#1 - You must use the supplied chassis to build your bot
#2 - The bot must be STOCK HW and best if most weight is used
#3 - You CAN use AI parts
#4 - You CAN NOT modify the Chassis in any way
#5 - You can skin the components and chassis to match
#6 - Make a splash of your bot showing the weight and the insides too

You do not have to include the .bot file in your upload....just a splash and your name (but you can send bot file if you like)
DO NOT PM ME TO SEE IF I GOT YOUR ENTRY....THE UPLOADER WILL TELL YOU!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
Regular BOTM will continue as usual
EDIT: vBulletin sucks....it copied the old link!
-
I see that stacking blacks is a must with this chassis... That pretty well rules me out
-
I sense a HS fest.
Edit after Sage: and yeah, stack a CB in two blacks...
-
wow acams. you're making us stack 2 blacks and CB. I'm not gonna waste a day trying to do that, and I'm not gonna cheat either.
Horrible chassis IMO. :/
Expect no entry form me unless you raise the chassis 2 notches.
-
i have stacked a cb halfway in the chassis poking out of the top... but that was once.
-
Sage, you must learn.
Any faggots who build a gay-style HS or cheat...then you should be banned.
-
I will change it to MW if it will make it easier.
-
NO
-
nah its fine. i have decided to participate anyways, because i realized that learning to stack 2 blacks + cb is something i need to do.
sorry about the earlier rant type thing.
-
I spent hours on that chassis, you can spend a few minutes making possibly one of your best bots with it!
-
Any faggots who build a gay-style HS
What do you call a gay-style HS ?
Anyways, i'm in... but if i can't stack the goddamn CB in 2 blacks...
-
I rarely use 2 blacks in my HW bots......by the time your batteries are drained, your opponent is dead or you have lost most of your weapons.
Besides, this bot just has to look mean, not necessarily fight good, as nobody will see it fight (unless you want to all send your bot file and have me fight them too.

Depends. Would you rather marry a beautiful woman that screws up everything she touches or an ugly but very skilled one ?
-
hmm... :P lol
I guess we have to look for a happy medium
-
That is one tiny chassis! I doubt I'll ever stack 2 blacks the CB in one spot and 2 snappers/servos in the other with such a small chassis. Oh well, I might enter this one (and no, I won't enter a HS :P). :D

That is a no brainer.....a beautiful woman that screws everything.

I can assure you that 2 snapper II's do indeed stack in the alloted space.
-

For some reason I expected that. I dunno why. o_O

Yeah I know it's possible. I'm just saying it might be impossible for me to do it given the tight schedule. Oh well, time to perfect the setup. :D
-
This one's ruled well well out for me. Stacking abillity isn't enough to even get an AW out of it.
-
Good luck pulling a successful popup out of this chassis...
-
The chassis was for my MW tournament bot, but I will make a HW out of it and enter this contest too!
-
the only think this chassis might be able to do are rammers hammer(maybey) hs or vs. no pistons or popups
-
I would love to see a hammer made from that. :P
-
I could probably get the extender work in place for a decent hammer... If you're creative enough, you could potentially make any bot type.
My only problem is the stack. I tried for about an hour today to stack the control board in one black and I couldn't do it.
-
Try putting the control board down first.
-
won't you give us the chassis + black Bat + Control board. if you 've done it yet.
this will help a lot and maybe there should be more challengers.
i spend times trying to put them... and it is starting to bore me, i'm here for the fun, not to be on my nerves. i leave out unless you gives us a what i talked about .
-
I haven't tried doing it yet but I think something difficult is actually good for a bot building competition,
-
I tried it, well I can now stack black batts around 25% of the time, but the CB in there is a killer.
-
One Black Regular Z teks?
-
Here is what I have so far...
I created a max-size guinea pig chassis to test on and placed control boards through the chassis at different heights. The control board set at 4 notches high would hit the sweet spot on a black battery in two different directions. (stacking the battery over the board that is)
I could not get the board to stack into a battery at four notches high though. Placing the control board in the perfect location on that tiny chassis became a pain. I tried for about 2 hours to hit the right spot and then stack a battery on it. Going to keep practicing though...
On the bright side I will be the first to admit that if I can't stack a board in a black I am entering a bot with stacked pinks instead :P
There... I broke the mold... now you all can quit whining and build a bot with pinks.
-
Then this tournament will actually be a challenge for everyone ---not a cakewalk!

