Getting the balance right on this one was fun. It's fast and hits quite hard.

General Support / Flamethrower crashes RA2« on: March 15, 2009, 12:00:57 PM »
Here's the odd part, in my components folder, the only flamethrower text that shows up is for Bob's Flamethrower(which is a cheat component)
The txt file for the competition legal flamethrower is missing entirely as far as I can tell. It's also not there in the downloadable dsl components pack. The txt file for the stock flamethrower also appears to be gone. Edit: Magnet, Stock flamer, and hoverengine all crash the game too, cannon doesn't. E2: Replaced all components and components.cfz with the DSL2.0 files, flamethrower still crashed the game, which means it's probably something else causing the problem. 1004
General Support / Flamethrower crashes RA2« on: March 14, 2009, 04:04:58 PM »
Might be due to me changing a file that I can't remember the name of a long time ago to show all components(includes stock and bot specific parts) causing a conflict somewhere, but whenever I try to pick either the flamethrower on the weapon select page or the one listed under bob's parts it crashes RA2.
Anyone know which file I modified or have any suggestions for fixing the flamethrower? 1005

the threads feel decently strong. I'm not *too* worried, as they're right in the middle of the "If I get hit here I'm screwed anyway" zone.

Use a 50cm disc and load it with small, light high concussion spikes. (Maybe the Hardened ones) ![]() They're not that bad, actually. 1008

Diesector is likely a renamed Karkas 2, which has the jaws and 4 wheels but lacks the hammers. Sub-Zero and Breaker Box likely got an armoring up and some extra power tossed at them. The Emily that was entered as a MW was a 2wd wedge, and judging by the pic of 2EZ used for the HW profile, it's either a multibot or they've built a HW version of 2EZ. 1011

Sounds like me after putting 45+ rounds through my M44(russian mil-surp rifle, 7.62x54r, 180ish gr.)

25 is a very good turnout for HW's these days.

Team Whyachi just shipped the last of the chassis components for Mr. Self Destruct.

yeah, apparently the wedge dips below the chassis briefly when the weapon fires

It's essentially an optimized version of Yog-Sothoth from my first post in the thread back in '06

I'm pretty sure the snapper's just to set the wedge. The real world version of minion doesn't have a flipper(assuming you don't count the sri-mech) 1018

Half of my reason for going is to watch the HW tournament: http://www.buildersdb.com/view_bots.asp?eventid=281&classid=7 'bout a quarter is to do well enough to hopefully get funding for a MW build if there is a next time. Last 1/4 is because I want to see if Apollyon/Interstellar Overdrive can beat a couple of 15lb shell spinners 1019
Robots Showcase / Near Chaos Robotics« on: March 05, 2009, 10:05:02 PM »
15lb variation of Apollyon is going to be named Interstellar Overdrive.
1020
Robots Showcase / Near Chaos Robotics« on: March 05, 2009, 06:10:26 PM »
Waiting on a rules clarification. If things go the way I hope they will, Apollyon's getting reskinned and renamed to compete as a 15lber at Battlebots.
