remember kids: if you are going to bfe, at least do something that is possible in the botlab.

sooo how did you do it then
do you think I'd waste 4 hours trying to get lucky ?
with stock you gotta do that sometimes
not resort to bfe lol
the things he did wouldn't be even possible without bfe lmao

In the end it didn't matter anyway as making the chassis slightly bigger to fit the SnapperII was way lighter than BFEing the extenders

i know
but he obviously found a solution
lmao
he built it with the achor at 0 degrees, then bfe'd it to a 90 degree anchor. doubt most people would have caught it since most people know nothing about stock


honestly that's pretty fuking gay bro.

except he bfe'd something that is not possible in the botlab.

if i did the same thing in ironforge or dsl with a component that doesn't fit, would you say it's alright?

BFE that's possible in the bot lab is kind of accepted as you can't really tell it's been done.
In this case it clearly wasn't possible.
Better than GK since 2009.
I think SM is a pretty cool guy, eh builds unicycle-bots and doesn't afraid of anything

I don't condone its use. But I also understand why people use it in stock (and I'd hunch that plenty of people use it) since it takes an eternity to stack/axle load/etc things that you could add quicker with bfe and would look exactly the same.
you don't really have the same problem in DSL/IF because you can build robots much quicker in those.

i don't think you get what i'm trying to say, what gauche did is IMPOSSIBLE to do legally in the botlab. the only way to build his bot is with either bfe or aam. His bot could not be built legally at all.

yeah I know GS' setup is impossible but I'm saying theres also plenty more times people do that where it doesn't get caught either.

as long as the end result is indistinguishable from a legitimate bot, i really don't care if BFE is used. GS's is not, and that's why i have issue with it.

if people want to use bfe to stack their blacks, then go ahead, i doubt anybody really cares.

eh. I could see maybe using hax mode to stack blacks, cause that's at least semi-legit, but I will never condone BFE

I don't condone BFE either, but until someone finds a way to accurately catch those who do it, it's just something we're going to have to accept and live with.

I would prefer a new thread be started if we're going to start debating on the legality of BFE.

Round 3 of the Losers bracket is up
