Discussion / How to play with downloaded bot designs

« on: February 26, 2010, 10:59:50 PM »

I have just downloaded the DSL AI bots pack from the downloads.  Is there a way to play as one of these bots?  If so, how?

EDIT:  Nevermind, after doing some more digging I found the answer.

Discussion / Getting More Power out of DDT Burst Motors

« on: February 23, 2010, 04:32:49 PM »

I'm working on a robot that looks like a big crab and it has these arms which I desire to use in a sort of crushing action with axes or any other of my favorite blades on the ends.

I know that spin motors can be stacked to gain more power, plus the addition of batteries, but is there a way to get more power out of the burst motors besides adding more batteries?

Running two DDT bursts with 4 Supervolt batteries and as many pink ones as I can fit.

Thanks.

Discussion / Preventing Damage to Axe/Hammer Handles

« on: March 05, 2009, 10:30:33 AM »

Well it seems that every time I strike a robot with a hammer or axe, the extenders they are mounted on take damage.  Now I would expect this to happen in real life as well, if you're swinging a hammer hard enough to damage an armored robot.  But this isn't real life is it :-D  Is there a way to prevent damage to the hammer's extender while swinging it?

I used to use the square extenders, but the red round ones seem to be more capable of taking punishment.  All are 120 cm in length.

Modifications / Control Board that can be mounted on the side?

« on: March 02, 2009, 10:47:47 PM »

Hello, I'm just getting back into RA2.  The last time I played and patched this there was an additional attachment point to the control board, one on the edge of the board.  That was patch 1.2 I believe.  I have the NVidia 1.3 patch for CD users on my installation.

Does anyone know where this component went?

Any help is appreciated :)
