I think we should just stop promoting everyone unless fully deserved and get on with the point of the forum - eg RA2.
As someone said in the thread, can't remember who, even if your 'status' changes, people won't think any different of you.
I think you should really have to earn these statuses and be picked by those responsible - eg ACAMS.
I don't feel I've done enough for AU or anything, I've just been a forum member, and I think those who ask for these statuses *coughyouknowwhoi'mtalkingaboutcough* are a bit sad. You earn it. Like in actual real life, you earn money (etc), you don't just walk up to people and shout at them telling them to give it to you.
Some people are deserving of higher statuses I will admit, but I don't think we need to promote everyone.
Rant overr.

As soon as it is aproved it will be in signups
Good luck with that. You won't be approved for a long while yet. And I recommend you get better at AIing. I can AI and I'm still too lazy to do it for tournaments I'm in. You will have to AI. So do it.

I haven't, no. Too lazy to AI anything. But I think its a lot better - only worse thing on it is the wheels, which doesnt matter. Looks cooler, better weapon, better armour.

 New bot. Fully remade. I like it. Yeah, today's been the first day I've had to rest in a long while.

Okie Dokie. I've had a free day today (Hell, I've needed it.) and I dashed out a cubey prototype.  Wider wheelbase using the mid attachment point.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but if you have a bot with spin motors only, you only need 1 ant battery per spin motor - whatever the spin motor is (Even a 220kg Dual Perm). I like to have 1 extra just for good luck personally, but yeah. Burst motors change things, they require more ants and I'm not sure how many due to never using them myself, so for your rammer there, you would only need 4 ant batteries.
You're coming along nicely already, well done.

And I would recommend not mixing Stock and DSL, they are quite differently balanced - Stock parts are generally a lot weaker than anything in DSL. But yes, download the ready-to-go DSL 2.1 in Sage's signature if you want DSL - nothing can go wrong with this, as you don't have to do anything. XD

Daaaaaamn, I knew that thing sucked to start with. Now it looks even worse XD

I believe the Bot Exchange is doing this. It's gonna have a list of parts etcetc. For any other 'trivia' there's always the wiki.

Yeah it's named after him, cos he's a beast  Aaaanyway. Back seems exposed to me. But thats about it XD

Do you guys get what he's trying to say? He's saying he finds the stock AI hard, so in the name of something holy that I wouldn't believe in, don't recommend him Starcore! XD Or am I just interpreting this wrong...
What I would do is just build your own machine, just try and learn the ins and outs of bot building - don't use the ones you get given, make your own team and start building a bot. At first it seems complicated, but in time you'll get used to what you need. You start by making the chassis, then adding components in. Obviously, it needs a control board and batteries, as well as motors and wheels for movement. You control the bots by 'wiring' the motors to spin clockwise or anti-clockwise when a button is pressed - the test garage will help frustration here.
Then, I'd recommend trying your bot, improving it if you can, then taking a screenshot and showing us in your own 'Showcase' where people can help you.

Yo guys, this isn't a thread to troll me for, I just thought I'd let you know I might not be around much for a while.
My girlfriend left me on Sunday, to sort out the problems in her life, including her Mum, who was seriously ill. We are best friends, but it hurts.
Next day, my girlfriend's mother committed suicide, so I'm also now grieving, while getting over any hurt and supporting the family.
And next week I'm away on a kayaking coaching course.
A week after this I'm in the north of France for 2 weeks.
I thought that blob of info warranted an update. I'll still be around, just maybe a bit quiet.
This is all authentic, ask martymidget if you really need to.
Cheers (:

You could probably change the pole spike on the second for something slightly more useful/better? No idea to be honest, dunno the weights of things in Stock.
And although the burst is exposed in the first, i oddly really like it XD

INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IS NOW MY NEW BEST FRIEND 
And another klone >=0
*pic*
Yep, a Craaig-y VS. Not sure if 4 Hammer4s on 2 Perm 132s has been done before, but here it is. Forgot the armor (still 1mm tite, I think), and still regular NPCs.
<3 looks sweet (: Immu has another little brother :P
