Does DSC's bot have a Smartzone named "weapon"?

Oh yeah, Well what happens when your E-Girlfreind is a GUY? Huh what then?
We have been on webcam together. And you obviously missed the part when I said I visited her a week ago. I do know she's a girl. Also, why were we discussing tit punching?

I don't think E-relationships count 
I have been in an e-relationship for four and a half years. We first met a week ago. So screw you. =P

How about this - no baseplate components (except batteries & control boards) can be added subsequent revisions, and you can't reshape the chassis? That way, even the "placeholder" bot will show evidence that the person was intent on building something with a functioning drive and weapons system.
I agree on reshaped chassis shouldn't be updated. But I believe if you want to move internals to make it more combat effective, then it's perfectly fine.
Oh yeah, moving them is fine it's just that if you decide you want more wheels, or to change your weapon type then you're out of luck. We're shooting for a rule set that encourages people not to submit their robots until they're completely happy with them.
I'm fine with this idea. I see minor updates as changes to the robot that do not significantly alter the way it functions. Swapping from irons to maces, for example, would be fine in my view. Adding wheels or changing the weapon system would be out of line, I reckon. On the subject of GF anf FOTEPX, if they don't actually have a proper entry for the tourney, then I think S_M should be allowed to enter in their place. He did win the spot in freeziez' next tourney, it's just that he forgot about it. And if he does have an entrant, then I don't think there's much we can do to stop him, really.

I disagree, that would leave the extenders more exposed. I'd try and get Mini wheels on there, rather than Ants.

Hey! I NEED a reserved spot! Another reason I missed this was because I was at Church Camp.
No, you <expletive>ing don't NEED a reserved spot. If you wanted a spot, then you should have sent a bot, like everyone else did.

I had to fight him way back in the first BTTB. I was soundly thrashed. =D

Ounce was definitely deserving of that particular award, though. Congratulations to everyone who won something, though, and I'll almost certainly be returning for the sequel. =D

I think 123 can still send, going by the front page. I sincerely hope he does, that this was crazy.

Also, try to use Shinies if you can.
Most newcomers THINK this is good advice, however there are instances where rubbers are useful, especially if you have the weight for it. They give you a lower ground clearance, and thus better wedges, which is useful on this style of robot. =] And the weaponry looks a little bit slapdash for me, in all honesty.

I'm confused as to why JD voted for Frost as the Unlickiest bot. Ounce is definitely deserving of that one, though.
Because he made a popup without realizing the finals would be a rumble. And the popup was prison-raped in the end.
Strikes me as pretty unlucky.
It strikes me as not reading the rules properly...

Do you have Frenzy.py in your AI folder?

I think it's because popups have been firing forwards for so long, people assume that's the "True" version of a popup.

Regular Popups fire their weapons forwards from the back. True Popups fire their weapons upwards from under the front wedge, a bit more like a conventional flipper.

Jedi is officially a religion now. After many people has the same idea of how to say "<expletive> you" to the census people.

It's your own thread, so I assume it's fine. =]
I'm guessing Serge has been busy with either some awesome piece of coding or some banal tax returns. Nothing in between. =P

I think controversy is a bit strong. It's more of a fairly heated debate.
It's great that you want to help out with the community and the game, there's not really been enough newcomers with that sort of intention. Plus it eases the burden of everyone else a little bit. But you are still something of an unknown quantity, you've only been here a couple of months, if that. Achieving custom titles normally takes quite a bit longer than that. I think I can say with confidence that you'll have Tech Advisor by the end of the year, though.
