Fever got second place, though. And Most Fearsome Opponent. That's an achievement. =P

you can't describe a word with an antonym of that word you are describing =P

Yes you can, that's called an oxymoron. Which means "sharp blunt", I believe. =D

I've been watching this video over and over again. Spoiler'd in case you haven't played it yet.

Looking very nice. I would try to widen the chassis to conceal the NPC axles, personally.

Excellent concept. I'm really looking forward to seeing it work. I take it that's not a paper airplane in the accepted sense, it would just flop about with the heavy motor and propellor there.

Excellent motor-on-top design. Much, much cleaner than my method. Though how did you get the components lined up so close to the Perm without the use of BFE?

thanks to NFX for doing this! it's more work than it seems, and really cool.
I would agree with this. What with it being my first crack at running them, I suppose I could have been expected to make a couple of mistakes with it. Hopefully next time should run smoother. I'm glad everyone's enjoyed it, though. =) Next year should be pretty good.

You're more Lib and slightly more right than I am. Wierd, that.

Damn my perverted brain.

I tried the political compass again. Compare a year and a half ago on the left, to a few minutes ago on the right.

I thought I was heading to the left.

I see. So I can still easily get through. Do they fight in a rumble, however?

My guess is that his Contributor vote was for actually keeping the forum alive. Some people do forget that sometimes.

Looking very nice. Is the motor angled, or is it straight? I can't quite tell from the picture.

Pretty much, yeah. You have to add the edge trimming before you resize it. If you download Paint.NET (I have this), it's a free image editing program that allows you to work in layers, so you can move details "above" or "below" others. It's extremely useful once you get used to it.

You need to resize the entire image, not just the canvas. And you need to save it as a .bmp file. However, if you do apply a skin that isn't 256x256, you can't edit it in the game.

BALLASTS ?

Hoping that I'm not on a placebo effect, they surprisingly work. Pharaoh kept shifting to the right with the distributed battery weight and the ballast fixed it.

Nope, that can work sometimes. Naryar just hates Ballasts, he deems them as pointless and a waste of weight. He also was defeated by them in BBEANS 5. =P

I'd personally swap the beater bars on the end for razors as well. If you go for 2 ME's over the hexplate assembly you have at the moment, perhaps downgrade the armour just a tad, you might get enough weight for a couple more razors on there.

Everyone wants to be my friend. :gawe:

My XBL's in my profile, if you want to drop me an invite. Please mention that you're from GTM, though, because I have a habit of rejecting invitations from people I don't recognise.

Welcome to the boards. =)

If you're looking to build for aesthetics, then you should consider looking into DSL. There's a lot more components to work with, and therefore a lot more possibilities over Stock. Your skinning work is also pretty good, if you want to get some more detail in there, then you could resize the skin to 512x512, or even 1024x1024. The only downside is that it increases the size of the .bot file quite dramatically, but appearance-wise, it give it a real pop. I'm looking forward to seeing some more "IRL" bots from you, and I will disprove Enigma and approve this.

CoD is not a game, it's a marketing scam.
 
Invite sent. When my connection decided not to be defective. I feel like hitting it with a hammer sometimes.
