Wouldn't that be nice if it's actually true.  It would have saved me a lot of time digging through those txt files.

Besides, i thought other parts doesn't even show unless "cheatbot2" was used.


Well all of those that are not replica parts, that are unlocked with the cheatbot2.

Hidden parts are not hidden for some reason if you are not running 1.3 version of the game.

Can you please make your pictures JPGs or PNGs, as BMPs take a very long time to load.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

No problem, just makes it easier for people who have slow connections and such.

The robot could definately use some grippiers wheels, like vlad wheels. Also, you have around 80 kg to work with, so I would try to increase the number of weapons, and increase overal defense of the chassis, as well as try to shrink the chassis.

This is all assuming this is a serious robot, and not just a robot for fun.
Any comments would be appreciated. :D

if inverted your cube will have something very sexual in its design and painting
may be add a [-16] in your picture.


 but if you're a young boy or girl, i apologie, i don't want to hurt you, this is  just a heavy joke for mid-adult/adult.

About the bot, i am surprised that nobody told him not to use these weapons cause they have normals. That is, use something else because the pole spikes do damage only with the tip, and this will reduce the damage you'll get with... say an iron spike. Killalot drill would be a good idea there.

I've never had any luck with torque reaction bots. Though your bots look cute, none of them are really combat-effective.

Anyway, you still get points for Pan Tao's looks (it reminds me of a top hat XD). Also, pole spikes have normals, which means that they only do damage at the tips. Irons are a better alternative, but if you shrink your chassis space you can attach far better weapons.

[Edit] Also, S3 wheels provide as much grip as a Vlad. Use those instead. And yep, shrink the chassis space, too. :D

ok thank`s for that.

I made pan tao for the R.I.P. tourney but i`m not shure if I should enter with it.
I`ll change the spikes to ions.


That`s where it got it`s name from.

Delete that image please.

About the bot, wheels don't have any grip unless they're attached directly to a motor.

Not that I know of. Put an extender and a wheel on the end and you'll see why I mean it has no grip.

Dirt Devil 4

It`s not a very good figthing machine but I wantet do do a bot with a bottom armor.
It`s the first in the Dirt Devil series not using a flipper as weapon.
It loves to hang on arena walls -.- :P


U.F.O
Based on the idea of Dirt Devil 4 but this time with a full body armor/spinner.
I don`t know if someone has build this before.


And todays last one:

Stay Away from Me
Inspired by Uraks R.I.P. entry I builded SAFM.
It needs some improvement
