@roboticaust Woow I’m astonished… I never took in consideartion that there would be some sort of beefs beyond the minecraft scene. I really hate to hear all of this because if you guys could still help eachother out on projects you two could put out even more awesome builds. But I understand that this competitive world brings beefs with them and it is maybe better that you guys avoid eachother

@cspy10 yeah let’s just set the record straight…roboticaust is in no way stealing any ideas. I came to him with the idea of Redstone Wars, and he brought in a TON of great ideas on how to take it to the next level. Some of the ideas will stay with Redstone Wars, but others were just too awesome and really needed their own competition series. I’m just a simple hermit…these fancy randomizers and such are best put in Robot’s hands :) It’s going to be a RAD competition and I’m super excited

@roboticaust Etho for a long time I’ve thought of as a Water expert until a bit into his LP, where he just started doing whatever he wanted.

Yeah, he did come up with a cool idea with the boat roads; but they eventually got phased out with all the water bugs and minecart improvements. I see no point in “eats” anymore. Then again, I see no point in hostile mob sorting anymore either since the adventure update has essentially ruined grinding.

I heard :D
Yeah we used to redstone together before he got married, got a new job and got slammed with a heavy course load all within a few weeks time. Kinda why he vanished off minecraft for awhile there. He’s actual does comp science for a living, I’m just the geek who can look at it and strangely understand it. In real life applications, the gates are usually premade and wire length/crossing wires is irrelevant. So I have an advantage learning it without the real life cheats.

see, this is why roboticaust is the redstone guru…I would have stuck a pig in a minecart and spun him around a minetrack loop. That’s my hermit idea of a random number generator ;-)

@roboticaust scjoiner told you in one of his newest minecraft w/ stephen episodes that you need to come into his world and make all of his redstone more compact. i think

@Iseedeadkittens666
I thought so too. The show has a theme but the randomizer would add depth to it as well as throw people off. You couldn’t come in knowing exactly what you wanted to do, but rather would have to improvise like crazy. Also each master minecrafter would bring their own unique flavor to keep things interesting (as I’m sure, the competition would too).
