I'd be in. I'd captain if you need someone but prolly rather not. Amazing how easy it is to drag someone out of the woodwork when they are your IRL friend.

If all else fails I'll force G.K. to add a bit (and you DON't want that to happen if you saw CW3).

Rude... But fair.

Of course I'll enter, this is Chinese Whispers, how can I not ? And being a capitain for old times's sake. Though if some new and promising DSL-S builder wants to try being one, I have no issue with giving him my place.

Team 3 is a multibot which is cool I guess
Title: Re: Chinese Whispers 5 (Splashes Incoming!)
Post by: Naryar on July 23, 2020, 02:41:02 PM
i mean those multis are not especially exposed so it's not really horrible (Looks at that VS in my tournament)

the bot looks pretty good for a multibot, really.

Lmao yeah, it AGOD'd like a mother****er from the onset but after staring at it for 5 minutes I conceded that it was probably going to have bigger issues anyway. Didn't have much luck with pause.

I figured somebody else would take a crack at rectifying it but tbh it'd probably be more entertaining to watch as is.

nononono the issue is the drive motors are NPC-Fasts which only have 400hp and for some reason KD went juicer mode and attached them to multi extenders when he could have easily attached them to the chassis  :dumb)
