don't and even if you do, everyone else does not. PPI is basically irrelevant as a measure of a screen's quality, you just had to cherrypick the single redeeming stat for the screen to make it seem like it has a redeeming feature. The screen is one that would be found on tablets a third of the price. 720p is not enough for modern AAA games. It was great in 2007, as was Internet Explorer in 1995. It's easy to criticize technologies from years past if you ignore their context.
No, it was awful in 2007 and even worse now. I know, because I used it in 2007. I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.
I bet you are too, insulting anyone that goes against your blind fanboyism.
You've never even used the WiiU browser. How do you know this to be true?
Because nintendo's onscreen keyboard is going to be ass to use? Maybe the wii u browser was OK since you could use the gamepad as a keyboard, but the switch only has 1 screen, and the keyboard is going to take up the majority of that when held horizonally Web browsing will likely be better on my phone, but Netflix, Hulu, etc. won't. On the Switch, I can start watching something on my TV, and seamlessly take the video with me to the kitchen, my bedroom, or wherever. I know, Arrested Development won't be in 4K, but somehow I don't think that'll bother me.
Again, why would anyone use the switch, with terrible battery life and an awful screen compared to a cheaper android tablet, to watch media like this over a tablet? Everything you're describing can and has been done better by a tablet device. I can argue this based on the fact that gigaflops don't make my dick hard. To me, taking a console Zelda with me on a tablet is far more impressive than counting the pixels or the frames.
Maybe the near-absence of 3rd party games will convince you, if your zelda games looking like they're from half a decade ago does not. Part of the reason for awful 3rd party support for recent nintendo consoles has been due to the added cost posting to much worse hardware, and the gulf is considerably bigger than ever before between the switch and Xbox One S/PS4 Pro. That's certainly possible. It's also possible that they'll see a familiar ARM architecture as an opportunity to make games that they can also port to mobile devices. Outside of Reddit, not too many people give a sh** about tech specs.
You realise that nobody is going to want to play mobile games on this thing, right? You included? That's not at all what I said. When you go on dates, do you bring up how hardcore you are?
Again with the insults. You said that you're fine with the tiny-ass joycons, but this PS4 controllers are too small. Again with the double standard for Nintendo products.

Except the switch is going to be a beyond terrible tablet, Gaming tablet.
 Totally wrong. The defining feature of a tablet is a large touchscreen, which is a beyond awful interface for gaming, which is why the switch has "proper" controllers. It's a large handheld in tablet form-factor. It has none of the functionality of a 'real' tablet, like an iPad. 720p isn't a poor resolution for this size of screen. The PPI is around 230, which for most people's eyesight, is damn good. Hell, it's better than a Retina MacBook. 720p is laughable for a tablet. Hell, it's laughable for a phone. You can't compare a laptop screen's PPI to a tablet screen's PPI, this thing is going to be closer to your face than a laptop screen. By your metric, this crappy 720p screen is going to be nicer too look at than my 4k monitor @ 157ppi. It's almost as if this is a game console. Which is what I'm saying, it's going to result in a horrid user experience for people wanting to use it like an iPad. Which would be fine, except idiots are going to buy this thing expecting an iPad and Wii U in one. It's not going to work as a web browsing device. Upon release, the Wii's browser was great. The WiiU's is the best browser available on any console. idk if you ever tried to use the wii browser for an extended period of time. I did, and it was like pulling teeth. Totally painful. Extremely limited functionally and compatibility, and slow. I haven't had experience with the Wii U browser, but saying that its the best console browser means nothing. They're all awful to the point of uselessness. Nobody's going to use this thing over a polished phone/tablet browser. Again, the switch is going to be an awful multimedia and web browsing device compared to a phone or tablet. And there's a reason why Nintendo also isn't marketing it as an Xbone or PS4 competitor: they offer entirely different experiences. And the switch is going to be an objectively worse experience from a hardware standpoint, I don't see how you can argue this. In addition, the incredibly anemic hardware is going to scare off 3rd party devs, so enjoy only being able to play 1st party games. I have used a Wiimote sideways, and while it's not the best experience, it works. The Joy-Con are shaped in a way that look a bit more comfortable to hold, even though the controls might get a little cramped. (An issue I've had with every Dual Shock with the exception of the 4.) "These awful tiny controllers are totally fine, because my hands are too big for normal sized controllers anyway!" Which is why you steal them? Who says that he doesn't own legal copies? And who cares if he does? Don't try to take the moral highground purely because it fits your narrative.

Hey, doesn't look bad for a beginner; it looks like you have the basics down. Maybe consider using fewer, heavier batteries rather than many lighter ones? And maybe make the chassis slightly lower so the bot is invertible? And I see a couple of the ants are intersecting the wheels, I think you should try to fix that.

Just a clarification, no cheatbot2?
No CB2, but hidden components such as the 140cm and blue snapper are fine
i personally think if you are going pure stock that anyone can get it should just be v1.3 with no hidden components
it'll avoid any confusion
Not really, since the 1.4 dl on GTM is the one with unhidden components, and the version that everyone has

Considering that this is a gaming tablet with some pretty advanced tech, it makes sense that the launch price is $300. For comparison, an iPad Mini 4 sells at an MSRP of $400 USD, and has no controllers, no dock (which in and of itself is much more advanced than it appears), etc. Yes, a PS4 and Xbone can be purchased in cheaper bundles at the present time, but the experience they offer is fundamentally different than what the Switch offers.
Except the switch is going to be a beyond terrible tablet, with a poor resolution screen and an OS created for gaming. Have you ever tried to browse the web on a Wii or Wii U? Exactly. There's a reason that Nintendo aren't marketing the switch as an iPad competitor, they fulfil separate use cases, despite both having a tablet form factor.

The small wedges look kinda meh, and they're on metal hinges too I bet. Try and find a wedge that fits the shape of the bot better.

Whats a moral victory?
Think of the US Election. Clinton lost the election but she stuck to her values, always was herself and so she could call it a moral victory.
