yeah, you guys think that it would be possible to find the beta? maybe in some old THQ site...
If people found 7 Sonic 2 betas, they can find a proto for this game.
Good point- hopefully that might just be the case here, too. I mean, apart from the somewhat wonky physics, it appeared to be more-or-less complete.
if he made stuff for ra2 as well you might finally see that cassius 2 rep

Another thing I noted...

Efficiency? In my IRL?



...You are mocking efficiency, then why are you using a mix of the most efficient weapon components for your weapon and efficient batteries in an "IRL" bot ?

Also why does that bot has only 3 ant batts when it needs 5 to be correctly powered IRL ? 3 ant batts = 3 spin motors, even if the game tells you otherwise, IS one of the hallmarks of DSL realistic.

Also why is the weapon's axle floating in the air without any support ? That's not IRL because in real life the belt would just fall, with the weapon as well.

You call yourself an IRL builder and mock efficiency but yet still build with DSL standard efficient building techniques ?

Adding wheelguards, decals and not using metal hinges doesn't make a bot IRL. An IRL bot is a bot that would work in real life just like AND just as well as it works in the game, with the exception of glitches,

Ok, Noob Bashing 101, Naryar.

If you're going to insult my bots for being rubbish, don't give the green flag to other robots that are worse off than this. That's called being hypocritical, Naryar, and you seem to have a quite a knack for being so. I mean, if you're gonna give THIS merits:

(Image removed from quote.)

For having a cool-ish chassis, and yet completely and utterly rip into mine when they are clearly two opposite sides of the (ZX) Spectrum, I might as well give up right here.

Also, TBH, I actually couldn't care less about 'Hurr fully powered' or not. It has 3 batteries and it works fine, and changing it would acheive nothing.

I used the efficient components for a reason, Nar. I was trying to demonstrate that efficient components are only efficient when used correctly. And as such, this robot's weapon is absolute crap.

The axle is floating in mid-air because 90% of the time the majority of the weapon's mass is inside the chassis, which would make the robot's belt support be the actual chassis, rather than additional extenders.

I never mocked efficiency, Naryar. I simply said that more often than not Efficiency and IRL mix like a black man at an EDL meeting. And are you honestly trying to tell me that there haven't been underpowered bots IRL? Is that really what you're trying to tell me, Nar?

TL;DR:
Get Out.
first, my bot was just made for a bit of fun and to have the irl feel that 259 had which is evident from the name if not the look.
second, nary probably knew this and if you had seen the post after that you would have seen that i tried to improve on the design while still keeping the IRL feel rather than having a rant at nary for giving constructive criticism
