Hello GTM and all the users here! I literally just joined the forums about 10 minutes ago, and I guess you'll be calling me Fracture from now on. Here's some stuff about me:I got interested in robot combat at about 8 years of age when watching Robot Wars. My favourite bot was Dominator 2, and my least favourite was Pussycat; I think Pussycat just randomly beat Dominator once or something and that's why I didn't like it. Nowadays I don't watch it, and there's really no favourites for me.I first got Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction for the PC because it seemed like a good game. Later I found Robot Arena 2, which seems a lot better, and realistic.I'm from Canada, so don't start raging at me if I say centre instead of center or colour instead of color. :PI've been playing RA2 for about half a year now, probably less. I started about a year ago but obviously I haven't been playing full time since then. At the moment I play about 5-30 minutes of RA2 per day, which I'm not sure would count as just right or lower than average.So far I've only built Stock and I'm not bad at it, if I may say so myself. Really, I've been looking at some bots here so I know what level I'm at. I think I'd like DSL very much if I tried it, but I'm weird and won't. Dunno if I'm just lazy, scared, or whatever.I'm also weird because I don't use AI parts. Yeah, kinda puts a damper on my building without the Snapper II, but whatever. Same reasons as for why I haven't tried DSL.Again, also weird because I'm still staying in my little corner of building LWs and occasionally AWs. No HWs or MWs that I've actually worked hard on so far. Less options means less likely to build a bad robot, right? Also it doesn't take as long. :PAnyway at this point I'm not sure how dead or alive this forum is, but hopefully I can get some good criticism in my showcase so I can become a better builder. I've been on a few other forums, but holy crap there's a lot of posting features here. I'm talking marquees, smileys, spoilers, insert FLASH?! And a BUNCH of profile customization too; I'm just used to an avatar and a signature. Also I have no idea what reputation is.Anyway I guess I'll see you guys on the rest of the forums, it seems pretty friendly here! (I kinda want the post verification to go away though T_T)
Hey, the last two aren't too bad!And since I didn't get chance to say it before, Welcome.May I also add, badass name you got there. *bows*
Well at least you built up to the weight limit on your first bots :PAs for you new bot, looks very nice and actually looks like one of my first bots. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34366851@N07/3202187556/#in/photostreamOnly thing I suggest is maybe get rid of a couple of razors and get a black or something else, but it really is fine as is. Good job and stick around, you've already impressed me.
That actually doesn't look too bad, I reckon. I think if your MW and HW bots are of a similar standard, you might be able to hold your ground in Starcore V1.
Welcome to forums Fracture!
I lol-ed at the first bot. XDWelcome to the forums :DYou improvements look good so far. Hope to see more of your bots.
Nice bot there, excellent for a first showcased bot.You do really need the snapper II at the very least though, in heavier bots they are VERY usefull.I'd also highly recomend you do get DSL aswell, it's teh boss.
I'm also happy to hear you speak Chinese, is the dialect Mandarin?
That popup is awesome, better than any of my Stock popups for sure. Welcome to the forums.
I never thought about making the chassis T-Shaped in a LW pop-up. Though it is less powerful than a DDT and regular z-teks are overkill for drive on LW. Use RedBirds or RADs and try to fit a DDT and it would be a pretty good pop-up.
The first one looks like Omnivore's slightly stupid and overweight cousin. :PI'm lovin the LW popup though.

DP is double post. TP is triple post, etc.
Type in the Quick reply to avoid that, I also have my posts glitch up if they are too huge in the reply page.
