the robot wars arena with a see saw ramp, a giant ball, a pendulum gate made from car doors, a ball release made from a car front, stacks of metal barrels and targets made from tires... anything I missed?

Well, with all this talk about lagfest, why not make a version which has the "lag fest" stuff in it, and a seperate pack for non lag fest stuff?
Plus, i would love a gauntlet, but im just me :)

There is something much more important that your billions of arena ideas...

...Editing the Piglet description and clearly state that they are not suited for driving purposes.

If it isn't made yet.

EDIT: as well as all drive motors being categorized as drive motors and all weapon motors categorized as weapon motors.

Could you put a Cassius 2 replica in there?

Let them learn on their own.

Also, Some person could make a super awesome bot by accidentally mixing them up.

But we have to repeat over 9K times "NO PIGLETS FOR DRIVE" in newbie showcases!

I have a question (this might be considered bumping): what do smartzones do?

Pwnator · « **Reply #310 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:04:20 AM »

Lurk, dude. :P

Smartzones are for AI'ing purposes. What an opponent or any of its parts passes through that zone, your bot's weapon system will be activated.

Natef · « **Reply #311 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:11:32 AM »

Oh, they were talking about that earlier.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #312 on:** June 28, 2009, 08:22:32 AM »

we were talking about modified smart zones all AI bots with flippers or poking weapons have regular ones, they can be placed anywhere and intersect anything, we were talking about changing them from being 0.1 kg to -400 kg to make super heavyweights

how about larger razor tips

Sage · « **Reply #314 on:** June 28, 2009, 09:00:37 PM »

Few things:

On the side panels, the thinner ones for the larger discs are heavier for some reason... need to reverse that.

The background of your bot (where you actually build it) is a gradient from dark gray to shiny silver. This makes it much more troublesome to cut out your bot for a splash. If you could make it a flat color, it would be much easier.

The Max Sphere is invisible, but it's still there. It hampers our building when it says "Robot cannot exceed max size" but you can't see what the max size actually is.

The big black battery is so tall it's almost impossible to use effectively. Would be nice if you could add a side attachment point.

Besides being a little shorter, the T connector is pretty useless with the new extenders.

The little shark spikes are way too small.

Why are there two APs on the yellow and black skirt hinge? couldn't you just have one in the center?

I'll come up with some more things later...

I think there should be a new way to self right.

For example, if i had a bot with wheels on the botttom, then i couldn't move when i was flipped. The new way to self right would be able to attach a flipper or piston motor to lift the roof up so we can get back on our wheels.

The Max Sphere should be larger IMO.

That new Razer looks Bloody Brilliant! Could we also see demonstration videos of the new Minion, Typhoon 2 and HypnoDisc? They'd be very interesting to see in their new personas-I particularly like Typhoon 2's new look. I suppose you could pit it against the original Typhoon! = )
