I can only assume it functions similarly to the real world thwack bots with navigation while spinning assuming there's no trickery involved.
The basic idea in that system, which is now generally referred to as the melty brain system, uses a reference point and a control telling the robot which direction to move in relation to that point. The motor controller pulses the motor(s) in such a way that it navigates the arena while maintaining its rotational speed.
RA2 may actually make it somewhat more simple as the AI can simply have the FBS navigate toward the opponent.
Of course there may be some other form of coding wizardry I'm not thinking of, but this is how it's done on most real thwack bots that are capable of navigating while spinning.

You are 55.6% Good.
You are 10.3% Chaotic.
Alignment: Neutral Good
You do the best good that a person could be expected to do. You are devoted to helping others. You are willing to work with authority figures, but you do not feel any particular allegiance to them.
You are the stereotypical “Benefactor.” You believe in doing good without any particular bias for or against order.
Examples of charactersand people who fit into the same alignment as you include Mother Theresa, Ghandi, Gandalf, Indiana Jones, O-Bi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Harry Potter, Frodo Baggins, and the Dalai Lama.

Of all the ways to lose, that is one of the most amusing.

someone hacked imageshack and replaced all the images yesterday for a few hours. Wasn't sure if/when the stuff would be restored.

Looks like someone hacked imageshack, killing most of the pics in the thread. Here's the cars/bots shot again, this time on my own hosting-

Hahahaha, that was awesome. Who would have guessed that the bot that suffered a complete wheelectomy would win the 2nd and 3rd fights

It is a VS, it doesn't hit the ground, and the disks are balanced.

 Built purely to see if it was possible to do a disk like that. Not terribly effective, but it does get a nice bite.

maybe have the bye bots face a random draw out of the top 8/16 finishers

Almost time to watch me get my bot handed to me.

Well, there's this:  also have an '03 Silverado that's my main vehicle. (reg cab, short bed) At some point, I need to get to fixing up a mid 60's boat that's been in the family since it was new. Splitting ownership on this with my uncle.

Oops. Voted for the wrong choice. (Firefox doesn't want to cooperate. D: )
I agree with Yayoi. XD
By the way, will DSL 3 be released before BBEANS 6 starts? If so, I'll have to rebuild my DSL Lightweight Armada, but it's a small price to pay. I say bugger backwards compatibility.

Mine's submitted. It'll either do very well or suck horribly. I'm hoping for the former.

Another bone to pick: Putting Lu-Tze in a "Gone Missing" category? Do you know how horrible that is? She didn't go missing; she ****ing died! We were informed of this when it happened. So she never went missing. There was no period of time where people were wondering, "Hey, where did Lu-Tze go?" She was active up until her death. Poor choice of words, Sage. I'm going to catch crap for this, I know, but what would you suggest? I get a feeling "Best worm food" or "Best corpses" or "Best casket stuffers" would be worse.
