Yep. "That's it! You're now a Lego wizard."

I hate the way it waits for ages before it plays that sound

first time i used it it gave me such a fright

QFT
QFT x2

Many bricks were shat and then I decided to change the attachment sound to the standard one.

Quick, someone make a 'Scary Maze Game', except at the end, its an image of a Lego Minifig(a wizard, of course), and then it screams the infamous: "THATS IT! YOUR NOW A LEGO WIZARD!"

It would be hilarious.

There's your answer. :P


FB was in a sadistic mood when he made the txt file for the mega adapter.  The goal was to drive users to the brink of madness wondering what was causing all this lego wizard stuff in their bot lab and being unable to get rid of it.  Hence the innocent-sounding "cmp_attach.wav" sound file.


The sound effect itself is from an old game called Lego Creator for PC.  I'm not sure why he picked that quote specifically.

@Click: Whats sad, is that I actuallly had that game O,o
(When I was like 7-ish)
What makes it even sadder, is that I actually tried to make Battlebots on that game.
I had wedges, spinners, "rammers", etc. They were really cheesy and what-not, but at the time, they were freakin' awesome.
Though for the most part, a lot of them were just modified helicopters.
....More or less, Creator gave you parts that let you 'move' them if you put an antennae on them. It was fun.

Kinda' funny how it shows how dedicated I was to robots/battlebots and Lego back then
.....owait, I still am today xD

Alright, time for something "serious" again.
My inability to stack batteries is whats killing this design:

(It only has 1 black battery, by the way...)
To be honest, its current weapon-gimmick is horrible. The wedges get under nothing.
So by removing its current weapons, I would have like 400-ish weight left over.
So GTM, what would you suggest I use in place of the wedges?
Also, I might have to re-build this from scratch again in order to add another battery(ugh..)

Make a standard hammer and avoid wobbliness by putting static drive motors and static hammer bursts.

But it hardly ever wobbles.
Though I am tempted to now try and fit a bunch of HS on it

Show it with the snappers folded in. It's more important than seeing it with them folded out.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

It looks like a mess when its folded up:

I wonder how this would do if I just put a bunch of spikes infront of it.

Wouldn't be surprised.
I forget who(It might have been Venko), but someone ells did a massive Snapper set-up like the one I'm currently messing with, and I had wanted to try something like that.
To be honest, this build is very fun. Mostly because of all the weight I have to work with :3

Nice snapper setup.

Oh, and eat up the weight with an additional 2WD.

Its funny that the "jaws" are the exact size of EMERGENCY.

Oh, and eat up the weight with an additional 2WD.
Ehh... I'll go back and fine tune everyone when I'm finished with this current team.
So for the most part:

This weapon idea I had seemed hilarious at the time:

And as always, teams of mine need to have there own "uniform":

I have a feeling those chicken motors might have been a better choice, but ehh...

I like the way that bot looks.  Couple things about it though.


- the wedge is actually a hindrance.  It creates a whole lot of exposed chassis, prevents you from hitting bots unless you get under them first, and if you do get under them, the razors will deliver only glancing blows.  It would be better with a flat front.


- 1 Supervolt is much more efficient than 4-5 purples (or pinks if you insist on calling them that).

To lack feeling is to be dead, but to act on every feeling is to be a child.

Pinks ? PINKS ?

Yeah, 1 supervolt is roughly 2 times better than 4 pinks.

I'm not exactly what you would call "pro" at building LWs.
I have a feeling if I just re-build Pair of Scissors from the ground up, it would hopefully come out better.
Also, I think Redbirds are a bit much for an LW.

Still on the topic of a team of junkbots...

I'm dont exactly know the name of "HPs move at a speed of 9001"-glitch, but I'm liking the fact it will pretty much destroy whatever it comes in contact with.

^This image is filler. So sue me^

Wide Load pretty much makes as much sense as a toaster. It seemed like a good ides to see how easily I could "break" him.
