but people can change.

THIS, is false. Don't be silly, people never change. A bi-polar guy on another forum I'm on was banned years ago for overreacting to everything, he claimed he wanted to change and tried to. He came back, and did the same as what he did prior to his ban. Granted, this is just one guy, but still, people never change.

People that do things like Noodle, still must be banned, but generally even he can change.
Now, back on topic please...

You posted it on April 2nd. So excuse me for believing it.

It was 1st april in my country and in GTM when I posted it...
My post edit must have changed the date to today (2nd).
Logout, to see that the GTM time when loged out is different from the UK time when You are loged in.
Strange...

Found it, the time difference was the reason :

I misplaced the logged in and logged out text, but it seems that it was 1st april only for the GTM time then.
That was the reason for the "Sage BthDay fail" too.

[Venko]

Triple post, lol.
In case that someone missed one of these within all that posts :

Anyone want to play "guess the setup" on this one?

It's not a good bot tho.

Now, the new stuff :
  Hey, Ianh...

Think you can do The Infinite?
 

[infiniteinertia]

ahhhhh so niceeee....even if the chassis could stand to be a wee bit more compact.

and now that you're back and pumping out venkreations (Venko-creations for your Bulgarian translator), I am going to hate it when you leave.

[ianh05]

Very nice  , would you like me to add this to stock mini's?

If I make the chassis airtight, I will gain only a 2-3 kilos and what? This way at least it looks more like the original cubic TI.
Uhmmm, I don't use translator, spell check or dictionary... I understood that word "Venkreations" pretty well.
Anyway, why everytime when I come up with a good bot design it has to havok :

Any ideas how to make this not havoking, it just flies and twists now.
Y U NO WANT TO SPIN BOT...

I think it's because you don't balance the weight on the axle, and it breaks.

I think it's because you don't balance the weight on the axle, and it breaks.

That, or just balancing each Z-Tek off an Axle, in general, will cause it to become wonky.

Nevermind guys, it wasn't that.
I just built some totally new one setups for this, and it works well now.
So well, it's actually better than 123save's one in effectiveness and protection.
No 140 ext. as well.
It even went straight into my secret folder if You know what this means...

I will answer You in skype only, anyway...
[boasting]The Leonardo da Vinci of stock proudly presents :[/boasting ]
This is exactly my number 100 built bot since my return.

...I don't understand...is a shell spinner just a compact horizontal spinner?...

...also yeah it's technically not a shell spinner since no shell, but since it's just painful to make an actual shell spinner in stock, this is the next best thing...

...if I made it with a ramplates all over for example, it will look more like a SS, but it will be pathetic in combat, so...

You wanted a real shell spinner, so here it is :

Total averageness, it beats the weak bots and loses from the top ones, nothing less and nothing more.
Finding a place and stacking those pinks was enormous PitA!
I made the drive a little wider in the last minute for gaining slightly a turning/rotating speed.

[ianh05]

Looks awesome, shame you can't get more weapons on it though... unless you use emergency wedges instead of the ram plates 

[Scrap Daddy]

... unless you use emergency wedges instead of the ram plates 

that would not work at and would be way worse.
Looks sweet, Venko.

[Wolfsbane]

I think it's 6V nifty! /badpun

[Fracture]

Holy crap you stacked six pinks together? I actually think that the other bot is more of a shell spinner than this one, which I would call more of a flail SnS. This one definitely wins in looks though.

[Mr. AS]

mmm there isnt any motor powering the irons, and the weapons move by you spinning in circles, so it is a flail sns like fracture said. sorry.

pwnator also did something like that for his jupitor rebuild that he tried for SCv4, see the starcore thread in modifications and designs (?)

1 black > 6 pinks. but i do like the looks of the ramplate walls around your bot, even if it isnt very efficient.

I think it's 6V nifty! /badpun

i literally have NO idea what you are talking about.

[Pwnator]

pwnator also did something like that for his jupitor rebuild that he tried for SCv4, see the starcore thread in modifications and designs (?)

actually i only posted it in my showcase because it looked sloppy lawl



So yeah, I used static irons instead of ramplates, which should help just in case something prevents it from spinning. But yeah, it still looks sloppy.

[J]

I forget, whats the significance of using flails?

[ianh05]

The flail weapons "slap" the opponent instead of hitting it which means the weapon won't stop as easy.
