I am not sure how you measure popularity of a tournament.  Participation (as GK pointed out) is a good indicator.  However, I think a lot of builders feel stumped by building AW robots due to the limitations.  I, for one, enjoy that kind of challenge.

CA2, to me, ranked behind BBEANS and Clash Cubes as far as my favorite tournaments go.

You do a great job with recording and speed of posting videos.  I am proud to have participated in Combat Ants.

How do you film a full match with Fraps? I have the trial, and I can only film for about 15-20 seconds before the vid stops. :rage

read my post again, I never said either way, some companies allow multiple licenses and some don't.

eg: my virus scanner has been installed on 2 other computers legally, becasue the license you buy allows it.

What did you mean by saying that then? To me, that looks like you're saying SSG's ZD Soft is legal.

But my original question was whetere it was illegal or not, and you said no. But never mind, the question's been solved now. Thanks.

SSG, thanks for the offer, but no thanks. I'm fine putting in the effort I so.
