Thanks. Have we invented a way to make a component break off when the bot gets flipped? Because I can think of a lot of bots of mine that that would help.

why not just make it have no collision ?

Just use a thermidor antenna.

Liking it, does it have turning issues like the original did?

Not too sure. I'd have thought something like a Metal Hinge with less torque for an antenna, so it could flex flat if you were inverted, then spring up again when you're the right way up.

Surprisinly not that major, I guess it's because of the game's physics - the drill and frame are relatively light compared to the body and innards.

Biothan. I like how it's got a minimalistic chassis.

Science Block:

Nice. Do you keep a list of all the replicas you have and haven't done?

Biothan is pretty awesome, but the colors of Science Block seem a bit off.

Thanks. I don't know how to get the colors exact, because even if I use the eyedrop, the photo has hundreds of different shades of purple, none of which are exactly right. The problem's compounded in that one, because of the sunlight hitting it.

I can make one by running a DOS program on my bot files folder, and then sifting through to get rid of the ones that aren't replicas. I keep a mental list of the ones I haven't done; there are some boring bots from Series 1 and 2 that I could do easily but have never been motivated enough to undertake.

Maybe a bit more blue, and a bit less saturation might help. What might also help is adding hexplates on the edges with the same colour as the chassis to make those wheelguard parts.

Bone, got rejected from Series 4. I think its problem was too much body and not enough weapon.

Love it - I've always wanted to see videos and/or more pictures of it, after seeing this it's tempting to build one, I must say.

Boudicca. The horse heads are made from kevlar sheets, I have to have 2 per side because the graphics turn "backwards" on the reverse side. If anyone knows how to clean them up at all, that'd be great. Also, I don' know how to make them collision-less.

Knuckles. Working with a really tiny picture on this one, some crafty BFE'ing made the drill possible

OK, the drill is pretty cool.

Will Retribution be part of this competition?

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #4235 on:** October 04, 2012, 06:48:04 PM »

It'll be a tricky one to make. I only have the one photo, and it has the sharp-edge guard on so I can't see the teeth

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #4236 on:** October 07, 2012, 11:05:25 PM »

Fatal Traction. I couldn't figure out what component to use for the bunny or the disc teeth.

Awesomeness. I wonder if it'll fight Sonic as part of a bonus match?
