Honestly people there has to be someway to prove it's legit without telling you how exactly to do it.

What would convince you?

But more importantly, I don't believe it because "exist but can never enter my reality" is no different from "not exist".

So someone you see on TV doesn't exist, because you have not seen them in real life for yourself?
A better analogy is "the person I thought I knew on TV most likely does not exist".  Fake personality, makeups, fake names, you name it, they do it.  The only thing that is needed to not believe is "not enough evidences".  If you have to prove "not exist" to not believe, you would have to believe in invisible pink unicorn.
Easy to prove, it will be a unicorn, thus solid, therefore it must make contact with everything it touches. I have never been touched by an invisible unicorn. It could not be a liquid, as a unicorn has a certain shape, and an invisible unicorn made of gas? That would be called air.
And if the unicorn is invisible, it cannot have a colour, so it cannot be pink.  :trollface
Hold on a sec, just when the heck did you touch an unicorn?  Oh I got it you bought some Twilight Sparkle toys.

It follows that if you take that toy into a dark room, turn off the light, and touch it, you just touched an unicorn that you couldn't see.
Fixed!
And why do you assume that I would buy an MLP toy?

Looks quite old-school. Not bad. And that looks like Starcore V1 or something, V4 is MUCH more challenging.

Also, learn Snapper Loading. It will allow you to build some seriously compact HS bots.
The only tutorial that I saw was Sage's, and I can't view that. My computer hates the plugin and I won't download.

And I have just bean all the MWs in SC v1, getting V3.

Needs to be invertible
How? I can't see how I could do that in the weight limit with this setup, without rebuilding the whole bot, which I cannot be bothered to do, honestly. I'll keep it in mind for my next bot, though. ;D

And the low irons will hopefully knock away/break off wedges before they get under the bot.
Mount them on a snapper
No room or space, unfortunately.
Then rebuild it
Anyway, the chassis is pretty tight anyway, I couldn't gain more than 5kgs, I suspect.
And mount what on snappers?
To be a good stock builder, you have to be prepared to rebuild over and over again, it's necessary

Mount the spinners on the snappers, like on this:
I will on my next bot, but I honestly can't be bothered rebuilding this one, I've been testing it on starcore, results so far, no losses as of yet:

New bot that I may use against smashysmashy for our challenge. WedgeCutter (TRB), so named because of the lowish iron spikes and that someone else has probably called their bot WedgeCutter, and so I stuck the TRB tag on the end:

A fully powered weapon system is one thing (that's 1 black to 4 HPZs, btw as only bursts follow the full power thingy. Spin motors only require half the stated output), an extremely fragile weapon system is another. You would lose all your spikes against even against a decent counter in less than 2 minutes.

Plus, outwedging a bot might be the only thing you need for a victory. A popup can easily trash that thing despite the type disadvantage.
Lose one spike on the VS, and you will, quickly, and the wedge is deemed useless, thus the whole bot is. To defeat the bot, all you would have to do is knock off a spike, and let it bounce around, gut ripping it. Wedge = Bad

Actually, this just needs 2 blacks, and the weapon setup (spacing-wise) is near perfection. Just attach the drive directly to the baseplate and perhaps attach the RAD system to the Snapper2 holding the plow.

hybridz r kewl
But blacks output 800 units, and HPZs need 400 to be fully powered, therefore 1 black to 2 HPzs?
It needs to be centeralised, so the chassis can shrink, and the wedge is just a hinderance.

HS-VS hybrid with a wedge? Interesting and ambitious, but the lack of weaponry and the fact that the HS part will prevent the VS from hitting anything makes this cool, yet innefective.

Remove the wedge, move the HS back to the VS can connect, and use the rest on adding weapons to the VS/HS parts.t

And try to put allthe connectors in the middle, so you can shrink the chassis by a lot Also, this will need 3 or 4 blacks.

That is all I can think of. Still very cool, though.

Once a year we celebrate
With stupid hats and plastic plates
The fact that we were able to make
Another trip around the sun!

And the whole clan gathers round
And gift and laughter do around
And we let out a joyful sound
And sing that stupid song:

Happy Birthday!
Now you're one year older!
Happy Birthday!
You're life still isn't over! (Thanks NFX)
Happy birthday!
You did not accomplish much
But you didn't die this year, I guess thats good enough.

All from memory, I'll try to dig up the youtube link.

Who needs friends? We all have GTM, and you have GF and Hydro.  ;)
They're saying I need IRL friends so I can have a party on my sixteenth XD
No need. The only reason I have parties is to scam my friend's parents out of £10-£20. It's a good deal to me. ;)

It could be 1 of 3 things:

1. Sage's levels of Sarcasm couldhave broken our detectors
2. He has seen the level of uproar this has caused, and tried to stop it
3. It was all a hoax.

Assuming this is legit, I don't care if is released or not. It won't affect how I build, as it seems boring and challengeless. I'm not saying that it takes no skill, but I don't think that putting anything anywhere is fun.

Let's be honest, even if it is released, it won't be used competitively, thus you will, most likely, never use it, or use it once or twice.
