No, its name was originally Cheatbot, when it was entered into that thing FOTEPX did that fell through. I knew that would be confusing.

I find it ironic that the Trov glitch is intended to save weight, then you've filled it up with a bunch of nothing.
Lower the chassis height, that should be your first thing. A juggler only really requires a Piglet or Single Mag to work properly, so you can save weight with that, and possibly add more drive. I'm not a fan of sticking things on the wedge like that, I'd prefer to use a Skirt Hinge and Steel Sheets for protection. 4644

I'm not entirely sure that's how it works. I'm inclined to guess you could use Topknot.py for that, but I've really no idea. I'd try and get all the razors on the same side, personally.

Do you mean spin one direction, and then the other? I think you're wanting something like SwitchDirEcoOmni.py, but I'm really no expert on AI.

I reckon you could probably tidy up the extender work at the front, and you should ideally have all the weapons on the same side of the arm with this style of thwackbot. When the robot spins one way, the razors on the one side aren't going to hit the opponent.

I think a better way of explaining it is that a Z-Tek (HP or otherwise) cannot be used to power a wheel.
Also, aren't flail SnS pretty bad in Stock? 4648

...I'm fairly happy with my heats. RPM seems to have drawn quite a few Drumbots, which might cause some problems, but on the whole, I think I'll do alright. =)

Why do the pricks pirate a £15 game, which has lifetime updates for free? Honestly, the only thing I post on the Minecraft.net forums is "Buy Minecraft, you prick!"I can't believe that there are people that would pirate Minecraft. :/ If anything on the internet costs money, there will be people who will attempt to pirate it. This is pretty much a certainty. 4655

I've never heard of GAZ, I take it they were a communist car maker, Aston Martin have made quite a few different cars (take the Lagonda and the DB7, for example) my dad's old Alfa GTV was very reliable, while Lancia had an excellent run of cars, and at least they were bold enough to try new things, instead of the same-y, uninspiring boxes that are made for the US market. 4656

Harpoon Spikes are only found in NAR AI, it wouldn't work in ordinary DSL. Hence why they're classed as custom components, and sometimes referred to as "Narpoons".
I'd try razor tips with this design, and possibly try to add more flails instead of extenders on one flail. I'd like to see it from the front as well, to see how the motors and Panic Attack skirt are attached. 4657

Most Jaguars are pretty good. Then there was that one they designed to appeal to Americans, and - lo and behold - it was chronic.
I should point out, in rebuttal to the Unreliable Fiat theory, I've got a third-hand 13-year-old R-registered Fiat Cinquecento Sporting, it has only gone wrong once in the 10 years it's been in the family, and we didn't even need to take it to a garage to repair it. 4658

I like some supercars because of the technological and engineering aspect of things, like - for example - the Ariel Atom. I don't really like the sort of "rocket-powered sledgehammer" approach that some of the cars designed for the US market seem to be, though. Thought you need to remember that the road network is completely different on both sides of the pond. They have 16-lane interstates and Route 66, we have un-limited Autobahns and the B969.

You do think it's going to be more painful that it actually is. There's a really tiny piercing feeling, but then not too much after that.
