Aaaaaaaa my point was Tornado and Gravity would be able to run at Live events just fine so why does RW have to happen for them to be made?
Just fame hungry?

Also the rw reddit has a fair list Badnik.

It's opinion based Kurt, no one person is right. We're all conveying our views.

In our opinion we are making valid points.

Because Robot Wars gives them an incentive for investing the money required. It's essentially the 'World Cup' of UK robot combat. It allows them to show off their engineering prowess to a nationwide audience, as well as getting to be on Televison.You could ask the same question of literally any of the bots who have been built or upgraded specifically for Battlebots or Robot Wars. I'd hardly call it being 'Fame Hungry'. My question to you in that case is why are YOU competing in Robot Wars if the only reason to is being 'Fame hungry'

Neutron was being upgraded regardless of if RW came back.

I want to compete, so I build and apply. It's quite simple. The TV side is irrelevant.

I know, but why go through the whole debacle of applying to RW and making the improvements necessary to Neutron if the live events up and down the country are of equal prestige to RW?

cephalopod · « **Reply #47 on:** October 21, 2016, 01:08:27 PM »

Applying isn't a debacle, it's 1 form. And improvements were being done regardless.
I'm sorry but when did this conversation turn from teams not being prepped for season 2 to an attack on our character?

So Robot Wars is the only event now that spinners can run at?

Damn someone should let Battlebots and Robogames know that they can't run spinners any more, I'm sure they'll be keen to know why that is.

If you can't back up your arguments with anything but a personal attack then I have nothing more to say on the matter.

Sorry if you took it as an attack on your character, it wasn't intending it as that at all. I was just curious as to how you could call the teams who were intending to make improvements for RW S2 but had to pull out due to time restrictions "Fame Hungry" when you were entering the same event yourselves

Battlebots and Robogames are abroad. If it was easy to compete in them I have no doubt that every single Robot Wars team would at the very least apply to Battlebots and Robogames.

Again, it wasn't intended as a personal attack. I was merely curious as to how you could call the teams who were intending to make improvements for RW S2 but had to pull out due to time restrictions "Fame Hungry" when you were entering the same event yourselves

I wasn't calling them fame hungry, just calling out the fact that those bots are legal in the live circuit and therefore a new series shouldn't be the defining reason they are made is the builders truly enjoy the hobby.
I'm done now. Not gonna reply if everything's being taken out of context. Peace.

Well, thanks for making me look like the bad guy then for misconstruing what you said

What a thoroughly unpleasant experience. I think i'll stick to Reddit.

I... don't think that's a very wise idea, to publicly confirm... it's Reddit. Ew

cephalopod · « **Reply #54 on:** October 21, 2016, 01:28:12 PM »

What do you want me to say?
We had a difference in opinion, that happens. You made me look like a bad guy too you know, this isn't a one way street.
What we have to do is work past our issues and come together as a community.
Leaving fixes nothing, I'm sure you know that.

Sorry if I made you feel sh**ty, I'm sure that makes us even. We can accept our differences and continue to look forward to series 2. :)

I don't expect you to say anything. I'm not expecting an apology for us having a difference in opinion. Nor do I expect one for you making me look like a bad guy.

The difference here is that you're already established as a member of this community. Everybody already knows that you're not a bad guy. I know that. You know that, and I'm sorry I made you look like one.

I on the other hand. Have been on this forum for about two weeks. This is most people's first impression of me. Nobody knows what I'm actually like. They say first impression is everything. And that's mine. Done.

And you say leaving fixes nothing but I'd say you know that's not true. I no longer have to worry about me looking like a piece of sh** to everyone on this site, and you no longer have to worry about arguing with people like me. It's mutually beneficial.

Maybe I'll post in my showcase from time to time, I dunno. And again, I apologise for what I said, and if this has made the situation even worse,the I apologise for that also. Sorry for being a drama queen. I'm done.

cephalopod · « **Reply #56 on:** October 21, 2016, 01:57:22 PM »

Nobody thinks that about you and nobody will. People argue with me all the time. That's how things go. Nothing changes here, I just don't back down from my opinion :P
95% of people back your side in this argument and I'm very aware of that.
Everyone knows what you said isn't what you meant. I'm 100% sure nobody here thinks you're a 'bad person' and I know I for sure don't.
Relax, take some time, and come back.

I put this all down to reddit not being very good for arguments, it's all sneaky downvotes and not just having it out like we do here

Take care man.

Not to keen on the new scoop look but its effectiveness will probably improve wonder if it can avoid the pit this time.
