Robot Wars Series 3 Mod

[cephalopod]

By the look o' things, a lot of the replicas are made already, we just need to ask S_R if he's okay with it and/or he wants to come on board and help (:

[Thyrus]

I asked him if he wanted to help. If he`s with us we still can ask him about some of his replicas.

about the roadblock reskin question: I`d say we should do an other BOB version since roadblock hasn`t got that flipper.

I forgot about that flipper when I said we could reksin XD

Couldn't you manage to get a burst motor to tip it as soon as the match starts? (in reference to the side problem)

Phil coded such AI so people could invert robots as soon as the match starts

[Thyrus]

is there a video of how it looks?

Something I've been pondering for a few months now is a possible Milly Ann Bug replica, and since it was in Series 3, now may be the time to pick it up.

That's just the theory I had - the insides aren't meant to be good, it isn't meant to be an accurate replica, just the basics of how it could work. I tried putting motors on the outer shell and got some nice AGOD, and couldn't attach anything to the axles.

Edit: Craaig.. nice thinking perhaps a Milly Ann shell component to make both pieces look the same

I was thinking that, and I did notice the dome spinner shell in Backlash (sorry if that was a secret - haven't seen it mentioned anywhere before :P) - if this could be skinned in some way, it may be possible...

*ignoring what craig said about secret BL component*
There was a shell in a darkrat pack (with Burgerking advert on it as I can remember) what about reskin and bfe?

NOOO you reveled the super, mega, awesome, chocolaty fudge coated, mega, super, component to the world D: D: D:

ahem.... but yeah I was thinking the exact same thing.. except flattened a tad

@Thyrus: LOL so much you non backlash players dont know... its the same GMF haha

[Thyrus]

"you non backlash players" :D sounds like a religious leader :P

but that will work? It will look awesome :D

about the flip after start.py. I made such a bot in stock in my preforum time :D

[JoeBlo]

but that will work? It will look awesome :D

I think so....

so erm put me down for milly ann bug also XD

I tried using it once, but it doesn't let you put anything under the dome, so if you attach it to the baseplate, you can't have CB's, batts, motors, or anything inside the baseplate.  All you can do is attach one thing to the extension point on the inside.  Also it's a nightmare to skin; anything you draw gets stretched every-which-way.

Anyways, Yes I'm on board, but you should know that most of my replicas mix DSL and Stock, hopefully that isn't too big a problem.  Here's what I can contribute:

Napalm
Panic Attack
Vercingetorix
Vector
Velocirippa
Sump Thing
King Buxton
Beast of Bodmin
Mace 2 (Mace 1 actually, but it's more or less the same thing)
Mortis
Killerhurtz
Terror Australis
Aggrobot
Inquisitor
Orac's Revnge
Steel Avenger
Diotoir
Ally Gator
Onslaught? (In need of a serious rebuild though)
Invertabrat
Beast of Bodmin
Excalibur
Axios
Hard Cheese

[cephalopod]

Sounds great S_R, thanks :D

I think the plan was to balance every component and basically mix stock/DSL anyway :P

[G.K.]

Sonny, don't you have 101, Crusader 2 (that could be reskinned as Crusader 1), Dreadnaut XP-1 (that looks almost the same) , Darke Destroyer, Cassius 1 (Which could be reskinned as Gravedigger), Napalm, Oblivion, Shark Attack, Sonic, Stag-O-Saw-Us, Triterobot, The Iron Mask and Victor already?

Little faith in JoeBlo does young Padawan :P

I have another ides for the body if this shell doesnt work out

[Thyrus]

It could be added with gmf change.
Also it`s great to have you on board sonny! you`re the most experianced replica builder.

Sonny, don't you have 101, Uses Lu-Tze Crusader 2 (that could be reskinned as Crusader 1), Dreadnaut XP-1 (that looks almost the same) , Darke Destroyer, Cassius 1 (Which could be reskinned as Gravedigger), Napalm, Oblivion, Shark Attack, Sonic, Stag-O-Saw-Us, Triterobot, The Iron Mask and Victor already?

101- Uses Lu-Tze's tracks, I don't see how we'd get around that
Darke Destroyer- Uses a a Darkrat component for the blade
Iron Mask- The axe is on a servo motor.
Victor- I have Victor 1, Victor 2 looks a lot different
Shark Attack- Only looks good from one angle

THe rest that you mentioned, I can definitely include, but I should warn you that they were made way back before I had DSL, so they lack in quality. Also, when I first bought my laptop and transferred the robots over, I found that their proportions had become skewed, I don't know why but it meant that a whole bunch of them were now unusable (Steg O Saw Us was one such.)  It means I'll pretty much have to rebuild those ones.

[JoeBlo]

whats the issue about 101 and Darke Destroyer ? we can just add those parts in ?

[Resetti's Replicas]

Ok, as long as someone else can take care of it; I ususally end up breaking it when I try to do stuff like that.
