Speak freely but don't be stupid about it or you'll find yourself on the last train to Clarksville, ya dumbass.

I've done a sort of Robot Wars/Battlebots RPG-ish thing on the FRA Forums and I'm wondering if anybody around here is interested in that sorta thing. It's weird, it's wacky, and it's totally unrealistic. That's okay - it doesn't have to make sense, all as long as you all have some fun!

I'm still accepting entries even though it's started already - just subsequent entries will be inserted in the chapter after they sign-up in. If you're interested but don't have a set of technical stats ready, I can help with that. :)

Haha, I'm not quite sure I know what's going on, but that looks fun.

If it's possible to turn Revolver Ocelot into something FRA compliant, I could be counted in.

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

It is in fact quite possible. Catch me on Messenger whenever you can and we can sort it out. ;) Thanks for the interest!

Welp, it'd probably have to be sometime tonight then since I'm at work now and am going out for dinner with some family soon after I get off.

Oh the hell...

I realized I actually did have an account on FRA, and was updating some profile information. I go to update my email and now I have to wait for an administrator to re-verify my account. BAH!!! :wat:

Don't worry, hopefully it shouldn't take long.

I'm just not used to forums with so much formal procedure. :wacko:

Err, okay, I've helped Josh knock together some technical stats for Revolver Ocelot for using in the RPG.

----

REVOLVER OCELOT

Shape: A low box with a tapered front and an angled rear piece
Colour: Black
Weight: 100kg
Speed: 12mph
Armour: 7mm titanium
Motors: 2 A28-400 Ampflows running on 24v
Wheels: 4
Length: 130cm
Width: 75cm
Height: 15cm
Weapon: 15kg Hardox spinning bar, 2000rpm, should put out around 50kJ
Weapon motor: LEM130 running on 36v
Srimech: Invertible

----

The only comment I've received on this is from Joey and his opinion is that there should be some measure of reach on the spinning bar.

Any other comments? It's good to have multiple opinions on the issue.

Well we have been an incredibly sad lot since 2004. :P

Actually, if you count the old RW forum (circa 2001) though I would probably have around 8000+ posts instead of the 6000+ posts I currently have there. :v:

And happily I don't limit my posts to the Fanfic section. :P

Err...

Yeah, and that was recieved... shall we say, less than warmly/respectfully by some there. <_<

But no sense lingering on the old frictions of the past. :unsure:

That brings up so many fond memories of the old FRA flame wars between Tony and Alex M&W. :P
