Title: Official Freakbot Thread
Post by: J on January 05, 2011, 05:02:45 PM
That's right. J felt like re-creating that old thread from the original RA2 forums.
(Mostly because I searched for one on GTM, and found nothing.)

Also, if this thread is in the wrong section, then please move it to where it would belong.

So lets start off with something a little out of the ordinary:

No seriously, I bet none of you guys ever tried making a control board-less robot before ;)

So feel free to post away with weird/ridiculous/freakish/etc robots you made.

Ok, so this was moved to custom components.
Gotcha'.

yep since that is what you are using / what people are likely to use.

Again, thanks for moving it since I wasn't exactly sure which section it should go in.

Now the only thing left to do is see how popular this ends up.

But the zombie robot can still be killed, right?


Funny, I always thought the game would crash if your control board broke off.  Guess it's just batteries and air tanks.

I'm assuming the chassis can still be killed as if the control board was inside of it, right?

This sort of raises a question of, "Do circuit boards even do anything?"
I mean yea you get to use them to wire up the robot. And we all know that a part no longer "works" when it falls off, so why is this robot still working without a circuit board?
But then again, there is no "realism" to RA2 at all xD
Title: Re: Official Freakbot Thread
Post by: JoeBlo on January 07, 2011, 12:33:00 AM
game seems to not care less about a control board once the robot is loaded into an arena..

does its calculations elsewhere unlike batteries that are still required..

Then post it here, with your results.
Lets try and see what other parts can be abandoned while still having the robot work.

No, because it has been known to mess up RA2.

Mud pies render lego wizards useless, as they wont have enough run energy to run away and use ice barrage.

Thanks for making this thread, now I dont need to make a custom component bot showcase just to showcase 1 bot :D

As I promised a long while ago, I would post pictures of a C&C Renegade Mammoth Tank I made, so here it is:

Featues a 360 degree cannons

Thanks to me being a genious and putting the middle pieces on BSGs, getting an inside shot is easy as pie.

Build a complete turret over the cannons so it looks more like a mammoth tank
Title: Re: Official Freakbot Thread
Post by: somestrangeguy on January 08, 2011, 06:23:21 AM
Yeah, I know its missing the missle turrets, but do note that this bot was made on 19.5.2007

You think 70kg DSL hammers would fit the role?
Title: Re: Official Freakbot Thread
Post by: Naryar on January 08, 2011, 06:25:31 AM
Nah, I meant a full turret protecting the cannons.

Wait, mammoth tanks have missile launchers ? Aren't these Apocalypse tanks or they're just the damn same ?

Im not sure actually, I couldnt relocate the download because I had forgotten so I just hoped that these files were not corrupted and copied them from the corrupted RA2 folder.

At first I thought he BFE'd the chassis size from huge to small, leaving the components outside. But then the components wouldn't be sideways, I guess.

I made the chassis, put on motors and wheels normally, then attached about 10 of Mad's SZ's outside. I put batteries in those SZ's and since I could fit a control board as well, I put that there. Nothing complicated.
