I have been making a few replicas lately, and have found a webpage that has pictures of the bots from all three seasons of Robotica. So I am wondering, who would be interested in a Robotica replica pack?
Edit: Robotica replicas are being built.
Done:
PSHHHT! - Sonny_Resetti
Jawbreaker's Revenge - Sonny_Resetti
Solar Flare - Sonny_Resetti
Juggerbot 3.0 - Sonny_Resetti
In the works:
FlexyFlyer (?) - Pwnator
Spring Breaker - HurricaneAndrew
Malvolio - HurricaneAndrew
Whyatica - JoeBlo
If anyone else has more to be added, let me know in this thread.
-
depends, can you ai, skin a robot, and build better than life ra2
-
Could I have that link to the pictures? I've done a replica of PSHHHHT! and am hoping to do more robotica bots, except I can't find any good pictures.
-
depends, can you ai, skin a robot, and build better than life ra2
Yeah I'm pretty sure I can build better than LRA2, and I know how to skin.
Although I don't know how to AI, but I am hoping somebody could help with that.

Edit: Pshhht! is one of them I was going to do, but if you already have it then I guess I don't need to.
-
Been trying to replicate Flexy Flier for months. Gave up two weeks ago.
-
I can imagine Flexy Flier would be hard to make a replica of.
I'm sticking mainly to the simpler one to start. I've got Malvolio done, and Spring Breaker still needs the skin finished, but thats all i have started for now.
By the way, does anyone know where to find pictures of Spring Breaker? I have only been able to find two pictures, and neither of them were very good.
-
Does anyone know where to find pictures of Spring Breaker? That would help tremendously with the skinning of it.
-
I would be interested in making an AI pack as I was going to do it before but im not exactly familiar with robotica, but based on those pictures I know a couple, Whyatica and Panzer ones I know of quite well
-
Ive always wanted to make a replica pack. But ive never really made an attempt at it so im defiantly in. If you want to learn how to AI look around ive seen a couple topics about it.
-
I tell you what is everyone wants to build robotica replicas and send them to me I can put them all in a DSL 2 mod (AI ones that people cant) and make a nice UI mod for it to but i wont be able to do any work on it for a bit due to my current tournament.. but its an option is anyone is interested. It will be a group thing so all names of those that help out will be in the credits
-
Sounds good with me.
-
I'll send most of the good bots when I give up (again) on Flexy Flier. XD
-
great your replicas are really good, Im mainly doing it because
- I wanted to make an AI pack
- I like modding the UI
- Im a Whyachi fan and want to make Whyatica :smiley:
but yeah this is open to anyone who wants to submit replicas (hang on to them for now) and I think I want to work on this a fair bit with HurricaneAndrew since it was not only your idea but you seem to know a heap about robotica
-
just wanna point out that Run Amok was already made a replica by the Run Amok team
-
We should start making a list of Robotica bots that people have already done/are working on, so that we don't end up with duplicates. Andrew, maybe you could post the list on the first post, and update it as people add new ones. All I can contribute to the list is PSHHHHT!, and I can just reskin Tricerabot to make Juggerbot. What does everyone else have?
-
was Robotica only heavyweights ? or did it have lower classes too ? if not will it be 3 heavyweights per team? also didn't panic attack compete in robotica ? we could use the DSL replica
-
No, i dont think Panic Attack entered Robotica, i watched the whole series like, 3 times (all 3 series)
I may be able to do a couple of bots, what with my reskinning talents, how bout i do JuggerBot 1 & 2, Ill Tempered Mutt and Kritical Mass? (I have an idea for his disc!)
So, what are we using it from, stock, dsl? (I may be able to contribute some components, say like small little motors and forever lasting batterys)
-

I got Sewer Snake, Stinger (couldn't make it do the overhead thwack), Gemini, Mousetrap (a bit short, though), and Root Canal.
But these are Robot Wars replicas, though (I think).
-

