Because It's a great foundation for building ideas.
So its basically just a showcase...

thathasgottobethefastestbotevermadeinIRL.
It could be MEME from Kix.
Oh yes, the bot, the myth, the legend MEME Honestly not a huge fan of Rocketship (still a gud bot), but i love Nitrite

Thank you all for the nice and kind comments, i was kinda regretting when i posted this because i always had that feeling that comments are gonna be "theres literally 28329 of these tutorials" or "instructions unclear, accidentally sent my body pillow to japan", which was a thing because i thought i haven't explained it fully. Again thanks!

OBS might not always be the best choice, it can struggle to record on low end systems... I would recommend bandicam, but it has watermark on top https://www.bandicam.com/downloads/you could prolly edit out the watermark

This tutorial is going to show you how to move chassis points that you usually cant move in ra2Will try to make this noob friendly You will need:Notepad++BrainTo start off, lets make a bot that is going to look like Apollo From Robot wars
This is as far as we can go in ra2
NOTE: The points that i Highlighted are gonna be the same position, and if i lower the points next to them that are highlighted green, i will get that sloped design that i drew
If you want to move the chassis points you will have to be in test robot section
Now you open up notepad and search for lines that have 3 number values (these are reference lines, yours will be different)
You are asking yourself, what do those numbers mean? Well, they are locations of collision and display mesh of the bot
Now to understand those numbers, here are pics i made
The centre point of the grid in ra2 is 0, The distance between each line in the square is 0.22
The best way of moving chassis points is to have a screenshot of both layers of the create chassis section
now i want to move the pink point to the blue point. To do that i have to figure out the location of the bot
We first need to locate the first X line of the point. The pink point is left so the value is going to be negative. The point cuts the -0,88 line so our first number is going to be
-0.88 Z Y
To locate the third point we again need to count down from the middle, and in this case the point cuts the -0.66 line, So the value is
-0.88 Z -0.66
The point we are going to move to has the same X and Z value but the Y value cuts through the -0.88 line
To find out the second value, we need to find out the chassis/point height
Now we know that the point is on the second layer of the area so the line will NOT have 0 as second number. How can we find out the chassis/point height?
In the 3 number values lines the second value that that isnt 0 is the height of the chassis/point, all of these lines that i selected share the same line
So the 0.78 is the chassis/point height
The line we need to find in the bot lab is:
-0.88 0.78 -0.66
So the line we are looking for is repeating 3 times
Why? It is simple, there are 3 meshes in the bot that game calculates
So to move the whole point we need to move all 3 meshes
So lets do that, by moving the Y points in the lines from -0.66 to -0.88
Exit the test bot area and:
The point is moved. Lets do that to the other side, by doing the same tactic of locating the points
Before moving the middle part, lets lower the parts that we moved before
locate the values that you previously moved (in this case -0.88 0.78 -0.88 and -0.88 0.78 -0.88)
Lets lower the second value of these numbers to 0.31
And done, the only thing left is to locate the top front points and move them back, again by finding out the location (in this case -0.22 0.78 -0.22 and 0.22 0.78 -0.22) and moving the Y location to -0.88
After we have done that it will look like this:
And we are pretty much done, hopefully some of you guys will figure this tutorial out, if you have any questions just ask me.
Enjoy

You have more no votes than yes by far margin... Its just tthat this tournament is uninteresting and that that Screenshot part is what made most people to vote no. Best way to improve is to try andd host challenges to see if people can trust you and your recording/hosting/editing skills
Sounds good. I just can't seem to find good splash editing software these days. All I can say is- I'll do my best.

New bot.
5 mm. Steel, 799.8 kg.
Only weakness is it's slow. REALLY slow.

I'm guessing those are regular NPCs, and for the flipper just use armor panels because those are too heavy
Flipper spikes prove more wedgy than armor panels, but I'll look into using an armor panel for a flipper. I'll also see if I can fit another battery in. It flips just fine, but the idea of using an armor panel seems to be a better choice.
Ok so for the best wedge you need wedglets.the best way of doing it I found is by getting metal hinges and attatching wedglets to the hinges. The hinges need to be the ones that can have the angle controlled. I'm not very good at explaining it sorry
I like metal hinges. Great idea.
I think I'll develop another flipper featuring wedgelets and a flipper made from an armor panel. (mainly steel)
Go aluminum so the flipper can get better flips, steel is tough but heavy so go for aluminum
Not always best, for wdma midlarge/larges use TI/Alu mix

Oh yeah:
Lighter flipper = more fragile, more powerful
Heavier flipper = more durable, less powerful
