the tech demo was before ra2, it was just a sample of the game, there where 3 bots in an arena and you could drive around, but the botrs never appered in the game, but some of the parts did. but sadly it only worked for like 3 people

Yea, the component I remember was the Yellow Buzzard wheel. That's about it.

Hey, welcome back DinoV.

Yes, ScootOrDie is actually one of the tougher bots around because it's so pushy and nearly impossible to flip. It uses your original chassis and pneumatic rams, but everything else had to be adjusted a bit to make room for all that extra stuff. Same basic design though; it seems to be pretty effective.

Looks awesome. Just one thing...That chassis was pretty damn tight...I had 4 fast T64s in there, there was barley enough room for batteries...how'd you fit all those apendiges on the ends and corners and stuff?

I've posted much later than this before. In any case, sneak peeks are going to be later for a while now since I'm back in college (can't post as soon as I get up anymore).

DinoV: All I really had to make room for was some baseplate anchors and axle mounts. I did that by rearranging the number and type of batteries in there.

And here is the other half of the Robot Arena Reincarnated team, including updated versions of Aquarius, Pontoon (gasp!), and Triclops, which are shown next to their DSL versions.

Aquarius 2: Slightly altered from its original design, Aquarius's triple spears now slant downward so they are protected from spinners when retracted and are capable of hitting the tops of bots. Its wedge shape combined with good speed also allows it to get under some bots, where its weapons will rip long, ugly gouges in your bottom armor. Heavy armor rounds out this well-balanced opponent.

Pon2n: A hovering AI bot!? That's right! Pon2n will provide a unique fighting challenge, as it will never touch the ground. Instead, it prefers to hover over your bot and let its heavy hammer heads swing down, where they can crush your bot from any angle. In addition, Pon2n runs a very large propellor blade in the rear that will make short work of any bots unfortunate enough to get caught in it. This opponent is vulnerable to hammers and vertical spinners, but any other weapon design won't even be able to touch it.

Triclops v2.0: A nearly invincible juggernaut armed with an unbelievably massive hammer and a fearsome row of teeth, Triclops is designed to combat those sneaky wedges and vertical spinners that get under you. Triclops just crawls right over them with its treads, absorbs any damage with thick bottom armor, then brings down 90 kgs of pain on top of its opponent. It is also effective at taking the shell right off of shell spinners. Its only weaknesses are a slow top speed and difficulty self-righting.
