Thanks, but it's actually not very well built internally though. It just doesn't spin, too heavy. :ermm:

I guess I could rebuild it, but that would take ages and I doubt I could get it looking the same.

Built a new version of my SHW with a larger chassis, different shell, new weapons, and a dual perm.

This one actually works. Will enter it into BB6.



This is The Devil's Last Dance.

Dammit, Mazakari. I know you like flippers, but stop building more. You have plenty.





Hang on, here's one that's not got a lifter!






I am definitely getting less creative. This isn't good.

Aren't clamps kind of impossible in RA2 physics without custom components?

Not really, no. You can still trap your opponent between two bursts or servos if you do it right.

also #2 and #3 are def far cooler than #1

This surprises me, considering #2 is a brown box with a lifter.

I suppose the same could be said for #1, only with different adjectives...

I have to agree with Naryar. My favorite, though is #2. It's those triangle shaped panels sticking out that catch my eye.

Tonight, I'm taking the plunge, and I'm going to learn to AI.

Lord have mercy on my soul, I have no idea what I'm doing.  :rage


Hopefully before long, I'll upload a test battle for y'all.


We'll see how it goes.

Yes. I've also added a rear saw blade to it.

So, DSL3 had to pop up the day after I said I'd make a start on AI'ing some robots.

Yeah, that didn't happen.

I played around with some of the shiny new parts instead.

Looks badass.

Most certainly isn't, but you can't have everything.

Yeah, it's completely impractical. Very slow, weak weapon. Still, a design idea that can be transferred over and upgraded, no doubt.

So yeah, it's definitely been about a week with no progress at all. Yay for real life.

I've hated practically everything I've built lately, anyway. Need to be more innovative, but it's proving tricky.

-has a little self-pitying whine and a cry in the corner-

ANYWAY MOVING ON, here's the only one I feel is at least slightly worthy of posting, the Merchant Of Menace.
 


Currently working on a crusher. I have an idea of what I want to do with it (I built a basic prototype using a bog-standard wedge chassis) but it uses a custom motor for the weapon which I downloaded from the website, so I may not post it here.

Seems like a waste of weight but it's pretty cool. Maybe some weapon supports.

Yeah, I was hoping the chains of two Perms would make it look supported, but I may go back and revise the design. It's what I tend to do now, anyway. Build a nice generic chassis, stick a weapon to it, then go back a couple of weeks later with an idea on how to make it shinier.

(quick response, I'm impressed.  :laughing )

The first attempt at a crusher/clamp.
