This sums up my aggressive haiku writing career. Maybe I should pick it up again.

English class, I think in my fifth year of high school, we had to write a haiku for some reason, and I wrote one which described my apathy for haikus. Again, the teacher very much enjoyed it.

Perhaps we should collaborate.

haha, do you remember yours?

Oh, was that it?

Hello everyone&#33; I'm Nononsensecapeesh, real name Michael, prefer Mikey or Mike. I am British but I did used to watch BattleBots as well as Robot Wars and I still do. I am a keen writer and journalist and I also build robots out of LEGO and KNEX. I have 36 model robots in all, 4 KNEX and 32 LEGO.

I can only provide photographs of my Bots in their LEGO and K'NEX forms though.

you should be fine with your creations

other people may help you and may make you cads for you if there is any issues witch is very unlikely

ask for CADs nicely and ye may receive. Operative word being may.

but don't feel forced to have cad robots

as soon as you enter your robots people can give more advice and stuff

Generally lego and knex based designs have limtations, and will be interpreted as having those limits, so getting drawings or CADs is usually ideal

People usually go for Sketchup, Solidworks, Tinkercad, or Rhino when starting out, although Rhino can be a bit hard to use at first

I use NX.

I figure I've been gone so long and there are so many new people that I actually should do an introduction. I'm John Garrison aka StarlessSoldier aka Omegaforce aka Omegarobotics and we've done this so many times I probably have other names I can't remember. I started on the Comedy Central forums with the other creators of this group around a decade and a half ago. I've participated in and even won a few fantasy tournaments. Ran my own tournament called Fantasy Fury. I've built a few antweights and I have a few more bots in the works. Anything else you want to know, just ask.
