To get to the beater txt file you need to decompile the COMPONENTS CFZ file not the other one.

Uncfl'd the components cfz file and successfully managed to skin the extenders. I can't find the .txt file in the main components directory so I can change it to add the new styles.

You could save it as a single component and not stick it in styles. (I allways do this with tournament entries because it's easier to make sure you didn't forget a part)

Thats what I ended up doing.
Tada!

My lack of any building skill really shows. :P

wutchoo talkin bout man... it may be worthless in combat (unless the foot pedals are on burst motors so they kick forward?), but that takes skill to place all the components just right so the bot really looks like what you're trying to replicate. That really looks like a piano.

Since you're already using custom skinned components... you should edit the damagesound for the beater bars so it makes a discordant piano crash sound when you hit the keyboard.

Added a few piano sounds into the beater bars, finding a piano slam sound which is suitable for free is harder than you think.
I'm now trying to figure out how to get it to play whenever it moves.

Haha! That is so awesome. Can't wait to see it... uhh... roll around and do stuff.

You mean get trashed within 3 seconds in a cloud of badly edited wav files?
Also I think I got the troll music part sorted.

DP: New robot.
Listening to They Might Be Giants is an unlikely source of inspiration.

This robot also needs NarmourBeGone^TM due to the way the skirt hinges are angled.
Admittedly it's a bit rubbish but I haven't built much for a while. Bar a piano.

MassimoV · « **Reply #72 on:** April 08, 2011, 08:43:46 PM »

Neat. Some insidez?

SKBT · « **Reply #73 on:** April 08, 2011, 09:57:52 PM »

Flip the NPC's the otherway around or flip the wheel guards infront of the motors because right now the 400hp motors are asking to be hit.

Conraaa · « **Reply #74 on:** April 09, 2011, 01:28:22 PM »

Better?

Scorpion · « **Reply #75 on:** April 09, 2011, 04:30:06 PM »

Solid bot.
Just download JB's narmour removing patch he posteed not that long ago.

Conraaa · « **Reply #76 on:** April 09, 2011, 04:31:19 PM »

Thanks.
And I already have. Tried it with and without, hence the Narmour be gone warning earlier.

NFX · « **Reply #77 on:** April 09, 2011, 04:33:36 PM »

I don't think the wheelguards are necessary, personally. The opponents have still got to get past the hammers to get to them. If you flip the NPC's around, and pull the hammers back towards the chassis, you can make the machine much more compact, and maybe upgrade its armour if necessary.

Conraaa · « **Reply #78 on:** April 09, 2011, 04:52:54 PM »

TBH this bot was really built around it's name. Hence it's I shape.
I could make it more compact and possible better, but then it'd be more "i palindrome i"
Edit: Tried to make a smaller version. It AGOD'd. Duck that ship I cba now.

Possibly for my challenge with MNB.
I've lost already, I can tell.
Funfact: it started life as a inertia bw popup.
