Here be a couple of Bot designs I did in MS Paint.

Nice job. I kinda want to try making that above bot in RA2.

Also, welcome aboard.

Thank you, and I aleredy had done one simular, a long while back, though sadly, due to the limits of the game, there wasn't any way of gearing it to drive three wheels with two motors, it all had to be directly drivien, so had like eight total motors in it to power everything.

actually, there are axles where you can place wheels and they freely rotate. most builders discourage this however as axles (+ the free moving wheels) are a waste of weight. However for IRL and aesthetic purposes, I think it's a more than welcome idea

As SHIELD says, free-rotating axles are a solution to that issue - it's a heavy solution and won't be as fast as motors on everything, but with a good set of motors powering 2 wheels it'll do okay. I feel like the design (and this solution) would work well in Ironforge as single motors on their own can be crazily fast.

I must say I was dreading the worst when I saw that thread title. I have been pleasantly surprised, those look great.

Why would you be dreading bot pictures? And Thank you.

Why would you be dreading bot pictures?
because we've had some pretty bad "artists" before ;p

I think it's what 09 and Reier said. It's mostly since MS paint isn't as technical or advanced as say Gimp, Paint.net, and especially Photoshop. So with little tools that mostly people have barely used in MS paint can make pretty ugly things. What I'm trying to say is that it's really all expectations.

It has nothing to do with MS paint being as technical or advanced, it's just when people hear "MS Paint bots" they auto think of sparkey's stuff

Pacman bots make me want to kill myself.

Cool, check out advanced robot combat if you like doing this.
