Title: DSL fail
Post by: smashysmashy on September 02, 2011, 05:31:33 PM
Playing with my bot in the robot lab. Made a bot with fast drive, and weak armour. Driving around in the test area I accidently (epic driving skills FTW) drove into the corner of one of the metal cupboards, inflicting damage and a nasty dent. Felt bored, so backed up and kept ramming the cupboard until the bot was destroyed. 'This match is done!' followed and the scoreboard came up, with just my bot. I pressed O.K. and the game crashed.  :gawe:

Anyone else had this sort of experience?

I have. It's just one of the game's many quirks. Nothing to worry about too much.

Destroying your robot in the test garage was one of the many things that was overlooked in the production of this game.. 

In theory a python script be added to prevent KO to my knowledge but then again.. how many people destroy there robots?

...and you fail at doing tournaments, ai-ing, building half decent bots, getting friends etc.

Also, built an UNSTABLE AND TOP HEAVY bot. I was pretending to showboat after lug got flipped. I swerved close to the pit, lost balance, and fell straight into the pit. Killing myself (virtually) is fun, ill have you know...
