What you could do is add something like a Large DSL Disc, or 100cm Disc, and add a few Cutting Teeth, or Beater Bars onto that. Besides, it really doesn't matter if you use useless components, as long as it looks cool. Take a look at Cage Of Mirrors in my showcase, I entered it into B4ttlebots. Looks beautiful, but can't fight for <expletive>.

Metal Hinge wedges = Poor show. But don't worry, I say that to everyone who does it. =) You only see wedges like that on the side of bots, such as Panic Attack, for some protection. I think it should do fine without wedges, you could upgrade the armour instead. It reminds me of Disconstructor from Series 7 of the UK wars somewhat.

It may be a problem with the bindings. Check the Bindings.py file, and make sure you've got all the Python files that the bots use, that they're all spelt correctly, and there's no syntax errors in the bindings lines.

It is a great community here, all the regulars have a role. Of sorts. But yeah, caring about something and reading up on the history of it are different things. I'm just glad I've found somewhere to spend some time and have fun with something that I enjoy. =)

Self-righting looks awesome. =D Would it not be better if the rear wheens were mounted a bit lower down? It looks like the size of the front wheels might keep them off the ground.

Awesomeness. It's like a cross between Bulldog Breed and GBH from Series 2. How's the self-righting? And why can't we see the other two wheels in the side view?

Valhalla doesn't seem to exist just as much as Jotunn do
you can't prove the nonexistence of afterlife !
You can't prove the non-existence of leprechauns.
Well that was a random counter... also a weak one.
Actually, it's perfectly valid. It's the same reason you get glitches in video games, you can't prove the non-existence of ANYTHING, because there will always be some things that you miss. If you find something physical, then that's proven it's existence, but if you don't find anything, then that doesn't prove it's non-existence. It could very easily mean you just haven't looked hard enough.

No problem, I'm happy to help out. =) As are most of the others around here. Let us know if there's anything else you're not too familiar with, but take a look around first to see if there's an answer already.

1) IRL = In Real Life. Basically designs that you would see fighting in real-world competition.
2) A Ring Spinner is a design that runs an outer ring around the chassis, normally from friction or gearings. Since this can't be done in RA2, you pretty much make an invertible Sheck Spinner.
3) JoeBlo's Narmor-B-Gone patch is basically a modified skirt hinge with no collision mesh.
4) BFE is Bot File Editing, where you alter parts of the .bot file using something like Notepad++, and AAM is Advanced Attachment Method, where you swap the .gmf file for that of another component. Both of these enable you to build robots that would not normally be doable inside the Bot Lab.

Something similar. Principal and Chairman of the Board have been bullying the staff and embezzling college funds in order to keep the Principal's wife happy. Allegedly. Although the Chairman's already resigned, so it's accomplished something. It's all over the local papers.

Normally you get a big rush at the start, when people have already built their entries, then a lull in the middle, and finally another rush at the end as the deadline approaches, when builders have been testing and re-testing to iron out any flaws.

Commet's weapons don't need to be on individual MEs. Pandora's Box doesn't need the back plow and you should upgrade the weapon motor.
Comet's weapon setup can work at times, it doesn't give the opponent any weak extender work to aim for. I'll agree with you on Pandora's Box, though, the back plow seems a bit pointless, and there really should be 132's on this rather than 80's.

If you try Pausing the game as you add the Hinges, they won't flop about like they do when it's unpaused. Try attaching the hinges, then the wedges, before anything else. I think that should help with your AGOD somewhat.

The Robot Formerly Known As Silver Devil
Interesting chassis shape, I don't normally do that sort of thing. Good use of Hax Mode, though, this is one of those instances when it could definitely come in handy. It looks a bit narrow to me, though, it could get smacked away easily. How does it fare against HS or Sheck Spinners?

Good work. I have a feeling it's going to rebel and slowly prise your robot in two.

Interesting weapon choice. I would choose more chassis protection and/or maybe some weapons on the top of the hexplates instead of overlapping the razors like that, one's just going to block the other.

I don't consider Buddhism a religion. I consider it a lifestyle. As a general rule, religions have to have some belief about the world in general (and this normally results in a god), otherwise you're just following a different way of life.
That's what a religion is.
Religion is a different way of life centred around a belief that usually - but not always - centres around one or more deities
Yes and Buddhism is way way of life centered around a belief in reincarnation and nirvana and and all that cool stuff, so it's a religion.
Is Brony a religion?
We could make it one. During one of the previous censuses somewhere, in the box labeled "Select your religion. If Other, please specify.", so many people wrote 'Jedi', that it had to be recognised as a religion. There's no reason why it wouldn't work with Brony. =D
