Well.. I found these on my G: drive. Old bots as posted on Technex's Forums, throughout 2006.
 There might be some more.




Maybe a first popup attempt. It sucks.



Definitely one of my first VS. It sucks.



B-TEEESSST

My entry sucks.

I have the blank template for my entries' use, too.

Aha, yeah. Don't remember if  the 20cm extenders were used then like they are now. I certainly didn't, anyway.

Oh-ho no, that's not when I started playing. Was around for a year before then... atleast.

Signed up here for BBEANS 2, the official forums were still around and all.

Look what I found saved on my computer!

A splash of a bunch of RoBoTiX/toAst's bots.



Just wish there was a little more detail on some of them.

Shovelnose Definetly is the BW ghoul, and by that assumption, Tartar, sh** on a shingle and Shizz are probable AW/BW bots.

Edit: I was right!
Quote
And before saying "You stole Shovelnose/Whatever/Blue Streak from Starcores AI Pack! You are a horrible person and shoud die!" I didn't steal them, I submitted them to Starcore to be tested for his AI pack and they passed, so they were reskinned and re-named and put in the pack. Most people here should know that already though.

On Vertigo's bots... I think Blue Streak is SC's BW-Wolf in Sheep's Clothing.

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.

I hated that guy. I can't believe I co-administrated his damn forum for a few months. Whatever happened to Chex Mix/COLONMAN anyways?

Found an old picture of a rebuilt Digital Apocalypse

THE FIRST VERTICAL SPINNER IN RA2 BECAUSE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH THE GAME DOESN'T COUNT. DUR DUR.

Look what I found saved on my computer!

A splash of a bunch of RoBoTiX/toAst\'s bots.

Just wish there was a little more detail on some of them.

I loved that guy. If it weren't for him I wouldn't have spent so much time on RFSHQ. Maybe that's a bad thing in hindsight.

Also like, none of these robots ring a bell for me.  Guess I wasn't around very long, I remember dropping out of the community in 2004 when I opened RFSHQ and then from there I just did my own thing and left altogether.
The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
