Ive noticed lots of bots in SC, PYS, and restocked use the arrow keys to control the bot and space for the weapon. I find this weird because personally, I use WASD and Q for weapons. If I need a scrimech or reverse weapons I use E.

Oh and if your wondering how i put my hands, I put my right pointer finger on W and my right middle finger on D. On my left hand i have my pointer finger on A and middle on Q. If i need to back up i just move from W to S.

What do you guys use?

I am very left handed so I generally set up most Starcore AI pack bots to drive with WASD and Weapon is Space.

I then set up inverted controls on Arrow Keys.

When I first get the bots from guests that are entering their bots they are often set to Arrow Keys.

I use WASD, but only because my down arrow key is broken, and I lose without being able to backup. I am also left handed, so it works.

I use a PS2 controller. Left analog stick steers, L1 activates weapons, right analog stick controls throttle use.

Sometimes arrow keys and space too.

I use WASD. If i use the arrow keys, i have to move my mouse across the table.

Same here.

And I don't understand how Click controls Drumblebee 2. :SS

I just use WASD, Weapon is Space and X is Sremech... if inverted I just drive backwards using WASD

lately I have been trying my PS2 computer controller but not a huge fan of it for this particular game

After playing doom for quite a while, I got used to using the wasd keys for movement....

how does that work?

Anyway, I use the arrows and the space bar. If there's two controls,
i will use ether z and x or control and left shift.

Additionally, I have a Logitech Attack 3 joystick i could make use of, but haven't.

The arrow keys, mainly because I'm right handed.

Madiaba · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:07:19 PM »

Arrows and Space, usually. (Depends what else needs to be controlled.)

Sage · « **Reply #11 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:08:34 PM »

Arrow keys and X. yea, im odd.

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:21:49 PM »

has anyone tried what i do?

i find it like 100X more comfortable.

Resetti's Replicas · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:30:08 PM »

I use the arrow keys and spacebar; Z and X if my bot has multiple weapons.

I'm just not coordinated enough to have one hand doing both the weapons and the drive.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:45:53 PM »

I have had a complicated weapon system robot in which myself and my cousin teamed up to control it :P one person for weapons and one for drive

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2009, 11:46:51 PM »

Perasonally, I prefer ↑ ↓ ← → and either Enter or Space for my weapons.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2009, 12:44:32 AM »

I use awsd for drive, q for hybrid spinners, space for any weapon

kill343gs · « **Reply #17 on:** August 23, 2009, 12:56:32 AM »

Arrow keys and space, B or V for a srimech. I'm most likely changing that soon, I've played so much halo at this point that I'm more comfortable with WASD.

The Ounce · « **Reply #18 on:** August 23, 2009, 01:02:29 AM »

Arrow keys, D for weapon, S for srimech, E for secondary weapon (rarely used). ( I'm weird, I know)

life robot arena2 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2009, 03:09:12 AM »

I use the Arrow keys and the space bar.
