I can see where you're coming from, but you do have to remember that the Wii is made for a completely different audience than the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3. Whilst the two others are targeted at the more hardcore gaming audience, with games such as Gears of War, Gran Turismo and the upcoming Forza 4 (I might be getting that. =D), the Wii is a much more family-oriented console, with more friendly games that have a "pick-up-and-play" quality to them, that the more simulation-style games don't have. You can see this in the average age ratings, most games on the Wii have a rating of 3, with the occasional 7, whereas some of the more popular games for the 360 and PS3 are up in the region of 16 and 18. So while you may think that the Wii is a childish and overrated console, I can guarantee that there are plenty of people in the gaming world who think otherwise.
I feel like quoting my previous post, in an effort to spite Hard Bot. Clearly, he wants us to attack him in an angry manner, and he has so far succeeded somewhat. So I propose we give him a metaphorical punch on the nose and, instead, have a reasonable, rational, and logical debate about the advantages and disadvantages of the Wii Entertainment System when compared to its two main console rivals in the videogaming market. =D

Flipper should definitely be skinned. It looks alright, though, I also like the extra flippermaker & aluminium extender. Because it makes it look like a piston.  I had the idea previously on my updated version of Taur 2.

I had to RUN for the bus today. I don't do running.

Cheatbot2? I'm learning some new stuff here =D
Simply name your robot "cheatbot2" to access crazy and overpowered parts. =D None of which are normally legal in DSL tourneys.

@freeziez
The walker weight bonuses are not very good advantages, besides lw.
LW walker extra weight = 50kg
MW,HW, and SHW walker extra weight = 0kg
Consider the weight gained when none of the usual limit is used for drive.
Correct. I think it all pans out at around a 20-30% weight bonus once the minimum weight for drive is taken into account.

Personally, I don't like bots that are invertible and have a wedge. If you get flipped over, it's a massive hinderance more than anything. I think the weight would be better spent on armour, drive or weaponry, but that's just me. I would really try and make this invertible, though, try using the Small Drum components instead of the medium, to give you a lighter and therefore faster weapon setup, and upgrade the motors to NPC Fasts. That might solve your turning issue.

I got an iphone!
Poor show. Nothing against you, Natef, but I can't stand the iPhone. I don't like gadgets that do EVERYTHING, because you end up getting too reliant on it, and if you lose it, you're <expletive>ed. I don't like things with exposed touchpads either, they just feel so flimsy and brittle. I keep thinking I'm going to break the damn thing. And they're too much of a fashion item, I feel, the fact that it's "THE MUST-HAVE ACCESSORY". <expletive> off, I don't need accessories. Form over function is a complete waste of time and resources, as far as I'm concerned. I'm happy with my Sony Ericsson k130i Brick, thank you very much. =)

That looks quite cute. I wouldn't mind having one as a pet or something.

Looks very nice. I love the shape of it for some reason. How does it do with regards to havoking?

It actually tests alright. It managed to beat SCv4 Fury and the one from The Spaminators a couple of times.

Doesn't actually look too bad. I'd personally use a T connector instead of a Y, and I really would aim for making it invertible. I'm guessing RAD drive, 1 Black?

Stock Dump 2: Stock Harder  Left: Update to Schizophrenia from a few pages ago. 797.9, 2 Blacks, 1 SnapperII, 2 plows, 3 casters underneath, DSA. Middle: Rejected BOTM concept. 394.9, DSA, 1 Black. Could add discs a size larger. Right: Another failed BOTM concept. 399.0, 1 Black, DSA. Works fairly well.

Well, that didn't go entirely as I'd planned. I didn't know FBS would be that jerky when it was spinning. I guess that's the problem with using two servos. Oh well, I still won. Let's see how I do with three wheels. I'll bet I lose next round. I've gone W-L-W-L-W at the moment. WHAT MAGIC IS KEEPING SCRAP DADDY ALIVE?

Because the Anti-ballast components don't work in DSL for some reason. I've installed them in the regular way, but they don't show up in the Bot Lab. What I could do is build most of it in NAR AI, import it to DSL, then add all the CO2 tanks and so forth.
Even JB's weightmaker smartzones don't work?
They're the ones I'm using. I might modify a component to give it negative weight or something. I'm slightly annoyed, because I liked my LW. I'll stick it in my showcase in a while.

<expletive>. Well done, SM.
So I'm stuck with the SHW bracket. I can only build SHW in NAR AI, and if I import any bots from NAR AI into DSL, they crash...at least I've got the MW bracket to do well.

Looks like a pretty good idea, in my view. I tried something like this before, but I think this is better. I wouldn't use the Tite halfsheet on the front there, you get a third the HP of the Full Sheet for half the weight.
