Sage

Overview

Sage, an active member of the forum, has worked his way up to being one of the top builders of the game. Sage tries to be nice to new guys.

Sage made very helpful videos on the most important glitches in the game, the Effe glitch and Snapper Loading. Later, he released an Advanced Snapper Loading video, which has probably helped almost every member on the forum at least once.

Some of his most known bots are his Horizontal spinners, such as ULTIMATUM, the famous 36-iron HS, as well as developing the setup of the feared Absolute Chaos, one of the most well known bots of the game, with InfiniteInertia.

Also one of the last builders to still build Hammers. The reason for this Hammer obsession stemmed from his failed attempts at making a new Jabberwock for Starcore V4. Shamed by this failure (and by the video accompanying it) Sage developed the hammer design that is common today. Although, he does give credit to Pyscolone for giving him the idea to curve the arms of the hammers using multiple extenders. This opened up the door for hammers to become one of the top HS killers. The hammer bots Sage made, in order, are: L for Lick, L for Lick 2, Fatal Encounter (which featured the wide wedges now common on hammer bots), and Final Destination (featuring invincible caster armor, which is invaluable to protection against HS). All of these can be found in the first 15 pages of Sage's Showcase, if you want to see them.

Sage has set many new standards with bot building, usually in the HS category. He was the first to build a 36HS with 2 vertical snapperIIs, first to build a 36HS with one snapperII (and only one to make it invertible), and first to design a 36HS with 2 servos.

Sage is the third SHW on the forums.

Trivia

Sage has won 4 BOTM, making him tied with Clickbeetle for most wins.

Sage was the co-champion of the Tag-Team challenge tourney (his partner being Sorrow).

Sage had the username The RA2 Wizard for a while on Gametechmods because of a registration issue, but he has since regained his original name.

Sage's very first robot he ever posted was inspired by Pac-man (at least the chassis shape).

Sage joined the original forums on his 13th birthday.
