I understand that you were trying to make a joke and I don't mean to offend you, but you must also think of other people's feelings before you post something that may offend someone else.

Just a friendly reminder...

The PC Police strike again! With your endless litany of things unsayable and areas untouchable... oh, how I love the PC Police!

Let's all sit around simpering and equivocating so as not to say anything that would damage anyone's feelings. "I don't mean to offend you" and "I certainly hope noone takes offence but" and "oh I'd better not say anything at all"... I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings by saying this, and all references to any groups, racial, sexual, or otherwise, are completely unintentional, so help me God if I were to offend, sob, anyone... what /was/ I going to say?

Have you seen the Lord of the Rings movies? They should be banned! Banned, I say. They make fun of dwarves! Gah, what is the world coming to? Kids these days, *grumble grumble*.

(S)He was making a joke, and if you are so oversensitive that you find it to be offensive, I can live with that.

I thought that a linear accelerator would be a possible bot. After realizing the massive power requirements (as I figured that by having no moving parts it would be easy-peasy and efficient).

We are now going with a 4-wheel drive bot (inventor pics) with a catapult-like design. One thing I find interesting is that no other teams are going with this approach (that I know of). It seemed to be more efficient as long as accuracy was good.

We've stuck to our design and it's coming along great...it's a strong defender with great speed...our traction is alot more than last year's robot so it can't turn in place anymore but ohh well...

Other than that everything is coming along great...and I thought last year's robot was tough...this year's robot is Karen the Warrior!!
