Second RA2 official tournament.
What's the "one-hit-kill" glitch??
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! =(
Much like technex ( who was the biggest cheater I've ever encountered) flipping 'glitch', I believe the component .txt files were edited.

I'm on a roll!!
Technex: - Dont get after me for posteing Tech's bots. I know many of you older guys thought he was a jerk but don't get on my back.

Wow...redline even when your starting playing your better at building pop-ups then me (my first is UB) *sadface*
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.
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.

In short, a lot of components get fixed, RA1 bots are rebuilt, and some awesome UI added.

*a bunch of awesome bots*Ahh i remember those. Intellect Devourer is still my favorite bot of yours.

I will argue with anybody about anything!You don't argue much anymore... unless it is about politics. :D
no, I mean there has been serious lack of creativity with bot building lately, All we see are pokers, rammers, popups, HS, and VS, when practically every bot was creative. And realistic. And cool to look at.

How did he BFE to make a multi bot?
Quote from: roboman2444;63671i 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.
Hmm, maybe we could get Rolo to restart the AI pack?

I remember when M.ty first showed up. Looking back on it, HE WAS EXACTLY LIKE SPARKEY WAS AT THE BEGINNING. We flamed the heck outta him for entering Wheely Big Cheese in the TTC because it flipped down, launching the chassis up in the air like its IRL counterpart and it was huge. He and Botreactor did win a couple of matches though... Botreactor was a pretty good builder back in the day.
Oh look Jd

Well, you get the point, Ra2 is an ever expanding platform.
And Oggie was full of potential too, if anyone remembers him.
Although we are sad about so many great builders leaving, you cannot say that it was unexpected. You cant expect someone to stay interested with a game for too many years. Whether or not you think that RA2 is dying, the forums are growing. For a forum this small, it is amazing how active it is. This forum will never die. When great builders leave, more rise up to take their place in our history. Something special about these forums is that we remember so well things that are important in our history, and people who were great. Instead of worrying about the builders who left, worry about your robots and how you can enter them and yourselves in the ranks of those who we talk about and miss so much.
tl;dr: Do not worry about those who left, just remember their history, and work to add your own page to it, for your own achievements.
and we might even have the technology to have a bot with a certain component work in a game without said component.
Really way too much history and members went down with that forum...
Come to think of it, Scrap, JD and I all arrived at around the same time (I think).
Come to think of it, Scrap, JD and I all arrived at around the same time (I think).
Yeah we did. I think you were kicking around for a month or so earlier than Scrap and I. I don't recall any of your noob bots though.
Wow, I remember Tankorperated and Shower Dough. I guess, if anything, we should have had a running list of contact emails in case the boards were permanently Borked!
You know what though, now that some of the newer members are starting to mature up and whatnot, we got a pretty good clan going nowadays.

Heh, Frezal. Here is your intro on that site:
"Hello! I've been a member of the Robot Arena forums since August 2002, the Aceuplink forums since September 2002, and the Electric PLayground forums since December 2002. I am the administrator of my site(http://www.phalangesrule.cjb.net (http://www.phalangesrule.cjb.net) ).
My RA2 team is Team Predator. On my website i have bot downloads. Of course they aren't my best bots, but they are still good.
I can't play RA2 online due to a 56k modem."

I've definately seen "inside the clock" before, is it one of click's bots perhaps?It's Inf's. A reskinned version is in II-AI under the name Infra.
Are those early Antweights I see? Quite interesting to see how far building has progressed in the last five or so years :beer:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76061antweight%20Splash.jpg)
But what was disco fevah supposed to do?I think it would use the Z-tek spinner to flip around the floor and attack foes as they approached. Like a crawler, almost.

Stock in the RA2 world means it came in you botlab as a standard part, the AI parts did not, therefore they are not stock, you can class them as 'stock AI' but not 'standard stock'.
maces, if I remember, don't make good spinner weapons
Hmm, brings me back to 2002:
- Raw HTML was allowed in the forum signatures
- Towerboy (I still remember how he got his name :3 )
- scimanal (SCIence is his favorite subject, hes the MAN, and ALex is his name :D )
- Was there ever wood armor?
- Invisible skin for our bots!
Aww, I registered just to nostalgia. It was nice.
Yeah, there are invisible bots in BBEANS DSL AI (Hidden easter eggs)
Does anyone remember skinning whole new arenas? Just change some texture files around and you got yourself a new map! Haha.
you can do that in ra2 as well...
T-2 (I think) is like that too.Yeah, there are invisible bots in BBEANS DSL AI (Hidden easter eggs)

How did he build a donut chassis?
Does FireBeetle still play RA2?
No, actually that was done with the Trov glitch. Not sure exactly how though.I posted a quick diagram in my showcase that showed which 4 points must be trov'd to get a doughnut chassis.
Where can I find info on this "Trov Glitch"? I searched but I found nothing but that it has been invented by Trovaner.
You made a topic in stock showcase, way back when I was lurking. Check there.
No I recall you posting here with a different name. It might have been under Razer or not, but you/the person said he was Razer.It was called Firestorm.
Does FireBeetle still play RA2?
Not really, but I've always badgered him into building something whenever I host a tournament and I'm badgering him to make something for Ironbot now. ;)
I have all of those, and anyone who knows where to find them can.I only put them on here for people who are too lazy to download his bot pack. :p

Useful?
The first rule is no longer relevant since Pys and MV aren't even around anymore. Do you even know who "MV" is referring to? I doubt it... well if you ignore the Pys and MV part this rule is still relevant.
The second rule is common sense. Anyone without common sense wouldn't last a day here.
The third rule is something that is learned the first day, assuming they weren't eaten alive yet.

