Also skinning could be improved. Download some skin packs and you can make better looking skins in the bot lab, or you can learn how to use Paint.Net or any other painting program of your choice so you can make HD skins outside the bot lab.https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=178 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=178)
Looks kinda dumb honestly.Lol, so does you avatar!!!
Go to 'Downloads' at the top of this page, and click 'Textures, Edges, and Decals' to find some skin packs you can use.Done, reskinned Premonition device with naster's pack link he sent on here and I think all of these are HW's. I have a lot of custon components on my version of RA2 and most of the components don't need to be accessed by cheatbot2. I'll try to put some pictures of it up but i'm a bit miserable after England's loss right now. What do you all think of Rebel's Revenge then?
Dude, learn how to make a good skin.Ok,

clean your bots up, they're all too messy.Please tell how I can improve then.

Jaydee, I think your overdoing things, try to make things more simple, basic chassis designs and then expand on them
Yeah, honestly, I'm not 100% sure why you're showcasing these. Custom bots, unless they look amazing, are just haxxy. I'd recommend sharpening your skills in DSL or Stock.Ok, I take it on board. There was a time like last year in which I built robots non-stop but... I'll showcase them if you want but don't be too shocked at how bad they are.
No offense but your bots are really REALLY ugly. At least make the skin look decent...Non taken, I tried to make the skin look decent but it does look quite bad.
They all look bland and messy.
The first bot isn't bad at all, however the square extender looks kinda dumb, I would suggest something like this:I've checked out Ironforge and going to download. Looks great!

A wedge like this may look nice too:

You should also bring in the motors more so the wheels don't stick out of the chassis.
As for Postal Order Package, the chassis is kinda of a weird shape, you really don't need to have it sloped in the front. 2WD with larger wheels would look a lot less awkward that set up you have now.
Also, you can guys please explain what is wrong with him using custom components? I mean he is having fun and as the wise Jack Daniels once said, the most important thing in RA2 is to have fun in the first place. On top of that, most you guys don't even seem to be trying to give him actual advice on his robots other than "hurr durr the skin sucks" or "they are bland".
P.S. You should check out Ironforge sometime Jaydee (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16448.0 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=16448.0)), I feel like it would suite you better than DSL 2.1 which everybody else has been telling you to build in.
seriously kid.my god what have i caused
just listen to the vets.
stick to dsl. learn up, and then later only build with custom.
look at me.
i first played stock for 5 days then got DSL.
it got me nowhere, the motors were confusing, everything essentially was confusing. even now, after a good 3-4 years of playing RA2 I have only just got into Text editing, and am still making no plans on making any of my own custom components
in the wise words of Bruce Lee, "I fear not the man who practices 10,000 kicks one time, but the man who practices 1 kick 10,000 times."
so please
go back to dsl
build, learn, improve.
What do you mean by 2WD?2 wheel drive, right now you have 4 wheels which doesn't look that great.
Take more time building your bots, I can tell a lot of these took very little time if any time at all.Most of them did take a long time. Others, not so much.
Ok, if you want to keep building with custom components, then fine, keep doing it, but don't just keep making loads and loads of bots without actually improving your building.
My advice is: Build and post one bot at a time.
That way we can give our feedback much more easily than if you post loads at once. Also, once you have posted the bot and looked at the comments, improve that bot using the feedback from the comments before building another one. That way your building skill will actually improve rather than stay at this constant plateau of 'meh' building.
TL;DR post bots one at a time please.
Those are all awful
please know how to play the game before you post
Atomic's friend looks fragile and the skin looks like gay puke. It's not actually that fragile and I agree with the skinWhen Helloface said it looks fragile, he means if an IRL bot had a flipper like that, It would just break off since there is no cross support or anything. Also, it does not need airtanks at all since bursts don't use Air.
Why is the scoop on a beta motor for Bassline. Bassline's scoop is on a beta motor because it flips.Bassline isn't realistic then since the flipper would go through the spinner.
Ramside is stupidly overpowered and looks even more retarded than Napalm's Nemisis. Nope, not retarded, powerful and not overpoweredIt is overpowered by a ton, each motor only draws 10 amps so you can easily power it with one Die hard battery or 1 Energizer + 1 Duracell pack. The chassis is bulky and just weird, plus if you are trying to do damage, DSL bars mounted like that won't be doing any IIRC. You should upgrade the drive too since RC motors aren't really that great on anything heavier than a LW.
And finally, I like Your Demons. haha, so do I!Your Demons looks well done and easily is the best thing you have made so far. I am going to assume it was the latest bot you have made, because if so, I hope the next bots you make have the same level of quality as that one
Why did you ignore the last part of my post?I don't get why he has to "learn" DSL when you can basically learn the same exact things in a mod like Ironforge in a much more simple manner.(for example Ironforge doesn't have a metric ton of basically useless parts)

