I just remixed ALARM's weapon setup and sent it to Inf.

I will rebuild Raptor (i built it one year ago)...

But Bushido, i don't know. Should we keep samurai swords?

Reier · « **Reply #41 on:** July 17, 2009, 09:23:41 AM »

Didn't Venko build that?

GameKing3 · « **Reply #42 on:** July 17, 2009, 01:52:07 PM »

Bushido will be much more effective without the swords. My vote is for no swords unless you can find a really effective and stable way to use them.

Ok, so now more precise feedback...

-Scout should really use faster drive and use a srimech.
-ALARM has pinks :-(, and well the weapon setup is kinda messy.
-Sentinel is nice.
-Roly Poly i don't know because it crashes, but the weapons are somewhat not aligned = not good.
-SaberTooth is deadly, period. The wedge could be better, though.
-Catfish crashes as well.
-Mud Runner is too fast, and the hammer isn't long enough, as well as the srimech arm.
-BEAR is a beast and the deadliest HW in the pack. Nuff said.
-Ninja is very nice, but suffers from easy immobility.
-Bushido ...
-Ronin is the best popup in the pack.
-Bot-204 is sweet. Don't see any glaring flaw in that one.
-Devil's wedge isn't that good and yeah, the smartzone is too forward.
-Industrial Coal Miner isn't that good, especially the wedge.
-Jackpot gets easily other another bot. Might need a wedge or lower wheels.
-The Boxer isn't compact enough methinks... but shouldn't the thing be invertible with shinies and no caster?
-Emergency didn't tried this one.
-M.A.D. is really sweet. I like the Omni.py use on this one.
-Dementia is nice as well, but i see it fairing better with the casters more centered. Wedges are bleh however.
-Little Metal Friend has great wedges and does great damage. Another very nice side hammer.
-MiniBerg should really have a longer hammer...
-IceBerg is pretty nice.
-SnowJob's snowplow is nearly useless. Might be for sticking to the original but... it's barely invertible as well.
-FlipJack I really don't see the point of the casters here.
-SlashBack looks nice.
-Wide Load is fearsome. Fast and very destructive, and better than Snowjob.
-Flame Chopper is sweet.
-LugNut is DEADLY.
-Hanky Panky isn't bad, but yeah you should use weapons rather than elevator things.
-Berserker is VERY destructive (as all the LW HS). The chassis most likely has empty space, and i don't know why.
-Razor crashes but looks nice.
-Eye Poker is Dex' Bloodshed, i think... it could be better.
-Lil'Dog crashes.
-Da Dog crashes
-Big Dog is too fast for it's own good, and not enough weapons... it looks great though
-Civil Disobedience is devastating - raped 360 Arc Pounder. Very solid LW HS.
-REVENGE well ... not really tested a lot.
-Raptor is bad, i know. I'll rebuild it.
-Stinger is sweet.
-Tornado :O R0B0 strikes again... and strike strong as well.
-DEADBEAT is nice as well. Hammers are kinda short though.
-360 Arc Pounder looks fearsome but spins slower than i thought...
-Ripblade's wedge is oddly matched with that snowplow.
-Backyard Ripper I really don't see the point of the bracket wedges when NWB owns with just 1 snowplow.

Pwnator · « **Reply #44 on:** July 18, 2009, 05:12:50 AM »

Doesn't NWB only have a single plow?

Anyway, I'll try to fix Ninja again.

Sage · « **Reply #45 on:** July 19, 2009, 11:11:17 AM »

I'm gone for the week. Normally this wouldn't matter, but my computer BROKE as well. It turns on for a second then promptly turns off. That means unless I get it fixed, I have no RA2 and no skin pack, no restocked stuff, and no way to rebuild EMERGENCY.

I'll see what I can do, but I'm pretty sure my computer is screwed. I'm on an old desktop at my uncles house in California.

It doesn't slow down the forum software at all, which doesn't care about the file type, since it's just a [img] BBCode tag being translated into a HTML tag.

Ive been away on baseball, and I probably wont be around for a couple more days because I am traveling to three different Universities so I can commit.

My responses:

Ripblade and Bushido suck (they were built by Venko)
The rammers should just be changed to OmniRam.py
I like snowjob better than wideload.

SD I will send you a Beta.

ANd Serge, the image has to be BMP for the game, and I wasnt going to waste time to change it.

Sage...

UPDATE:

On the first page I have posted an open release of the first BETA. Second Beta should be released very soon.

Looking for final feedback from more people now. Except if your name is Life Robot Arena 2 or Roboman2444

roboman2444 · « **Reply #52 on:** September 13, 2009, 11:23:44 AM »

that was not nice

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #53 on:** September 13, 2009, 11:25:14 AM »

Have you rebuilt the crappy bots that Venko built yet? (Bushido, Ripblade)

infiniteinertia · « **Reply #54 on:** September 13, 2009, 11:40:54 AM »

neither

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #55 on:** September 13, 2009, 11:43:17 AM »

On a quick look trough without actually fighting them, I noticed that Boxer has no skin.

All of them looked real nice, im going to test them out some time later.

They did that to me in the beginning of this thread, but I got over it (it was a bad case of being a n00b. I'm not a n00b anymore, I think.

roboman2444 · « **Reply #57 on:** September 13, 2009, 01:18:32 PM »

im not such of a noob either, noobs usually cant make good spinners.

Natef · « **Reply #58 on:** September 13, 2009, 01:19:20 PM »

That's the spirt! :-)

Who can't make a good spinner?

Anyways... I'm testing some of the wedges, and other small things. So far I'm pretty sure Dementia has the best wedges in the Middle Weight Division. It's the only bot that got under Seism 16. At most half of the time though. I think Sentinal has very good wedges too, but I'm not done with the Heavy Weights.

One complaint though so far. Why does Hanky Panky have Iron Spikes instead of Razors?

And just wondering, how many Claws does Bear have? It completely destroyed my strongest spinners.
