More total noob questions by TRB!
« on: October 23, 2015, 06:47:19 AM »
So, I have seen posts mentioning something called "multibots", which just makes me think there is more than one chassis for a bot, which, as far as I can tell, is impossible. Will anyone help me on what a multibot is, and possibly direct me to a tutorial?

Once, again, sorry for being a total feckin noob.

Clusterbot. Two smaller robots.

Each half gets its own starting point.

it's two different, lighter than usual robots entered into a tournament. the combined weight of both has to be in the allowed weighclass.

say a HW multibot is pretty much two middleweights.

no, you can't practically make two bots within the same chassis/bot file.

Why do I think that'd be ridiculously cool but insanely difficult to drive? Might make one at some point. Watch my ironforge.

Because it is insanely difficult to drive. Ridiculously cool, well it is cool but not ridiculously.

Tournaments are AI these days...

to elaborate on what naryar said, it is possible to make a bot with two chassises using BFE, but only one of them can use a regular drive motor. the other one has to use servos for drive.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there is a robot made by either Click or Firebeetle that has a bunch of little bots within a single bot file. I have a bunch of their robots in a robot designs folder on a copy of RA2 on my laptop. I forget where I got them from, tho.
