Well in that case...

I am going on holiday soon, and I will build without the internet. (And that means no copying peoples bots).

When I get back, expect some kind of large update or something.

But enough about me, who likes Ice Cream?

Some forums I have been on ban inactive members for some reason, I don't know why.
I just wondered if it was 'Bots or GTFO'

Oh wow. I have totally forgotten to post anything in my showcase for a while, if I leave it too long, do I get banned or something?

Also, I might start hangin' here a bit.

Alright, thanks for the advises on the bots. Advises... is that a word?

Anyway, I have been using other peoples showcase ideas to... well... steal ideas. To put it bluntly.

I might try building my own without copying.

Why does that look almost exactly like one of King Mushroom's Havok bots? Again, the similarities between you two are just uncanny...

Guess whose showcase I have open on the other screen when I made that bot...

Yep, I am in the process of making my own battle music for videos like this. Heavily based off of the RW outro music.

I went away wanting to build a better flipper... but then I kind of made a really fast box on wheels with as many spikes as possible. It does the trick, its the first bot I have made with the ability to KO anything by killing it outright rather than flipping it over the fence or upside down.

I also made a video because... well, because I could.

I would like to enter this, although I will probably get creamed.

Welp... chassis rebuild here I come :/

Wish me luck in fitting a beta in something so low again, I had no idea how I did that, it sorta happened!

So... I wanted to enter a tournament, and all my existing bots were kind of rubbish. I tried building a rambot for it, but I kind of forgot to add any kind of self-righter.

So, I made this.



Armour is Titanium 3
Ant batteries are counted to be at 21.

If any tourney this is for is Thyrus'.

Nope, the batteries sit above and below the axes inside the chassis.

>Conraa
It kinda wobbles from wheel to wheel, doing so with a high speed disc is... catastrophic, to say the least.

Cool, I have done most of the changes to Beheader, but it still stands on end (I kept the axes though!).

How can I not make it bipedal?

Sounds simple enough, but when I was looking at one tournament rules I saw something about "AI-ing" your bot.

I know what this means, but I have not the slightest clue how to AI, is that vital for a tourney or will the host AI a bot if the sender can't?

Sorry I haven't posted here much, been away a bit. But while I was away I experimented on spinners.

I built one horizontal spinner and one vertical spinner, both completely useless :/

This one is called Reliant... because it falls over a lot.


5 ants
Titanium 10


And this one is Beheader, because of the cool axes!




However, it has one ~minor flaw...


4 ants
Steel 10


Also, I would like to enter some competitions here to give my building an aim, but I don't know what ones to enter or how. :/
Is a newbie like me allowed to enter or do we have to wait a certain amount of time.

I am looking for inspiration to build more flipper bots that have the ability to 'throw' opponents rather than 'topple them over'.

Where could I find some top 'flight' flippers?

Doing so now.

But I don't understand how it was working fine for like, a month. And only within the last 3 hours has it been derping like crazy.

While I do this, is there any other AI packs out there that are more geared towards realism than DSL. I mean, its good and all but... yeah.

(Can you even install new add-on packs I don't even know)

Alrighty.

But now I have another issue. The game randomly crashes within the first 2 minutes of starting up. The window flashes white and fades out to not responding. It then closes.

It is impossible to do anything with the game doing this, is there a fix?