Pick one RA2 mod and learn it before jumping into ll these custom parts. Doesn't have to be DSL, hell it could be the Alphasim robot wars pack for all I care. Just learn that one game mod before leaping into this cluster**** of components.Yeah, ok.
Here ya go.Aye, thanks.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54058World Rage.jpg)I have to agree with Lemon, the way the flippers go into the chassis doesn't look good at all. Also, the box kind-of shape doesn't fit with flippers like those. I also have a feeling there's a LOT of open space in this bot.

About the bot:
It looks like AS's BB9 MW but bigger. The extra size is just making it look bulky and awkward. The weapon setup look dumb and ineffective so you'll probably want to redesign that. Unless you were going for a CW, the bot is seriously underweight. You can either beef it up to make it a better HW or manage the weight better to make it a MW. If you're going to make it a HW, beef up your drive and weapons. Oh and I just notice, it appears you have 0 batteries in this thing. C'mon now, really? Also practice GIMP or something so you can make really skins instead of throwing this tacky cow print and throwing in some random penants on it.
About the splash:
What's going on in this splash? Why did you give us a random ass picture of SR's bot in the floor? If you thought it was cool enough to include, go ahead but I don't see the point of putting it on a splash about a completely different bot. Why did you box your cursor? You give us so many shots of the outside of the bot but I can't tell if you've put any batteries in the thing because of the angle of the inside shot. There's no order in the way the pictures are placed either. They're just jumbled together in a chaotic mess. We don't need all this extra purple around here.
I think I see a Cold Fusion Reactor hiding away in there, and a cheatbot2 Control Board.Yes you do. I was trying to find a Cheatbot component to fit on the bot but didn't find the particular one I wanted. The cold fusion reactor... I Always use one.
5/5 bretty custom
You still need to clean up your skins.
** hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I learnt that doing this bot! Thanks anyway. The picture thing, I'll do that.
**In terms of the bot, try to build your chassis around the components you are planning to use. This sounds like a weird backwards concept but it will save you weight for weaponry and armour. If you find this difficult, try drawing out bot designs with pencil and paper on a grid. (Also as mentioned before, SKINNNNNS)**
In general, if you need a guide on DSL, go read Naryar's, because it's one of the (If not THE) best guide on the forum to help builders.
protip: don't talk about rep
Alright SKBT,No dude. Your not taking these expert's advice, and thus, we're trying to help. You don't the right to talk back at SKBT because he's trying to make you improve. The Chassis, Batteries, Weapons, ect. are all in need of improvement for most of your robots. I know you want to make stuff different, but when it looks like crap, we don't need to see it, unless you want to improve. You can show off cool bots too, but it seems like it should be combat effective since it doesn't look all that cool either. I may be still a newb, but at least I'm taking whats to be advice from some of the greats, and trying to improve quietly.
Listen up. No-one said "This is the way you can build. Don't build a robot any other way..." I build my way. I'm not trying to follow anyone else's ways. My style of building. Just because you don't like my style, don't downrep me.
Alright SKBT,- "Alright SKBT", Confrontational towards a good user. (Minus 1)

