lel stock aw
wait... cheatbot2 is allowed but not the 140cm extender ?
-
AAM, BFE and HAX mode is allowed .... but not the 140 cm extender and it never will be!
-
Ohmai, this is awesome. Definitely will be building for this.
-
party time :D

Why not?
-
2 Stock BOTMs in a row?
:party
-
>Stock Lightweight
>Cheatbot2 parts are allowed
Ironic, since all the cheatbot parts have massive weights.
Regardless, I wonder how many people will actually use that?
-
YES!
-
AAM, BFE and HAX mode is allowed .... but not the 140 cm extender and it never will be!
Why not?
Because it's unbalanced compared to the other square extenders. It's 20cm longer than the 120cm extender, but weighs 25kg less.
-
Now, Stockers, never complain about the lack of Stock BOTMS. :P
May enter this one.. will play around anyway.
-
I complain about lack of DSL BOTM.

You can't be serious.
-
I'd complain about the lack of DSL realism BOTMs but I know that's not how ACAMS builds, so mer XD

who cares dsl sucks
-
ACAMS should have a BOTM that allows that Mega Adapter.
Idiotic, yes.
But it would be funny as heck to see what everyone comes up with.
-
How bout one of these times we have a DSL vs Stock BOTM? Problem is, the stockers would vote for the stock and the dslers would vote for the dsl. Ooh! make it a mixed multibot BOTM. One part of the multibot is DSL the other stock. Then nobody could gripe tooo much
-
lets stop this stock vs dsl madness please.
Stock - The original game we all fell in love with, has the greatest AI packs ever (Starcore, PYS, INF).
DSL - The community mod, allows for people to build better IRL robots, has more options.
They are both great :)
-
>Stock
>AW
Two things I completely suck at, rolled into one BotM.
inb4 ianh05 wins.
-
inb4 ianh05 wins.
lol I wish. I suck at making splashes, I'm hopeless at thinking up cool names and I always want controlled movement so anyone making a 1-wheeler has the advantage of an extra 30+kgs.
-
Are air-powered Antweights even possible?
I have an idea for a robot, but it depends on if I can actually build it.

You probably couldn't use any sort of drive but it would be possible.
-
Alright, I submitted an entry.
My splash for it is a little ridiculous/idiotic, and as usual, you guys can tell it was mine.
-
I usually like Stock, but I didn't enter this one.
Hopefully Click entered with some crazy cool AAM/BFE bot. :o

I was going to enter, but I ended up forgetting and I started the bot two days late. Oh well.

I sent my entry 2 days late. I think I still made it.

FFFUUU
I didn't send mine out of principle.

I just noticed-
Normal building with all glitches allowed INCLUDING AAM, BFE and HAX mode
.....
My entry stands no chance.

that's the shameful thing, you can build something very creative without bot editing and lose to something generic that uses bot editing.

how is quark generic
To me it's generic, it's just another spinner where you smack on as many weapons as possible. Also what are the weapons on? an invisible disc? What's the wheel on?

The Z-tek, quite obviously. And there is no disc, just 4 bp anchors each with an iron on it.

It looks like the wheel's on the HPZ, I think, and the Irons are each on a BA. It's more of a FBS to me than a horizontal spinner, if you look at the components shot.

That it is, but it does take a creative route to get there. The wheel should be spinning, but instead, the amount of friction it creates with the ground is enough to keep the wheel stable and the entire chassis spinning instead. Like NFX said, it's an FBS, and it can't move itself at all other than the spinning if that helps you understand.
