Diggin' it.  Any problems with parts getting knocked off?
if it cant flip them immediately or at least make them unstable it dies horribly
i've made it wider in different versions but for some reason those are worse

So Redline's former self evolved into an actual bot.  You quack me up Reier.

The bot looks original and awesome at the same time.  Can it self right efficiently?

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

FROM THE PRIMORDIAL SWELLS OF STOCK
TO THE HOSTILE AND FLAIL-INFESTED DSL PERIOD
IT HAD REACHED ITS FINAL FORM UNDER IRONFORGE
and still no one gave a crap about it because it kinda sucks tbh

THE MIGHTY
(Image removed from quote.)
CAR STEERING

but all dat bout 2 chenge
now is da newest fad in irenforg gaming i give you

(Image removed from quote.)

steel 10  :dance:

so the IDEA is that since rammers miss a friggin ton it seems because they oversteer or understeer, that the car steering will help to stay on target. It actually works okay, it needs more work yeah, but the results are promising. I think an AI will be better with it than I am though. the car steering part actually has decent power in and of itself, which helps the speed.

another possibility is ditch the car steering and use 2wd/4wd with a wheel perpendicular on the back to turn gently, but that seems like it would hurt the speed a bit.

the actual design of the robot really isn't that important and can basically work with any number of setups. I still think a wide ramming rack is probably a good idea, but it's pretty much just preference.


:gunz:
I had an idea like this way back in BBEANS1, but my execution of it was sh**. Also car steering absolutely sucks in Stock which didn't help.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

BUT LO, BEHOLD- A THUNDER FROM THE HEAVENS. CAN THIS BE? THE VANGUARD OF THE END TIMES? THE whatever screw it hi guys im back
i have a robot too because its a showcase

in honor of me losing every tournament horribly, I decided to rebuild NSA CAVITY SEARCH/Little Metal Psychopath and make them better so I can be even more depressed next time when I somehow inevitably suffer another series of crushing defeats with a better robot  :gawe:



now it doesn't have the side hammer restriction anymore so I went LOOPY WILD willyWOOhoo.

its kind of hit or miss to be honest. if the opponent has 0 top or side protection it just annihilates them unless they have massive knockback like Invasive cavity search or HW-poker. its also super stinking fast and just pins things like no tomorrow. I wish it had a larger surface area on the front since things sometimes slide away from it but I have no weight for it. The side hammers sort of re-center things but like I said the thing is hit or miss.

compared to NSACS/LMF has 1 more ninja star, more drive/hammer power, and less armor (pl 5, no top/bottom sheets and 1 less plow). also the wedges suck so the robot will never win any fight ever because its RA2. the wedges are better if I dont use the angled ones but then it just cant stay under anything reliably. its like choosing between death by firing squad or electric chair.

rip

No ReiAI or Reforged to test your bot out 0/10

Looks pretty good and pretty unique.  How good is it's self-righting?

its kind of like nuclear load how its unstable inverted and it just has to drive forwards to right itself. at least it was without the skirt at the back, that's kind of temporary i dont know if ill keep it

also i tried to make nuclear load's wedges good but its basically impossible THANKS RA2
next tournament i make im banning the skirt hinge, wedges just force you to play a really boring and luck based style

I don't like bot dumps but I'll probably never get around to showing these otherwise so why not.
these are all from the ReiAI pack I made so if you haven't downloaded it yet THEN GO DOWNLOAD IT i spent at least 5 minutes combined on all of these  :(
basically ReiAI is just some extra teams tacked on the default ones except these are standard so I tried to make them actually deadly more or less.

BIG IMAGE OK IT HAS 15 BOTS ON IT


heeeeeeeeere we go

DDDR is probably the nastiest HS I've fought in IF so far, it really pummels most things I throw it up against that aren't popups or hammers
Dystopian appendage: MW version, IF needed more deadly HS. there is a LW version but it uses the chassis for the HS I showed a few pages back.
Premarital Flatulence/WAFFLE HOUSE/ASpull: they're popups
MAD MAX this things on a team with Dr Tangy and nuclear load and the next one in line, sort of a juggler/VS lineup. it does ok. very stable.
Slight Radiation overdose: crappy MW nuclear load. It's not awful but i wish it was better. chassis gets hit a lot for some reason
Slamjet and Lunesta are HS killers, made to outlast the opponent. They do garbage damage but they live forever
Nun Slayer is a MW VS like most other MWs that are VS. It's a lot like mango tango actually
BWs are pretty self explanatory. Appendectomy is lol, works about as good as it possibly can I suppose.

I tried to make these competently but they're not the most interesting things ever. IF just needed more standard bots, and it saddens me to say this but that included HS and popups. You're going to run into them in tournaments, better fighting them in this pack than getting destroyed later on. Someone had to make them, even if they are a tad generic. I may add some more teams in the future.
next things I post will hopefully be more interesting.

Appendectomy's narrow frontal armor worries me. Perhaps a better solution would be to turn the existing armor sideways so it is wider than it is tall. That way, HS and shell spinners are less of a worry.

Side note: against the grey background, I can't make out the flippermakers holding Nun Slayer's supports, so it looked like they were floating. lol.
Follow me on Twitter? I'd like to see you try!

youre probably right but i slapped the thing together in about 5 mins
also a BW piston flipper is going to die to pretty much everything anyway

speaking of dying robots its time for me to update my showcase



all 3 people who have ReiAI may recognize this """""""competent""""""" robot. I really like how it looks and stuff but it's not really that great tbh. can't get under stuff at all and I REFUSE to give it wedges.
I can't be asked to do wedges i'm sorry I can't be asked
i have another version with a beefy ztek but its probably worse actually. it doesn't really need that much power and those disks on the side are actually a lifesaver vs HS. tite 5
tldr: dr. tangy with no wedges and more suck


i had fun with this lil bro. opted for a drive motor to get more torque out of the weapon and actually less speed is good on this I think. probably isn't the best design ever but I like it.
tite 5. chassis is BFEd lower which would be fine normally but for whatever reason the slim motor can't flippin fit in there even though the hitbox is PLENTY small enough to go by the looks of it i don't freakin know

i actually don't have a problem with BFE chassis height if the components can fit in there normally, I mean you sacrifice the armor value of a bigger chassis when you do it anyway. I think it's fair.


btw thanks for voting for me on the GTM poll thing, I really appreciate it guys  :beer:
