Epicness. I'm seeing them as an army for some reason, with Nyx as the captain, and the two antweights as reconnaissance.

Right, time for a video. =) I think it's somewhat relevant to the discussion currently going on. Should probably warn for some expletives ahead if the play button is clicked.

Looks pretty effective to me. I'd have thought it would leave a few scars, rather than kicking stuff right up. Although they'd be substantially less than the 30lbs limit, won't they?

They'll start smoking, but since they're attached to the baseplate, they won't fall off. If you take a look at Puncture III in my showcase, or on the Wiki, it's only got Plastic 1 Armour, but since the motors envelop pretty much all the chassis, it's very difficult to KO. The motors'll start smoking, it'll be going slower than usual, but it'll still be going. 2326

You need JoeBlo's Narmor-B-Gone fix. It removes that annoying collision mesh from the skirt hinge, so then it has no collision mesh at all, except the silver bit. I'm not entirely sure where you can get it from, though. 2327

Epicness. I imagine protecting the chains wouldn't be too necessary, since there's not many weapons in the Sportsman class capable of damaging them. I also like that off-center paintjob, I think it's better than your other bots for some reason. Hopefully the weaponry works well.

Stop caring, is my advice. I stopped caring about five or six years ago, and I'm doing more or less alright. =)
The trouble is that if you're actually trying to become "popular", so to speak, you will soon find out that the people who are in those circles are incredibly, incredibly shallow. You could be the best friend anyone could ask for, but if you don't have the latest X-Factor iPod Wi-Fi Handheld trainers, you're going to get kicked out without a second's notice. At least that's my impression of them. 2330

In terms of IRL, it's a decent bot, although the wedge is just plain bad. If you were to widen the front of the chassis, and shrink the front wedge so it fit, like Plunberbird 2's Bulldozer Blade, that would give it a much better appearance, I reckon. Or even just bend it over so it faces upwards and merges in with the ramplates and the rest of the front bits. It'd suck, but at least it would appear vastly more IRL, in my view.

I do like the HS, but the arms on the hammer look far too flimsy for my liking.

Prove to me that you are your own entity, and not just an alternate personally that I have created for myself.You have to believe, and trust your senses.

You could still Trov it and get all the batteries in, you'd just need more than four points. But it's cool if you don't necessarily want to use it, it doesn't offer as great an advantage as something like Snapper Loading or eFFeing.

My friend Greg's sent me that image about seven times for some reason. He also skived off a couple of times to take some cannabis with friends, so that might explain some of it.

Lack of inspiration has been keeping me from building anything recently. I think I've got an idea for this one, though. I'll give it a try, and see what I come up with.

Several hundred years ago, people were convinced that if you were able to swim, you were a witch. Human perceptions change with things of that nature, though physical properties of an object, such as size, weight, texture, time, can be said to be facts. Colour as well, though people with colour-blindness might screw that theory up a bit.

I believe he is refuting everything that has ever been proven. Although one person's experience may differ from that of others. Synesthesia, for example, where you see colours when you hear sounds. I can't remember who it was that thought the lights went down before an orchestra played so you could see the colours better. But take, for example, mathematics. Physics. Chemistry. The majority of these can be classified as "facts". e.g., 1+2=3

Snowball fights at my old high school usually involve concealed rocks and other such underhanded methods. There should ideally be some sort of officiating group for snowball fights.

Three front wedges like that, and the wedges at the side are a tad pointless, in my view. As are the upward-pointing razor tips. You could try a more conventional wamming rack, and perhaps toughen up the armour.
Titanium Halfsheet is only really useful for underside protection, directly onto the baseplate. Try a Full Sheet, it's got three times the HP for half the weight. |
