Firstly, I apologize for that, however, that was more or less exactly how I pictured it anyway, the only difference being I pictured whe wheel pods being more rounded.
Secondly, I copy and paste the stats onto a big document, I do not read through them until I get to the fight, I do not have access to the net on my own computer, the stats did not reference the CAD in any way otherwise I would have gone to look for it.
Thirdly, this still doesnt help me with all the major issues I was unsure of: construction of the wheelpods and details of the saw like weight and what the teeth are liek are still not accounted for.
Fourthly I will answer for any individual complaints on this system of working once per robot. Im not letting this become a continuing issue.
Saw weight? What the teeth are like? Its a bloody BAR! Theres no saw anywhere on the robot!
If you do write results about robots, then you must know that you need all the information on them. And let me make sure I have this straight; you dont have net access on your computer. Okay, then how on earth did you copy all the stats onto there then? And Ill go ahead and say that its pretty bad that you dont have internet access on your own computer where you write results.
Also, the stats made no reference to the picture... well, why on earth should it? THE PICTURE IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE! Its almost IMPOSSIBLE to miss it. I mean, you have to scroll down to see all of the stats, so you really have no excuse for missing it.
And thank you Andy, for that completely non-enlightening comment with an obligatory reference to ARC and your freakin hate crimes against Americans. Shouldnt you be somewhere trying, and failing, at making sterotypical jokes?
Alex M, until you prove to be infallible, I suggest you calm down when people make mistakes. I cant see how the mistakes Alex made affected the fight, so I ask again, what damage was done? Hes already apologised so let it go.
And Alex H already said how he copies stats. Word document + floppy disk. Its not hard to figure out.
And please inform me where I made a non-enlightening comment with obligatory reference to ARC. I cant seem to find one in this thread, or is it just me? And since when did I have so-called hate crimes against Americans? And for the record, why are you defending Americans so much... or is that a rhetorical question?
Calm down and re-read what I said. I think youll find my intentions were stop getting in a rage about everything that you are involved in on here or simply get lost. And I think the part about the insults is self explanitory. But just in case, it means think about what you are calling people. Especially those that know a damn lot more than you do, have a lot more experience and have put a lot more into vapourboteering over the years.
Fire your caps lock at me all you like cause I wont back down. Get it out your head Im a crazed racist and get a grip!
You only ever state the word blade throughout the stats - I always will take that to mean the first thing that comes into my head, if it said bar I would have got that, however it didnt. Without the picture, which Ive already apologized for, I am justified here.
Finally, please stop acting as if Im doing this to spite you alone, THREE people in this heat of four did not have stats which answered all my questions, and you did not suffer as a result compared to a certain other person. This included Richard, who is one of the most respectable people on here.
Anyways I am intending to continue this tournament without hastle.
Alex M, Anthony and AJ have said this to me so its about time I say this but my own way of saying it which is not shape up or ship out but stop moaning or youll get kicked out of the bloody threads.
How exactly are you going to do that Tim? And before a real arguement breaks out, Tony isnt involved in this at all - so dont start winding him up.
I hardly think we are going to be kicked out of threads (which I beleive is impossible anyway). Especially since you havent been kicked out of any yet with your numerous spamming intentions.
Alex clearly stated that if detail wasnt there he would assume it. He missed the picture of Alex MacWs bot but appologised and got the idea right anyway. Whatever shape the wheel pods are, it lost the match and that is that. Now shall we carry on with this tournament?
Well, my computer breaks down for almost a week, and when I come back this is what happens.
Ah...can you feel the love buzz?
Dave, leave Alex alone. Hes apologized about it, and that should be enough for you.
End of story. Now, can we all play nice and just let the other Alex right?
