Thanks!

Took a battle from Youtube for reference, resized the screenshot, used it for reference on text placement and how it looks (I found the RW text to be BankGothic LT/MD BT with a 120% height scale)
Googled "Metal Siding" for images, grayscaled a blue picture and rotated 90 degrees, stretched it to fit my workspace to make the background
Used a transparent black brush to make shadow around the edges
The robots are on a layer lower then the text, inbetween the two is a transparent fill that basically makes the robot lighter, making the text stand out.

You do realise I have to out-splash you now. =D

Fantastic skin, in my view. Though I would be concerned about the self-righting issue.

Amazingly this the quickest splash I've ever done :P

That looks awesome :D

Realistic AI please?

RedSawn · « **Reply #145 on:** October 28, 2010, 07:12:48 PM »

What realistic AI? You want me to put it in a pack or something?

It's something Stagfish is supposedly putting together.

Well, it's been two years! Time to crack this baby open.

Red's Robotic Hall of Lame 2012 - DSL Edition
Now without whiny bitching about not getting comments!

First competent bot I've made since I opened up RA2 yesterday. No flashy skin, but you get a nice, basic splash x)
The skirt extends past the reach of the weapon making it a bit awkward to get a hit sometimes, but when it does, it's a good 400~600.
Typhoon spike to help the bot not stay flat on it's back if overturned. Could use an extender but I have no other uses for any weight saved.

"hall of lame" my ass...

not too sure about that reach though. maybe a hexplate/dsl bar+large beater+lds tooth would reach just a bit further

RedSawn · « **Reply #149 on:** December 13, 2012, 07:19:54 PM »

It's an issue with mixed consequences, ranging from "requiring a full force collision to get a hit" to "no trouble at all" .. will need to do more testing really.

looks OK.

Naryar · « **Reply #151 on:** December 14, 2012, 03:16:01 AM »

needs a proper wedge.

RedSawn · « **Reply #152 on:** December 15, 2012, 09:24:54 AM »

Not feeling so good about sacrificing the frontal protection, any suggestions?

Additionally, next bot!

Not much to say about it, really. It hurts, if anything.

Too slow for a gutripper.

Red's Golden Rule of Bot Building: If you like a robot, build it a weight class smaller.

The X-Terminator knockoff returns as a LW, probably more suited as a IRL DSL bot than it's MW brother. Cheatbot2'd for the red extender again to act as one of those rotating warning lights. Still beats some of the standard DSL AI, though that's because it's a hammer bot. Not as stable as the MW, but it only rocks slightly when firing.

Looks awesome.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #156 on:** January 16, 2013, 08:11:54 PM »

Beautiful

RedSawn · « **Reply #157 on:** January 19, 2013, 07:54:27 AM »

Yuuup.
Can't really self-right.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #158 on:** January 19, 2013, 08:31:11 AM »

If you swapped the mag snappers with BSGs you could get more weapons on.

RedSawn · « **Reply #159 on:** January 19, 2013, 08:37:21 AM »

Probably with the top ones, can't change the side hammers since the BSGs don't have a slot there..
