So if you're moving robots to different weight classes, are there going to be brand new robots to fill in the replaced MW and LW ranks? (Ziggo, Hazard, T-Minus, etc.)

I might, but it's been such a long time since I did anything in RA2 that it's unlikely I'll make anything worth competeing lol

You built Feedback for BBEANS 2 right?

hahaha yeah, that terrible 'realistic' design that was completely ineffecient. I'm just so unwilling to draw a chassis over and over again to get the best use out of space that my designs end up horribly inefficient :P

Whoa, it's been a long time since I booted up RA2 and DSL and I have to say that this is pretty awesome. It's nice to see that the RA2 community is still going strong after all those sites went under :P The new Minion looks great btw!

Some notes, although these are all probably obvious:

Chaos 2 is way too underpowered right now, and could also do with a speed boost. I'm hardly able to flip the shrederator ring in the test area.

Biohazard's flipping arm works weird. Sometimes it will flip normally, but other times it will revert to it's self-righting mode (where the flipper fires in a Firestorm-esque fashion). It's also pretty slow, but that seems to be because the flipping arm hugs the ground so close that it raises the front wheels. He also seems kinda small, in length and width, in comparison to the real Biohazard.

Beta, frenZy, etc. all have some havoc attacks pretty often, although there's probably nothing you can do about that.

Vladiator could do with some more speed.

iirc Tornado's wedge version isn't in the previous version of DSL, but it's been awhile so I think I missed something.

Firestorm's front wedge is terrible, and I have a hard time actually getting under almost all other wedges.

Shrederator has a hard time doing damage, and a hard time 'throwing' robots. He could also do with being made a bit bigger.

Tazbot's AI can't self-right

Dominator should be a little bigger

Hypno-Disc should be a bit thinner

Panic Attack needs to be faster. His turning is also pretty bad at the moment.

Storm II's flipper is super annoying. Is there some way you can get him to use it less, or maybe make it fire a little slower? It hardly flips things anyway, all the AI does is keep your wheels off the ground and works more like a puncher than an actual flipper.

Everything else is alright, although I may get back on this later. I haven't had a chance to play around with the LWs again, so although I know there are some issues (Pussycat is going to be made a HW as far as I know so that probably won't be a problem, and if I remember correctly, SlapHappy was probably too strong) I can't really comment on them yet. Like I said, this is probably obvious stuff but I just want to put in my two cents

I also think that the Monopoly arena and the Pyramid arena should be put into the tabletop category.

With the Pyramid arena, there should be some indacite (A line etc.) as to when you have gone too far off the Pyramid.

The Cave arena should be shortend down for less lagging, or taken off the tourny list.

But all in all, the replicas are excellent.
Also the level of realism that you have added to RA2 is incredible. I think you all have done an excellent job in trying to make a game as real as possible. It is almost nothing like the orgional game.

In my opinion, I think that there should be some more motors that are lighter. The lightest motor currently is the astroflight motor, but thats the only one that is light enough to make decent LW's with a weapon.
