How come you're not using the action cam? It makes your job much easier when robots go into corners like Red Shift did.

I never put any effort into working out how to make things in gmod, has anyone got a basic robot tutorial type thing?
Robo said he'd be making a bot making tutorial soon that teahces how to make stuff like flippers, so it'll be more fleshed out than Mouldy's tutorial on how to make a simple rammer. Not sure when that'll be a thing, though. :P However, like Thyrus said, me and Robo would definitely teach you the ropes if you came onto the server at any point.

I'm glad the Conquest music will be a consistent theme :)

Granted, but it's a spork.

I wish I was the very best, that no one ever was.

Bot is cool, extender cage is really nice. Skin is kinda dull though.
To improve it, you could copy the black sections of the skin and keep them separate. Then change the simple grey to a grey metal texture, and then put the black parts back, but as an overlay on top. If the black doesn't stand out enough this way you can either play around with the contrast and brightness of the metal texture or duplicate the black text + edges overlay layer, and change the opacity of the top text layer until it looks about right.
This is all assuming you're using paint.net, though. If not, why not? :P

i use ms paint lol

mainly cause i dunno how to use anything else
It's really easy to get used to paint.net and learn all the tools. You can pick up on all the basics on your own in no less than 10 minutes at the most.

Tournament Archives / Robot Wars Series 8 DSL Edition - Awards
« on: May 28, 2015, 12:25:27 PM »

After a year and half and the ownership of the tournament changing hands to another host, the tournament has finally drawn to a close.

Huge congratulations to this guy:

Also, congratulations to
for coming in 3rd and 2nd place respectively.

Time for the awards (I'd rather get these over with now, rather than waiting weeks just for 5 people to vote):
Most promising newcomer - DragonSteinCole with Sir Lance-a-Frog (Other nominees: Lemonism and NWOWWE)
Luckiest robot - Tricerabot (for doing bugger all and getting to the heat final)
Unluckiest robot - Gravity (due to his flipper breaking before he had a chance to do anything - Other nominees: Reckoning and Tornado)
Flipping mad! (Best flipper) - Wheely Big Cheese (Other nominees: Flipping Frenzy 7 and Thermidor II)
Spin to win! (Best robot with a spinning weapon, apart from the obvious) - Blasteroid (Other nominees: The Thermite and PulverizeR)

I suppose that's all. Had to innovate a bit with the awards because the rest of the Robot Wars awards didn't match with RA2. I had a lot of fun with this tournament, albeit being a bit tedious and/or frustrating to edit sometimes.

1293
Oh yeah, I won't be doing grudge matches. The awards thread will be posted soon. I'll just wait until enough people have seen the final.

1294
And it all came down to this:
(just in case the thumbnail is a spoiler, I haven't embedded the video)

Congratulations to

I do think you're undermining what they actually are. It's like calling Hypno-Disc a generic rectangle box with a heavily armoured back with a spinner on the front :P

1296
Here we are, folks:

The Thermite: RedAce
Dradicator: Thyrus
Blasteroid: ty4er

This has been such a great tournament throughout though, you've done an amazing job :)
Thanks, man! Good luck to your robot, I really like it.

1299
Almost done!

Ruination: Lemonism
Bia: MikeNCR
Dradicator: Thyrus
Blasteroid: ty4er
