AC WAS NOT the ORIGINAL 36 HS.
Infinity was. But technically they had the same exact setup, so they are both the original :D

I torrented the Windows OS and put it on a DVD to make it an installation disc. Obviously it worked.

oh, so SHS = shell spinner and SS = Side Spinner? (Like that one bot in my showcase)
And we should have a name for SnS/HS hybrid.
HSnS?

You could fit a DDT if you remade the chassis.

O: Full Body Spinner - Taking the concept of the spinner to the extreme, a full body spinner (AKA shell spinner or tuna can spinner) rotates the entire outer shell of the robot as a stored energy weapon. Other robot components (batteries, weapon motor casing) may be attached to the shell to increase the spinning mass while keeping the mass of the drive train to a minimum. An FBS robot takes several seconds to spin the heavy shell up to effective speed, and they must evade their opponent while waiting for that speed. The 1995 US Robot Wars heavyweight co-champion Blendo was the first effective full body spinner. O: FBS = shell spinner? Also, it looks like SnS was a type made for RA2...

Yea, I like SHS as well. its simple and kinda fits the theme of our robot types.

I know we all know what most of the bot types are, but I think we need a master list that new guys can visit and that will also regulate all opinions on what type a bot is.
;
But first, and here's the reason I wanted to start this thread, I need to know: what's the difference between a FBS and SnS? The wiki says
"The basic idea of a FBS is : make all your chassis spin, but still being able to drive."
That makes really no sense... and have never seen a bot that can do that (besides with the cool AI.py that that one guy made...)
So here's what I propose-
FBS = A robot with static or flail weapons on a spinning chassis.
SnS = A mix of a HS and an FBS, with horizontal spinning weapon motors attached to a spinning chassis.
OR
SnS = A robot with static or flail weapons on a spinning chassis.
SHS = A mix of a HS and an SnS, with horizontal spinning weapon motors attached to a spinning chassis.
and we just disregard FBS to halt confusion.
Thoughts?

A hit won't cause the same exact damage every singe time it hits. Difference of speed, angle, amount of weapon surface hit, etc all come into play.

Ya Ounce, that really wasn't a very good insult/comeback/retort at all. Read it again and you'll see what I mean...

if you take away the chatterbox most of the posts are about RA2...

You can't say that JoeBlo. As it was brought up by Inf in his HIERARCHY thread, even the veterans have no power to do anything. We cannot prevent spamming or rubbish posts at all, but Mods and Admins can. THAT is why it is your job. People don't just realize one day: "Hey, I'm not going to spam anymore and I will post like an educated person."
That doesn't happen. We need intervention by you guys to instigate some discipline. Since you are not willing to give Veterans any power, you MUST take that burden on YOUR shoulders, because the people themselves won't.

wrong joe. You have to right click Bindings.PY, not Bindings, because that could be Bindings.PYC, WHICH IS WRONG.
hehe.
