I'd love to get in on this one.. am I right in thinking that the rumbles end up with loads of different weightclasses? *fears for my LWs*

He did quite well considering, didn't he? ^^
Sure did - only like 10seconds behind Draper, who they were going on about being a real veteran.

SOTG, your cousin is in the olympics?
Yep. Johnathan Akinyemi, the Canoeist and only Olympian in Team Nigeria
Ah, so that explains the Team Nigeria pictures 8D
I'm so proud of him for getting as far as he did. He did excellent, considering he's hardly ever done whitewater before, and this is his first Olympics
If he doesn't do whitewater normally, what does he usually do then?
Flatwater. he doesn't train in rapids
Seriously? The course at Lee Valley is pretty tricky as wildwater slalom courses go (I should know :L) so good on him if he only usually trains flatwater. Only really following the slalom in the Olympics, because it's, well, my thing XD I just don't do it competitively these days. (Avid readers may notice my use of Wildwater instead of Whitewater - interesting fact, we're not meant to say whitewater as apparently it makes it seem like only white people can do it. Oh political correctness <3)

6 more teams AI'd and ready to go. Still awaiting updates from some people - will drop a pm probably tomorrow.

I'll check them over and get some AIing done this evening.
Oh and Gauche? You may want to look at the My Little Pwnies thread. No disrespect to MNB, and I'm hoping he won't take any, but that's been in signups since October. So don't even think about calling this dead (and yes, I know MLP is starting to move along :P)

el bumpo this have died.
Wow. I answered this a few days ago. And you've technically broken the rules too - I said 1 upgrade. You updated your LW a few minutes after sending your team, and are now sending an 'Upgrade Placeholder' - breaking 2 rules (1 upgrade, no placeholders). Rep down from me too. Think you can run this better? Go ahead and run a 40-something bot tournament then.

This has slowed because AIing is a long, slow, laborious task with very low payoff. This is why I've always told people to learn for themselves, AI 2 bots, and if everyone does that, I don't have to AI 40-something making it better for everyone - you guys learn a skill, I don't hate the tournament before I even run it, and it speeds up. I was planning to do some tomorrow, and then a lot this weekend too.
HOWEVER. I did send a PM out WEEKS ago telling those who said 'I'll send an update/AI' to send it in, and I'm still waiting on about 5.

My only gripe is the extender visible at the front. Don't know why.

That's bad D: And I've always wanted a strange fish.. but too much moneys, with too many Pyro hats to acquire (Currently using a Brain Slug, Sight for Sore Eyes and Stockbroker's Scarf.)

If you're finding it too uncontrollable, try some slightly less grippy wheels, or less motors if you have more than 2. A certain championship winning rammer had only 2 pairs of NPC Fasts, and Technos I believe.. Will never forgive that thing, NFX -_- :P But yeah, check out what everyone else is up to in the showcases to see if that helps at all, I imagine it'd help get you back up to speed - and on that note, welcome back :)

Had an enjoyable evening buying/selling.
My Engie now doesn't have to wear the burden of the Proof of Purchase, now he has an Industrial Festivizer and his own Teddy Roosebelt :D Meanwhile, Pyro got a Birdcage and a tie. He don't know what's goin' on.

I just hope you don't follow the current tradition of building robots with two bloody separate wedges, seriously it's getting really annoying now
It's been tradition for a very long time, and for good reason. I love your ideas though Jamin, always thought turrets are mega cool.
