Off to see Jason Byrne tonight. Third gig I've been to see him at.

Saw Eddie Izzard in the street and had a brief chat with him. He had lipstick on again.

I'm in the middle going "I'm sure I know this ****ing kid." He looks identical to someone who used to go to my school in the year above me, but in the end I didn't know him. Jason Byrne on the right with my mic.

I got called up onto the stage to do some ET thing, so I had to put on a big waterproof coat around my waist, put the sleeves in the pockets then lean forward so it looked like a tiny dude from behind. Then I was given a rubber fingertip which had a red LED in it and I had to stay leaning over and point at a fake moon.

Also, part of the show was to get the audience to come up with a title for the show, and the title was "ET Bend Over" so I kinda had it named after me.

Alright SKBT,
Listen up. No-one said "This is the way you can build. Don't build a robot any other way..." I build my way. I'm not trying to follow anyone else's ways. My style of building. Just because you don't like my style, don't downrep me.

- "Alright SKBT", Confrontational towards a good user. (Minus 1)

- "Listen up.", On new line when it shouldn't be. (Minus 1)

- Also still being confrontational. (Minus 1)

- "No-one said "This is the way you can build. Don't build a robot any other way..."", Yes that's right. Stop acting like they said that. (Minus 1)

- "I build my way.", youre way a sh*t (Minus 1)

- Also, you don't build "your way", you just build badly then don't take advice to improve it. (Minus 1)

- "I'm not trying to follow anyone else's ways.", That's dumb. We can help you become better. (Minus 1)

- (Additional Minus 1 for ignorance.)

- "My style of building.", Dude we get it, pointlessly repeating it doesn't make us suddenly agree with you. (Minus 1)

- "Just because you don't like my style", F*ck bro, you don't have a personal style. (Minus 1) (Extra Minus 1 for endless repetition.)

- "Just because you don't like my style, don't downrep me.", Bad grammar is bad. (Minus 1)

- "don't downrep me.", Caring about rep. (Minus 5)

TOTAL SCORE: -17
RESULT: Shut up, and try to learn before you become a perman00b.

I'm just going to pretend I know what I'm doing.

Top one is Crater Creator, a mostly framework VS, it's a Heavyweight, 598-ish.
Bottom is Dark Trauma which is a replica of a K'nex robot I built. It's a Cruiserweigh even with 10mm Steel, 298-ish.

Both are invertible but they don't deal that much damage.

Real Robotics Discussion / Re: if robot combat was to get back on tv...........

A comedian for a host would be quite a good idea. I'd like someone clever on the show like Dara O'Briain. If it was brought back they'd be very likely to choose Jason Bradbury because of The Gadget Show, but he'd get on my nerves.

Jimmy Carr wouldn't make that good a host, because he can't be himself.

I think the Mythbusters would be quite good at it. Not sure exactly who'd go where. Kari in the pits with Jamie. Adam or Tory would be a good host. Grant and whoever isn't the host out of Adam and Tory would be a good commentary duo.

I don't usually start conversations so I waited for a bit then switched tabs to do other stuff, but kept checking the website to see if there was anything I could reply to. It took 15 minutes before I got it was only me there.

It's a shame I missed the chance to enter another robot. I've just came back home after bringing my lass home from the hospital. Could've knocked a new entry up tonight. Ahh well.

So how will the brackets be formed around the number of entry teams?

Tourney is already finished, man.