Well, it depends. What are everyone elses replicas made in?
Mine are DSL.
-
DSL 2 would be better with a larger range of components that can be used as well as additional arenas and the like
-
I think STC has a robotica fight to the finish arena?
-
that would be cool as we can add Robotica to the tournaments in Team HQ
-

For some reason my tournaments in DSL don't work right...
The icons for them are the DSL tournaments, but then when you open them they are the stock tournaments.
I solved the problem before by reinstall, but accidently lost all of my DSL bots. I had played about a half season of the DSL tournaments, then it went back to the strock for some reason.
I know this isn't the topic for it, but can anyone explain what's happening?
-
I finished building Jawbreaker's Revenge. It'll be skinned and displayed asap.
-
is this for dsl or stock?
-
DSL due the the additional components
HurricaneAndrew: i cant say for sure but I wil be using a fresh copy when making this pack to minimize issues
Sonny_Resetti: sounds cool look forward to seeing it
I will require some large images to make the UI and splashes while the game is loading, no need for them right now just letting everyone know so they can keep there eyes out
-

Yes, and if anyone can find ANY pictures of Spring Breaker, PM a link to them to me.
This is the one picture I have found of it:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1125Spring Breaker.jpg)
It works well to skin the front, but I need pictures of the back. I can't even replicate the rear paint as I don't remember what it looked like.
Edit: I also need the sides.
-
Go for it. It sounds like a great idea, and as long as Ultra-Violence and Panzer Mk.3 are in there, I'll be downloading it in a flash.
-
Joeblo: if you need any help or anything let me know i would be glad to help you out.
HurricanAndrew: I dont think there is any other pictures i have looked everywhere if there is a picture its hidden somewhere.
-
I think STC has a robotica fight to the finish arena?
yah I still have it,it used to be downloadable here on the site but it got taken out for some reason,the only prob with the arena is that it doesn't have the walls and the camera angles aren't rlly good.
-

HurricanAndrew: I dont think there is any other pictures i have looked everywhere if there is a picture its hidden somewhere.
the more the merrier im basically just going to put the thing together and help out if people don't know how to AI what ever you can contribute (arenas pictures, ideas, AI) is great
-
Arena's are not really my thing but Idea's, Pictures, and AI i can do.
-
Continuing a discussion from the other replicas thread, here's Jawbreaker with Killalot's claw:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/SqueakyYugi/jawbreaker2.jpg)
And Jawbreaker with an icepick:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/SqueakyYugi/Jawbreakersrevenge-1.jpg)
The version with Sir K's claw has a very, very limited arc of the jaw, and it's impossible to get the whole thing inside the body, but that's just my observations. Which version do people like better?
-
Well are we going more for good looking replicas, or are we going for effective replicas?
-
I would think that you are trying to find a good balance between the two because you dont want to be all for show. Because then people will get bored and stop playing the AI pack. But if you go only to make the replica effective it really takes away from the replica itself. Find the good healthy balance between the two. I would go with the first one
-
you make custom components to balance the 2 so for the replica ^^^ above you make a custom killalot jaw or icepick to do more damage then a regular one... i say the first also
-
Dude, move the weapon forewards!
-
I've got the burst motor pressing right up against the wall. And if I try to mount the claw on an extender or something, it'll end up being mounted even higher.
-
Me will try dark track.
-
Me will try dark track.
Please don't rape the things I love.
-
LRA2 you are like a virus. You have yet to even build a single decent bot yet you are going to try to make replica`s.
-
well treads can't be used so i'll try to make killer B
-
a little bit of a bump but given that CC2 is drawing to a close I have more time on my hands and so I think we should start this up properly (that is if HA still wants to go ahead with it) as before I said I would gladly be the one to piece everything together but if anyone wants to contribute something then go for it... this will be a group like effort but I will plan to run things by HA as this was his initial idea
We should start making a list of Robotica bots that people have already done/are working on, so that we don't end up with duplicates. Andrew, maybe you could post the list on the first post, and update it as people add new ones.
I like this idea.. someone getting a list together and then as people make the replicas (and post pics in here) we mark it off the list. getting all the replicas done will take time so that's why I think the earlier the better.

