Now I know most of you folks are all elite now and hardly play stock, but do you remember EMERGENCY?
That bot nearly put me in a straitjacket, as it was like a magnet stuck to yo uand just repeatedly tossed you across the arena. I eventually built a bot for the sole purpose of beating the sh!t out of it. It was just a big purple square, with 6 wheel drive and not one, but TWO spiked-club hammers driven by burst motors, and it had a formidable array of spikes across the front. I christened it, "Tough Proposition". I would have made it even larger but I reached the games weight limit. I managed to get that blasted EMERGENCY in it's side and drove it into a wall, and then proceeded to beat the daylights out of it. It got away, and came at me with those dreaded flippers but, by a stroke of luck, I managed to drive into it head-on and trapped it's flippers in the upwards position. Then I let my hammers loose again and gleefully watched as I smashed it's flippers off. I was so happy that it was quite frightening and almost disturbing.
-
I beat it with a spiked flipper thing.
It beat me once because I accidently made that thing a HW with top armour that stopped it being invertible and it flipped me over.
So I made the wheels bigger and beat in exhibition.
-
First time i won against EMERGENCY you said ?
Oh, probably by points despite being manhandled the whole match. Because despite not knowing what a wedge was at the time, I had moar weapons.
-
I first defeated it with a bot that used 4 battle axes on DDTs all of them overhead hitting, the sidemost ones were tunred inwards alittle so they all hit around the same area, creatively named Woodcutter from heck, all in caps ofcourse and the lava paintjob.
-
I defeated it with an invertible poker. I forget that bot's name...
-
It was probably a VS or HS. I was happy. etc.
-
I think I first defeated EMERGENCY with my second ever bot, Kraze. Turns out I discovered the Chicken glitch by accident, I had two HP Z-Tek "drills" on the front and back, and 4 HP Z-Teks for drive as well, so it was fast as heck, and I just drove around the side and drilled his wheels until they fell off.

I did (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23308screenshot_17.jpg) and was all like (http://images.zaazu.com/img/happy-roll-happy-animation-animated-smiley-emoticon-000359-large.gif)

Pretty much the same for me; in my case it was an incredibly unstable spinner that I had tried to base off Tornado (the stock AI middleweight) All the weapons came off and I got tossed around, but in the end I scraped by on points.
Also, you should change the topic title to have EMERGENCY in its name. This is an important thread, people should know what it's all about.
-
no idea. i think it was some old rammer i used. it's wheels fell off with some hits. that rammer then had only 2 pole spikes, and i was proud at that thing =P... now i wanna thrash it.
-
I actually first beat it with a middleweight flipper in the Octagon Arena. Drove around its side, turned it on its side, and then pushed it over so that it landed on its back. Once I did that, I pushed it under a hammer, and once it was in the red, pushed it into the opening pit.
T'was back then, my RA2 CMOA, or at least in my opinion. Next to breaking Tornado's hammers for the first time.
-
I remember driving around it with a modded Forkie and flipping it, then pushing it into the wall. I was laughing as to how it was dumb that EMERGENCY had no srimech.
Also I remember not realizing the game had AI until a week after I got the game. :P
-
i got him wit a 4 HP Z-TEC FS that had 4WD.lol ripped off his flippers in less then 10 sec then rammed him till he died.
-
First time I beat EMERGENCY (I think) was with this:

-
I beat Emergency by throwing it out of the RW arena I downloaded for my stock with a very good replica of a flipper bot(don't remeber who it was). After that I shot Revenge, Big Dog and Sentinel also OOTA.
-
I had a set team of 6 bots that I used for the in-game tournaments. Those were the days, cuz there was strategy and everything going into this. There were a couple VSs, Atomic (first showcased bot for me), and a couple HS.
-
I never had any trouble beating EMERGENCY... it was annoying and it dominated the match, but I never had any trouble winning. Is that unusual?
Now Tornado, on the other hand... I used to consider a MW bot good if it could "sometimes beat Tornado" :gawe: That was like the standard that I tried to achieve with all my MW's.
-
The other bot I had trouble with was REVENGE.

Dude, how you got that right, I do not know. EMERGENCY drove me up the wall. My first bot was pretty awesome for a beginner, a wedge with a powerful axe. Beat everything relatively easily. But that darn EMERGENCY. . .
Yes Tornado deserves a mention too. Quite a vicious thing. I can only beat it with a wedge flipper. I built something similar to the real-life Cassius from Robot Wars. A wedge with two burst motors firing forwards.

Done.

my first robot was a VS so yeah while emergency through me around the whole match I got the WBP
I second Tornado.. so how it always managed to hit weak points on my nooby robots and take the whole weapon system out in one hit then kept self righting when I was trying to immobilize it
-
Aye, Tornado. Never really got troubled by emergency but I took forever to beat that.
-
Tornado was quite easy for me as I always used that spiked flipper (I feel sad now that I lost that bot actually).
However it took me a lot longer to beat it weapon to weapon and destroy it.
-
I never had trouble with Tornado, I used to just flip it over.
-
This is how I beat Tornado:

-
Cunning :D
I remember beating Tornado a simular way, except I removed the hammers, turned it on its side, and then chucked it into the pit.
-
I beat it with a Stock preprocessor to Havok, called Havoc.
Being a Havok, I flipped it over.
-
Can we just say this topic confirms that EMERGENCY is a meme?
Oh, and Tornado can sometimes annoy me, but thats only like near the end of a tournament-mode, when you have a [weapon X] that requires 402 time of your allowed 20 time in order to repair, and then Tornado is all like: "LOL UR WEPINZ FEL AWF"
.......
Ehh, it happens.
It just means you didn't put enough weapons on your bot.
-

pretty much this... i remember downloading the demo and fighting emergency for the first time with walrus. i won the match off of points even though i spent most of the match getting my ass handed to me.
-
I was actually winning once with my first bot Atomic once (box bot with 4WD and 2 car steering motors, 4 mini wheels, 2 small wedges on the front connected to 2 axle w/e's, and a white paintjob with 4 red stars on each side and an atomic sign on the top), I used the octagon arena and I kept tricking EMERGENCY on the heck-raisers and I managed to get him under the pulverizers a few times...keep in mind I was still a n00b for this next part...it almost flipped me so I turned around and ran off and I ended up driving into a deathpit...
I defeated it for the first time with a replica of Firestorm I DL'ed from the old bot exchange in the RA2T2 arena by flipping it OOTA (and it almost fell back in the arena). That was atleast 2 or 3 weeks after I got the game.
-
I remember beating EMERGENCY with a sit-and-spinner I made up. basically, it was a big box with four HP Z-Teks inside, and four sledgehammers on the corners. It was made invertible, so even if I got flipped over, I could still spin. Tore up the sides and front end of EMERGENCY a lot, got flipped around a lot, but mine was the last bot rolling at the end of the match ....
-
well i remember that i first beat EMERGENCY with a MW angled hs
it basically havoked to self-right.
i knocked all it's wheels off and after that i was like :party
