Duuuuuuude! That is awsome... I may get back into RA2 more... I started to hate it because my grandpa's computer got messed up and had to be fixed... I lost every thing! I love the treads but no offence they need a better skin. When you said RA1 ramakes I thought cool! custom chassis and all! Then I saw the pics and saw stock chassis's... oh well they are pretty darn good though. but are you going to fix the robot wars arena... everthing is backwards. All it needs is to be flipped and could you put the player 1 and 2 start slots in the arena not in the CPZ? well that is all for now see ya! (I don't want to hear a darn thing about my typing unless you say I am getting better or whaterver...)

MikeNCR should recognize this week's preview.

Since there are so few members of the RA2 community with real bots, and even fewer with bots heavier than a beetleweight, I thought MikeNCR's lightweight Ruiner just had to be included in DSL 2.0's replicas. The RA2 version of Ruiner is a pretty fearsome opponent with its low, angled down blade. It's a bit taller than the real bot because of RA2's chassis limitations, but otherwise stays accurate even down to the insides.

A picture of the real bot is in the "weapon heads" thread in DSL 2.0 ideas.

Ahh you took my sugjestion. That was rather quick.

MikeNCR · « **Reply #386 on:** May 26, 2006, 08:29:24 PM »

That is so damn sexy. :shock:

Can't wait to try it out.

really good replica here :shock:

Making Stingray a replica would be awesome!

found a better pic of BOB(at least I'm pretty sure it's bob)

Man, Mike's bot is pretty awesome. Definitely got to check out the link for when he's slashing the cantaloupe and the watermelon - WOOHOO!

And congrats on getting into the famed DSL listing, dude!

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #391 on:** June 01, 2006, 09:05:03 PM »

Yep that's Bob, although it's an older version of it. The newest version is lower and doesn't have the lifting arm.

@ewan - your timing is impeccable. I need to make one more replica to round out a 6-bot team. Now which one to do...

MikeNCR · « **Reply #392 on:** June 01, 2006, 10:04:26 PM »

in RA2 world, I think vertigo would be the more effective opponent, though if stingray is treated more as a rammer then a spinner, it could work well.

It's a little late, but here is a nice view of the new bot lab graphics.

The buttons at the top have been rearranged into a more logical order. You start at the left with chassis designing, and end at the right with naming your bot and taking a preview picture.

And as an extra bonus, you get to see a snippet of the new battery/motor electricity system. All the batteries can put out a certain amount of amps (which it says in the description) and all the motors draw a certain amount of amps (also in the description). Just make sure battery output = motor input and you won't need to worry about using too many or too few batteries. It's that simple! No more guesswork with wasting weight on unneeded batteries or running out of juice in the middle of a match.

this is like............a whole new game, i want it so bad, i'm downloading it first day it comes out......hopefully

Hmm, are those some antweight parts in the Power menu?

Edit: Profile settings?

deadkenndys1105 · « **Reply #397 on:** June 03, 2006, 10:07:39 PM »

I would change the name of the tab. Its were you name your bot.

Mr. Weedy · « **Reply #398 on:** June 04, 2006, 08:37:50 AM »

But you need to name your robot AND take a picture out of it. So I think profile settings tab's name is enough good, no need to change it.

That's what the Overall was... where you take snapshot of your bot, set facing, and Name.

I moved that button to the other side so you can go in a flow as you build a bot from left to right.
