Ounce, Pwn? Anyone?

I'm alone...

(What, You guys spend hours stacking blacks, I just rebuild bots 8 times, AI them, fight them, then keep the best one!)

Who spends hours stacking blacks? It takes like 10 seconds almost every time.

Learning to stack batts can be quite difficult.

it memory serves the Ant Battery was so good becasue it was intended for use on ant robots? so they didnt have to waste weight on more batteries ?

just something to think about when working out balancing ?

If that's the idea, you can simply lower the value of X in the equation, and that will mean Ant batteries getting nerf as well (though others will probably still get a boost). If any 1 battery is > everything else, for whatever reason, then there are no point in having other batteries at all.

When you do QFTs, you normally quote the post you are talking about. Hence the "qoute" part.

All the previous updates have been building up to something, and now that the round tank treads and the axle extenders are done, I've finished the new El Diablo!

It's now a MW like the real bot, and it's also much more dangerous. The drum is low enough to hit any wedge that tries to get under it, and unlike a lot of replicas, it actually has a decent number of weapon components.

In case you're wondering why the drum looks different, it's based off of this version of El Diablo:

Next up: Firestorm. It's about time I started AI'ing these new replicas, and I decided the first team is going to be fire-themed and include Bob, El Diablo, Firestorm, and an as-yet-undetermined SHW (Alcoholic Stepfather?)

Click, that is brilliant.

Nice, CB. Very original looking.
Thought: Are you going to AI it to change the nose math.pi if/when the weapons are lost on the front?

Bah that`s gey!

Edit:
oh sorry for my bad english.. I ment: It`s Awesome! :O

I disliked the one in DSL 2 and 2.1 but this one looks great.

*bows down*

@ S32 - Stacking blacks is chicken feed. I rarely tweak wedges at all (probably because I usually use metal hinges) and stacking the CB in is where I take my time. :P

So we are going to be seeing Omni Wheels?!?!? Cause that is what Alcoholic Stepfather uses. If so, AWESOMESAUSE!

Somebody · « **Reply #575 on:** February 01, 2010, 03:06:28 PM »

So will the tracks on El Diablo actually turn (like will the texture turn) or will it just be stationary?

very nice, Click. I'm getting jittery

How about Sgt. Bash? If not, I think Alcoholic Stepfather would be brilliant.

Probably not, due to the 1 axle limit.
A component is only allowed up to 1 axle in it (like a motor) but unless Click can sort that out, i very much doubt they'll be an omni wheel made (unless its just loads of components :S )

Clearly the next step is to incorporate Achievements into Robot Arena 2 for doing all sorts of fun little "side" things like building bots and beating specific AI teams. :P

(Semi-serious semi-joking post, but if you're seriously interested I'd be up for brainstorming ideas with ya.)

I have a soft place in my heart for all-stock original robots but your replicas and innovations are always amazing to see, Click. :)
