Memoirs of the IRL(?) Builder; Paranoia's Showcase

[Paranoia]

whats the double wedge connected to?

Metal Hinges.

[Paranoia]

Hey guys.


I've really just not had much motivation to do anything RA2 related because of school, Garry's Mod, hobbies and other stuff that's going on. I might come on the site from time to time to post some bots when I'm bored or may enter a tournament or two. Though other than that I can't really get any sort of driving desire to build on a larger scale.


tl;dr - i'm lazy and can't be bothered to build

[Paranoia]

No love for that build? Alright then, here's a poker instead.





I also have no idea what to name it, give ideas and I'll skin it to your liking.

IT HAS EYES!!!!!

[Merrick]

Ha, the NPC's do give it a bit of a face!

A decent skin, and that'd look pretty boss.

[MassimoV]

Skin it like a spaceship.

[Probably Rob]

Or hair.

[Paranoia]

I decided to take MassimoV's idea and skinned the bot so it looks space-ish. I don't think it looks very pleased about it, though nonetheless I'm going to just stick with it anyways.


On another note, I've updated Lieutenant Bites and gave it two spinners and a skirt-hinge wedge with the skirt centered. Fittingly enough, I have decided to call it Captain Bites.

[Paranoia]

More standard, I guess.





This design's a nice anti-wedge angled HS inspired by Funny Bunny. The problem is that I can't attach a half-sheet below the bot because the game keeps spouting garbage like "Baseplate Components must fit inside the chassis" or something of the like. Is there any way to fix this issue so the bot can stop being destroyed by the very thing it's intended to destroy?

[Naryar]

yay nar ai arena

looks pretty good, i would angle less these DS teeth so they are useful as HS as well as anti-wedge

[Mr. AS]

the chassis needs to be higher for the halfsheet to attach to the chassis. slide the slider to the bottom instead of clicking the bottom.

Thanks, the bot preforms better against Pop-ups and the like better.

[Paranoia]

I decided to build a counter to the plethora of IRL Spinners and Drumbots.





It turned out alright, I guess.

Those sheet extenders are far too thin to be there in an IRL purpose, in my opinion.

I guess, then again what you're provided with is what you're required to work with, so the limitations by RA2 kind-of restrict me to using the thin-sheets. I've seen similar arguments like this about bots like Hurricane 2 and Pythagora in BB7.

[Naryar]

You can set up that armor better...

What about DSL bars, or flippermakers? Both are thicker and therefore more realistic than sheets - it's just all a matter of how efficient you want to try and make an IRL bot.

<s>hi ty4er</s>


A more IRL version of Mad Max: Remaddening.

[Merrick]

Somebody got inspired by ty4er.

Seems solid enough. Not sure about that random polycarb sticking out of the wedge.

[Naryar]

for me this is DSL standard
