Ive been working with a friend to get a bot exchange up ever since i saw this thread. As far as i can tell there is no current exchange right?

The one im working on dosent have any fancy features like being able to detect weight class and such automatically

Places of note:
Second RA2 official tournament.

Nooooo... now everyone can see how much of a noob I was when I first joined.

Actually I don't mind.  It's a reason to give noobs second chances.  You never know who they might become.

Quote from: Reier;47771
What's the "one-hit-kill" glitch??

It was a glitch invented by a guy named Artitan / Pete Lefeu.  Basically you have a popup, and it one hit kills stuff.  The weapons got stuck inside the chassis of the other bot, causing billions upon billions of damage (I'm not exaggerating... I think the record was 100 billion damage or something).  He deemed the glitch too powerful, and never correctly told anyone how he did it.  (He did post instructions on Technex's forums, but they turned out to be faulty because Pete Lefeu wasn't sure himself how he did it.)

You might be able to find his showcase somewhere on the Wayback machine, and see the original one hit kill bot.  Not sure.  It was called Sting, and the sequel was called Devil Incarnation.

Stdp.

CB/FB! (Mainly FB):

(bot pics)

You would not believe how long it took me to do that. =P I skipped some we've already seen, IE Drumblebee Larva, etc.
FB come back! =(

I've told him he should drop by again sometime, but he's always like "meh, yeah, I know..."  I'll ask him again anyway.  Maybe eventually I'll get through.

I've caught him lurking on the forums on occasion, so there's hope :mrgreen:

If he wins BBEANS or something (a very real possibility at this point) I'll insist on it.  'Twould be a shame to win BBEANS without ever even posting in the thread... like the championship just disappears into a void...

This is great stuff, Reier, S32.  This is amazing.  I'll be looking through this for a couple of days.

I remember all of those.

The one hit kill glitch was a fluke, I believe, because many times over petelefeu could not duplicate it's results. Much like technex ( who was the biggest cheater I've ever encountered) flipping 'glitch', I believe the component .txt files were edited.
