Unless someone does something wild and crazy and hosts an unrealistic, anything-goes DSL tournament.
Actually that doesn't sound like a half bad idea... kind of like doing a realistic tournament in stock, but opposite.

Well, Mil and I always planned on hosting a such tournament. So perhaps if we can maintain interest until easter we will.

Here's mark two
still about 12KG to play with, I did put panic skirts on it, but I'm not sure I liked them.



I think I might prefer the first one

use the metal door hinges or burst motors

The first one did use burst motors.
out of interest is there a difference in wedgeyness between Hinges/skirts/bursts?

hahah. Everyone is being so nice and gentle because we don't want to scare Phlox away. (so much love... how can you stand it Phlox?)

So, uhhhh... I'll be the bastard and call out that the Irons pass though the motors which is a realistic rule no-no.  I think people are not pointing this out because they are scared of the possible scenario:

Random member: "OMG Phlox you noobzorz... You cant pass teh irons thru motors liek that!!!1!!"
Phlox:  "Augh! So rude. I am leaving GTM and taking all my shiny toys with me. You ruined it for everyone Random Member. I hate you. Buh-bye."
All other members: "You scared Phlox away! It was like the second coming of Jesus here on GTM and you ruined it."
Random member:  *cries*

Sooooo... yeah the battery thing was already pointed out and that will probably make you happy. Looks like a cool bot, just needs some tweaks.  Hope you share more of your work!

As far as I am concerned, if the game let's me do, I'm going to do it. DSL 3 isn't out yet, and if/when it does, I'll adapt.

The battery thing is new to me. But from what I can discern It seems more batteries still allow longer spin time. but with this in mind, i'm going to shrink the chassis to it's minimum.

Nice Heavens Sawmill replica.:P
But realism is favored in DSL.

Clearly I wasn'taround for BBEANS5 and Heavens Sawmill, but I think most will agree, CBincluded that the design has been done 100 times before, like 99% ofdesigns.

other than bats (which was very helpful) any other suggestions?

(on a second note, I think my sister has been here, there was an auto-login on her account.)

not sure if I've ever posted a bot on GTM before. Exciting new territory.

This is Robo JoJo, update of an old bot.

the steel extender at the back is the reminents of an old shrimech and shouldn't actually be there
I'm still fiddling with the design a bit, so could use some suggestions.

Red Red Green? was one of my favorite bots to watch in BBEANS4.  Didn't seem unstable to me.

This makes me smile.
I always thought VP was what I was know best for

I sort of plan on restarting work on the AI pack.
But I never comit.

great to see you around

also I would watch out for the crazed fans going nuts in the amusement section over your return 

but don't let that freak you out, we would love for you to hang around 

I'm pretty sure i've never been prolific on this forum, that was the sis' job, and the best bot I built was unstable as .
if they wish to fawn I suggest infinite, luigica and psyc.

Phlox! Good to see you back (and to have a bigger Welsh prescence than me again)!

I believe you need to download the 1.3 patch depending on which version of the game you got from here:

https://gametechmods.com/?do=Patches

This makes alot of sense. I have been gone too long to remember formalities.

diolch yn fawr

General Support / UI Problem.

« on: January 22, 2010, 11:27:28 AM »

I seem to have a UI problem somewhere, but I don't know why.

Just installed on a new PC.
My first thought is it could be that NVIDIA thing that happened a while back,
but to be fair I didn't have a NVIDIA GC then, so I paid little mind to it, but I recall it being just a DSL thing.
this seems to be universal.
this is also the first time i've used the game via my DVI monitor.

I am not a very good MW builder. i probably should have checked what the arena was like before i entered, this shall be embarrassing. Hazardous Contraption or T4 to win, the former fistly because of the name, and secondly because neglected waterbug is awesome. Observation: wasn't silvers last bot T2?
