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

there aren't enough contact lenses in the world that could help you find it...

Yeah but now I've got a headache. I think it's become too impractical for its own good.

[/quote]Explain, cause I fail to see how it would be impractical, all I've done is make the all around protection against wedges much better. And that's just for the wedges mind you. The one for the spinners is the one on the page previous, simplistic yet effective.

And don't make any smart ass comments about the purple either.

For one I think there is a weight issue now at hand. Given the size, thickness, and sheer number of wedges and skirting this thing now has it's beyond belief for what a LW could actually be or the main body is strafe ting to approach the mass of a single average clusterbot&#33; I'm almost tempted to use a spinner against it now so I can smack it through the air like a hockey puck&#33;

If that doesn't do anything for you how about a balance question. How much weight is really being forced on one of the hinged wedge sets when you have roughly equal hinged wedge dangling in the other side? Instead of the center of balance being closer to one of the wedges you have almost completely in the middle it would seem.

I dunno. I think you're well overthinking things with this wedge horror show.

Well, as chance have it. I was thinking it was gonna look somewhat overweight when it was done. Chances are it's gonna be bumped up to the MW division. That solves that issue I guess.

That's not the point. You will still have that issue no matter what weight class you're in.

Such as dealing with the spinners, all the attachments are removed for that. And fighting some rammers, I could remove the back wedges, or keep the wedges and remove the attachments on the plow.

lol
If you are removing all the attachments to fight a spinner your bot is going to be substantially lighter than your opponent. If I'm a spinner fighting you I'm literally begging for you to do that just so it's that much easier to smack your underweight ass into the next world.

And if you're removing the back wedges to fight other rammers why the fuck do you even have them in the first place? :v:
