Okay, I like Simon, but RoboShark absolutely nailed it.
1964? Geez, Acams, you ARE old. Then again, I remember watching such classics as:
-UnderDog
-"Da Moose und Skwerll"
-Hong Kong Phooey
-Hanna Barbara
-Speed Racer (got that whole DVD set!)
-Schoolhouse Rock
-Wheelie and the Chopper Bunch
-The ORIGINAL McDonald's commercials, with Mayor McCheese, Big Mac, Hamburglar, Grimace, and the little guys that looked like oversized Koosh balls with high-top sneakers.
-H.R. Pufinstuf
-Wonder Bug
-Get Smart

a little something just for Acams .........:
An Israeli doctor said to a medical conference,
"Medicine in my country is so advanced, we can take a kidney out of one
person, put it into another and have him looking for work in six weeks!"
The German doctor stood up and said,
"Well medicine in my county is so advanced, we can take a lung out of
one person and put it into another and have him looking for work in 4 weeks"
The Russian doctor got up and said "My country is even more advanced,
we can remove half a heart from one person, put it into another and have
them both looking for work in just 2 weeks!"
Not to be outdone, the American doctor stood up and addressed the
conference,
"Well" he said "My country is so far advanced in medicine, we can take
an Asshole out of Chicago , put him in the White House, and have half
the country looking for work in 24 hours!"

This particular arena is going to be built more-or-less like the DSL Garage, ramps and all, with platforms between each ramp. That's where you get to fight the house-bots. Along each level is a "power-up" to help restore a little energy to your bot (as we all know, fighting takes a lot of power). The general idea is having enough juice to make it to the top and into "The Box" to fight your last opponent. Still needs work, but Mad and I were thrashing this out for a good month or so ....
Barrels and crates can be transported into the Junkyard arena, too - more stuff to trip over and boot out of the way. I know I have a map someplace i made of what I think it should look like on my other computer, so I'll see if I can dig it out.
Mad, what do you think about having a welding torch someplace in the arena to act as a mini-flamethrower?

Well, we already have a lot of the stuff built:
-The Compacter from the compressor arena
-All the junk in the DSL Garage
-I like the rusty trophy idea ........ will have to play around with that
-The heckraiser doors from the Octogon arena, stood on end and against the wall instead of the floor
-Any of the components being used in the game could be left laying around
-My Sears battery (Woohoo!)
-Additional thought for the Compactor: make a ramp similar to the DSL Garage, and have it leading over the top of the compactor. Useful for pushing bots over the edge and into the slammer .....

Looks like the junkyard arena idea is winning so far, and it's not like we don't have a lot of the parts built already .... Guess it's time for me to fire up several of my digital manipulation programs, and see what we can get going here.

Ideaa 2 sounds like fun. Gonna put a cowboy hat on that Acams bot ......? Maybe send me the skin so I can put a little red bandana over the lower half of the face? May as well go for twin holsters on the sides, too ..... the "Bandido Bot"
. o O (I am going to be SO dead when Acams sees this ......)

It's okay, just means it resembles a previously-made bot. It's pretty difficult to come up with an "original" bot lately - someone will always be saying, "That looks like [insert bot name here]" or something to that effect. My very first tournament robot was unknowingly almost the exact same design as another robot found on the bot exchange - the only major difference was in the weapon system.
As they say, "Plagerism is the sincerest form of flattery." Seearch the forums, find some bots that look interesting to you, and see if you can more-or-less duplicate them. Study how they were made, and learn new techniques. Practice often, and don't be afraid of trying something totally different - you may surprise yourself with what you can do.

Trial and error, mostly. If you zoom all the way in on the round extender, you'll notice it's not exactly round, more like octagonal (eight sided). You have to first place a piece, then touch another piece to the side to find out which direction the attachment point faces. Delete the one you first placed, create another and set it in place, but DON'T attach it yet. Do you remember what direction the attachment point was facing? Okay, now rotate your piece, all the time watching where your attachment place was, until you get the point set facing the direction you want it to be. Now click and attach your piece. check the attachment point with another piece as noted above - if it's not in the right place, delete it and try again. it takes time to learn, but this is how all the top builders do it.

Did anybody bother telling this guy that to use the hover engine, the flamethrower, and the cannon, you need to have an air tank in your bot.....? I didn't think so .....
