I think we are getting well ahead of where we are at. I think the, other Brobot races thing is, not really a good idea at this point. I mean, I consider the work load Der Bayer already has with the BRC. We should not wish to add to that I think.

As for the changes, yeah, it's a very slippery slope. But I still would be in favor of a change just for OHV. But again, I see problems with doing that and frankly it doesn't affect me with my DOHC V12 love affair.

i guess. but that's his decision of not making it public or at being held by more than 2 guys(maybe more, i dunno).

i'm still hoping for at least the older brobot to be publicized?

He absolutely can not make it public because it contains code for Automation.

Of course, I want that too. We all do. But it's simply not an option. If it was reasonable to ask for it I would too, believe me.
Both of them have been deeply involved with the games development and Der Bayer was lucky enough himself that he could actually go and work on it in the first place. Many other games developers would completely rule out that option.

It's not fair to ask Der Bayer to do what he simply can not do. Of course it is ok to want it, but how you said that implies he is hoarding it like a dragon with his gold, which is simply not the case. This is more like a hobbit with fireworks. If he does the wrong thing, wizards will get angry.


Side note, one of my friends is a hobbit I am sure, he's taller than you would expect, but has very hairy feet. Can hobbits suffer gigantism?

nononono please don't assume that. since i didn't even know that the brobot contains the automation code directly.
now that i know that's the case, i totally absolutely understand why.

isn't giant hobbits just a muggle?

Yeah but the hairy feet?

Like really, really hairy. You could mistake them for two small dogs.


Also, sorry if I come across like an arse (bad habit). Don't mean it that way at all.

...I'm patiently waiting on Der Bayer to get B.R.O.B.O.T. dialed in...

Pfft, not even possible. It's important to remember to bribe the officials.

That means I'll miss the race.
Also, I liked the grand finale of the BRC66 reviews.
