Those skirts would probably dig into the floor, though, and prevent the bot moving at all. Check Explosion vs. Little Flipper 3 in the UK LW Championships a year or so ago for an example. Plus a weapon with that amount of weight behind it, that amount of torque on the motor, and only 2WD, would probably spin itself around uselessly and be either hideously unbalanced, or not able to drive in a straight line. It basically is substandard DSL, rather than actually built to be IRL. Hence why I referred to it as Lidl Value.

Turn off everything else using the internet, which will increase your bandwidth. =) My internet's pretty slow until my sister turns her laptop off.

Would dropping the fps help?

Tweedy · « **Reply #44 on:** July 30, 2012, 09:09:11 PM »

It depends on how drastically that changes the size of the file

NFX · « **Reply #45 on:** July 30, 2012, 09:10:31 PM »

30fps is normally a good one to use. It's the same framerate as the game, so that'll keep it smooth.

Dang, I'm using that now. I can't tell my mom to stop anything or she'll be pissed so I guess I'll film while the other's uploading. And also first BW is up!

Are you recording this in NAR AI? cause i heard NAR AI sounds.

MassimoV · « **Reply #48 on:** July 30, 2012, 09:25:50 PM »

Yeah I'll fix that.

Dude, my videos take 2-3 hours to upload...

I'd refilm the first BW match, personally. NAR AI has different component HP, power outputs, even armour values than normal DSL. The Signups thread said it was normal DSL, and as such it should be filmed in DSL rather than NAR AI, to keep everything balanced normally.

indeed.

MassimoV · « **Reply #53 on:** July 31, 2012, 11:05:27 AM »

Ok, I'll switch everything over to normal DSL and refilm.

dude shut the

You better not bring your old offtopic grudge with S32 in this thread. He has all rights to post criticism here (although it would have be more fitting to post it in the discussion thread) if he desires. Or maybe we should all think the same ?

Besides, if you think his criticizing of this tournament is so bad, why are you making flamebait posts ?

I'm not, the kid has no idea what effort it takes to host a tournament and to randomly come in here and insult it spits in the face of the community and I'd be surprised if Mas hosts another tournament after this due to sys32's lack of respect.

I'm telling him to back off, his post is clearly flamebait.. which should be against the rules of the forum as we don't need that crap here.

You'd have to be bloody insecure to stop making tournaments after ONE piece of criticism.

Honestly I agree somewhat with S32, I think the gimmick for this is a bit boring, but it is the tourney host that chooses what he wants to do. What I disagree with is where S32 posted it, because it's too late to post it and hope to have an effect, and it indeed can have some disrupting effect, and how he presented it, which may be a tiny bit too violent for the message to pass well.

Intimidating a being that thrives on conflict ? Not gonna work.

Or maybe it is just his honest opinion and he hopes that Mass's next tourney will have a better gimmick, because he clearly thinks this one is not good enough ?

There is a possibility that it is flame bait and that he is just pissed and randomly attacks Mass, and in that case I will smite him for that, but I have rarely seen S32 randomly flaming this part of the forum. Besides, he knows that if he did flamed people here, he would find me blocking his path.
