i started this thread so people can post ideas for ra3(if it ever gets made).
Please include how ra3 would do this(just a description)
my ideas
1. beter chassis design.
description: remake the chassis editor so that more complex things can be made. maybe a py script to edit a .bot file.
2. custom components that can be made in game.
description: It would basically be a bots chassis. good for making simple things like extenders or batteries. paired with the chassis design idea it would work.
3. crushable/deformable components.
description: since the components would really be chassis it would just use the normal deforming thing from normal ra2.
4. chains/belts/gears:
description: basically its a motor that connect to the "base" motors shaft. there would be a script that would lock the "base" motor and copy its parameters(speed,power,intake) to the chain motor.
5. totally realistic!
description: maybe having all the components be technically chassis would not allow them to pass through each other. not allowing motor movement in the bot lab would also help get rid of glitches.
6. Arena maker
description: some type of thing to make custom arenas like a lot of racing games have(trackmania).
