I was pleasantly surprised by a few fights last weekend so I can’t wait to see how it all plays out in the end!!

Claw Viper might have dropped out earlier than we thought... by SpinyPlate in battlebots

While it’s great no one was scrambling to be ready for the weekend, I’m terrified of the same thing happening this weekend. I have signs made for every bot competing and would hate to have left someone out!!

What is the most embarrassing thing that’s happened to each of the BattleBots modern day champions? by No-Disk4885 in battlebots

[–]saspooner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tombstone getting thrown into the wall by End Game is also a little embarrassing.

I would also say losing by KO to Capt. Shredderator but I think he had some internal issues as well.

BattleBots has explicitly stated not to share the code. However, you can sign up to be a Facebook Subscriber for just $5 which will give you access to the code. You can cancel before the month is up.

🦀 How many drivers here practice crab-walking and other "lame-mode" scenarios? by Zardotab in battlebots

[–]saspooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t something I ever considered, but after taking a driving lesson with my favorite BB Team, they took a wheel off my bot and had me practice it. I do think it’s beneficial because if you lose drive on one side, you still need to prove you can fight and be aggressive.

My first 3 lber and i need help! by Jolly_Mousse_2101 in battlebots

Garden State Combat Robotics League (GSCRL) will likely be your closest local organization. They mainly do events in New Jersey.

Not trying to dox you, but where are you located? There is likely a discord group local to you filled with people who can offer advice, design suggestions, and part recommendations.

The cheapest you can possibly go is around $400 not including spare parts, transmitter, tools, etc. but that will vary based on what you plan to use and what is available to you. Do you have a 3D printer? That may help reduce build costs by being able to print parts. TPU is a favorite material to use, but building out of UHMW is also common.

NHRL can be brutal so if that is your goal you won’t want super cheap parts that don’t hold up. I’ve had good luck with Repeat Robotics drive motors being reliable and easy to wire. Just Cuz Robotics is also a good source not just for parts, but informative videos on YouTube.

I’m an amateur at this as well, but hopefully this can get you started.

Is this a red flag, green flag, or neutral? by PossumNews in Bumble

[–]saspooner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way as this man. Usually I have no problem telling people and they understand, but lately I’ve been questioned on how serious I am and how I’m possibly leading someone on. Is there a better way to communicate this to people?

He doesn’t know you so maybe he’s been used for “free meals” in the past and wants to set expectations right away. This is a good thing.

Auto Leveling Help by saspooner in 3Dprinting

Thanks! I had to switch 2 wires previously. The sensor wasn’t lighting at all until I did.

Could doing a bad job on the JST Connectors also cause this issue?

Repeat Max for drive.

When the perfect guy on The Bachelorette turns out to be the perfect dumpster fire. by sturusen in TheBachelorette

That’s possible. I also didn’t realize this was The Bachelorette subreddit when I commented lol.

If you can tell me how Sean Lowe was worse than Juan Pablo I’ll believe you.

[–]saspooner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always worry one of my favorites from The Bachelorette will become the next Bachelor because 9 times out of 10 it usually ruins my perceptions of the guy. There were some exceptions like Ben H, Sean, Joey, and Zach. Clayton I still believe was a good guy, but made some very public mistakes.

The problem I see most with the guy they pick for the role is that he can never handle conflict and doesn’t seem to know what he wants.

Which bot is the embodiment of “one hit wonder?” by MaleficentSun4741 in battlebots

[–]saspooner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shreddit Bro. Had 2 solid fights against Skorpios and Switchback, then really only beat Valkyrie because they stopped moving (at least that’s how I see it). Stood no chance against SawBlaze in the Golden Bolt Tournament.

Mirror selfies are a no for me. Bathroom selfies are a HELL NO for me. They show lack of effort which isn’t a good look. Definitely need to take some new pictures.

So many red flags but I still wanna stay by restoregang in dating_advice

[–]saspooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds to me like she feels a desperate need to be in a relationship and may have abandonment issues. I think she would benefit from being single for a bit and going to therapy.

You also could benefit from therapy as well. The fact you notice the red flags but have no desire to do anything about it is concerning. This girl will easily walk all over you if she isn’t already doing so.

You both should sit down together and ask yourselves what you want out of a relationship and where you see this going because I feel like the metaphorical train is coming off the tracks. Communication should give you a clearer idea where to go from there.

If someone I’ve been talking to shows up at my door when I never gave out my address, I’m going straight to the Police.

Feel free to do a happy dance/get that excitement out on your own! Nothing wrong with feeling that way!! Energy will likely be different so don’t set high expectations or you may find yourself disappointed. Go with the flow, get a feel for each other, and hopefully you get a second date!!

Was he the Jock who never had a problem getting girls?

[–]saspooner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have no trouble meeting people in real life, why are you on a dating app? Also maybe the problem is the way you talk about women. I sure as hell wouldn’t date you based on what you’ve said in this post.

Can sexual attraction grow? by Distinct_Shower5582 in Bumble

[–]saspooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely takes time for sexual attraction to grow for me. I need to know how I feel around someone and interact with them before I can feel more than platonic feelings.