Agreed. I think it should be in the first post of the thread, which is why I was asking Andrew to do it. Here are the ones I have, in case Andrew does decide to make the list:
Jawbreaker's Revenge
PSSSHT!
Solar Flare
Juggerbot 3.0 (Just a reskinned Tricerabot with some decorative bits gone)
-
well treads can't be used so i'll try to make killer B
Hate to burst your bubble, but there are no omni wheels in RA2.
-
I'll reskin'em.
-
that sounds like a good idea but when you say skin are you GMF editing or just changing the BMP images in the maps folder ?
-
maps.
-
if you submit anything to this pack GMF editing is required so it wont interfere with other components if you dont know how to do this then I can do it for you when the time comes
-
Oh crap. Sorry guys, but i had completely forgotten about this.
-
ah cool you added the list to the first post
im working on Whyatica if you want to add that :-D
-
I *finnaly* got DSL so Dark Track is in the works.
JoeBlo,You'll need to skin.
-
LRA2 if you want to get stuff done build up your respectability (Judging by how many people are annoyed with you it's probobly very low) Then ask politely for what you want.
-
Might as well do HandsOff!
-
Just wondering if anyone has made any headway on this...
-
bump!
-
Well, yes... I bumped my own thread... Mainly for the sake of seeing how everyones Robotica replicas are coming along.
-
i'll try Ultra Violence and The Tick. Also,I have a Silverback replica that can be fixed to make Killa Gorilla
-
I haven't done any work per se, but my Manta replica could become Kritical Mass, since they're basically the same robot. However, I haven't figured out how to do that triple-blade spinner weapon, does anyone have any ideas? Also, the picture I have of it shows it completely unpainted and just metal, does anyone know whether or not it competed looking like that?
Also, I could probably make Losogeye out of Rosie the Riveter, if anyone has any good pics of it, I could make it even better.
-
maybe use the hex plate on a piglet?
-
It seems like Kritical Mass was bare metal... but it was a dark colored metal.
I've seen a webpage for the robotics team that built Kritical Mass that had all kinds of nice information and some pictures, but I have no idea what the url was.
-
Also, I could probably make Losogeye out of Rosie the Riveter, if anyone has any good pics of it, I could make it even better.
does that mean you already made a Rosie the Riveter ? is there pics of it posted somewhere ?
BOT: im still able to help put this together if anyone wants me too

Yes, I've actually been sitting on it for the past 6 months, and I didn't make the connection till now. I thought I posted a picture of it, but I guess not. When I get around to it, I will, but in the meantime, here's a video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ytN5WdtusA
-
I have seen one episode in Season 2, There was these bots: Ill Tempered Mutt, Wizard of Sawz, Mechacidal Maniac & Shannoynigan (I dont find Shannoynigan's picture, That's weird...)
-
What about Ultra violence
-
BUMP
This pack should be finished in respect for Hurricane Andrew.
-
agreed
-
I had the same thoughts RR
-
yes, it should
I've always wanted to drive Ultra violence :mrgreen:
-
I agree.
-
Ditto.
-
Bump...
God, I feel like a now more than ever.
-
eh dont worry about.. we didnt do anything beyond writing that post :P
-
Oh, well... still. lol
Anyway it wasnt a meaningless bump. I was just trying to get this noticed again to see if anyone has made some kind of progress.
-
Im still up for helping put this together... but its up the the replica builders to pull the rest off first ;)
we have more rep builders then ever lately so I am sure this could get done
-
Oh yeah. I should probably learn how to BFE a chassis in if I ever wanted to build FlexyFlier (and probably Mechadon as well). XD
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65000springbreaker.PNG)
there's a pic of the side and back of Spring Breaker, if someone wants to do a replica. It has a very shallow wedge in the back.
-
I'm still game, I've just been busy w/ other stuff. Fintastic is just Snookums with a shovel-head flipper instead of an arm, so you can add that to your list.
-
Thanks Badnik! I needed a picture of Spring Breaker! Now, I can at least replicate the art on it.
