Small world we live in. Well you are in good company, it is rumoured many brilliant minds like Leonardo da Vinci had AS.

Anyway, back on topic. If Paul wants to answer that is his perogative.

Yes Leo, I do have Aspergers Syndrome. And you are right - da Vinci did have it as well.

Well its kind of hard to prove that since he wasnt diagnosed with it since AS wasnt known until hundreds of years later. But there is some evidence to support it.

pssh da Vinci invented it!

Is there anything he didnt invent?

lol, no way that Da Vinci discovered Asperger

I do not know when it was discovered, but I can not believe there was this undiscovered syndrome that Da Vinci discovered ON HIMSELF. The only valid way to be diagnosed well is by an outside source, ESPECIALLY when it comes to a new syndrome, no matter how smart Da Vinci is :P

ow, and Hans Asperger discovered it :P

Paul, it isnt a rant. People are trying to offer you advice, which you seam reluctant to take, and if people feel you are just going to ignore their helpful advice people will give up on you.

...did Martyn just type a decently constructed post?!

Holy smoking barrels, call the pigmasks Lucas, weve got a situation here!

Wow, I guess I really HAVE been out of the loop that long...

Round 1
Fight 2

Axeon 2.0 vs NSBFR-X vs Shovearound 2

Axeon 2.0: Andy€™s axebot . Axeon uses the rack and pinion system popularised by Terrorhurtz and takes it to another level. The drive of this machine is great too.
In MN1: Did not compete.

NSBFR-X: Or Never-Seen-Before-Fic-Robot-X is yet another interchangeably armed machine, entered by Frank. With 5 sweet set-ups, good armour and a nice drive, this is a great all-rounder.
NSBFR-X will use the drum today.
In MN1: Did not compete.

Shovearound 2: Tony happens to own one of the most successful vapours of this year. This invertible pushing wonder is the current Fowler Fic War champ.
In MN1: Has beaten Leprosy Infection, with Whirligig 4.0, to be beaten by Going Crunch in round 2.

ACTIVATE!

Shovearound and its 4 LEMs leave the starting square immediately, soon to be followed by Axeon and NSBFR. The fresh king of FFW drives in a good line to NSBFR, who attempts to get away, but still has Shovearound closing in on its side. The lifting forks reach out towards NSBFR€™s side skirts, but they don€™t get under! Instead, the forks scrape over the skirts and touch NSBFR€™s rounded side. NSBFR is shoved aside abit before getting rid of Shovearound, and faces Axeon head-on!
CRASH!
CLANG!
NSBFR€™s drum hits Axeon€™s front while Axeon€™s axe hits NSBFR€™s top . The axe-blow isn€™t that effective since Axeon is swept away by the drum on impact. NSBFR€™s acceleration proves excellent when the interchangeable machine boxrushes Axeon.
CLANG!
The drum slams the front-skirt upwards and keeps on rattling against it like a€¦ rattle, and the it looks like the hinge is about to give in when Shovearound comes in at NSBFR-X from behind! With a great clash Shovearound€™s forks ram their way under the rear-skirt.
CRASH!
Tony€™s recklessness boxrushes NSBFR closer to Axeon, and now the hinge DOES give! Axeon€™s front-skirt now is damn loose and Shovearound raises its forks. Axeon gets out of the way before facing another drum-blow and meets the lifted NSBFR at its side, and fires its axe!
CLANG!
NSBFR€™s armour is pierced now and Axeon pulls back. Shovearound moves forward, causing NSBFR€™s drum to contact the floor. With a loud BANG, NSBFR slams back on the ground and is inverted. Back in action, Frank set his sights on Axeon and the interchangeable machine rushes towards it. With nice agility NSBFR has one hell of a go at Axeon€™s side€¦
CRASH!
Axeon topples upwards and but is not quite flipped. NSBFR shows off its ramming abilities now and slams Axeon against the arena wall!
CLANG!
Axeon ends up on its side, but is quick to fire its axe when NSBFR comes in for another ram, Shovearound coming in on NSBFR€™s side, but not quite underneath.
CLANG!
Shovearound€™s interference didn€™t quite stop NSBFR from performing another slam!

10€¦ 9€¦ 8€¦ 7€¦

Time is running out when Shovearound DOES penetrate NSBFR€™s skirt!

6€¦ 5€¦ 4€¦

NSBFR is inverted!
