Shame I won't enter with all the replicas.
It feels weird fighting a recreation of a real robot with a virtual one, and it makes me feel sad when I win. If I entered, I'd end up with depression.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

I am calm. I just said no in caps lock just for fun. :P

Anyways, Because RAD is too slow for a weapon motor. And Wild Thing's disc spins very fast, so Z-Tek (HP) Is the best option.

It would look more like wildthing if it didnt have a big Z-tek strapped to the front.

Or with a custom-made chassis that could accomodate a Z-tek on the inside, rather than copied from Alphasim.

You can't use those anymore, I think.

Anyway, this looks really interesting.

Yep. :approve:
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.