I sincerely apologise to everyone involved, because I don't know why I even said that. It's unlike me to be stup-(Well actually no i'm an idiot but still).
I wouldn't have reacted badly to helloface's #rekt comment.Just remember Jaydee, if SKBT isn't happy with your work, feel as if it's motivation, like "I've got to improve to make him happy" or, you know, SKBT to respect your designs. Hopefully your next bot will blow us away. ;)
Also, I apologize to everyone for being a n00b.
Okay guys, I think we're done here, let's leave that behind now.
Watch Jaydee come back with a totally perfect bot now, making us all look like massive jackasses.
The chassis is way too huge and you don't need that many cold fusion reactors, take them out and leave 1 then:
- Reskin it- the skin isn't too bad but could be better
- spend weight upgrading the weapon system/looks of it
and reshowcase it, I'm sure after that it'll be 10x better :)
Needs better driveIt's probably a H4X motor :P
Needs better driveIt's probably a H4X motor :P
this probably won't blow you all away, but I think it's pretty good. And reminds me of Ripper.The chassis is to tall, batteries are a bit much, needs stronger drive (unless I'm mistaken) and the wheels... (are those ants?) What's the flipper motor?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93084real.jpg)
Who cares if the chassis is big? It's an IRL bot.Cause it's big clunky and stupid looking. It's like when you go to a theme park and the characters are walking around in those oversized costumes and they just look really awkward, yeah it's got a bit of that going on.
Well, I see what you mean there - it could still give the same look while being a little smaller, but people shouting about chassis size for the sake of chassis size rather than looks in a class about looks is silly in my opinion.Well, Naryar is.
I not gonna commet on all your bots jaydee, no matter how insanely messy the skins are, and such a huge chassis, shrink it!lol
They do!I not gonna commet on all your bots jaydee, no matter how insanely messy the skins are, and such a huge chassis, shrink it!lol
But anyway, do the artifact things prevent bots from going up it?
Why is it so tall? Why is it so huge?It was a ripper tribute.
Build your chassis around your components and not the other way around. It will look a lot more slick and will be much more efficient.
Who cares if the chassis is big? It's an IRL bot.Thanks.
You should give making an HD skin a try. I make a lot of robots that look pretty mediocre until I give them a nice skin, and if you look at most of the good builders they do put time into their skins.I wasn't too bothered about the skin. Same with all my robots. Thanks anyway.
The flipper itself looks not too bad to me, although I would use a mini extender to put the police light on top of the robot, to keep the flipper looking cleaner, and add a piston underneath, as the other guys said. Also I don't know how you put the flipper together but it might be possible for you to get rid of the gaps between the plates with effe and bigger panels, again to make it look cleaner.
Overall, I'd say it does show improvement from your previous stuff.
Ripper blah blah blahthis probably won't blow you all away, but I think it's pretty good. And reminds me of Ripper.The chassis is to tall, batteries are a bit much, needs stronger drive (unless I'm mistaken) and the wheels... (are those ants?) What's the flipper motor?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93084real.jpg)
I would also recommend (like Naster) to use a better skin. Also that weapon at the back wont do anything (not to mention it doesn't seem that cool imo)
Better then the rest, in my opinion.
(Edited huge to tall, since that's what I meant. Maybe the sides are a bit big, idk).
I guessNeeds better driveIt's probably a H4X motor :P
Ah. At first glance I thought they were astros.
Would help If there was only one picture up close so I could see the components clearer. :P
The chassis is way too huge and you don't need that many cold fusion reactors, take them out and leave 1 then:I left one in!
- Reskin it- the skin isn't too bad but could be better
- spend weight upgrading the weapon system/looks of it
and reshowcase it, I'm sure after that it'll be 10x better :)
And then, we can leave reccomendations on how to improve it further after that
Why do we need inside shots on a non-competitive robot.The skin doesn't even matter. Why are you putting it as the focal point of your complaint?

I wasn't too bothered about the skin. Same with all my robots.And that there is my main problem with all of your robots. If you can't make the robot look nice using components effectively, then you can use the skin as something to fall back on. I bet if you had given this robot a nice skin it would have been much better received.
1. Why are the air tanks in there? You don't need them for this kind of bot, they're unnecessary and useless.I'm never offended by advice. I know what you mean by fake piston's. I'll do the wheel hole thing as I couldn't find a drive motor smaller than that and they're the only wheels that don't give much ground clearance but let you drive.
2. Is the skirt hinge a custom burst motor modified to be powerful? That's my only theory why that's there in the first place.
3. Please use extender work of some to make a fake piston making the flipper IRL since that is what you are going for.4. Add some wheel hole on the side where the wheel pops out so it doesn't look unrealistic and awkward or hide them in the chassis.
5. You don't need to make any fancy splash unless your trying to show off something that looks like a BOTM Splash.
I hope this is helpful advice and I don't mean to offend you.
It's not awful, at least. The flipper arm looks decent.
However, I think it'd look better with the wheels tucked inside the chassis.
I honestly think the robot is decent, obviously an improvement over 4 Real. What you need to add is some extenders under the flipper to look like a ram and bring the wheels in. You also don't need the air tanks as burst motors don't draw air.Why do we need inside shots on a non-competitive robot.Shut up, helloface.

