This really was a throwback.


Not battle tested (or skinned) but it's basically the same as every other HW VS I've ever built so eh.

I'm aware, but then why post it? There's nothing anyone can say about it really, if you get my drift. Not trying to rain on yo' parade, post what you want, but youknow.

I'd generally avoid showcasing bots like this that contain cheat and/or stock components (eg HP Z-Tek, RAD motors, DarkCells) as they just aren't balanced against any other bot (in fact, Stock components are generally weaker than DSL components).
And then the usual advice of unrealism and building to the weight limit applies here too :P

DSL3 as such is becoming DSL2.2 very very soon as far as I'm aware and as such may involve a whole load of new components and/or balance changes, so it's probably jumping the gun to write anything quite yet.

I can't be asked to do Ironforge i'm sorry I can't be asked

What Ironforge is literally just rebalanced DSL

No it's not?

but I can't do Ironforge I just can't.

Why do you keep saying you won't try it? I mean if you don't want to that's fair but you make it sounds like life or death.

But yeah, make sure your bursts are fully powered amp-wise, then 4 ants for the drive. Plus Micro wheels suck and you really need to pick a weight class to aim for - MW is 400, and HW is 800. 415 makes it a super underweight HW and therefore will be hugely outclassed by heavier bots.

i found out sparks paired up with franz ferdinand (the ****??) recently and i must know what that sounds like im going to check it out soon

It's a pretty interesting mix, definitely like a mix of the 2 styles rather than both bands going somewhere completely different. Totally works though.

Also rep'd for you Conraaa :P

With DSL 2.2 coming out soon, I figured it'd be cool to do a final DSL 3 tournament.

General Rules:
- DSL 3 Heavyweight
- IRL realism
- 16 entrants max
- No joke bots
- You can change/update your bot(s) as many times as you like before the deadline
- It would be appreciated if you AI your own bot(s), but I am able to do so
- You're allowed to enter up to 2 entries
- These are the bots I will be entering:

This is a bot I affectionately named Phil. Phil is not very good. Don't be like Phil.

This is Lil D. An ever so witty friend named it.

Match Rules:
- 1 v 1
- RA2T#2 Arena, reskinned courtesy of Redace

- 3 minute matches
- Double elimination
- Should the match last 3 minutes, the winner will be determined by me
- If a bot is to havok, the match will be restarted. Three consecutive havoks leads to disqualification

Building Rules
- No weapon spam or tryhard bots- keep with the spirit of IRL
- No trov glitching, hax mode, etc
- BFE allowed for aesthetics- any BFE that gives your bot an advantage will be rejected.
- Multibots allowed
- Component reskinning is allowed

This is now a signups topic and the rules above may not change. You have 3 months :)

GTM AWARDS 2015

That time is here again. Let's do this!
In the last year I've run this on a point system allowing honorable mentions to count for something, but this year, only 1 vote per category.
Votes are to be PMed to myself. You can vote for as many awards as you wish, it'd be great if you could vote for all.
No self-voting, and any obvious 'troll' votes in any field will result in the entire ballot being void, as per my own discretion.
Voting closes at 1PM UTC on 1st January 2016 - Closed!
17 Votes Received.

Replaced most annoying with most naïve. Thanks to Marty for that suggestion.

Also yes playzooki is nowhere near as bad as the old days. Might even have a shot at most improved.

Nah, it's definitely a problem with dsl2.1's events.txt, this is what you need:

After applying Mad's fixes, I did a quick check for both the events and everything seemed to be working. Here is a fixed Events.txt.

The thread in the quote explains the changes and stuff. Thanks to Trov and Mad.