^^ agreed ^^ should help people improve on space management skills too
-
I can't even stack a CB into one black in that damned chassis.
2 snappers were easy to stack, 2 blacks were pretty hard but that's jus the damn chassis !
-

question : if it takes you hours to stack a CB on the Black Bat : what have you learn after these hours ?
response : that you should have gain hours by increasing the size of your chassis by a few pixel.
and all the time you've lost playing with your black bat and CB have not been spent building a good bot and trying to use at it best the free space (left the bb and the CB).
i strongly militate for a bot sample with an already bb and CB.

Correct answer :icon_twisted:
-
PB is right, but there are ways to simplify doing it (=
-
i know a way : edit the .bot -notepad++-, increment chassis size percent, call RA2, put Bats and CB, exit RA2, edit the chassis, let it back to its original size
is it really fair play ?
-
what I was getting at is that if people who haven't bothered to try stacking might be able to use this as a good exercise,
yes changing the chassis size would work, yes it would make things easier and yes I haven't popped a vein trying to stack it yet... but I see this as a challenge
-
Next time we will build a SHW with THIS CHASSIS (http://myfolderz.com/temp/2.4.bot)
-
haha and you would be expecting how many entries ? It might be possible with unrealistic dsl
-
Pinks guys... I am telling yah! Geeze... such a fuss. :P
-
HMPTH.
Dam bot havoks when it touches ANYTHING.

Unless he updated the chassis it I'm curious as to how you got a working bot using it.
... Unless you're using DSL. (Though I wonder what you can do to get a competent HW with something that small)
-
1 Black, 1 control board and then make a nice rammer, HS, or VS and you will have a winner.....unless somebody REALLY shines, then they were probably gonna do good anyway.
-
lra2.....quit cussing, because we know how
old young you are and it sounds stupid!
-
hmmm i bet sys32 would have great gif right now for lra2
-
Wait a sec. Cannot modify the chassis... So we can't skin it, and it must stay white ?
EDIT: And for once i find rm244 somewhat funny...
-
should have said GIFt instead
edit: i dont know if that is a compliment or a diss.
-
Between both.
Compliment for me, Diss for LRA2.
And yes, yes I do.

Hey,I uploaded my zipped file,NOW WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO!?
-
Oh mai!
-
Well?ME NEEDS AWNSER!
I may just have to PM ACAMS....
-
Read the front page...
epicfail01
-
Hmm,Acams,Do you know if ya got a NEW entry?
-
Hey,I uploaded my zipped file,NOW WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO!?
The uploader tells you that it uploaded successfully! Do I need to make it say that it uploaded successfully in capital letters?
Quit using CAPITAL LETTERS and don't post unless it is absolutely necessary.
EDIT: (those that read this last line before my edit...disreguard and forget anything I may have said!)
life robot arena2, you are disqualified...a red battery will not fit the chassis I posted.........
Now leave me alone and if you submit another without cheating, don't bother me then either!
EDIT #2: It is ACAMS, not Acams
-
Can we skin the chassis?
-
Im think im going to sit this one out unless something comes to me, I used up all my imagination on my RAW entry... I think this is the first time since april (I think) I wont be entering a voting based tournament,
-
4 possible non HS entries...what to enter...?
-
Can we skin the chassis?
Sure, why not?
Im think im going to sit this one out unless something comes to me
WUSS!!!!
4 possible non HS entries...what to enter...?
That chassis is just screaming to be a HS, but since I am building a HS then maybe you should do something different so you will have a chance!
-
I got a fail VS almost done. I'll showcase it when I apply finishing tweaks (just to make it look cooler). But I won't be entering that one. XD
-
......life robot arena2, you are disqualified...a red battery will not fit the chassis I posted.........
LRA2 is cheating? .... Holy cow! Sacrebleu! Yowzer! Oy Veh! Δελτίο σκατά (waste of a male bovine)! :eek:
Oh, well...
-
I have a rammer in preparation but i am lazy to build it because of assloads of snapper loading, and i'm not skilled enough to build it entirely in BFE.
-
EDIT: (those that read this last line before my edit...disreguard and forget anything I may have said!)

And thats what i get for GMF swapping....The ole venko way.
-
AND THIS!!!
(https://gametechmods.com/Pics/lra2weight.png)
^^^HELL, that may as well be put in MW class! ^^^
Plus you actually had the nerve to PM me AND EMAIL me to see if I got it when the uploader CLEARLY states the file uploaded!
-
ROFL CHEATER weight classic:lol:. @ LRA2 if you took the time to read the instructions in the threads for Competition and Tourney's people will be less angry with you and maybe, just maybe take out there Sig's they want you banned. I would remeber that in future posts to come;)
-
There isn't any rule on BFE'ing.
But still a nifty on that chassis... that was so obvious...

