Robot Wars 2013 AI Pack

Probably too much trouble for what it's worth. Love the new signature, by the way. (Dantomkia actually managed to get under Terrorhurtz?)

[Badnik96]

Yeah the new sig is boss.

[AlexGRFan97]

And a good sneakpeak at the new Chaos 2. Nice wheels and flipper rods.

[akshaylan]

Just noticed on a closer look that the signature is all flippers owning others. Anyone now for chat about the actual AI pack?

And as much as I would love the challenge, Twn Twrn was a terrible robot and not even worth the time of trying to mesh it [:

Not good enough? Fine then...

That's because flippers rock.

And what else is there to say? The replicas are boss, there's no point in asking about progress, and it seems that Wham has all his robot choices pretty much sewn up so there's no point in suggestions. :D

i don't know why but i would really like to see the series 6 version of major tom for some reason

Aye. Considering what I've seen so far, we'll definitely be in for a real treat once it's all finished. Makes me wonder though, what teams they'll all be in? I did have an idea for one, in reference to the original DSL Pack-
 
Stark Industries
"Better living through Technology"
(Pussycat, Firestorm, Chaos 2)

The flippers appear to be owning because:-
a) it's the UK - we specialise in flippers. Therefore our flippers own
b) They make for better action shots 


As for the teams, I'm trying to think about things from a tournament point of view. I'd like each time to have 1 robot from the RW games in the 3rd spots. So for example, the 1st team to have Chaos 2, the 2nd to have Hypno-Disc, the 3rd to have Razer, ect., rather than putting all of them together in one team. I have a few team combo's sketched out already, and once I have the nessecary amount of robots, then I can work on organising all of them into their proper teams :)

[Merrick]

Good idea. You can have single player tournaments then as well, which I'm rather enjoying with your Roaming Robots pack.

Ah, that's a good idea. That way, you'd be able to fight the most well-known ones in the Single-Player HW Tournaments, which would be very cool indeed. So for example, I'm guessing for the US Team, you'd have Panzer or Revolutionist in the 3rd Slot, right?

[WhamettNuht]

For teams like that, I'm just gonna have the, both fight to the death and whoever wins gets the 3rd spot

Good idea.  :P
 
 
(Personally, my money's on Panzer Mk4)

[WhamettNuht]

Acctually I think from when I battled them together before Panzer started off good but I think Revolutionist won in the end

[GoldenFox93]

Acctually I think from when I battled them together before Panzer started off good but I think Revolutionist won in the end

So Revolutionist gets the last spot in the US Team? That's fair enough- it's also a good machine, and I like 'em both.   :P

[akshaylan]

When I made that comment about the flipper I meant it in a completely non-negative way if that's what anyone was thinking. Just clearing up any possible confusion

Panzer = Two time US Champion. If that doesn't deserve it, what does?

Yes, that's also a fair point- along with how it starred in both adaptations of Extreme Destruction to Revolutionist's one. But then I suppose, Trial by Combat and all.

New replica:





Eye's have 1 hitpoint, and the lifter once fired won't go back down unless it's moved down with force (it won't go back down on it's own, a bit like a spring loaded system almost)

Yes! You got Diotoir in, fantastic!  :D
 
I particularly love how you've laid it out, with the scoop and the wheelguards and all, definitely very good-looking overall.
