Thank you Jack Daniels for your words :)

Quote from: Jack Daniels;68872
It looks like you put a lot of effort into your building.


It`s because I loved Robot Wars when it was on TV. I always wanted to build a Robot on my own, but i don`t have the knowledge and the money to do it. And there are so many ways to life your creativity. my way is to build some Robot with that game. (I should get an Oscar for that speech Oo) :D

If you don't like spinners you can go rammers or pokers... they can be killers if well built.

Or popups of course.

I also agree that looks do kill, but bots must always be effective as well.

I like your style, however.

Good thing in DSL is that you can build realistic killers.

However, i think you should get more weapons on your bots and try to lighten your extender work - don't use the old Stock extenders as they have low hitpoints for their weight.

I noticed Atila has "alot" of extra weight. You could change the weapon spinner on it and put a bigger Disc on it with more weapons. And for the front you could get rid of the square extenders and put weapons that would do damage in replace for them. Also always try to build to or close to the weight limit for each weight class. Those are just some suggestions but if you put more weapons on that bot it would be a beast:evil:.

Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

AggroCat might actually be quite ideal for low-walled arenas like the BBEANS one. Maybe if it has a very powerful flipper.

You might want to lower the amount of extender work - only round extenders and the flipper pieces seem to hold up reasonably well.

What are SNS?

I think ist`s great that you can build any cind of Robot with this game. There are many ways to build those quickkill bots bur also many ways to build realistic bots.

and even if I don`t like the quickkillers i respect that there are people who build them. :)

SnS = Sit and Spin.  To put in words they are bots that use their drive to power their weapon by turning (spin) in one direction.  Since you cannot drive while spinning, they are call "sit" and spin.

I personally find them extremely boring, both driving them and fighting them.

FBS means Full Body Spinner.

Most of the terms we use can be found here: https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Jargon

As for what Naryar is talking about, it's a special AI that makes the bot translate its motion towards its opponent while spinning at high speed. :D

King of Karnage - Sideshow Freak (Runner-Up, Best Engineered)
Rust In Pieces - Paper Cut 3 (Grand Champion, Most Dangerous Bot)
