Looks pretty good to me. I likw Pwn's idea for an SnS hybrid, if you try Beaters directly to the disc, you'd be able to save 24kg, which you could use to add stronger drive and such. Which armour does it have at the moment?

I'd agree with ty4er on that. I'm a decent builder, but there are builders out there who are better than I am. =)
Anyow, here's my top 5, in no particular order.
Sage
Pwnator
Conraaa

I can see where you're coming from, but it's perfectly within the rules for him to do that, therefore it can't be classed as cheating. I see it more like the variation of Poker where you can hand some bad cards in your hand back for some better ones. I can't remember the name, but it's a similar principle. Besides, there's really not much anyone can do at this point, it's entirely GK's decision as to who he swaps with.

You could look at this another way - he saw you as the biggest threat in the bracket. That's not a bad thing, it means you've put together a good bot. And like I've said, he could have used the division swap on ANYONE. If the brackets had fallen differently, if it was me in that division, for example, then the likelihood is that he would have swapped with me. If you had a tougher division, then he probably wouldn't have swapped with you. It is only because of how the brackets fell that he's elected to swap with you, and you're not being thrown out of the tournament. You're simply being transferred to a different division, you still have a good chance in this.

Also, can you swap me with GF93, please.
Oh no, you freaking won't.
Groudon, I don't want him to use it on me.
GF93, you don't really have a choice in the matter. GK was given a Division swap last tournament for winning, he could have used it on anyone. He could have used it on me (tbh, that's what I thought he was going to do), and I wouldn't have been too happy, but I'd still have gone through with it. Besides, you're not being kicked out of the tournament, you're just being moved into a different division with different opponents. It's just the way the draw fell, and how the Division Swap works. I wouldn't want you to up stick and leave the tourney because of something like this, you've still got a decent chance.
Well in all honesty, when I next see him, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. If he is looking to screw me over because he knows he can't win otherwise, he obviously picked the wrong person.
He's not looking to screw you over, he earned the Division Swap as a prize in the previous tournament. If you'd won the Division swap, and you'd decided to swap with GK, I'm sure he wouldn't be quite so upset by it. Like I've said, it is NOT a personal attack on you, the Division Swap could have been used on anyone. Me, Naryar, even GRW. He's trying to better his chances in the tournament, which he is perfectly entitled to do with his Division Swap, and I can understand that you're quite annoyed with that, but all his decision was based on is the luck of the draw. I'm almost certain that he wasn't looking to screw you over.

Trying to get myself back into Stock building.  Still a 36HS, usual single SnapperII, HPZ's, two plows and DSA, but powered by 3 Nifties this time. The logic being that less weight is spent on excessive battery power, and more weight can be used on defenses, such as the 4 casters on the underside. And the iron on the front, which might have been a bit pointless. Tribars are at stupid angles because that's the only way they would attach. I'm probably gonig to rebuild this at some point, it's only proof of concept at the moment.

Is it statically mounted? That could explain why it's not particularly effective, or perhaps it's striking the ground. I'd try putting the wheels right at the back of the bot, to keep them on the ground, so you can move at all times. I built a similar bot from a SnapperII a while back, I think it had broadly the same stuff on it, but a Nifty should be enough for this, according to whoever it was that told me that. Something in the back of my mind telling me it was either Sage or Naryar.

Very, VERY nice indeed. Excellent use of Storm Skirts, that is how skirt defense should be used in IRL building. I cannot wait to see this in action. Does it still hit the target with the hammer being off-center?

Congratulations to JD. Well done to you. Also, congratulations to Conraaa, you're really starting to make a name for yourself with stuff like this. Nice work. One last thing, I didn't enver, because I had no ideas.

As opposed to the real, genuine Santa that no-one has seen. You should put up surveillance, catch him on camera and sell it to CBS News or something. You would make <expletive>loads of money.
Actually, and I am not making this up, Santa lives next door to my gran.

Is anyone else getting sick of Christmas? I'll be thankful when it's over and we can all get on with our <expletive>ing lives.
I wonder if I'll get a suspiciously triangular package this year.

You could build the extender stabilisers outwards at an angle, so they have a wider stance.

I'm not a fan of the skirts, but I think it's okay to have it in, personally.

I just stick with the normal one. I'm used to it. It's less overpowering than the Black Rain, it looks clean and easy to read.
