that being said, if i personally had a robot that i spent 6 weeks creating and you make an offensive maneuver towards my robot (i.e. not trying to block me from a goal or from balls, rather trying to score using my bot) don't be surprised if i make a few offensive maneuvers in response.

in short: you had better disable me on the first try, cause you won't get a second try after your forks are laying on the ground....

just my angry 2 cents

Gee...some people seem to think that having FORKS on your robot automatically violates the idea of "playing fair"...but as I can see now, all it takes is a bad attitude and bad intentions to do that.

I'd rather oppose a robot with forks that intends to play by the rules than with someone who threatens to flatten me should I make a mistake. (whats the difference between the person who intentially mangles a robot by using forks, or by *ANY* other means....sounds like the pot calling the kettle black to me)

Don't give me a "self-defence" claim....your message clearly telegraphs that your thinking is premeditated.
