ya missed a spot with the magic wand

It's messy, but the mess works really well with the theme/design of the bot. Top work.

Decided to keep up the creative stride with a Free Hugs inspired bot... thing.

It's more of a fun joke bot as the free hinges don't do a lot as they flex out quite a bit, so I don't have a clue what to AI it to work effectively with that in mind.  Ah well, I wasn't expecting a highly effective bot with this anyway.

It's a bonus if the bot looks great AND works really well! Sometimes an eye-grabbing aesthetic is the most important aspect. Who'd want to see something that's incredibly controlled if it looks like a dog turd?

that looks cool.

i actually enjoy irl when it looks cool and isn't more of the same bland, boxy designs.

well that's obviously inspired by razer but you rarely see razer replicas, so it's hardly "more of the same"

Bot dump incoming with two updates, a semi-new bot, and two completely new bots:

PoisonIvy2020.png


Updated Poison Ivy to fit the style of 2020 tournament rule-sets and gave it a bigger weapon.  Also I gave a smart-zone onto the srimech to flip bots off the back and hopefully annoy and leave other bots vulnerable.

Krokodilv2.1.png


Gave Krokodil a flail and upgraded the armor a bit to add some weight, mainly to make it more AI-friendly for the future.

Heartache2020.png


Turret-hammer version of Heartbreaker.  Technically a new bot, but I'm not completely sure on how to feel about it in the long run.

Whirlpool.png


First new bot I made a day or two ago.  Extender-bot PP3D.  Not much to say honestly.

Battletoad2020.png


And now something totally ridiculous.  My version of a Ribbot and seems alright.  Barely tested it though.

Edit: at some point I gotta fix these skins.  For some reason they got rather washed out when viewing them on mobile.

I really like Whirlpool & BattleToad! Heartbreaker is different to say, but with no panels it wont do well against spinners.

Krokodil is better than most HS'es that get sh** out everyday. Something irks me about the supports on Poison Ivy but its fine regardless

Overall, They all look great!

Sweet jebus I love this showcase. The creativity only improves over time! The turret hammer in particular is VERY sexy! :heart_smiley:

Something about Battletoad's eyes concerns me and idk what it is. He has that look to him, like he can't be trusted...

Krokodil and Whirlpool are awesome

Poison Ivy's color scheme has never looked great to me, but the bigger weapon is nice

I much preferred Hearbreaker as a normal axe. As it is, it kinda blends in with your older turret axes imo

I've wanted to make a VS with a set of wings for a while, but I wasn't sure how to make the design overall, so once I decided on a dragon, I just went with it.  I wanted to make a dragon head for the supports, but no matter how many times I tried, it just wasn't going to work very well and abandoned it entirely.

Radar_2020.png


Remade Radar again to fit more within the 2020 ruleset and hopefully have a chance in OW5 for phase 3, but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get chosen, let alone any bot I've showcased recently.  At least this still has the spinny radar thing on the top, but suited more for realism so the "light" of the radar line wouldn't get cutoff in real life, because as cool as the entire chassis part was, it probably wouldn't work very well if I tried that.

new radar looks cool although it has a lot of empty space on the top. maybe if it had some controls and other tech around it on the skin like this then it would fill that space.

the vert looks nice but the lack of a panel wedge is going to really hinder it if it faces off against a hs. the wings look dope tho

Built something for that 2004 Robot Combat thing popping around:

CompleteControl2004.png


Got some inspiration to make this after some discussion about a clamp I made a while back in Discord and wanted to make my style of clamps feel... better, in some for or fashion.  Who knows, I'm kinda happy with the way it came out in the end.

Slight bot dump here...

Amalgamation.png


Modular design from Counter-Pick that somehow won it.  Nothing particularlly special about it, but hey, it at least has more than two forms entered.  I guess.

ScyllaAndCharybdis.png


Potential entrants for Forgotten Worlds.  The themes of these two should be theoretically better made than most other tag-team bots I've made.  Not quite been tested at all so I expect both of these to completely suck.   :dumb)

Thunderstorm.png


Also a potential entrant for Annihilation Nation 2.  I wanted to retry making the Fusion bot I made for a while, and as soon as I realized this was CW, I just rolled with it.  Not entirely sure how one would AI this, but I'll find a way.

It won because it fought my bot in the first round, since every bot that has fought my bots as their first opponent has reached the finals

Oh damn, I like that Thunderstorm bot! To think you can fit those weapon systems effectively into a single chassis of that is is impressive.
