Existing Games / Robot wars Extreme Destruction and Arenas of Destruction on windows 10

« on: August 22, 2016, 06:43:04 AM »

So when I tried installing these and running them on windows 10 in compatibility mode they just wouldn't load up or start, there any fixes or resolutions to get them working?

Real Robotics Discussion / Manchester 2016 event

« on: April 25, 2016, 07:21:24 AM »

So after having a fantastic weekend at robot wars Manchester 2016 after seeing all fights for both days I didn't record the results for the first day but did for the second, i've got lots of pictures and videos. The most interesting event was the second of the first day due to the crowd chanting PIT! PIT! PIT! at anyone who walked past or at all of the special guests (R2D2, Irontron and O-llie). A lot of the robots were definitely struggling towards the end of the second day but that was expected. I had a great chat with Team Beast John mainly. I have got over a hundred pics from the event and 21 videos. Only got to do 1 VIP event but it was fantastic would definitely do it again and ended up buying all of the merchandise I could besides a battle ant. On day 1 in the final fight between Ripper and Eruption Ripper threw Eruption out in 5 seconds.

Well I was meant to be getting a new pc today as my old one died a slow and horrible death :/ but it turns out that Halifax have a really damn good antifraud method so good that it won't let me buy my pc with my own card the cost is round £1,200 and I had to speak to a God damn automated machine for about half an hour which didn't bloody work.
These are the partshttps://secure.scan.co.uk/web/savedbasket/shareddetails/da22507dc56e4a12a5657b2e9f3c6a94 I have switched some of the parts around than what is saved there though. anyone recommend anything different?

Need some help with creative robot designs as all the ones i have made have lacked any creativity as you will see...

Robot name: Destiny Weight: 745.3kg
Notes: good pushing power and decent speed, weapon can act as a flipper, axe and can sort of grapple opponents. Have to get other robots on top of chassis before it can flip and cannot self right when on its side.
