this is not supposed to be a mod for building in, can people seriously not see this? That's what ironforge and DSL are for. It's an amazing mod for what its supposed to do.

Basically including anything new in the botlab is just to add a little extra bulk. The replicas are what people want, and they're what people have, and frankly, of the absolute highest quality RA2 will ever have.

Though balanced bot building would be astounding and would be the build your own designs and fight amazing replicas icing on the cake of amazing replicas.

You still can build your own designs as it is. Use everything as you should and it'll be fine...

honestly i cant tell if you are that retarded or just trolling, it should be painfully obvious that this never mod was never made to cater to an competitive scene and made for people who probably never played ra2 before and just wanted to build some fun bots to fight replicas with.

or just trolling

You got me. I was only pretending to criticize the balance of the components the entire time! This is way too "lulzy" _{(Note: Lulz is a corruption of L O L, which stands for "Laugh out loud")} [/hurr]

I already explained why I think not focusing on component balance (like, at all) is a bad idea.

Remember, I'm not complaining just for the sake of complaining, I have the best intentions for your mod and don't want it to just stay as a novelty mod that'll fizzle out and be forgotten (see: alphasim's robot wars mod). Why do you think DSL lasted so long? Because it had a variety of components that weren't as overpowered as the components in this mod.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #67 on:** June 22, 2016, 01:19:31 AM »

Plastic 7 (not a typo, it has 7 mm of plastic). Almost have enough components made where I can start building teams.

Disclaimer: the wheels I'm using are really crappy for SHWs. They're something like 5 kg apiece and only have 0.81 grip.

Really need to whip up some speed-based wheels soon.

Now that's just silly.

What's up with the cameras on the sides?

All the camera angles he coded were unuseably bad and he couldn't be arsed to fix them, so he made the user make their own. Oh wait, sorry, wrong game.

They could be flamethrowers.

Here are the other 2 teams included in Restocked's alpha. Remember, the alpha currently has 3 teams.

Team1 - Abyss

L to R
Top row:
AW - Nematode, AW poker
BW - Tentacle Attack, named after the starcore ai bot and not after my search terms ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
SHW - Piranha, Flipper/clamp hybrid, thinking about raising the wedges higher so it looks more IRL
Bottom row:
LW - Sting Ray, high damage rammer
MW - Angler, uses ramming weapons on axle mounts. Putting weapons on axle mounts doesn't make rammers OP like they do in DSL, since every weapon is concussion and has 0 piercing.
HW - Hammerhead, tanky SnS with a lot of weapon weight. You can't do this is DSL or ironforge IRL building without getting called out.

Team2 - Deconstruction Crew

Top row:
AW - Hard Hat, basically a filler bot, but it looks kind of cool I guess
BW - Jackhammer, shows off how pushy plows and pistons are. It can shunt robots across the arena with ease
SHW - Robot that doesn't exist. It's basically going to be a steamroller (with damaging roller wheels), but I haven't actually made the rollers yet.
Bottom row:
LW - TNT, glass cannon, either smacks you do death with it's slamhammer or gets its fragile chassis beaten up
MW - Geopolymer, kills spinners with 240kg of plows on its sides
HW - M A S H E E N, pusher + flipper with 270kg worth of plows, plows are intentionally excessively heavy so that you can use them as viable weapons to deweapon spinners, or as surefire stabilizers. This particular bot probably won't deweapon any spinners though, because of it's lack of top/bottom protection.

Most dope

name the shw to have something to do with a crush fetish thanks

Mr. AS · « **Reply #74 on:** August 17, 2016, 01:25:07 AM »

2 more teams for Restocked's upcoming beta.

Team3 - Dosh $quad

Top row:
AW - Carat, speedy rammer with high damage output, very fragile though (like the economy)
BW - Ponzi, rammer/SnS/crawler(?) hybrid
SHW - Bumbo, wants coin. 10 "wheel" drive. Very durable, but easy to box rush.
Bottom row:
LW - Fat Cat, gutripping VS with intersecting beater bars to make a cool multi-pointed star weapon.
MW - Midas, hammer with 120kg worth of plow.
HW - 1-800SCAMNOW, glass cannon HS. There's a joke in there somewhere about the Eaglebox and the USA's crippling deficit.

Team4 - The Hive

AW - Toxin, pusher
BW - Weaver, SnS made for sweeping away other BWs
SHW - Daddy Long Legs, Topknot-esque hammer/SnS. Also casually has 360kg worth of plow.
Bottom row:
LW - Brown Recluse, weapon spam rammer. Based off Clickbeetles BBEANS 3 entry.
MW - Widow, HS that switches to ram tactics with the rear spike when it loses its HS spikes.
HW - Arachnid, dual HS with ramming spikes/armor set up on tribars.

Nice Binding of Isaac references, also unless i'm utterly blind i can only 6 wheels on Bumbo, are the other ones under the chassis or what ?

MassimoV · « **Reply #76 on:** August 17, 2016, 02:41:25 PM »

Love that 4-way hammer thing.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #77 on:** September 10, 2016, 09:22:53 PM »

Ti 3

it's thick

Uses thrusters to both accelerate the hammer and to make it more stable while firing the hammer.

MassimoV · « **Reply #78 on:** September 10, 2016, 10:03:21 PM »

Thicc tires. Nice idea for the thruster hammer.

Beetah
Is that a hammer motor? Also guess with Retooled's style, it's best to have a small chassis just like in almost every mod?
