Title: The most iconic robot of RA2
Post by: Urjak on January 19, 2010, 12:59:54 PM: I know this is rather odd, but what do you guys think is the most iconic robot of RA2? It could be any type of robot. Basically its the robot you think of when you think of RA2.

Post by: G.K. on January 19, 2010, 01:02:38 PM: I think of TrippeR, my stock HW popup when I think of RA2. i have no idea about iconic bots though. I joined the community too recently.

Post by: cephalopod on January 19, 2010, 01:35:16 PM: I dunno about iconic, but when I think of RA2, I think of Shinigami (cos you all know it's my favourite thing ever :P) and probably EMERGENCY, just because it's EMERGENCY.

Well, back on topic, when I think of RA2 I think of a box chassis and a HPz in one of the corners. Just the image burned into my mind. As for an actual bot, I see Scv3 Maelstrom as the representative of the game.

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on January 19, 2010, 09:02:43 PM: EMERGENCY.

Why? It's because it was THAT bot. The bot when you first opened up the game and fought your first tourney (who actually does those anymore?) kicked your ass six ways to Sunday. Weeks later, you could take out all the other bots with MW's, but the big E still mopped the floor with your best heavies. Admit it, you had a nightmare about it once, too.

The last email address I remember him having was dastompa@hotmail.com (dastompa@aol.com). It's likely long gone though.

BTW I downloaded RFS AI V1.0 and I loled at half the bots I love LAN mower and Ultra bong

I implore you to download and upgrade to V1.2 and then V1.5! It doesn't override any bots it just builds upon existing code to stretch the AI teams to have 6 instead of 3 bots and 30 teams instead of 15 (180 total bots). If you play tournament mode (who still does?) the game will only draw from the first 15 teams and the first 3 bots from those teams, though.

You can see all the bots here: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2040.msg94789.html#msg94789

To be honest I SHOULD compile everything into one download and release it as V1.6 that way nobody has to negotiate the tricky patching. (V1.0 and V1.5 must be extracted to different directories than V1.2 I believe.)

I played it for fun the other night. It's an easy pack, out of the 180 robots about 170 of them are ones you could build in real life (within reason), and that's what the aim of the pack was for. At the time the pack was made nobody really fiddled with AAM or DSL (it didn't exist) or any kind of complex stacking or "cheating" with the physics and Bot Lab. Back then the only "hax" we had was that trick where you put a motor on a burst motor, and then by adjusting the "start" position of the burst motor you could move what was attached to it through other parts. INTENSE!! That was like the Atari 2600. It rocked faces off back then, but people today look at it and go "wow grandpa, real cool *roll eyes*".

If you're savvy on Robot Wars, Robotica, and BattleBots competitors you can have fun trying to pinpoint which designs are "replicas". Just off the top of my head from the AI pack (and looking at that picture) here's the ones I can remember the names of:
- Thwacktar (2nd row, 2nd robot) was a replica of a robot made by ARC moderator FishofDoom
- Powerhouse Two (2nd row, far right) has a weapon modeled after Biohazard
- Monkey Wrench (5th row, 3rd robot) is meant to resemble Mauler
- The Munchies (9th row, 6th robot) is a replica of War Machine and...
- OMG WTF BANNED (10th row, 9th robot) is a better replica of War Machine with 14 wheels.
- Code Red (9th row, 8th robot) has a design similar to 13 Black but the chassis has a different forward heading.
- All Your Bot Are Belong To Us (12th row, 5th robot) is a replica of Son of a Monkey Wrench
- 1K (12th row 7th robot) is a replica of a robot of mine called The Void
- toXic (13th row, 11th robot) is designed, named, and painted after a robot a middle school friend of mine made.
- Bit Rot (bottom row, 5th robot) is based loosely off of Andy Sauro's robot Sledgejammer
- Keep Back 500 Feet (bottom row, 7th robot) is a completely accurate replica of my antweight robot of the same name.

I thought about making a little video featurette "Behind the Scenes" or "The Making Of" for the pack since apparently people STILL play with it. I wouldn't know what to talk about really, and I don't think people would like to hear me ramble about robots for 20 minutes.

After talking to Sparkey I really feel like I should pick up the previously canceled "V1.7" and release it as a big shebangbang that includes all previous versions (no patching required) as well as some more AI teams, and maybe a "Thumperizer 10 Year (-1) Anniversary Commemorative Edition" robot. Boy, the game is gonna have LOTS of fun with that name. :P

I don't really wanna refine or edit the existing robots (since doing so would ruin their paint job and other such things, as would moving stuff around) since I like their 2003 styles. They will either mesh terribly with my 2010 designs or be completely unnoticeable because my building habits haven't changed one bit.
Title: Re: The most iconic robot of RA2
Post by: Sparkey98 on January 22, 2010, 04:32:12 PM: yeah, a Golden Thumperizer would be richous

I tried responding to your PMs but it keeps saying your box is full so it won't let me send it.

I remember back when subsequent versions of the pack were in the works there was a lot of clamoring to feature "third party" robots in the pack, and I realized that if I let one person in to be fair I'd have to let EVERYBODY in... and from there it loses the appeal of being a true installment of the series. I may consider a "community bots" team as part of the inclusion if there's support for it, but again that's only 6 bots (all original stock only) so it would still kinda be exclusive, which I don't really like. The only robots that made it into the pack are the 3 blue and green robots in the "Disturbed Ones" team because the person who made them, disturbed, was someone who helped me mod the game to allow the bigger teams.

Bezerker - Revolutionized our designs for LW Spinners. (Ie. With tri-bars)

Mako - Most copied DSL 'Bot, 'Nuff said.

Clockwork Hydra, Tempus Fugit (And the Spin Doctors) RPB - And when we all thought Emergency was enough of a pain, Then we faced this group of 'bots and threw our computer on the floor.

Post by: NFX on April 05, 2011, 01:10:55 PM: I'm not sure if there's one single iconic bot in Robot Arena 2. So I'm going to come up with three options.

1) EMERGENCY: It's the one everybody seems to know, and almost every rookie's original nightmare.
2) Spinner from the west: The best failbot. Ever. It's become a meme. Who said iconic bots had to be good?
3) Hammer Of Justice: Not legal, but it certainly is the most excessive robot ever made.

Barbershop Chop
I remember that one! I used to play around with it, and at the same time wonder why the blades didn't do anything :approve:

Ah, but are you any better when it comes to issues like that?

Tends to vary, really. Sometimes, I can try to say something intelligent (yet comes out stupid), yet at other times, I try to say something "clever", but it comes out as intelligent, really. I don't know why, but sometimes it happens, you could say.

Spin Bonker.

I used to dominate the stock ai with it, and used it in tons of in-game tourneys. It was for me, the one bot I would use above all else.

Then I think after that would be some nooby LW I made after about a week with RA2. It had 2 spiked club drills powered by redbirds and a tan paint scheme. I called it "Warbot". It could utterly decimate all stock LW's and even some MW's. I remember it had a going rivalry with one of 027's bots, a mini version of Tailwhip. Those were the days...

Post by: Not-Really-Livi on April 10, 2011, 12:00:52 AM: I would definitely have to say that the most iconic stock RA2 robot is Emergency. I can recall the very earliest days of robot building where it was the only bot that could actually defeat my handful of scraps one-on-one.
