Looks like a cool robot, can't wait to see yours!

Wizard, a robot that's designed to look like a wizard hat. Its weapon is a spike (would be a drill, but of course that goes all chicken-y)
There appears to be no jpg file for skinning the cone, so Wizard has an orange top. If anyone knows how to skin the cone, it'd be cool.

Here's one I had a lot of fun with, it's a giant enemy Crushstacen, and you attack its weak point for massive damage. It's got two sets of pincers for putting the squeeze on opponents. The pincers were originally controlled using a pair of virtual reality gloves, the second coolest controller in Robot Wars.
Its claws are unfairly powerful, but so much fun to use. Especially when you do things like this to your opponents.

No, you misunderstand. The problem is that under the "maps" folder, there's a map for the bottom of the cone, but nothing for the top and sides. There's no bmp file that I can edit.

Here, SR. Try this gmf and map.

What burst are you using on Crushtacean?

Isn't it the Chicken sevo from the Beetlebros pack?

Here is the coolest controller in all of Robot Wars.

The thing is so big it has to be strapped to Rob's shoulders and worn around his waist like an enormous belt. That's the biggest antenna I've ever seen,

I've seen smaller ones on 1980's walkie-talkies. It looks like some weird device out of a 70's movie that would be the source of much amusement on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Only one replica today, but I think it merits a solo appearance.

Possibly the weirdest design I've ever done, it's Psychosprout. This robot was a ball with an R/C truck inside. Sadly, this robot failed the gauntlet, so we never got to see it battle another robot. (Although you can probably guess how that fight would've gone.) I've mounted it on the smallest body allowed, and I like let the ball break off and have other robots kick it around.

Wow, thats pretty cool. Muy bien.

So the ball is a custom part right?

Reier · « **Reply #176 on:** November 25, 2008, 02:44:54 PM »

I think it's the clown head bomb from the beetlebros pack...?

Thanks! As for battling, it's a mixed bag, but I try to make it so they can at least beat stock AI. New replicas:

Barberous, a robot whose weapon is a spinning drum. It looks like a barber's pole, hence the name. Had the potential to be destructive, but they made their drum out of plastic of all things, which interfered with any chance of success.

Roadblock, the champion of the first wars, made completely out of street signs. Rather wide, and practically the only robot on Robot Wars to use a wedge to great effect. It's featured in my newest Robot Arena 2 video (link to my channel is in my sig)
