Tim, we KNOW your Grandfather has died, and I give my condolances, but you cant behave like this:

I have a friend at school called Ollie, and during the Christmas holidays, his cousin was walking to school and was run over by a bus. In school, we didnt see him for 2 weeks - wed all thought he was ill - because he couldnt cope for any mention of a bus or anything. I felt sorry for him as hes an extremely good friend of mine, and he proberbly went through what youre going through, but Ollie, after someone close to him had died, didnt act like a selfish, attention seeking sod like youre doing now.

And also, dont bad-mouth Canada. Ive got a relative there and I take very strongly to that remark.

Canada has a great free public health plan too, so if you move to Canada, Tim, youll be able to get some much needed help with that Troll condition you have

(while Im Here its pointless set of numbers removed)

Kane, could you please take a good look at this thread please?

Normally I dont make a habit of this, but I do feel you are all crossing the line here. If you dont like Tim or his tournament, dont enter. This badgering is uncalled for.

And Tim, stop reacting in such a childish manner. The loss of a grandparent is not easy, but participating in a flamewar in his memory is not the way to go.

Sorry Leo its just that 1 and a half people are piddling me off (Kody is the half and Aaron is the 1) and I really wouldnt mind it if people actually bothered to give my tournaments a chance. Also Kody I was tired and piddled off when I was writing that so now I know that that was a hell of a lot harsher to you so Kody can you take my apology because its been 2 years since you Canadians have killed seals. Also God how I hate the new rules.

Oh for the love of€¦ where was I?

Paul: Thanks for clearing up those few things, but I€™m still very unsure about the skirt. Such things as how exactly is it moved up and down by a motor? What is it made of to have one fixed 360o piece around the robot? How is it hinged? Where is it hinged, more importantly€¦ if below the teeth, what happens when the robot is inverted? Just give a few extra details if you can.

And then all hell breaks loose€¦ I was going to ignore the argument in the FSTT but this has gone just too far.

Tim: In reality, it would take nothing short of a miracle to improve Counter. For a start, it would help if you posted the stats in here so we could analyse them. From memory it has wooden and plastic armour, so why are you claiming it was designed as a spinner killer?

Now down to business! Just stop with the childish insults, it really isn€™t helping your already non-existent reputation. Do you think your grandfather would appreciate you using him as a form of argument? I apologise to both Tim and Paul for recent events and offer my condolences where necessary€¦ but Tim, as Leo suggested, you cannot use this as an excuse for everything you say or do wrong.

Help with tournaments? First of all you need to research, read, look around and find ideas how to properly start a vapourbot tournament. Then gain some people€™s respect around here. Maybe then you can start a tournament. And also€¦ what new rules?

Aaron: Free public health plans FTW!

This is supposed to be a help thread, not a flame war. Can we get back on topic? I think it would be a shame to see a thread designed to help newcomers be bombarded with argumentative comments and locked€¦

Counter was designed to be a spinner killer because under the weak armour is acid which dissolves the attacking robot.

I meant the new rules on what to write and for the lack of freedom of speech.

If you want a spinner killer, then the best road to go down in my view is a low armoured box with foam inside it to protect the various parts from shaking loose, keeping everything simple.

Tim, just write a random battle in here and wait for some responses.

Name: Sir Spinalot
Shape: Circle
Weapon: Electric-powered Spinning Blade (Horizontal)

Drive: Lem 130

What do you think?

OK, basic problems involved in moving from FRW to the more complex stat system:

Weapon: Electric-powered Spinning Blade (Horizontal) - We need to know the shape and weight of the blade, what its made of plus the RPM. If you go to http://www.teamcosmos.com/ke/ke.shtmlhttp://www.teamcosmos.com/ke/ke.shtml you can enter the information you want, and also work out many many KJs it will produce, which tells us how powerful it is.

Armour: Titanium - We need to know the thickness of the Titanium in MMs

Sri-mech: Yes - The mechanism used is needed, such as a self righting bar like Hypnodisc.

Thats the basics anyway.