Found a collection of Click's bots from the official forum-early days of GTM, both stock and DSL:Nice. Although you should probably link to the start of the album:

Actually now that Team 9 mentions it, that is a very accurate description of what browsing the old forum archives is like.
You can see the general structure and some of the more popular threads, even a few rare artifacts (pictures), but most of the details are obliterated. Most of the people on those old forums are no longer around, too, which makes it feel even more like a ghost town.

This exactly. Even browsing old GTM threads makes me long for the days 4 years ago.
You don't see robots like "Outa there" very often. Very cool concept I must admit.
I remember seeing that on youtube forever ago! Do you remember who built who?
I miss the days before we converted to the new software.rip all the spongebob/pikachu avatars.
Anyone have the RAR or Zip file for Madbia's old bot A.T.O.M?
The link to the download dissapeared when the wizfourms went down.
And that bot was truly a masterpiece.

I think I joined 3 or 4 years ago and I recall guys like Whammitnutt, Icethefrostycat and others. Heck look in both my DSL (First few pages) and Stock showcases (First page only), you can see some posts by some veterans who aren't here anymore. Still it's a d**n shame the Wayback Machine didn't chronicle the entire wizfourms.
I had kind of an IRL style before I found the forums.

You did for a spell afterwards too. I have a quote of you in your showcase saying you preferred to keep your bots realistic, which is why you didnt build HS
OK guys, I said I would do it, and there seemed to be considerable interest, so here it is:
Download ALL the bots! (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/BBbots.rar)
^ That's my entire stock Robot Designs folder, minus any bots that weren't built by me or FB and any bots with custom parts. The bots date back to 2003 when we first got the game, up to now. At least half of them were never showcased so there's plenty of old content to poke through.
The .bot files all conveniently start with "CB_" or "FB_" depending on who built it, so they don't get mixed up with your own bots. Except for Lots OOOOOOOO wheels which was built by FB's friend.
...Looking back, I kinda miss building bots like Evil Weevil V and Gigawhirl II and Double Edge. I had kind of an IRL style before I found the forums.

The second bot is Mike's.Yes i know that, ian told us that.
looks very flashy. does anyone know what day/month/year the old forums were layed to rest?idk but i think it's around October-November 2007.
huh.looks very flashy. does anyone know what day/month/year the old forums were layed to rest?idk but i think it's around October-November 2007.
and the biggest loss of all, Psycolone(-chan) and Rejected(-sama).huh.looks very flashy. does anyone know what day/month/year the old forums were layed to rest?idk but i think it's around October-November 2007.
well one thing does sadden me is the fact that a lot of excellent builders just gave up on RA2 when it was moved here.
C2, jim, technex, all those. gone, probably forever.
but why did it pack up in the first place. there was no need for it. and the fact that those fools are taking the source code to their graves, then no more patches or new games either.and the biggest loss of all, Psycolone and Rejected.huh.looks very flashy. does anyone know what day/month/year the old forums were layed to rest?idk but i think it's around October-November 2007.

The Mystery Machine is on the Bot Exchange you know...I didn't know that.

I should really finish working on mine...

Are the videos still on youtube ?I think Ian deleted them back when he deleted all the RA2 stuff that he had done because he was pissed/annoyed at people.
You missed a lot of good stuff, i can attest to that

yeah it would have been cool to been around before stuff like snapper loading had been discovered or when people were still doing online tournaments.
watching these fights makes me think that someone should make a tourney where people would have to build with the same techniques available as back in the day, maybe even using click s'Sportsman ruleset he got the idea of a while ago
hello friends i have taken it upon myself to take the ****ton of stuff that venko gave mr. as back in 2013, sift through it for stuff thats been deleted since then (due to photobucket/imageshack/upurs/whatever dying) and re-uploading it on imgur, mainly for archival purposes. hope yall enjoy.

I was searching for that ages ago. You don't happen to have the old videos, do you?
And does anybody know who Pivanov and Omen were?

apparently jim had another glitch that was more powerful than the rupt glitch. probably bs since dudes liked to txt file edit back in the day (ex: jex air 3), but it would have been atleast cool if i could find the bot or something... anybody that were around back in 2005 remember what it looked like?

Just passing through for nostalgia and reading a few old posts. I’ve just read that some people think that Jex Air 3 used .txt file editing, I can assure you it did not. Jex Air 3 was my signature bot and one I was very proud of. It’s available to download and use for yourself, you can even see how it was built. I never used AMM or .txt file editing, all my bots were made legit. They are available to download so you can see for yourself.
