How can I not be awful?Here's some tips: dont use piglets for drive motors, dont use black batteries, build to the weight limit, tgry to make your chassis air tight, use bsgs instead of mag snappers, get more and better weapons (like razor spikes of beatter bars), and get more protection.
Also if you want to see some IRL bots, Thyrus and Scrap Daddy's showcases have lots of good IRL bots.
Can you people stop bombarding him with IRL ? He'll choose between IRL and normal DSL on his own when he will be skilled and knowledgeable enough with RA2.
It's not advice you're giving him, it's pigeonholing a newbie into a choice he did not made.

He's said he wants to make robots like ones in IRL in his welcome thread IIRC.
Wow. It looks like I have some work to do.Piglet motors are good for weapon motors, not drive.
What I picked up was:
-NPCs
-Hypno's wheels
-Airtight Chassis
-MW
-Ant Batterys
-Kill piglet motors
-Never use black batteries again
Be right back, modifying.
By the way, the armour was Al 5
TWM3 and TWM3R drive motors are good drive motors too.
Brown is a good color for a robot.
I like brown.
Oh and I love how similar it looks to mute.
Take two shots and overlap. Me gusta. ;)Oh and I love how similar it looks to mute.
I have been caught!
Scrapheap with the adjustments made. Took a while to get it to fit tightly into the chassis. But NPC Fast's make it... very... fast.
I like the idea of building flippers/robots that can throw things. This can sort of chuck a MW over onto its back, but that's it.

What Badnik said. It`s not like I don`t know what I`m posting
Armour is still Al 5.as in a metal hinge with a small wedge on it
And... what do you mean by wedge? Like, that little black thing in Extras?
Good lord it's King Mushroom
You could probably make a rear hinged flipper for slightly more effectiveness.
Good lord it's King Mushroom
I don't get it.
Your style is so similar to King Mushroom's it's not funny. The splash/chassis of the last bot, your username is a nickname of his, and you're both bronies.
Right, here's Scrapheap. Its way better than the piece of scrap I started with.I'd change the control board to the blue one and get rid of the beater bars.

I wanted to ask for the best flipper motor. The JX burst looks quite powerful.
Your weapons are too long, the razors are not doing to do much damage.
I can't remember the last time a MW popup was posted here :PYour weapons are too long, the razors are not doing to do much damage.
Please don't make him turn it into a popup.We really don't need any less originality here.
I still want the spike strips back.

Try replacing your current wheels with Hypno wheels.
Building generic still helps them get better.I can't remember the last time a MW popup was posted here :PYour weapons are too long, the razors are not doing to do much damage.

I also like that his username hasn`t got numbers in it. I hate numbers in usernamesD:
Right, here's Scrapheap. Its way better than the piece of scrap I started with.First of all, before even giving you any advice, please make your bot pictures bigger(i can barely see them)

Nonononono no more damn popups.

Yep we have a IRL builder on our hands. :DCongrats, Mush. :beer:
It's a sad world where you congratulate people for taking the easy option :PYep we have a IRL builder on our hands. :DCongrats, Mush. :beer:
No weapons ?It's IRL and looks epic without weapons.
Blast some unnerving music through the walls.
Been here for 1 day and already can make better IRL bots than most of us.
Meet Max.Hello everyone. Anyways, nice bot you got there. I like the flipper segment work.
techno wheels for more speed if you need it
How will it be invertible with Hypnos though?
Considering that every time it flips and throws itself and whatever's on it over.
But I don't understand how it was working fine for like, a month. And only within the last 3 hours has it been derping like crazy.
I'm lucky, my RA2 hasn't even done that. The only time it's crashed is when I messed up the DSL install.
But I don't understand how it was working fine for like, a month. And only within the last 3 hours has it been derping like crazy.
The game is insanely fickle. There really isn't a rational answer to that dilemma. I've had the game go for long stretches without a prob and then *bam* it just freaks out for no reason and I gotta reinstall.
Sounds simple enough, but when I was looking at one tournament rules I saw something about "AI-ing" your bot.Generally, the host is prepared to ai. But it is better if you can yourself.
I know what this means, but I have not the slightest clue how to AI, is that vital for a tourney or will the host AI a bot if the sender can't?
TWMR-Drive with added HypnosI would try to get NPC fasts with hypnos at least.
And yes... it is quite slow.
So... I wanted to enter a tournament, and all my existing bots were kind of rubbish. I tried building a rambot for it, but I kind of forgot to add any kind of self-righter.rambots are supposed to be invertible
So, I made this.

Armour is Titanium 3
Ant batteries are counted to be at 21.
If any tourney this is for is Thyrus'.

Now.... Advices Advices for the bot:
1.those weapon racks on the side of the bot is not needed, but if you need something to stop an opponent from flying off the flipper, you can just go with skirt hinge-Beater Bar-Razor tips/Iron Spikes.
2.those beater bars on the flipper are useless. If you wanna make some damage with the flipper you can just use weapons as your flipper.
3. Make the bot wider(MUCH WIDER) so that it can fight SnSes and Sheck Spinners better.
4. Use NPC Fasts with Hypnos at least, or if you're good with chassis management you can try Technos.
and you only need 4 clicks to fit a beta.
Why does that look almost exactly like one of King Mushroom's Havok bots? Again, the similarities between you two are just uncanny...
Alright, thanks for the advises on the bots. Advises... is that a word?If you're looking for good showcases, Marty, Ty, NFX, Me, Pwnator, Scrap Daddy, R0B0SH4RK, Badnik, Craaig, The Ounce, and (in particular) 123 Save The Whales have series of interesting bots in their showcases.
Anyway, I have been using other peoples showcase ideas to... well... steal ideas. To put it bluntly.
I might try building my own without copying.Why does that look almost exactly like one of King Mushroom's Havok bots? Again, the similarities between you two are just uncanny...
Guess whose showcase I have open on the other screen when I made that bot...
he needs two more, Beta's need 21 ants, and spin motors need 1 ant each, because the bot got 2WD, he needs two more to fully power the bot(which can be easily get if you simplify the weapon rack)So...

I'm not entirely sure, but I think this is an IRL bot. In which case, you're kinda ill-advising him. Idk if this is IRL though.
The side.. things, may be guiders as well as protection for the chassis. It's all too common for a hammer bot to side swipe you, so that does have some use. Could be a little lighter though, but I'll cut myself off there and leave it to people who are more experienced than me. I think you can get rid of a few of those ants, although I forgot how much power a beta needs.
I'm gonna play it safe and not give much more advice, but I do have to know, what are you using as drive motors/wheels?
