(I live in Cambridge, suck on it)
Was just in Cambridge today, looking round the Engineering Department of the Uni.
Cool; I actually live just outside Cambridge (Comberton, which also has some pretty kickass education), rather than in it, but I go fairly frequently.

I actually play drop C with plain 9s; I've got so used to it that it's no longer an issue, plus legato is easy as all  .

As far as I know there's only one thing I've acheived really (best first tournament run; that's unless Nary's first tourney was BBEANS 4).

He's Scottish, same as NFX and Sys. I'm the British one
Well, United Kingdomish then. 
Edit: Hang on a minute, Scotland is in Great Britain so Scottish still = British.
Might not be for long.
Would be best if it were after the next priministerial election since Scottland is full of Labour voters so we might knock the Tories of their high horse.
Actually, most of us vote SNP
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH
lol you be imperialist

Wasn't that already the case? Apparently up there, Conservative MPs are more endangered than Ospreys.
True, but this would probably make the process even faster.

Another bot.  8 ants, Plastic 3. Fairly wedgy, decent against spinners, can OOTA some stuff too. here's Conraaa's side shot of Future Breed Machine;  ...which has proven pretty wedgy in testing, beating HnM4 and several others.

Just gave Future Breed Machine (see my showcase) a wedge test and it's done fine; I've attached it to this post.

Ah... Now I get it...
Finland = Best place to live. (I don't like to be in other countries much)
This. UK sucks. Weather is ehhh in East Anglia (I live in Cambridge, suck on it) and there are plenty of decent schools and historical place (see cambridge), but the current governmental policies are dumb as all hell atm. If there was a country I wanted to live in it would probably be Norway, Sweden or Finland; good education (especially Finland), some of the highest living standards in the world (the highest in the case of Norway) and decent employment rates. could be worse, crime rate is pretty low round my neck of the woods. And when I think what my alternates to staying put are... Britain has horrible food and unpleasant weather, Europeans have no respect for personal space, Japan has insane population densities, everything south of the border is owned by drug kingpins, Canada has cold weather and high taxes, India also has horrible food, the Middle East is just plain out of the question, Australia is full of criminals and deadly animas, and Africa is unfit for sustaining human life.
We could do with tougher immigration policies though, ours are actually less stringent than most countries.
High taxes isn't really an issue when you have decent employment rates, which can't be said for the US atm (though Canada and UK and so on are also suffering currently). In addition it's got some of the highest inequality rates of any highly developed country; add to that the excessive patriocism (I can't even stand people going "God Save The Queen" over here, sorry TRB) and heavy homophobic communities in some states and really I would hate to live there long term. Seriously though, the Scandinavian countries would be my favorite areas to live in, followed by maybe Luxembourg or Liechtenstein (which isn't in the EU and has virtually no unemployment, so EU bashers take note).

Look at Scrap's showcase until you can brain again and start building.

Could you get a side shot? I think it's good, I can't really tell from that angle though.
Will in a short bit.

Looking good ! And original !
The shell panel isn't doing anything useful though.
It's there to deter obnoxious rammersI'll replace it with an ant.

Got inspiration from Pwn's bot earlier today.  10 ants, Ali 5 (gaahhhhh). It's been decent in testing, being damaging, nippy, and very good at taking off wheels and wedges. I'll give it a thorough wedge test soon.

I've started listening to classical music now! God help me.
(Image removed from quote.)
On the bright side I have more names to work with now. I was going to call this one Sara's Bande but that was too punny, I thought.
Classical is pretty good bro. Wedges are a little too thin. I'd try and widen the front end a bit so you can get your wedges further away from each other. Also the outer mags are quite vulnerable, so I'd either protect them or swap them for something with more HP like a perm 80.

Bot's attached.
BTW you now need to play music from Annihilator's first two albums due to moral duty.

What about instead of an overdrive pedal, another distortion pedal, would that work?
I'm going to test out some overdrives on saturday with my Blackstar pedal.
Distortion pedals sounds less tight than overdrives when stacked over an already present distortion from the amp or a pedal. Ibanez Tube Screamers, Maxon OD808s, and Digitech Bad Monkeys are pretty much the staple choices.

holy diver this album's insane.
Try The Legion's album, Revocation, that can grind some heads with sheer black metal awesome.
listened to some songs on youtube, pretty coolio, downloading now..
lol i didn't know you liked black metal madman. :P
I like most BM bands these days, though Mayhem and a few others aren't exactly favourites. I also can't stand a lot of Avante-Guarde Black Metal.
