Well good news first, turns out I had more space than I thought I did so was able to add rubbers while keeping sin with a grin VERY much legal

Bad news, the bot's drive's still rather unstable, it's drivable now yes, but while it's spinning up the chassis itself still rotates

chances are now that peopl will try to create RA2 legal RS.

I was trying to make a Ring Spinner component for Backlash but 3DSM crapped out on me again :P

encase anyone stil wonders, though not a ring spinner that is how I did my original AW

as for the chassis spinning on your robot its simply the torque from the dual perm.. it happens a lot with small chassis shell spinners.. its why I sometimes favor the large circle chassis on a HW (like DSL 2.1 Grog for example)

It was a common issue in CC2 with the SHW shell spinners with tiny cube chassis'

Aah, didn't see that post JB, thus the belated reply.
So basically my bot's got problems because the chasis is so awesonely super tight

Ah well, have to use a bigger chasis on the next one then.
If it helps, it hasn't been beaten by the 4/5 shell spiners i've faced it against, even with the drive problems

And I hope a ring spinner component gets madde at some point, it'd be cool to be able to make "legal" ring spinners.

O.k, 2 bots using the same internal set up for CC4.
I think I already know the awnser, but which one do you think is better?

The first one's got steel 1 armour and the second one has plastic 3.

NFX · « **Reply #325 on:** December 14, 2010, 03:03:50 PM »

Personally, I think the second one looks cooler. First one needs a few more weapons, though, but it's probably better.

Scorpion · « **Reply #326 on:** December 14, 2010, 03:07:05 PM »

lol, that's exactly what I thought about them.
It was trying to give the first bot better weapons that spawned the second bot oddly enough.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #327 on:** December 14, 2010, 10:14:08 PM »

you can downgrade the weapon motor on the first to a single then add more beater bars

the second has lack of any defense

Techno wheels on LWs = instant fail

The first looks better cause the second one would probably be manhandled to death, but you can get a less powerful motor, protect it and more weapon weight.

Hehe, opened up an older RA2 DSL and look what I found:

I honestly can't really remeber making this bot

I did make the chasis though, I can remember doing that (and it's saved in my robot designs folder) So I guess I chucked this together to utilise the gimmicky chassis

It didn't have a name, so I called it In the flesh?, a suitable name I think.
It doesn't seem to bad either for a bot I can't remember...

Naryar · « **Reply #330 on:** December 19, 2010, 06:02:52 PM »

At one moment I believed you managed to make the chassis transparent and that the grey visible chassis side was the color of the floor.

But nope :P

NFX · « **Reply #331 on:** December 19, 2010, 06:10:12 PM »

Flail hammers suck, apparently. But I like the design, it's like if Tornado was moar cool.

Scorpion · « **Reply #332 on:** December 20, 2010, 04:01:36 AM »

No Nar, I ain't that awesome ;P

And you say flail hammers suck, but it seems to be surprisingly good so far...

Flail hammers fail against flail razors, static hammers and static razors. RA2 hates logic. :P

What!?!
I was just going to export into my Nar AI to prove you wrong ;P
But when I try to export it from that game,, it just doesn't apear in the robot designs folder

Vertigo · « **Reply #335 on:** December 20, 2010, 04:24:00 AM »

Whats the name of the bot?
I've tried to export bots with question marks in the name and they just don't appear either

And I can prove you wrong with this:

I was expecting this to be a counter for flail razors, but I couldn't even take a single razor off.

Scorpion · « **Reply #337 on:** December 20, 2010, 04:45:10 AM »

Yeah, I got rid of the question mark, although that means I can't make another version simply called in the flesh (because both are pink floyd songs).

Oh, and pwn, I think you may have bee right, although I filled up my screeenshots folder so I don't have the picture

I just got beat by about 600 points by clockwork centurion 3

JoeBlo · « **Reply #338 on:** December 20, 2010, 05:23:02 AM »

flails theoretically would lower concussion and as a concussion only weapon I can see why Flail sledges would fail

As I can only send 20 PM's in an hour, and scorp was unlucky #21, here you go:

Hi guys, I'm sure you know that on saturday, the deadline for BTTB 3 is up. This is just a heads up.

Sorry if you were perfectly aware, I'm just making good practice sending it to all.
