Well Reier, you probably are my greatest threat here. Both of Jack's and Joe's doesn't have an efficient weapon sytem and Joe's wedge looks like it fails.

Also who are the builders in the teams exactly ? I know Craaig sabotaged my bot by failing at weapon setup, but other than that IDK.

Are you calling my best friend a barely capable builder?

I didn't know what I was supposed to do given I had a BSG with an emergency wedge on XD

Also, while building, I had a feeling I'd be on Nary's team and get flamed for anything I missed up on :-L

I also put alot of weight on the back, But luckily, I didnt ruin the wedge ;D
 
I just wonder... Why the spoiler looking thing on the back?

Well, it was supposed to be a gut ripper. But the wedges fail and the drive fails (apparently) I should have done something to make the drive more powerful, maybe made it 4 WD instead.  Or I should have done something to make the wedge more effective by distributing weight better.  The spoiler would have held bots at bay for the spinners to gutrip... but the bot seemingly can't get under opponents very well.  Guess I should have used...

No Jack, you built the drive well.


The wedge and weapons, however, are somehow insufficient... and you don't need ballasts to have a good wedge !
