Well actually, while energy is never lost, it "dilutes" in the universe. We actually have sources of energy (like stars and planets) and low energetic regions (like outer space). The laws of thermodynamics state that energy tries to leave the more energetic places to go in the less energetic places (by radiation for the stars) and tend to an equilibrum. So, as the sources of energy the Universe has aren't infinite, the Universe will probably finish with every place on it having the same energy (=heat, so the residue of the Sun (dwarf star) will be as hot as the residue of the Earth (dead planet, something like the Moon), as well as intergalatic space.
So i really don't see how the Universe could eventually come back to a state where Earth could support life again... I agree that the earth most probably won't support life again, but for the reason that the sun will expand and destroy it before it dies completely. But I do belive that the Universe will continue to support life. The reason everything is moving away from each other is the Big Bang. The big question is whether the gravity will pull it back together and make an inverted Big Bang, or if it will continue to grow forever. In the first case it might end upp in a new Big Bang, who knows (It might just be over). This will support life for sure. In the other case we might end up with a place that got the same heat all over the place (not so sure about this), but there can still evolve creatures that can live under these conditions. If I'm right there is made new stars all the time from the particles floating in the universe, so I belive there will always be somewhere where there are more heat than other places. (correct me if I'm wrong) Short version: Earth will die out, at least for a long time, but I belive the universe will always be able to support life, as long as it don't end.

You're 13 and have a girlfriend..?! Is that strange? I got together with my last (and so far only) girlfriend at an age of 13. It lasted for 5 years and 8 months.

Here comes my entry for Brawl of the Builders:  -All the parts are glitched on a Snapper II. -Snapper2 for the wedge. -Caster armor As sage's it can't drive forward and turn left (only one at a time) while the weapons are spinning. I also wanted to add something to the top to stop bots from going over my bot, but it won't drive properly without the casters. Maybe I'll try to update it sometime.

That's right. And with a tiny chassis like on my entry it's good to have for stability too, alongside with the protection of HP Z-Teks and discs.

If you make the chassis only 5 pixels high you can make it invertible with shinies. Also search up on Double Strength Aluminium on the wiki or on the forum.

Here are 2 more atempts at MW FS:  None of them are my entry. I will showcase that one when all bots are in. Both of them are quite OK, but not good enough to fight the mighty Naryar. I guess I most of all tried to make something different than Billy Goat Gruffier. Rolling Eyes was made to awoid the bots with 2 wide wedges, but I guess Face Roller is the only MW FS with 2 wide wedges anyway. Face Roller was made to test out how one spinner with thougher weapons would do. It turned out to loose the weapons first because of lower dmg and same hp. And it had huge problems when other bots came on the other side of the plows, which they often did (driving over the bot).

I'm glad I got nothing to lose and all to win in this fight, as building a decent MW FS was a lot harder then I thought. Bot finally done and sent though. Good Luck all!

I had the same problem myself some time ago, and found out that all servos do that if you spin them 180 degrees from the starting position.

That's something I've been wondering about. Is chaining motors alowed in DSL? It sure aint realistic, as the wire to the 2nd motor would twist along with the motor and snap.

I didn't click it, but I had a look at what you linked to and smiled :)
Back on topic: I'm not sure there are any meaning as to why we live, but I belive the reason we keep on reproducing is that we enjoy doing it.

Ye, the book is best. And you should read "The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide".

My latest atempt at a MW Face spinner:

I liked the idea and the stacking. That said the bot is crap, so I better start think of something new. For some reason the discs aint aligned while the weapon motors are :S
