Does the fairyweight class have a size restriction like the UK Antweight class does? I'm guessing that Keres couldn't compete in UK Antweight competitions due to it being unable to fit in a 4 inch cube.
There is no size restriction here. The blade I heard was five inches in length.

Any FPS > Battlefield.
They ripped off Call of Duty since COD4 was released:
COD 4 released, BF release Bad Company 1
WaW = Battlefield 1943
MW2 = BC2
Black Ops = Vietnam Expansion Pack
MW3 = BF3
I wonder what they'll do with BO2
FYI, Battlefield came out first.

Are thwackbots legal in the 30lb Sportsman class?
No, thwacks are not active weapons.

Thanks guys, I think I have everything now. Just one more thing:also your robot shape is still stupid.
Could you please explain? It's both invertible and uses a plow, like antweight champion ShazBot.
Shazbot has a better shape, its plow is attached to an arm, the bot it self is a box shape.

You would need two Tiny ESCs for a bot to work.

This helped a LOT, but I still have some questions:
-Can I get the titanium pre-bent and cut to size? Depends, but it be easier to cut it your self.
-How would I cut UMHW plastic? Also, how would I put all the armor pieces together? You can cut it an ordinary hacksaw. You can put it together with Plastite screws, they're made just for plastics. In a pinch, though, wood screws will work also.
-Aren't Hobbyking parts poorly made? Luck of the draw. The Orange RX are used by many users here, and Turnigy products are at least decent.
-Where would I buy the Velcro? Any hardware store will have it. Super high strength can be found online.
Also, some other notes:
-I had no idea copals used plastic gears, this info helped a lot.
-That tiny esc looks hard to work with, I wanted the sabertooth because it seems easy to use and there's a bunch of tutorial stuff for it at the robot marketplace. All the Tiny Esc needs is a little soldering work to use. They don't need any thing else, you can adjust them with the calibration if needed. The mixing can be done with either with the transmitter or the through a stand alone mixer(Required if you want to use a gyro.)

I see: Don't bother with Copals, they have plastic gears. I suggest the Finger Tech Sliver Spark motor. http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-FT-SSPARK-50.html, I have the Gold spark motor, and it works great. Sliver Sparks have bigger teeth, reducing the chance of striping. Don't bother with the mounts, they won't fit the sparks, even if they did, you would have to bond the mounts with a lexan surface. If you really want a mount, use a finger tech mount. http://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ft-bearing-block. It comes with a ball bearing pressed in, so it won't cause to much strain on the motor shaft. The wheels are fine. Dave's hubs are fancy indeed, but the Finger Tech hubs( http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-FT-LITE-HUBS.html) will work just as well. Avoid Tactic products. Use a Spektrum Dx5e( http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-SPM5500.html) with the Hobby King Orange rx( http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11965__OrangeRx_R610_Spektrum_DSM2_6Ch_2_4Ghz_Receiver_w_Sat_Port_.html). Costs less than that Tactic system, and will work far better. That ESC is nice, but the Finger Tech Tiny ESC( http://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ft-tinyESCv2) is better. It works great, and are way lighter than the Saber tooth. That battery is WAY over kill, that's a huge chunk of your allowed weight. A smaller battery( http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18204__Turnigy_nano_tech_850mAh_4S_45_90C_Lipo_Pack.html) would be much better here. You haven't selected a charger. I'd recommend the Turnigy Accucel-6 50 watt( http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7028__Turnigy_Accucel_6_50W_6A_Balancer_Charger_w_accessories.html). 1/16 thick aluminum is way too thin, go with 1/4 thick UMHW plastic( http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=12550&step=4&showunits=inches&id=785&top_cat=181), easy to work with, super strong, and light weight. 1/8 Grade five titanium heat treated would work wonders for a good spinner killer plow. Check Titanium Joe( http://www.titaniumjoe.com/6al4v%20sheet.htm)! A good way to mount your stuff is high strength Velcro, of the highest quality. Hope that helps you a little.

So, who would be interested in playing N64 games online? I can't post the emulator or the ROMs here, but I can PM them if anyone else wants them.

"I competed in an hyped RC car race with a lawnmower 11 years ago, ask me anything about robotics. I'm totally the guy to go to."
It's funny because Aaron Jorger.
That was Mike Jorger, not Aaron. Aaron made mostly ants, Mini Max bot series, and Zpatula, which was a modified Biohazard toy, although it was a bit more elegant than D12.

d12 is a ****ing joke. its a biohazard toy with more duck tape than biohazard toy. the guy who "built" (if you can even call what he did building) d12 knows literally nothing about robots besides his toy beats them because he has the lower wedge and spinners tend to choke on the duck tape used to hold the thing together. also it puts up a really boring fight and just isn't fun to watch.
The reason they choke is because of the ridiculous RPM speeds most people run these days. Most people don't take it seriously, and get mad when it kicks their ass.
Oddly, D12 sounds like Diotoir.
ok aaron. whatever you say.
He lives in my state, but I'm not him.
