How about some kind of rope (Steel, Titanium, Leather..?)
To atach different kind of weapons, But with a carry weight limit, You cant put more than 20KGs on the regular rope, But you can do it on the steel one for exmaple
Great for a new kind of Spinners :D

Weapons going trough Armour/Wedges (Sheets, Half-sheets, Plows)
Example: You have a Titanium Sheet and 20 razor tips going through it.

Customizable Motor Amp Sucking
Example: You have a NPC Fast, But you want it to be faster... But you dont have space for an E-Tek... You could make it suck like 30 amps (10amps more) and it gives more power.
And Vice-Versa;
You have an E-Tek... But you reached your weight limit... You cant put anymore batts, Well... Lower the Amp Drawing of the motors, Very useful

Rope-style weapons can be done to a limited extent; try using axles used for flailing weapons. Deadly stuff!

Well, If you suddenly turn your bot with a weapon atached to a rope... The weapon will go even faster than your bot, Making the weapon hit more than when you have a weapon atached to an extender..

Rope may also break and make a s00p4h pojectile of death!!!!! :icon_twisted::evil::icon_twisted::icon_twisted::evil::icon_twisted::evil::evil:

Sorry, guys. No ropes possible in RA2.
Can't do chains either (more than two links/restraint solvers).

Maybe a gmf with intertwined, bracelet-type rings....*new thought*.
Have to be tested...

Isn't that all a chain is?

Serge and I tried a 'restraint solver' type chain. But it glitched a lot.
But yea, RS, as simple as that is, no one that I know of has tried this yet.:Confused:
I've some hope that it will.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #327 on:** July 05, 2009, 11:32:46 PM »

I believe many combat robot events outlawed things that could snag or entangle in other robots, I think axles make fine flails

HurricaneAndrew · « **Reply #328 on:** July 05, 2009, 11:54:47 PM »

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that most real competitions outlaw nets, rope, chain, or cable as weapons.

Although Robotica did allow that kind of thing, and BattleBots limited the length of any chain or cable to 1 foot.

How about a variant of Serge's ball-and-socket joint?

That's the one that was tried; Serge got the gmf compiler to work with it, I did the gmf surgery(Restraint handlers).
But no one that I know of ever tried multiple interlaced gmf rings, without any pivot points (Restraint handlers)..... yet.

I am currently sojourning my progenitoral commorancy, or I wood a gitter done by now...

How about in this version you include some of the arenas from the BeetleBros. site and GTM, so we don't need to go through all the hassle of going through the process of putting it in the game (I don't know how to do it).

JoeBlo · « **Reply #332 on:** July 07, 2009, 07:26:01 AM »

you have to extract the rar or zip file and just copy and paste the files

Natef · « **Reply #333 on:** July 07, 2009, 03:51:41 PM »

Ok, thanks.

trumpetguy · « **Reply #334 on:** July 18, 2009, 07:04:14 PM »

Somebody may have suggested this, but I would like more realistic components from here.

I already have a few of those on my copy of the game, but it would be nice to have them on DSL 3.0.

The ai is thick as me in the Onslaught arena.
They drive into the pillers and sometimes the pit.

For once I actually agree with you.

Could you add more AW's/BW's? I love fighting them!