Oh?
Well you just gave me ideas. Heheh.
-
NO BFE, OR AMM, OR CHEATING OF ANY KIND UNLESS THE TOURNAMENT RULES STATE THAT IT IS OK!!!!! (and that does sometimes happen)
Normal glitches that work in the bot lab are always OK, except in a realistic tournament.
-
Wait... lra2 knows how to bfe!?!
Where did he learn it!?!
edit: ohh its gmf swapping... But still where did he learn that!?!
-
Maybe the fact that everyone is just sending everyone guides on how to do it?
IMO should be kept secret like it used to be...
-
I have only sent one to jack daniels... and that was for replicas only.
-
roboman....it isn't THAT hard. Maybe even for lra2.
-
oh well...
-
INf made a video on the fall of venkoism showig how to gmf swap.

SO PUKE OVER HIM.

why?
at least lra2 isnt swearing in that post.:)
edit: i finally have more posts than lra2!
-

Posts don't matter.

i know, but i just wanted to put that out there.
-

It's like saying LRA2 is better than RFS because he has more posts than him.
-
no im saying that lra2 has been on the forums for half the time, but had more posts.
-
edit: i finally have more posts than lra2!
NOBODY. GIVES. A . DAMN. ABOUT. YOUR. POST. COUNT.
This sort of useless posts are the reason you're being whacked rm2444.
-
nobody gives a f*uck about you!!!

^^^^ @ Nary I hope you see now why I blew up in my showcase;).
-
I don't see why did you had to BLOW UP and insult him and use rude words, no.
Oh and are you Bulgarian ?
-

Because he just posts just to get his post count up as you have already seen and it's annoying and noobish:neutral:.
NVM forget it I'm not going spam this thread sigh....... What the heck is a Bulgarian???
-
wow Bulgaria is a country
no im not
-
You guys are too young... The most known Bulgarian in the forum was Venko... check his profile and i think you somewhat post like him, Viper.
-
actually he was around sometimes when i was on.
-
True, but you never was here in the real Venko era.
So much that Click decided to delete all of the flame war in his showcase - not a very good idea since he deleted a good part of Venko's story...
-
lol

I made about ten posts about that when he joined! he he.

hm. I will lose cause of the lazy ass splash I did.

If i had a dime for every time you say you are going to lose a tourney...
I am going to go on a limb here and guess that you believe in jinxes. So you claim that you are going to lose when, in fact, you are actually a decent contender.
Or! This is like a poker bluff... your splash does not suck at all... You are claiming that it is a lazy splash to confuse people so that they wont vote for the pretty splash one based on the possibility that you made it. You want votes for your bot to be genuine, so you play mind games on the community.
Ha! I got you figured out Dr. Evil.
(http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff49/Razgul42/dr_evil.jpg)
-
Hm.
Well Mr. Powers, I believe you make have me figured out... or maybe not. It could be an even more elaborate plan than that... or I could have meant what I said. You will never know... unless you pay me a sum of 1 MILLION DOLLARS.
-
Hm.
unless you pay me a sum of 1 MILLION DOLLARS.
If you pay me a dime for every time you said you were going to lose... yeah... i might have close to 1 Million Dollars to pay you with. :D
*edit... sent my bot as well*
-
We have lots of entries in BOTH bot tournaments this time, and I have been at work for 3 weeks....they told me I can go home tomorrow!
ANYWAY....here is my speed downloading all the pics (which I have to check and reupload)
(https://gametechmods.com/Pics/dlspeed.jpg)
Voting will go up tomorrow when I get home!
Those of you that may have entered an illegal bot, forgot to include your name or submitted the wrong size pic.....you have till tomorrow to correct it and upload a legal one.
Those who have not entered, you have till tomorrow when I get home and settled in.
-
instead of being max width 700 and height 800 mines backwards. Is that not okay or are you that picky?
-
Since it is Robot Design Tournament and not BOTM it will be OK this time. Future Robot Design Tournaments will be 800 x 700 as they will go on the WIKI.....BOTM MUST be 700 x 800 or I have to resize it to fit the front page.
Those of you who want to redo your Robot Design Tournament pics to 800 x 700 can do so by tomorrow when I get home and post the entries.
