A mod should move this to General Discussion.

My first bot has long since been deleted. If memory serves right, it was a vertical spinner. I don't recall its initial design (other than it was terrible), but it eventually looked about like a big green Backlash.

My first replica was Vlad the Impaler. The only image I have is quite dated, but it still looks alright. Here it is:

My first robot was Balls of Steel:

(the top one)

Balls of Steel is being rebuilt in my final AI pack as "Balls of Steel Revolution". It has the same set of spinners as a weapon but also features this crazy looking train-plow assortment of spikes to feed people into the spinners.

My "true" first robot was a test bot I made to figure out how RA2 worked. I named it "CrapBot 2000" and it was basically a weaponless yellow circle with 1 front panel painted red and 1 rear painted green and a blue top. The driving was wired incorrectly, it was a mess. :P Just for testing though, and that was before I learned how to take pics.

CB2K is also being reincarnated in that pack as "CrapBot: The Reckoning". It has "the same" paint job and design, except its weapon is an overhead spinning mass with Spike Strips.

edit: Here it is, I guess when I tacked a weapon onto it I had figured out screenshots. I also forgot what I originally painted it I guess.

There is already a thread like this. I don't remember who made it, but it died a while ago.

I can`t remember my first bot. the only thing I still know is that it couldn`t drive.

ashman12 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 24, 2010, 10:30:49 AM »

i cant remember what my first stock bot was.

my first DSL bot that wasnt a replica is on the first page of my showcase i think.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #13 on:** January 24, 2010, 11:54:32 AM »

My first bot was a Ginsu rep that had Redbird drive and wasnt invertible. In DSL, it was a HW shell spinner which I know many of you have fought.

G.K. · « **Reply #14 on:** January 24, 2010, 12:56:43 PM »

I still have mine. It is called Purple Death. It had car Steering and a flipper at the back.

Wasnt there a Crap Bot 4000 in one of the v1.0 teams?

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 24, 2010, 01:34:24 PM »

yes there was, and it was a rammer, so I don't know about the realtion.....

in less he does what some Antweight builders do: first design sucked, I'm gonna completley rebuild it and keep the name.

Doomkiller · « **Reply #17 on:** January 24, 2010, 11:42:00 PM »

There was a "Crap Bot 4K" in one of the RFS AI packs. I borrowed the name but not the design because at the time I didn't have any plans to actually use the terrible CrapBot design in the pack, but of course... I didn't really see that far into the future for me to include it later. Another one of the AI teams (Pressure I think) is running around with a very bizarre version of Thumperizer that has a srimech and some crazy spinning discs that don't really work very well.
