Nice driving with Dark Al's bot.
(Image removed from quote.)
Peep those numbers. In all honesty, I'm glad the RA2 devs had the foresight to give a sign as to whether robots are AI controlled or not.
First of all, I have a few points that needs to be clear up on Malleus and how it struggled to move before everyone decides on the "Shield is manually driving/rigging" the tournament conclusion that Geice and some other users had being pointing out. During when I was manually controlling Malleus in the test lab. Malleus show signs of having a large turning circle, the result of this was mainly due to the gyroscopic effect of the dual perms for Malleus' weapon. This isn't a problem when the weapon motor is off, but when I hold down the "Spin" button while turning the bot 45 degrees, a similar effect happen in vain to IRL bots similar to Sunshine Lollibot. Due to this, everytime when Malleus turned in large bursts such as turning 90 degrees sharply in any direction, the gyroscopic effect kicked onto one sides of the bot, allowing one of the law enforcement bot to easily get under Malleus and hitting Malleus around. Why Malleus struggled to move forward was heavily due to the position of the front plows and back, extender protection of the bot itself. If you looked carefully while watching the video, the front protection was completely low to the ground due to the Skirt hinge I used to put the extenders for the two front plows and the skirt backs, you did see that Malleus did move, but that only when the wheels were touching the ground and the plows weren't preventing the bot from moving forward from the plows being so low to the ground due to fears of having bots getting under Malleus. This may look like Shield wasn't moving the bot itself, but trust me if honestly wished to download the bot itself and tried to drive it, you'll see that the plows prevent the bot from moving far, unless the weapon motor was on and you have the drive moving forward. The same problem will occur even when you do drive it or AI the bot.
Nice essay So you got SHIELD to drive your bot because you ****ed up designing it and didn't make it stable enough. Seems totally fair.

>DSL-S in DSL2.2 in [current year]
I know, right? Shame I suck at extenderbots.
It would be nice to actually see the bots rather than see your RA2 postage stamp collection
Sure - any robots that you're particularly interested in seeing, point them out, and I'll upload a full-sized image and description.
All of them I guess. The 3 heavyweights in particular.

And only the best time counts.Honestly what's the point of even including the VS in the tournament if you can only get a good time by having it suicide? To ensure unlucky people can't win regardless of their bot-s quality?
wait do the fights not get like added together or something
IIRC it's only your best time. Total time would make this situation a lot less ghey because it would reduce the impact of wins-by-anomaly like this On that note; Shield, you really need to put the results SOMEWHERE.

Aaaand that's this tournament ruined in one fell swoop
"i'm not going to win so the tournament is ruined"
"The tournament winner has all but been declared 3 bots in due to only having to fight half the bots of everyone else. That's not fair"
Doesn't really have the same ring to it does it mr strawman?
he only won one of his fights, the other two he lost pretty quickly. it seems feasible that someone else could do similar

why the **** would you leave in a run where one of the bosses kills themsevles without even touching the challenger bot? Having the VS knock out the Rammer for TGM was bullsh** enough, but now it's impossible for anyone else to win unless they too get lucky enough that the VA just kills itself
Seriously, you need to re-record matches like that where the challenger gets super lucky in a way that other challengere can't hope to re-create.
This is Karma for entering Paladin in LvD1 and TGMRW.

I've just been working on it for this morning, so I don't have sound, good models, effects, or any fancy stuff yet.
I think I remember some folks on here designing robots in blender (or maybe it was just autocad?) If anyone wanted, they could shoot me some blender models.
Great, inspirational work here! Nicely done!
A very cool project that's also very dead, unfortunately.

Great to see you here! If you have any questions related to bot building, making a showcase should be your first move. If you're not interested in making bots in RA2, but rather on driving and battling them, you shoud take a look at the RWRA2 mod, which fills RA2 with a ton of realistic replica bots and arenas, which is what you're looking for I think
Enjoy your stay here :)

And you really, really should do this all in one video, or at least upload all the videos at once.
Counterpoint: if you do this, the video will be really long, and I will not watch it. If you upload a bunch of videos at once, I will only watch the one I'm in. If you spread out your videos, I am more likely to watch all of them.
anyway rip in piece dark al
ye thats fair.

Don't put the time in the video tab, put it in a results spoiler. And you really, really should do this all in one video, or at least upload all the videos at once.

Would benefit a lot from a skin or something, it's more bland than a packet of uncooked spaghetti right now

lul the arena isn't compatible with 4 bot matches

I think the curved arms are super cool, but the chassis is super bland and boring. Try and give the chassis some character.

Not sure if I'm a fan of the vertical flaps at the front, looks very cool otherwise. What would be dope is if you made those vertical flaps into little front-facing flippers. I understand how this would be impractical, though.

Is the arena publicly available for download?

Real-life featherweights are 0.1363 times as heavy as heavyweights, meaning it'd be closer to AW in RA2 than BW at 109.04 in-game kg.
I don't recommend using a 110 kg weightclass for the tournament, I'm just pointing this out.
I’d argue that IRL IRL HWs are closer in power to RA2 IRL SHWs
