there was other stuff such as Diacronic's Generator (Finally found out who made that bot), Jimxorb's Hades, Omega's ICED OUT 2 and Rejected's old site. They weren't archived, though.

THE 1 HIT KILL GLITCH BOT!  I've looked all over the wayback archive for pictures of that bot and couldn't find any.


(FYI the original 1HK glitch bot is Sting; the sequel is Devil Incarnation).


No one but Pete Lefeu has been able to do that glitch successfully.  I remember Pete even said he wasn't sure what made it work.

i wonder if u botfile edit you can make 2 chassis on 1 bot.

You can.  The second chassis has to be a crawler though, since magicmobility only applies to the first chassis.  And there were some other slight problems that I don't remember right now.  It's a bit messy but it works.

Can they move independent of each other? Or do they just have an invisible force keeping them together?

Yeah they can move independently.


And it's funny seeing you guys posting all these pictures that are still saved on the computer me and FB used to share... maybe I should re-upload some of those?

That is Bloodwater, one of FB's bots.  Let's see if I can find a picture...


Here's one from when it was called Ye Olde Smitten Castle:



(It was renamed Bloodwater for a team that was going in Rolo's AI pack, along with Pillar of Fire and The Flood.  The team was called Supernatural Disaster.  And obviously Rolo's AI pack was never finished or you would know all this.)

Hmm, maybe we could get Rolo to restart the AI pack?

What have you found about the pack? Hotlink me please!

The pack, back then, was supposed to be somewhat between RFS and Starcore V3 difficulty, because Starcore V3 was considered too hard by many. I had half the bots AI'd and ready when I had to format my HD (prolly because of a virus, can't remember) and I only had the first 6 teams or so backed up, no splashes whatsoever, thus I lost interest in completing

I can't wait to read some stuff Chibi Rolo wrote, can't seem to find anything myself. I did find the 'Beards' thread where my grudge against Spyguy reached its climax in the offtopic section, but it wasn't archived..

EDIT: Oh, yeah, and I shed a virtual tear going through this topic. Basically sums up my childhood.
Calm down folks. I'm never REALLY gone.
