zealot rushes don't work against a terran wall-in or spine crawler defenses (in SC2)  .

vomiting is one of my fears so I always try and calm down while it happens and not panic but thanks I'm much better now and had a sleep and some water. Hopefully it's all gone away now.

Why are you guys letting JoeBlo win again!?
because it's the most original design. I voted 3 because it could actually fight unlike 7 which can't do anything.
actually it probably could do something, especially if the design was worked on some more. Maybe we could add in criteria to peoples votes so we would need to rate a number of aspects of each BOTM entry.

I thought this thread got deleted, all this topic was about is the fact that most of the posts these days are in the junk yard section when they should be in the showcase and tourney sections it was also about that no matter how much you help some newbies they never learn (referring to sparkey's baby steps showcase).
If you want some respect on the forums learn something about the game seeing as it's suppose to be the reason we all joined up here. instead of posting stupid smileys learn a glitch or something they would be more useful to you as a part of the community.

My Vote goes to #3. It's so Original... And I will probably lose this... 
7 is more original IMO, 3 is basically a BW version of slaying mantis. I haven't seen anything like 7 before.

close between 3 and 7 but I went with 7 because it's more original. I giggled when I seen mini emergency as I'm almost certain that's my AW chassis .

Joe you should beware of some guys who play SC2, I played a guy the other day who quit immediately when the game started and played him again this morning (I was slightly favored) and he beat me with a little over double the actions per minute I was pushing out. The people from platinum and diamond usually get around 100-120 and this guy has about 85 APM for the game and he was in bronze league  . so basically this guy keeps quitting games to stay in the bronze league and win games easy, here's a pic: bunker rush just adds to the cheapness.

can you get a blade going down in front of those T connectors? or even an iron spike would be great.

Me 2, And on a site i found, this site gets over 1500 visitors a day, thats gotta say something.
*facepalm* ok I'm gonna advertise this place on a certain website filled with trolls, maybe then people will realize quality > quantity. It's a game! Why do you care if others build to your standards? If they're having fun, the game has served its purpose. If there is any problem with this forum, it's people taking this way too seriously.
I care that people have gone out of their way to help the new people with tutorials and what not and a select few have chosen to ignore pretty much all help and as sage said this is a RA2 forum we should all care otherwise why are we here?

T Connector looks exposed.
^this, use a separate anchor for each ramplate and attach the ramplates straight to them or one round extender if you can't. you also have enough wait to add some more weapons or weapon breakers. maybe iron spikes angled out of the front?

I have no idea what some people talking about  sparkey, freeziez and co. have no positive impact on the forum in my view.. only negative and if they were to leave it wouldn't hurt the community in anyway. we have lot's of members who do still love the game like Click, Joe and Sage who are doing so much more for us then all these "n00bs" could ever do... great robots, great tournaments, great mods and so on. Also veterans try and help people like sparkey, yet sparkey and co. don't seem to improve or listen most of the time instead they run off to the junk yard section to spam smileys pointlessly.. makes me wonder why anyone would bother with them at all. It really isn't hard to make decent bots that are somewhat original especially after being a member here for like 8 months. maybe you can move their showcases to the junk yard since that's what most all of sparkey's showcase is anyway. this isn't me raging, just speaking my mind (ok maybe I lost a match on SC2) but surely we can brighten up the forum a little bit instead of letting it sink into the junk yard section.

I'd take 2 more clickbeetle's over 1 million more sparkey's any day.

Void rays are my friends most hated unit, they can just go around the back and focus down a base in no time and put that player so far behind it would be hard to recover. I also think Void rays are broken because the ability says it powers up the longer it stays on a single unit/structure but for some reason they own my units when jumping from target to target .

maybe you should try protoss in SC2, colossus and void rays are their brand new win buttons.. throw them in with DT's and carriers...*shakes in boots*.

oh they are only used in practice league games, they are known as novice maps which are basically 1v1 maps with paths blocked off for easy base defense against rushes.
and what I was talking about is the achievement is actually the best way to get them out fast, with zerg you build 1 drone straight away to have 7 on minerals, wait for 200 minerals then build spawning pool, wait for 100 minerals to get an overlord (while the spawning pool is on the way) and then you can just pump out the lings really early.
I'm yet to try out the marine/zealot rush achievements so I'm not sure how different they are.

people saying DSL is better then stock due to realism is kidding themselves, stock is about being creative just as much if not more then just making stacked 36 mace HSers.
For me...
Stock - Creative with the ability to stack.
DSL - Creative with realistic rules and some more components.
Stock still has plenty of uses but people just aren't trying hard enough, even though I hardly play the game I still managed to create new AW's that people have never seen before.
I standby my original post in believing that the forum has gone downhill with the amount of rubbish such as smiley spams and useless posts around.
@ Robo we actually only had one series of Robot Wars here in Australia and battlebots never got to our tv's, so I don't believe that the forums current state has anything to do with lack of robotic combat shows on air these days.
