Off-Topic Discussion / Robot Wars and BattleBots Toys/Merch Thread

« on: March 02, 2015, 05:42:44 AM »

My dad and me had some trouble putting a new dishwasher into an empty space under the counter, no matter what we did, it looked crooked in its space (a corner was cocked out) when I went under the counter to see the problem, I wasn't expecting to see this:



Which makes me think, as a kid I don't think I collected ALL of these, did anyone on GTM collect all the minibots?

Also, what was your favorite piece of Robot Wars/Battlebots Merchandise?

General Support / Custom AI Teams (HELP!)

« on: February 23, 2015, 08:55:06 PM »

I followed JoeBlo's simple tutorial (from 5 years ago) without any mistakes, yet my Robot Arena still crashes on startup

(Basically the exe loads, shows the "Infogrames" logo then it crashes)

Yeah, might need some help on this one.

General Support / Upload screwup

« on: February 02, 2015, 06:39:58 PM »

Call me a 'panicky poo' or a 'worry wart' but I've uploaded an Ironforge MW into the DSL MW category...

Yeah... I think calling myself a derp at this point is sort of... Underestimating my stupidity.

To be honest this thread is probably going to come back to bite me on the behind.

Stock Showcases / Tibsy's Failcase

« on: February 02, 2015, 02:18:58 PM »

Right, bout time I did this. Now be warned I am not very good at stock, and advice is recommended so I can progress to make bots for you to uhh... Embrace?

Well anyway I'm going to start off basic with my first lightweight popup!

DSL TC Showcases / Tibsy's DSL Amalgamation (Showcase)

« on: January 28, 2015, 10:01:14 AM »

I decided to stop neglecting DSL and start working on some bots to show off.
Be warned! I'm not as good at building bots on DSL as I am on Ironforge, (well tbh I'm not even good on that LOL)

Well, to start off being totally unoriginal in terms of ideas.
Here's a Beetleweight version of Raven: Squawk! (Which I have entered in one of Badnik's tournaments, though without the Typhoon spikes!



Adorable, but just as deadly. I reused a skin for Raven which was created by the talented Lemonism! (thank you!)

Ironforge TC Showcases / Tibsy's Ironforge Showcase (Never gonna let you down)

« on: January 22, 2015, 03:34:28 PM »

I've finally built up (what's left of) some confidence to showcase my bots I will proceed to create.
Note: The bots shown are either meant to look good or just there for fun, I'm not really a serious Ironforger lol...
(any creations that look similar to other author's are purely coincidental, I don't steal other bots)

Anyway, here's my first bot, Raven:

Discussion / Some advice needed

« on: December 26, 2014, 04:38:40 PM »

I'm familiar with Robot Arena 2 in terms of the game but not with the cult following that it has accumulated.
I've looked at everyone else's bots that are an amalgamation of spinners with spikes and such and after seeing all the AI Bots made by the members of the community for the DSL or Starcore packs makes me lose faith a little when building my own bots which all seem to be just wedges with flippers and axes..

I need some help on how I can improve my building skills, anyone with any advice?

Cheers - Tibsy
