increasing the resolution on the plow skins will make them look a lot better. falcon tank and wall smasher look pretty good but falcon tank could use more than one color and wall smasher could use a more consistent color scheme
Stuff I didn't suck at (from oldest to newest)

Gonna try to get monthly updates on the showcase out from now on, so here's this month's.

Earlier in the showcase, I posted an overhead saw blade called Circuit Breaker.  I've since done two complete rebuilds, the latest screenshot I have being the one here.  It is my entry into OW5 new blood and tbh I have no ideas for using the extra weight the crash patch gave me except more counterweights on the arm.

Thistle has received an upgrade for RR3, the wedgelets are now hinged and both configs have the same wedge.

On the subject of RR3, this is my planned SHW entry, No Hammers No Beans.  I did originally plan on it being called All Hammers No Beans and having spinning hammers like my RR2 LW, but it looked terrible so I made it what it is now.
 
nhnb wedgelets.png


Another SHW I've built is Cola Can, a tuna can ring spinner.  The extra weight the crash patch has given me will likely go into more armour as I have no other ideas.
 
cola can.png


Speaking of the crash patch, due to it making motors and batteries lighter, I decided to mess around w/ it and ended up creating a sh**ty BW overhead called Baby Flame, and less than 24hrs later I had to rebuild it to get it under 175kg again due to an update that made copals and astros heavier.  The top armour is kinda messy but there isn't rly a way to fix that w/ the weight I have left.

Sry if the bots in this month's update feel like they didn't have as much care put into them as some of the bots in last month's, I was kinda rushing at some points to get them ready to be showcased before taking a (almost) 6 week break from RA2.

First up, Infestation, a SHW clusterbot based off ants.
 
infestation black.png

 
infestation red.png


The only other bot in this month's update is Schweinehund, a CW IL style flipper that is in pathfinder 2's IRL division.  After seeing its first battle in that, I've decided I'll be switching it to 2wd so its power lasts longer and so I have the weight to make some other changes.  No idea why those black lines are on the skinned panels, they're not in the texture bmp files.

Any ideas for improvements to these bots would be appreciated.

I ended up returning from my break a couple of weeks early after being inspired to do so by Thistle's performance in RR3, so here's this month's update.

Updated Thistle to crash patch weight w/ a much stronger wedge, smaller wheels w/ some protection and the hammer config turned into an axe.
 
thistle third try.png


It took me a few weeks to decide whether to update Pitstop to crash patch weight or build a sequel, I ended up building a sequel: Pitstop S.
 
pitstop s.png


I built a shell spinner based off of buizel for Cringey's pokemon tournament, prolly gonna change the colours of the shell and teeth to look better.
 
buizel.png


I have completely rebuilt Ice Pick and its now up to crash patch weight.
 
ice pick.png


And the same for Deep Blood.

Current WIPs include updates to Schweinehund to make its power last 3mins and a sequel to Slem & Slam.

Time for this month's update.

Made some changes to Schweinehund to hopefully make its battery last to the end of a fight.  I regret making it an extenderbot.
 
schweinehund.png


I built Slem & Slam 2, much wider dustpans to fight HWs more effectively and hammers on bursts for more reliable self-righting, although the chassis is weak.  Also managed to get them to both be MWs to fit the rules that some tournaments are running.
 
slem and slam 2.png


I've redone Circuit Breaker's arm so it can fit a belted TWMR and made its supports wider.
 
circuit breaker.png


I also converted Pitstop S to a front-hinge as some hosts are no longer allowing top-hinges to use pneumatics, and this bot won a championship last week.

Currently WIP: NHAB 2 being bought up to the crash patch weight limit and a sequel to Heatwave.

This month's update is a couple of days late bc I was on holiday, but now I'm back home, here it is.

I built a MW turret flamer themed around a tank, although its chassis is paper thin, E-17.
 
e-17.png


Took a few attempts to get it to not sh** itself w/ the game's broken physics, but Heatwave 2 is finally complete.
 
heatwave 2.png


NHAB 2 is now more heavily armoured and no longer has a beans texture for the top armour panel.
 
nhab 2.png


This is the first BW I've entered into a tournament, Scrap Baby.

Not got any new bots to showcase this month, just a couple which have had some changes made ahead of OW5 and other tournaments, plus a new consistent splash template.

After it was rejected from AT2 for lack of stability, I've replaced Deep Blood's tribar w/ a disc and made its armour stronger w/ the huge amount of weight freed up by the change.
 
deep blood disc.png


Changed the flipper on Pitstop from 1 storm front-hinge to 2 VDMAs, visually nothing's changed, just a (hopefully) more powerful weapon.

Currently WIP: changes to NHNB and two new bots.

OW5 signups are open, so gonna show off my lineup for it here.
 
ow5 lineup.png

Pitstop and Deep Blood are exactly as I showcased them yesterday in my monthly update.  Circuit Breaker (while not shown in the splash) has had the casters on the end of its arm replaced w/ a tail like the one on Ice Pick.  This is due to the bot being 2kg overweight, despite it being the version I built it up to 794kg post-crash patch, as seen in september's monthly update.  The tail also makes it jump much less when swinging its arm overhead.  Hopefully they will perform better than my bots last series, especially Pitstop.

Final update of the year, got three new bots to showcase.

First up, a bot that's intentionally sh** (and prolly the worst bot I've built), Beijing Streets, bot for Kelimpel's XTRA tournament where I just took the piss.
 
beijing streets.png


Next up, the first of all the extenderbots I've built that has a more complex shape to it, No Hammers No Beans 2.  The 2 NPC fasts as its drive is a typo, it actually has 4.
 
nhnb 2.png


To finish things off, my first OBJ bot, Topaz, which has already won a tournament.
 
topaz.png


Planned builds for new year: Heatwave 3, Thistle 2, Deeper Blood, Schweinehund 2
I also plan on making some changes to Circuit Breaker and Slem & Slam in the new year.

Only got one bot to showcase this month, Thistle 2.  Abit messy in areas but overall not too bad considering what I was trying to put into 250kg.

Another big tournament means another showcase update outside of the monthly schedule.  This time, WWRA2, for which I have built my team's 4-bar, 4-bar connection.

Time for the monthly showcase update, w/ two new bots.

Schweinehund 2 is the sequel to my CW rear-hinge which made the top 16 of AN2, and imo its a huge upgrade, despite having a sorta weak chassis.
 
schweinehund 2.png


And for geodome I build Venojolt, an overhead thwackbot which I used rammer.py to get the torque reaction in AI.

Circuit Breaker is now a config bot w/ shorter forks than before, these are the three configs that are finished so far, got two more to finish.

Decreased the armour on the rear halves on Infestation to increase the chassis armour to alu 10, visually nothing has changed.

Something about the arm support end on circuit breakers saw and hammer saw configs seems off. Like it needs to be wider.  I like the grabber config, but kinda wish it had a different fork setup to go with it to emphasize the grab.

The bugs are fun. Sectional bots are just entertaining.

Is there a pic of heatwave's crusher firing?
