If he isn't mentally challenged I have no ****ing clue what was going on during robot wars.
I'm no doctor, but I'd wager good money that he and his father Mark both have Aspergers. The phrase "Don't feed the trolls" is completely alien to them. They're incapable of leaving alone any idiotic question that comes through on "Ask Aaron." They just can't resist having a go at someone, thinking that they've embarassed the user by poking fun at the question he anonymously submitted.
It doesn't help that they like to poke fun at people with serious questions; maybe they don't realize that tone of voice isn't transmitted in written form.
If it weren't for my good-citizen nature and the fact that he can track IP's, I'd be gettign my kicks seeing how they react to Robot Wars UK questions.
And that whole business of not accepting UK Robot Wars questions? Don't they realize that giving
any kind of response to said questions is a sign of weakness?
Pray that you never need a favor from the Oregon Dept. of Transportation - if Mark is a typical employee. In fact, I'm really starting to doubt Mark's version of the Ram Force story at Robotica 1, given how apt he is to cry "oppression!"
This was what pushed me over the edge. You'll notice that it
is a UK Robot Wars question, which makes them look like real pushovers:
Q: Can a robot beat [Retired European Hydraulic Piercer Robot] by making itself tall enough to make [Retired European Hydraulic Piercer Robot] cannot bite it?
A: Being taller than the jaw opening of the well-known 'Retired European Hydraulic Piercer Robot' would make it very difficult for the piercer to get a bite. 'Terrifying Overhead Axe Robot' did show up at an internationally televised event with extra-tall polycarbonate side armor to take advantage of this approach, but did not draw 'Retired European Hydraulic Piercer Robot' in the tournament. 'Retired European Hydraulic Piercer Robot' was surprisingly lucky(?) in avoiding competitors who had the best chance of beating it.
I couldn't help but blurt out "Just say Razer you stupid f***."
Oh, and this was cute too (BTW when I say "cute" I mean "why bother?"):
Q: When your team fought in the US & UK tag team championship it looked like Run Away ran into the arena wall then shut down. What do you think happened to it? A: You're talking about the Tag Team event in the Nickelodeon Robot Wars? I know exactly what happened to our robot -- but we no longer answer questions about UK Robot Wars.
