Nary, I've got half a mind to reach through the computer and french kiss you! It worked! I have my chassis back, and the components were no trouble at all to replace. I can't tell you all how grateful I am; thank you so much everyone who helped, all of my rebuilds were crap, and I would never truly be at peace had I not recovered the file. If anyone wants some replicas as a thank you, please let me know, that's pretty much the best thing I can offer.
If in the future anyone else has this problem, you can fix it by transplanting the shell onto another robot. Here's how
1) Create your sacrificial bot (We'll call it a Dummy-bot"). Make it roughly the same shape as the corrupted bot. Give it a paintjob and some components (one control board and one wired motor minimum); try your best to place the components so that they won't end up outside the chassis when you replace the shell.
2) Make a backup of the Dummy-bot and open it in Notepad++. Open up the corrupted file in Notepad++ too.
3) In the corrupted file, find the word "Chassis." There will be a one line gap, then about 200 lines of numbers, then the word "true." Copy all 200-odd lines of numbers and paste them over the 200-odd lines in the Dummy-bot's file.
4) In the corrupted file, find the word "false" followed by about 100-odd lines of numbers. Again, copy them and paste over those in the Dummy-bot's file.
If you did it all correctly, you should end up with your old chassis on your Dummy-bot.

Truth be told I'd never seen that before, good to know. Do I need to take the "3D model of bot with 'buckling' points" portion of the file in addition to the chassis section?

First time i won against EMERGENCY you said ?
Oh, probably by points despite being manhandled the whole match. Because despite not knowing what a wedge was at the time, I had moar weapons.
Pretty much the same for me; in my case it was an incredibly unstable spinner that I had tried to base off Tornado (the stock AI middleweight) All the weapons came off and I got tossed around, but in the end I scraped by on points. Also, you should change the topic title to have EMERGENCY in its name. This is an important thread, people should know what it's all about.

No, but don't let that stop you, it's probably just one of those things where the error disappears as soon as I get an expert to look at it. Humour me?

I'm getting good at not drawing any blood when I do it...
I'm more interested in how that's posible. Do you not have enough blood? Or is it just so clotted up? (no offense)

That would be great, if I can get the empty chassis back then puttign all the components back would be pretty easy. I've changed the topic title; does anyone know how to get the grid and height coordinates?

The bot editor still won't let me save.
Regard rebuilding, are there any tricks I can use to make it easier? I have the old skin, but it's still difficult to get it to line up.

I tried both; no dice.

Ok, so I've got the bot file in the bot editor, but even after I paste a new skin on, the "Save Changes" button in still greyed out, and I can't save changes. Help?

How do I copy the "jargon?" When I try to paste it into Not Perfect's bot file, it just comes out as a blank.
Using Notepad++?
Yes. It can be done in Notepad++ right?

You have copied the bindings into the main Bindings.py folder, right?

Has anyone else seen the 4 Chords Song by Axis of Awesome? I thought it was really clever observation on mainstream music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4I&feature=related#wsIt got me thinking, what other "4 chords" songs are there? All I can think of is "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

Usually when a roboteer makes a sequel 'bot, they strip the original of all the electronics and start from a brand new chassis. My guess would be that George has Chaos 1's empty body shell around in the garage.

Might as well just make that shape as from the chassis, that way you can add the tyre details to it.

Terror Turle, Ziggy, Compete Control, and Son of Smashy are all I can think of.

I assume more than one person can pick the same country? If not, I call dibs on The Netherlands.
