I make evrything red because my name is bloodys

Yeah I know that’s the name of your profile but it doesn’t mean you exclusively need to build bots that are red. My user name is poke but I don’t colour my bots an ugly skin tonne to represent a finger poking something
what do you have against red??

I'm not so sure under armor would help that much against vertical spinners. Gutripping ones for sure. Otherwise... well, the big spinners will just flip you with a hit and make your under armor only absorb a small fraction of the hits.

actually it might be pretty useful. crushing teeth take forever to get rid of a dark armor panel

i am serving some fine sparkeys at my new culinary establishment
chef kissing fingers.jpg


let me introduce you to our choice cut #1. prime seasoning, a blend of fine herbs sauteed in garlic with a touch of rosemary.

they were right. it totally did not come soon.

an alternate dish you ask? very well. this one has a tart aftertaste though it is no less bold. the lightest hint of lemon.





what's that? the health inspector is shutting down my restaurant for recycling rump roast that is ten years past due? well nuts.

Sun Bear (Geice): if i cared about winning i would have entered one of these ;)
i mean, you sent a wedged gutripper with the exactly the same weapons. that's not really any better chief
yea im a bad boy. i guess i meant i would have built one. i had NL lying around and i didnt have to do anything :mrgreen:
but bold claim about wedges. wedges are a huge gamble
all I'm trying to say is that for someone who hates wedges, it seems odds that you have a hateboner for the handful of meta designs that don't rely on wedge rng and can actually counter some gutrippers. i don't deny that they're uninspired or unoriginal, but they're not invincible insta-win designs with no counters
?
i dont hate wedgeless VS nor did i say they are insta-win
i also don't hate wedges. I just don't like how random they are. you pretty much just roll a dice when you stick wedges on for how good they're gonna be.

(post your splash on the front page too champ, it'll get buried here)

predictions

Alien Pitchfork (Kid Delta): Looks fast and tough but I think it'll get deweaponed easy and just kinda spaz for the rest of the match.
Chop Chop (Botbuster): holy nuts that looks unstable. i feel like it's not even going to get super big hits in because it looks difficult to hit anything with the weapon with how far forward the treads are. I kinda dig it though for some reason. nice paint job obv.
Dragonfly (Kelimpel): its getting there but i still think the weapon placement is real clunky and will hurt it. the wedge looks really bad. i could still see it do some decent damage.
Golden Eyes (Cringey): i think this one is getting there too but it's a bit strange with some of the priorities (like the super heavy plows that probably won't do much?). I think it will get deweaponed quickly and have a very hard time keeping opponents on the narrow wedge.
Grill Snake (NeonCalypso): i could see it doing well in the combat arena. one of the stronger entries imo. no weaknesses that are too glaring.
HUGE (NH the introvert): points for effort but i see it doing poor damage even if it gets people up that real janky wedge (which won't happen). is it underweight?
Iron Beast 2 (MNB): looks pretty solid but I definitely would have lowered the plow strength and gotten more weapons on there. I also really question the logic of the saws. I think it looks good though.
Iron Ostrich (Hard Bot): haha i like it. the damage will likely be pretty poor and good lord that turnspeed but it's a fun idea. i hope it does well. hopefully it doesn't lose by points.
Killswitch (Thatdiscord): simple and solid. could do more damage if the weapons were angled up individually though imo. at least you rotated them, it should help. good weapon count too. gets my approval.
Nuclear Load Vega (Reier): wedge might suck who knows. i should have entered something more zany but i was lazy and didn't want to build anything original  :dumb) winning ai battles in ra2 is basically a coinflip anyway I should have done a crazier entry. oh well
Osprey (8bean): get em beano. i still think it's too tough and not damaging enough but its not bad at all.
Ravage (Sickle Robotics): I could see it do well too (lots of jugglers my goodness) but I think this one also needed a weapon position tweak. it can't hurt to angle them up either. you could also get a lighter plow and use the weight elsewhere. still not bad at all.
Sharp Shadow (Badnik): i think this one could be really dangerous. or the wedge will fail. time will tell.
Sun Bear (Geice): if i cared about winning i would have entered one of these ;)
Tracker (Plerco): basic but solid. not a lot else I can say. probably would have helped to widen the chassis a bit but I doubt it'll be too much of an issue.
Bone Jaw 2 (Nary): i think it looks pretty good old man. not sure you need that many sickles but i doubt it's that big of a deal. i'm looking forward to seeing it fight. i think the hammers might be amputated pretty quick though against all the jugglers and VS and stuff, I hope it has the sustain to win with just a ramming rack.

Yeah I didn't think about how the bot would need to fully deweaponed before the plows would break so a downgrade would help a lot weight wise. Also if its flipped it kinda hobbles around on the weapons if it gets high centered on them so it won't get counted out unless the hammers and tribars are ripped off
you could potentially add on 30kg hammers but i'm not convinced hammers are all that amazing in IF (on spinners anyway). you might wanna use smaller tribars or disks and try a chained weapon setup like this but that would make it a lot more bumble happy since the individual weapons are easier to take off.

yea it needs ballasts imo

i would lower the plow strength and use it for more weapons mainly. you also don't necessarily need tracks (they're heavy) but its your call. looks pretty alright though. does it die if flipped?

118
sent
sorry about the bot i entered

119
i'm a bit worried that this might get stuck in a stupid way, and while i see that you have taken steps to reduce that, i'm not sure it's enough. like this might get stuck on it's side if you push it in a corner.
possibly but i think that the back of the treads can still move the bot if that happens. i dunno though. i doubt its any worse than the other version and ive really never had it be an issue on that one.

banning SnS seems weird.
meltybrain ai is the single most broken thing in ra2 i can think of that isn't blatant cheating. trust me.
