That's because Wayde was stupid enough to drive backward into the spinner rather then use the wedge at the front.

Its not what material you use, its how you use it.

Vertical Limits disc went straight through the shaft of a cordless drill but I counted 4 hits on Scarifier where it didn't cut through the 3mm polycarb. Shapes of robots play more of a part then what's the noisiests builders favorite building material.

*** This is an official warning from the Forum Administrator **

Your posts are repeatedly insulting, impatient, illiterate and usually devoid of any useful or interesting information.

This forum is about Combat Robots, *not* a general chatter room between friends.

If you want to post a heap of one-line "Hello, whats happening" that wastes everyone elses time reading them, do it in private messages, or through MSN messenger.

You and your friend T-Bag have significantly raised the meaningless noise level around here and you dont even have a robot yet. We welcome newcomers, but expect that they behave in a polite manner while you "learn the ropes".

If the quality of your posts do not significantly improve, and you do not learn to ask intelligent questions in a sensible manner, your posting priveleges will be revoked for a short period of time.

And while I'm growling at newcomers, a few of you old-timers have been getting a bit over-the-top with the meaningless blather in some other threads as well.. I dont mind a bit of friendly OT chatter here and there, but its been getting a bit too noisy from some people.

Crap on in the Off-Topic if you like, lets try and keep the robot-related areas worth reading.

Yes i have. The one i posted before. but i might not have my bar on it for the first competition i'm in. I may njust use it as a wedge bot that's pyramid shaped if i get my meaning.

I should be getting some motors and wheels either today or sometime this week and maybe some castors to throw on the back for a test bot and i'm gonna see how i go.

I'll keep you posted on new developments.

OH and spockie tech. I thought i was doing well with my spam!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't spamming and i am using full english so whats wrong now?

Nothings wrong now but you were using lame chat speak and making stupid posts . The post from brett is 2 days old now .

An example of your lame posting is "makes sense 2. So i think i will. Looks easier than wat i wos gonna do so...
I'm gonna go with it"

But if your going to talk properly now i hope you get on well.
