FBSDS stats

[pcbore]

FBSDS ground clearence is way too low. This is especially bad for spinners as it can quite likely be beached by debris from its opponant.

[siphai]

Please disregard, I thought I put 8mm or 0.8cm. Either way, its fixed now.

[pcbore]

While were on that subject you might want to change it for all your other machines as well as they all have the xact same mistake.

[siphai]

Oh by the way, Cosmic Thunder has hinged wedges all around making it at 0mm all around. Underneath those wedges the clearence is something like 8mm. So that should be that over.

I cant find that mistake for any of my other robots though...

I like keeping helpful quotes in case I ever need to refer for information. Heres one that I think Nick once said:

People keep going around bragging about 1 mm clearence as if it were a good thing. But its better to be tossed around by high wedges than to get stuck on the smallest pieces of shrapnel. 1 cm or higher is preferred, perhaps less in some areas far from the wheels. ESPECIALLY FOR FULL-BODY SPINNERS.

On a different note Im working on some new robots at the moment to put in here, sorry about the delay.

Not for the new blood I think

You can enter new blood, or something for Get Him.
