its a nooby robot (obviously)

Everytime I read comments like this on this thread I die a little inside.

It's like saying that the Incas, Celts, Romans and Vikings are retarded because they didn't have cars and pistols.

Managed to find my way into the first DSL showcase on Aceuplink. As far as I can tell this is both my first showcased DSL bot anywhere, but the first showcased DSL bot on AU:

EDIT:
Also found Firebeetle's old showcase from 2004:

Already been posted.

But I just noticed that Firebeetle mentions Seism 12 in his first post in that showcase. Kinda weird how close that is to Seism 13, and here FB's talking about it when AI tournaments haven't even been conceived of yet... The Seism bots have been around for a long time.

Also an interesting quote from Jimxorb showing how much things have changed in stock RA2:

Quote from: Jimxorb

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'.

^ Yeah, I found that funny too. I'm pretty sure that if ye olde vets saw what we were doing today, they'd be screaming BFE with flamethrowers cranked to max.

I found my old showcase! Good times.

My first showcased bot! The thought it was awesome because It could beat Coal Miner and Emergency every time.

I'm sad that it only has the inside shots of my -Chick bots for some reason.

G.K. · « **Reply #450 on:** February 16, 2011, 10:27:36 AM »

The outside ones are in this thread, somewhere.

Also, AHAHAHAHAHA:

You had to tell me that. I just went page by page to find them. They were on page 15 along with a lot of may other old bots. Oh, the nostalgia! This kinda makes me want to build again.

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.

Stagfish · « **Reply #453 on:** February 27, 2011, 05:15:46 AM »

Wait, you could make bots transparent?

Oh, sorry for the lack of clarification on the invisible bots thing. This was in RA1, and was done by replacing your bot's texture with a file that said "clear" or something like that. Not exactly sure of the details, but I know that it could be applied to any weapon at all.

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #457 on:** February 27, 2011, 01:35:27 PM »

Yeah, there are invisible bots in BBEANS DSL AI (Hidden easter eggs)
