No no no, #4 doesn't have servo drive. It has HPZ Drive, and there are two Lo Power Servos stacked into each other, which is how I get the tribars like that. The servos don't actually spin, they're static.
And don't worry about #6, Fracture. After some more tweaking, it now has HPZs + Rubbers and is 799.0.

Hmm. I might only get to send in two, then. Oh well. =] I'm still prototyping and such.

I only learned to read l3375p35k a few months ago, having been on the Internet for nearly ten and a half years, and I still hate the ruddy language
Every decently intelligent person does. If it does keep going, it'll eventually seep out into the real world, nobody will be able to understand anyone, and the entirity of civilisation will just cease to function. "Don't worry, we can always Google what to do when society implodes...oh, right..."

The majority of YouTube, or at least the popular stuff, is horrendous. The popular variety of anything is horrendous, because that means the idiots have jumped in it and taken over. Nobody in business gives a crap about making something remotely intelligent or having any sense of integrity, they just want something that will sell, and the best way to do that is to make something for thick people. That way nobody's left out, and they get more people buying it overall.
Humanity is going down the <expletive>ing toilet, if we keep going at this rate.

Also, a lot of the better youtubers have grown sick of youtube for these and other reasons, and have left.
Quoted for truth. If not for my friends and subscriptions and subscribers and things, I'd have left a long time ago. At the same time however, I can't just get up and leave- my subscribed channels (IE. Sonny's, for instance) still produce good content, and I've carefully cultivated my friend list over a period of time- erasing that would mean three years' work down the toilet. So for now, I've basically got to put up with all these dodgy partnerships, the WMG wankers, this whole "THIS CONTAINS CONTENT FROM AMERICAN TELLY AND HAS BEEN BLOCKED IN YOUR COUNTRY ON COPYRIGHT GROUNDS" fiasco (why have that? Youtube never used to do that), and of course, some of the most dysfunctional, GIFT-abiding morons I've yet seen on the internet. In all honesty, the horrible spelling and complete lack of any form of punctuation makes you weep for the future of humanity alone, never mind the obsceneties and unbridled hatred over such trivial matters.
All of this is true, but I properly can't stand people who deliberately spell things incorrectly, or using so-called "leetspeak" in a desperate attempt to appear cool, because they just come across as stupid and ignorant to me. And it's all very well plucking the agrument about language constantly evolving out of the air, but I put it to you that absolutely no words in the works of Shakespeare or Dickens were ever spelt using numbers.

How ironic would it be if the server was upgraded, and Craaig lost his AU title? =D

It's the same for everything, though. Over the past few years, I have slowly been losing what little faith I had left in the human race, as a species. I'm just waiting patiently for all the thick ones to kill themselves in an irrelevant and pointless war.

Stock Dump.  1) LW Rammer. 248.9, DSA, Nifty/CB Stacked, 1 SnapperII. Very little havok, but slightly front-heavy. 2) MW HS/Rammer. 398.9, DSA, Nifty/CB Stacked, 2 SnapperII's. Same chassis as the previous one, definitely too fast for its own good. 3) MW HS. 398.8, DSA, 1 Black, 1 SnapperII. 15 maces and a plow with RAD drive, so it's not QUITE a klone of Fury. Possible RoboLeague entry. 4) HW SnS. 800.0, DSA, 4 Pinks, 2 Low Power Servos. 36 irons and 12 maces, 48 weapons in total. Not tooo unbalanced when it loses anything. Possible Ironbot entry. 5) MW True Popup. 398-ish, DSA, 2 Blacks, 1 SnapperII. A bit like Geice's one, but hopefully better. 5 razors on a Snapper2 as well. Entered into RoboLeague. 6) HW VS. 797.something, DSA, 2 Blacks. Tweaked it a little bit, aligned the motors better and gave it better stabilisers. And a name - Upward Inflection.

That is a concept that I have NEVER understood. Seriously, I <expletive>ing hate the guy.

Am I the only one here who has no clue what Bounty-Hunter syndrome is exactly?
It's like what Bounty Hunter had in BBEANS 5, where you attach a nice extender setup, with drive, weaponry, etc. on the secret AP of the SnapperII, and using the normal AP to create a wedge from. Because the wedges are effectively static in comparison to the drive motors and such, they're not actually very good, as opposed to if they'd been used solely for wedges, where they may have been somewhat okay. Bounty Hunter Syndrome's just what I call it, it's easier than having to explain it every time.

Looks very nice. Doesn't have Bounty Hunter Syndrome, does it?

Same logic as GF93. I'm all for it if it's been sufficiently tested and such. =]

At least you got it in the right thread this time :P
Quiet, you. My post jumped threads. Yeah, that's what happened.

Yeah. I was posting in the Battlebots thread, I'm sure of it. Maybe a thread got deleted while I was typing or something, or does it not work like that?

Fair enough. I at least had a good run. =) Is there going to be a Third place playoff, just out of interest?

How did I jump from the Battlebots thread to this one?

« on: June 27, 2011, 05:17:46 PM »
That was...surprising. What did I actually hit that KO'd me suddenly?
Still, great match, Thyrus. =] Good luck in the final.

Can't do that until you send an entrant, Sparkey.
