I'm impressed with the blade.  That's a complicated shape to do without Max.  Did you make it from scratch, or edit an existing gmf?  Either way, it couldn't have been easy.

Just sent mine. Not sure if it will work though. My first time with compressing stuff and stuff lol. Also sorry I couldn't AI but I can't really do it well so I left it for the expert. Sorry.

I editted an existing .gmf file of the Samurai Sword. However, if you compare both of them, you will notice that the blade is longer, wider, and the base is a completely different shape. I done this by simply figuring out which numbers of the gmf control what; in terms of Verticies, and did each "xyz point" individually. Took a while even with Serges wonderful gmf viewer, but it was well worth it.
 
Speaking of which... Once I get finished with my finals (perhaps tuesday or wednesday... thursday?) I will show you the finished ELBITE Prizes video! Showing all the prizes and the finalized version of the HOLY BLADE.
 
To be honest, it is the best and most advanced component I ever created (Thanks to mad's help with the mapping and collision).

Good luck to all in this tourney. (Especially gigafrost- hosting a tournament is harder then it looks)

I'm not competing.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

Why was the deadline moved from the end of Dec to the 5th?

I just thought that since I am finishing up the prizes that there is no need to go on to the end. But I mean, once I think about it, I should change it to the end shouldn't I? I mean this is my first time doing a tournament so I will listen to everyone's feedback persistently.

Hmm... Well ok.

I know I have been constantly changing the date (Of which I feared primarily). I hope this hasn't hindered anyone, So I will change it to the end of December...

Also as a sign of my apologies, I will give everyone 3 more Change Lefts.

Again to every one, please accept my apology.

@Sage - If you would like, I can put you back into the list... Just let me know

YaaaaaY! I have been wanting to change my bots. I realized that they are not my best work (nowhere near it).
I built that big robot on that TV show that time

Phil I don't know if rustic is used in English too.

Hùùù...

(ZOMG TYPO)

Hmmm... Maybe I should put more weight into my TT bot's wedges, get stacked razors on my KotH and possibly change the DM's saw protections.

Rustic isn't used much, but I understand it. (it means, old/out of date, right?).
