They will come to your house, sue you, and take your soul with them, also you might save wieght by making the back of the bot one straight point.

If you already have it then theres no problem. They can't do anything about it.

I'm pretty sure that the only way they can do anything about it is if you are using it for commercial use. I think businesses using softwares such as Photoshop have to keep some proof of purchase.

How can they prove you didn't pay for it?

I have a few ideas what to do, but I want to know what you guys think the extra weight should be used for.

I like it, in fact I was thinking of building something like that earlier.

Maybe DDT wedges, rubbers and a snowplow?

does that happen to be the same chassis as your BOTM winner ? its a similar setup anyway I think the front area between the ram pates looks a little bit exposed

Make it 4WD.

Would make it worse, would make the razors hit the ground, and perhaps. maybe bracket wedges again.

I would upgrade the wheels to Slipperbottoms (because shinies on baseplate mounted Z-TEKs don't touch the ground when the opponent gets under your wedge) and upgrade all the weapons to irons. Then, if possible, I would rotate the Snappers being used for the wedges so that they are horizontal (you would need to use the axle loading glitch to get the wheels out of the way first) and stack a baseplate anchor in the current ones so that you can add some side protection with the remaining weight (it might be wide enough that you don't really need side protection, though).

bot for brawl of the builders.

Note: beating tempus fugit scv4 does not happen all the time, only sometimes.

It was either DSA or Plastic with a castor. I went with plastic and a castor.

Its hard to see the castor though.

Tell that to tempus.

It didn't get knocked off at all when testing it?

Sage · « **Reply #318 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:10:47 PM »

Sure it did. But not that much. Everything that can happen will happen.

I have a few ideas what to do, but I want to know what you guys think the extra weight should be used for.

I would maybe use a snowplow or some bracket wedges over the top of the spinners. I have tried designs like this before (not real serious bots, just proof of concept stuff, but now I really wanna go build a serious one), and what I have found works well is to have the stuff on top, and have the spinners spinning so it is pulling up in the middle, and it gut-rips them alot. Although this might work well spinning the other way, because the spinners are angled, and they are hitting the spinner on the outside, so it could pull them up on.
