Title: The 42 Championship
Post by: G.K. on December 07, 2010, 01:24:31 PM
I'm sure you all know about Wild Robots. I'm starting a slightly similar series that I'm getting started, mostly to try to attract people to DSL. I'm using 16 DSL LW's.

The promo can be seen here, while further videos can be found on my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/GKofGTM):



I'd like to be able to have 16 further LW designs for the second series. If anyone can build me a design that's not been in already, I'd appreciate it.

Bots I'm interested/hope to be in recieving:

I will likely make many of these bots, and this is a youtube series I'm simply telling you about.

Sounds like a pretty good idea. I could send Crab Salad 2 if you like. =D

Thanks, I was hoping you'd be able to. But not for a while, I've got to do this series first.

Title: Re: The 42 Championship
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on December 09, 2010, 11:12:56 AM
I have my LW Chocolate clone I made which doesn't used ^BFE chassis^
Title: Re: The 42 Championship

great work man. i dont think my drum will have NPCs. they look good but its not effective. it might even end up a top drum.

No more vids till Tuesday, I'd say.

Post by: Clickbeetle on December 11, 2010, 09:06:09 PM
How do you come up with the dimensions, top speed, turning circle, and all that for the bots?


In any case, I highly doubt that Fedex Uno is 40 meters long.
Title: Re: The 42 Championship
Post by: G.K. on December 12, 2010, 03:30:35 AM
The dimensions where only of the chassis, and 10 metres (Which I only realised should have been 40 cm after I did the first few splashes) was equivalent to one box of the gid in RA2 where we make the chassis. Ground Clearence and Turning Circle were made up.

Oh well. XD

DP: Joe, with regard to the new rules, what will be this thing's status?

Please note the intention is not to run a tournament, but to showcase to the outside world the variation in designs that RA2 has to offer.
Title: Re: The 42 Championship
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on January 02, 2011, 09:35:11 AM
It should be fine as bots were gathered before it was announced, not sure about next time.
Title: Re: The 42 Championship
Post by: JoeBlo on January 02, 2011, 09:38:59 AM
I dont even know to be honest...

if people followed rules and didnt bitch like yourself we wouldnt have such a mess

its always going to cause controversy on here because its impossible to satisfy everyone on here

but you can roll with this one for now since you half way into it but we need to sit down and think about the next time you want to run one of these before you start anything new..
Title: Re: The 42 Championship
Post by: G.K. on January 02, 2011, 09:41:03 AM

What? How am I supposed to have 'bitched'? I've not done anything of the sort, just asked a question.

we need to sit down and think about the next time you want to run one of these before you start anything new..

Agreed.
Title: Re: The 42 Championship
Post by: JoeBlo on January 02, 2011, 09:43:57 AM
oops that one fell out of context...  :embarr

"followed rules and didnt bitch like yourself" as in

your the one that follows the rules and doesnt bitch about them... if everyone followed what you do we wouldn't be in such a mess with these things

I apologize, I intended no offense..

Ah, that's just my misunderstanding, sorry.

Maybe if video-less tourneys were allowed in the proper section, the kind of tourneys badnik wanted to host may become popular and legit?
