OK guys, I said I would do it, and there seemed to be considerable interest, so here it is:

Download ALL the bots!

^ 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.

Uhh, do any of these bots use custom components? Bumblebee (wedge thing) accidentally my game.

I took out all the bots I know have custom components. Bumblebee should be stock, unless it was modified with custom parts at some later time. I'll have to check once I get access to RA2 again.

In case you were wondering, Bumblebee is a harmless-looking wedge with hidden weapons (a popup spike and a flamethrower) that FB made before either of us had ever seen a popup. It's sort of like a proto-popup.

Oh that's probably because Longbow has one of Mad's smart zones. It's one of the 'beam' smart zones that weren't included in an earlier release, so if you do already have Mad's smart zones you need to redownload the newer version. I forgot that might be an issue... but do I really want to go through and remove smart zones from all my bots? No. Easier if you just download Mad's zones.

There might be other bots with Mad's smart zones too.

Yeah, I got Bumblebee to work after a few tries, I guess RA2 just felt like acting like.....RA2.

I love the 3rd bot. :)

Badnik96 · « **Reply #675 on:** September 15, 2012, 04:09:19 PM »

IIRC from the old BattleBots forum Mike was making an IRL LW drum named Peligro for Season 6.0, maybe he can back me up on this.

@Sparkey all of that is in Ian's download.
