Not all bots are shiny and new.

I managed to locate the folder with all my old RA2 installs. Some lovingly named "BROKEN" or "BROKEN COMPONENTS", but about 5 different DSL 2.1 installs, and all filled with bots I thought I lost (I had a small selection of bots on a Mediafire account that contained bots I'd sent to tournaments).

I'm going to try and document them, because a lot of them have never been shown in this showcase, and some even I'd forgotten about until importing them into 2.2. Shout out if you want me to try and update any of them

I am really not sure when I built these, or why. Was there a Pokemon-themed tournament at some point?

Gauntlet, looking like the Dragula gangbanged an iron fence.

Stingray's Revenge. There are NINE other versions of this one bot, which apparently I wanted to min-max completely. More of those soon.

Should have entered this as a house robot. It's the right weight too! Podcast, a middle-child 6 HS UHW, each 'pod' having a disc with 4 hammers beneath.

Cluckin' Hell. Giant robot chicken. Because why not? I genuinely don't know what this was made for, I think Clash of the Titans had passed by this build date (2012), also those two giant HS with dual perms, mounted on hinges. because what could possibly go wrong there?

Yeah, there was a Pokemon themed tournament a while back.

I guess I was super-eager to enter then.

Gauntlet probably needs 4WD to do the things it's supposed to do.

And I regret not remembering to upload my Metagross to the bot exchange before my laptop bricked itself FeelsBadMan

Metagross will be in PokAImon, Pwn, or let me know if you just want me to drop you the bot file :)

Hotbox, IRL, Cruiserweight.

Although who really wants to see IRL CW bots nowadays? Surely they should have died out in 2013, so that the world could have yet another ****ing boring Stock popup bot with a dumb skin.

A slightly different version of this will appear in Wild Card Rally, due to the "No custom-textured components' rule.

Love the skin on the overkill wedge

kill343gs · « **Reply #492 on:** October 06, 2016, 04:18:50 PM »

The skinning is hype, but the design doesn't do that much for me.

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #493 on:** October 11, 2016, 04:19:06 PM »

Beefed this up for Swords, as the IRL Plates are now legal. GO UPDATE YOUR BOTS IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, it's made me anxious and I made the damned things.

Wheels optional, it's just the regular Slap Happy wheels are a bit too obvious.

Wow, that looks awesome as hell! I love the lifting arm in particular, it really has a scorpion-like feel to it. Kinda reminds me of the Series 5 version of Wild Thing. Looking forward to seeing it in action!

The scorpion thing is more than just coincidence. Carbonize started out life back in 2010 or 2011 as a Warhead-style SHW, and evolved many times since then.

Here is the evolution of the whole "Carbon Copy/Carbonizer" Dynasty of robots. Some were for looks, some were for the awesome Battlebots tournaments, and some are fresh and new.

090901 · « **Reply #497 on:** October 11, 2016, 06:09:29 PM »

You should change some of the wedge edges on the newest one to the red ones, it would fit well with the bot dynasty

Thyrus · « **Reply #498 on:** October 12, 2016, 02:51:55 AM »

You have posted a simmilar bot years before right?

dragonsteincole · « **Reply #499 on:** October 16, 2016, 01:56:40 PM »

Followed up on 090901's suggestion, and added a little red trim to Carbonize. I think it works, improvements could be made, but I still like the look of it overall. Also, gratuitous ass shot. The flail-tail was removed to allow weight for the rebuilt srimech/hood.

I'm now posting a few 'colour' experiements from the past week or two. Might be some reposts from the Discord here, calm down.
First is BIGBLUEBOY, which originally had 4 sets of treads, rammed like a train, but unfortunately also turned like one. I may rebuild in the future.

Next is CryogeniXs (I dont know why I like the second capital in the name all of a sudden.) Rebuilt with the new aluminium armour, which took about 70Kg off the weight. Still not a great bot either, but another learning experience.

Red Baron is a Middleweight that will **** your day up with that rotating drum. The front slope is a little too complex though, but does like to wedge under people quite nicely.

Finally, Green Pea. The first Beetleweight i've ever attempted, so there's going to be things wrong with it. But I like it.

Hope people don't flip their sh** about there being more than one bot being posted. I know it's apparently a sin nowadays.
