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.

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?

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.

Lose the saws. They're crap in stock RA2, they're probably still crap in DSL. Use a 50cm disc and load it with small, light high concussion spikes. (Maybe the Hardened ones)



They're not that bad, actually.

Also, one of the Brazilian teams put together a great combat robot tutorial for all weight classes. You can get it here: http://www.robocore.net/tutorial

The aluminum chassis pieces arrived today from the Whyachis. Probably will finish up the Ti and Garolite parts friday after work.

Ah, OK, it's another event being run with BB.

Half of those 25 bots in BB aren't even HW's though, unless they've undergone some serious modifications.  Diesector?  Sub-Zero?  Breaker Box?  Emily?  Looks more like MW through SHW with one LW thrown in.

That said, there's a lot of bots there that I haven't seen in a long time.  In any case, the event should be good.

And I see there's even a Drumblebee in there... (well not exactly but close enough.)  I guess now I can never make a real life version of my possibly most famous RA2 bot.  Oh well.  Glad somebody did it.


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.

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

Been testing various LW designs lately since that's the class announced for BBEANS 6

Minion's rear wedge has a Snapper2-powered flipper.

Just check the bot in the bot lab.


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)

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

15lb variation of Apollyon is going to be named Interstellar Overdrive.

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.