It's really not that hard to put a little effort into skinning a robot nicely.
The robot itself doesn't look that bad imo, although I really dislike the wheels sticking out of the chassis like that. Looks awkward.
He's probably complaining because it's not a very clear font to use, and a bit unnecessary. Irrelevant to the robot, but good general advice.I always try a good skin on my robots. I'm just not totally bothered about a robots skin.
I've got an idea. Look at any decent IRL builders (mainly MassimoV, Scrap daddy, Thyrus, and a few others) and try to clone it, then we can detect that when you build your bots, what you are most faulty at :)
And I'm sorry if what I said was harsh :)
And here, we see the not as skilled builders on GTM flock together in order to exert their almost non existant superiority on a builder who is not as "skilled" as them, by repeating the same thing over and over.Sorry about that.
Really not helping guys, let the people who can actually give advice do it. Redace's, Lemon's and Natster's were all that were needed.
In the end it's up to you what you build- the idea is to take the advice you get and work it into your own style. Problem is people get annoyed when a person doesn't seem to listen to the advice- just meld it into what you build and you will improve- and make bots that you'll feel prouder of.
And yes, please shut up helloface.

Jaydee, you really need to work on your management of chassis space and components. I know you're going for "realism" with the air tanks (pistons and servo pistons are the only components that actually need air tanks), but you shouldn't spam 10+ small air tanks randomly. That's not realistic, that's stupid. So is the fact that your heavyweight bot is powered by a tic-tac box sized battery. If you're going to use an edited battery, consider copying over a supervolt (the big black battery) from stock and editing the .txt file to suit your needs (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/modding.htm#txtfile). You also need to focus on trying to get your robot up to the weight limit. 470kg on any robot is unacceptable, let alone a custom bot where you can edit anything's weight/damage/HP/etc on a whim. You seem to claim that "this robot was made in DSL3", when there is clearly a (most likely edited) skirt hinge powering the flipper, and a battery not found in DSL 3.I am sorry man but this is just bad advice. It's a custom bot, who cares how much it weights? All that matters in the end is if it looks good.
I've got an idea. Look at any decent IRL builders (mainly MassimoV, Scrap daddy, Thyrus, and a few others) and try to clone it, then we can detect that when you build your bots, what you are most faulty at :)Let me just stop you right here. We got more than enough clones as is. We do not need another cloner.
First off, this showcase is a complete mess, and you're all making it MORE of a mess by throwing sh**fits at each other giving advice you don't agree with. Yes, helloface could have elaborated on what he means by "dat skin is retarded dude", but that doesn't mean he needs multiple people telling him to shut up. Just have one guy say "that may be wrong and here's why:" and leave it at that.Can someone up-rep Mr.As for this? Thank you. It was made with custom components and the tic-tac battery is an infinite battery from TommyProductionsInc that came with Orrion. But I don't like the idea of a weight limit. If I'm trying to make a good robot but go over a self-made limit in the process then the robot isn't going to be good. People building for robot wars didn't say "the limit is 100 kg but I just wanna make a 500 kg robot" but apart from that, thanks.

If you don't understand what I'm trying to get at with this, or if you don't know how to edit components for your custom component bot, feel free to PM me or add me on skype. It's awesumsaucew (dumb username, I know). I'm open for any questions.

In short, don't be a parrot. Don't give advice on things you can't do yourself.Jaydee, you really need to work on your management of chassis space and components.

