Everyone who takes an arrow to the knee should take a mace to the face.
Venko hasn't been summoned so that isn't possible.
We don't yet have the required amount of goats or waffles to perform the ritual.
not to mention blue dye :P
And where are we going to find a wireframe model of Michael Parkinson from?

It's cool. =D I'm just having a think about whether or not I should send one in on my own.

Looks exceptional. I especially like the layered way the weapons are laid out. With all that weight on the Perms, though, are the weapons not a little bit slow?

Erm...no. That's not what he meant at all. You want to make a V shape with the arms pointing almost sideways, so it forms a gap that the opponent can go into. Like what RPB has with the plows, or Reflection in Ironbot.

They could barely predict the sun coming up in the morning, let alone the entire planet coming to an end. Humanity's going to extinguish itself LONG before the rock we happen to exist on perishes.

Looks a bit narrow for my liking. But not too bad. I'd definitely try to mount them sideways rather than forwards, because the rear ones aren't going to see much action until the front ones fall off, and that'll probably be about 2 years.

For <expletive>'s sake, the world's not going to end. The mayan calendar has been mistranslated. It actually reads "End Of The Age" rather than "End Of The World". Now stop <expletive>ing going on about it, grow up, and enjoy yourself.

Since I've figured out how to BFE chassis height, I might have a stab at a T.R.A.C.I.E. rep tomorrow.

Awesomesauce. My family never does stuff like that. Enjoy your time alone, and don't break any stuff.

LW is scoring no points because the weapons on the ground. You should find a way around that.
Spinner looks nice and retro. I like. Even though it's comparatively fail. =D
Hammer is an interesting design. What does the Hammer Head intersect?

Does it still self-right?

I'd try and get at least one more ramplate on the front, personally. And perhapr something to stop the opponent fron going straight over the top, but only if that wouldn't interfere with self-righting.

Looks like a very nice rammer now. If you turn off the "Snap To Grid" feature, then you can get a much more airtight chassis, giving you more weight for weaponry and so forth. A generally good rule is to build the chassis around the components, and not the other way around. =)

Something else you could try is Stacking, or placing multiple components in the same space. This works very well with the Supervolt Batteries, they're very bulky and cumbersome, and you could save a substantial amount of chassis weight if you can pull it off. Unfortunately, there's no hard and fast way to make it work, it's more a case of trial and error, but the results are definitely worth it.

SAAS is confusing. I got an Award Notice for my HNC when I didn't even apply for one. My mum doesn't think I'm eligible either. I'll have to sort this out during the holidays, but I I am eligible, then whoopee. :gawe:

Nice. Technically my college finishes today, but I only get classes Monday through Wednesday. And because we've gone through the coursework so quickly, I only had to be there on Monday. So I've been on holiday for three days already. :gawe:

A popup that is not a true popup. It's just a regular popup. Plus I think SKBT has trademarked the phrase "False Popup" after RoboLeague.

I'm really not sure what weight class it is. If it's HW, then it's going to be far too slow, if it's MW then the chassis is eating up far too much weight. I'd also try to get all the razors pointing in the same direction, rather than alternating like you have them at the moment. They'll all hit at the same time, and therefore cause more damage to your opponent.

It's going to be an excellent de-weaponer, though. It would actually go quite well in the team I was putting together. =D

If anyone tells you to go to lemonparty.org, for the love of GOD, ignore them.

Please.

That was circulating around my school YEARS ago. Along with Blue Waffle and thatsnotsexy. What took you so long to "discover" it?

That one looks better. =) Bit simplistic, but not too bad.
