I'm not making fun of it. There is no point of riding on top of the Robot since you never do it IRL either.

I don't know much about Garry's Mod, but don't you have a first person view of everything? It would be like Orbit view in RA2 I think.

Update:

The music that will be used when in fights will be of my own composition and possibly a friend.

Depending on what 'arena' that'll be used for the tournament, I assume the mapmakers have made the 'booths' for the GMod roboteers to use to control their bot while overlooking the arena instead of no clipping about the place.

I have created a bot to compete in the heavyweight 'division'

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, Mouser! (Basically Series 2 Behemoth & Six Pac from Series 3 mixed together and cheaply decorated as a mouse)

(Yes, that little pink thing at the back is a tail!)
By the way, this isn't a joke bot, that scoop does pack some power in it! Workshop Link: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=371354452

And here's the demonstration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgGKYRoXoc8&feature=youtu.be

I used the Material tool, the warning stripes are default now since Phoenix Storms props are now an official part of Garry's Mod.

A date will hopefully be set within the next two weeks.

During this period, I will be posting teasers of what I've kept secret.

First one is tomorrow.

It's only $10 and if you don't want to use debit cards or whatever you can get a steam gift card. But if you're broke just try a torrent

I could just buy it for you when it goes on sale :3

I made a tutorial on how to build a basic bot on the first page.

Downloading the weight tool, switching to the weight tool and then highlighting the bot.

Excuse the lack of a teaser.

Instead of making a teaser, me and KOS fought E.T.A and Ace...

I promise that the teaser will come in the next few days.

The date will be revealed at the end of the week.

Prepare your entries.

EDIT: I can reveal that the day will be a Saturday.