It's a custom bot, who cares how much it weights? All that matters in the end is if it looks good.
So yes, the inside doesn't look good, but "efficiency" or "chassis space" has absolutely nothing to do with it. Just throw in a few orange batteries and large tanks and that's it.
The bot's shape is fine. It can use a better skin. I don't know why people are swarming at him about all the other things that doesn't matter.I've got an idea. Look at any decent IRL builders (mainly MassimoV, Scrap daddy, Thyrus, and a few others) and try to clone it, then we can detect that when you build your bots, what you are most faulty at :)Let me just stop you right here. We got more than enough clones as is. We do not need another cloner.
Showcase of the year 2014Dunno if this is legit but thanks.
TBH I like helloface but you're right.What are you talking about?He is talking about how all these people who never seem to comment anywhere else other than here and constantly repeat the same things over and over and how like 4 people posts the same exact thing.And that last part is just immature.So using the word retarded to describe someone's skin choice isn't immature?
what makes a person more skilled at this game than anyone else so we can trespass the invisible barrier that prevents anyone who isn't a 100% master guru at RA2 from giving advice
It's kind of pathetic how we all just immediately bash each other's advice instead of encouraging the newbie to follow it. I saw no problem with any of the advice given, including mine. I could have worded it better and tbh I did come of as a bit of a dick, but it's still valid.Because I can copy/paste this into your showcase and it will be entirely accurate.
Why do we need inside shots on a non-competitive robot.
Why is the skin you used so retarded.
Why are you still not taking anyone's advice.
I really think that this thread needs a restart.You are confusing "bad advice" with someone being a douchebag. Let's take an example from your showcase.
Seriously, who cares if people post bad advice? - If Jaydee is sensible enough, he will ignore any bad advice given. It's his choice who he listens to and to be honest, everyones opinion is a valid viewpoint. You guys shouldn't really be slamming each other for posting personal opinions of what is right and what is wrong with the bots.
Yeah I know I'm going to get a "Too many cooks spoil the broth" response here but in my opinion, the more the merrier. The whole idea of a showcase is to present your bots to the community, and if you want some of the members to not get involved with the thread then how can it be considered a good presentation if only certain people are able to evaluate the bots shown?
Not too bad, skin sucks though.
Why else would I post advice other than to help?I really think that this thread needs a restart.You are confusing "bad advice" with someone being a douchebag. Let's take an example from your showcase.

He's not trying to help.
Why am I posting this? Because someone need to put the spotlight on the bottomfeeders trying to feed their own ego among the chaos.

I don't really care if he was trying to help or not, he still gave me an opinion which I can base my next move for the bot on. Him saying the skins sucks is just a more blunt way of saying "Improve the skin."You must have never gotten a single insightful comment about aesthetics in your whole life. I don't blame you, nobody give a rat about aesthetics nowadays.
-This is the whole two sides of the same coin deal. It depends at how you look at a person's response.
How is that not advice? Why are you trying to create note drama and keep digging more when it should have been over and done?I don't really care if he was trying to help or not, he still gave me an opinion which I can base my next move for the bot on.

Telling someone to "Improve the skin" is just as useless as "your skin sucks". If that's somehow useful I should go to every showcase and say "Your bot's weak, make your bot stronger".

I'm only requesting one clone, and then we could all help find out what goes wrong when Jaydee makes his bots, why shouldn't that be the case?I've got an idea.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12179screenshot_14.PNG)This was the last showcased version but i have a newer one. Just look at this then back to the original video.
Anti Gravity 3.6.Tite 1.
...is it sad that that might actually be better than half the bots you've postedso Your Demons was nothing :frown:
Don't be expecting too many, I just felt like creating a bunch of jokebots. My first for this:Learn to crop pictures next time.

So it's me again. I tried making Rottweiler but the bfe screwbar'd but I was left with quite a neat chassis which I didn't want to waste it. So here's the result.Not bad.

Could I have that bot on the bot exchange, please?I'll try, it'll take time
why does it use a ramplate for a spinner? did you mod its txt?Testing to see how much damage it does. As the stock ramplate does, I just wanted to see. What about it catching fire?
That was only in the BBEANS arena.
The fire thing happens when you turn the PC on and attack it in Mad's Test Garage.How did I turn it on though? Just by driving in to it?
No magic secrets.
By pressing one of the buttons with green symbols in the garage and then driving into it/attacking it.Thank you
