Anyone else think that we should reset Garvin's rep?

I've been repping him back up, he's definitely improved since his last tenure here.
Can I have some, too?   :gawe:
your rep should be rese- owait
Amusing. =P
 
I still remember when I had a high 40-something Rep with the old system. You could tell something was wrong with it, because I had the third highest Rep on the boards, and a higher rep than Clickbeetle.

but... I can have the burst motor wedges?

Provided you're building a flipper. If not, then you can't.

Oh. RWS8 says burst motor wedges are forrbidden. (Damn, now you know my sucky bots entering RWS8)

Excluding flippers. Everyone seems to be abusing that rule (including me :gawe:), but I'm pretty sure a rammer could do well. Although I'm not certain spamming weapons would be a good idea, it's sort of abusing the mechanics of the game a fair bit.

Dino looks tremendous. AW looks adorable. I reckon the other two could benefit from a good skin job, I do like how you've done the spikes on the axebot.

That jsut means you should lower the chassis. If you keep a close eye on the height slider, it needs to be five "clicks" tall for HPZ's to fit exactly. That'll make it invertible, and give you the room for both racks, then you could extend the weapon racks further outwards, make them wider to prevent being flanked.

nick fisher x ?

More or less this. It started out several years ago as NFXtreme, NF being my initials (Nick Fisher), before I truncated it to NFX to sound less noobish. Plus leave it to people imagination a bit more, like Scourge has shown.

Few things can be improved with this. You could swap for Shiny Hubs, which would save a lot of weight, and remove the wedges (static wedged are poor at best) and pinks to save more weight. Shrink the chassis up and add more weapons. Preferably a second rack beneath the top one. T connectors are fine here, a 20cm won't allow you to align the rest of them properly.

I've got one which is a bunch of arrows arranged to make an "N", an "f", and an "X" on top of one another. I've probably still got a picture of it somewhere.

Not sure how the Best Engineered would be given. Perhaps most efficient, or just using components in the best way.

Radius is basically how wide a berth the robot gives the hazards. 0.1 means it'll go quite close, about 2 means it'll keep its distance.

That's fair enough, I'm not that good at modding either. But that's just a problem inherent with the AI. There's not really a way you can get around it without doing something extremely complicated. Unless the radius thing works.

Hmm... There are 2 issues with the Arena...

1. Bots are not afraid the pit, and usually push the opponent AND itself into pit...
2. Filming Rumbles will be hard, due to camera angle...

Same reason bots throw themselves off the Tabletop. Because the opponent has not been "Eliminated" yet. If you raise the elimination zone, then it should class as eliminated as soon as it drops below the floor level of the arena.

Just gonna throw a quick hypothetical into this mix:
What would your symbol be, everyone? Mine would be lower case Lambda (λ)

Either the On symbol in my avatar, or a silhouette with long hair and white glasses.

I'm not worried about the rep really, it's just rather viable proof that Serge is a faggot, since he can find the time to rate me everyone down generally for disliking me, yet can't find a real reason for the downrate.

lol u mad

It took you two months to come up with "lol u mad"........right.  :gawe:

Sometimes the problem is that you haven't got the correct .py files. Say, something uses Popup.py, but you don't have Popup.py in your AI folder.

SZ I'm using are here, I think.

https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/Components/Combo_AI_&_SZ.zip

And if it crashes before startup, then it is some sort of AI problem.

PMbomb'd. Just out of interest, what happens in Sumo if you push EMERGENCY off the platform, drive off with it, but because you were underneath EMERGENCY, you hit the ground first?
Then you lose...
Right, take me out of Sumo then. Put me in for King Of The Hill.
