short, medium, and long. they should work fine from my limited testing, but no guarantees, and I probably won't fix them if there are any issues

was going to wait till I had the piglets and other motors done, but to be honest that's probably not going to happen. it's just a waste of time at this point with how the game/community is headed
Remember when said that i was going to do piglets or something?
That was an epic joke

Crashes?  Uhoh!  Where are crashes occurring?  Can you replicate them reliably?
Crashes occur mid match. How to replicate? Hit a bot. Idk if its the Robogames arena or the game, use the 2 bots i sent. If you want the arena, i can PM you the arena, as its not really planned to be released as of now so i wont post it here

163
Some feedback i suppose:

The gyro has improved by a bit

The hits are kinda still underwhelming and i still feel like the hits are delayed/not happening, the horizontal shell i made dishes out no damage, idk if its the speed or anything, but i guess i can drop the botfile.

The self righting with the disc is not working at all, when it hits the floor, it just slows down to a halt, ant then the motor overheats:


Also the game is more unstable, crashes are more often

Finally gave the build a proper go, and not a fast check.

So about the bite. I feel like there is a delay between a spinner's tooth collides with the opponent, and when the opponent is sent flying
Gyro is ok, not the best, but im sure that it works like that in irl

Ive seen that titanium is added ingame, its all there for placeholder or? Atm It has no sparks unlike real titanium which sparks like crazy (its all about them spark effects that are melting the cpu)

I cant seem to break parts off, i assume damage is off because of the experiments with the spinner bite and gyro

This is far away from what i wanted to build.
I was planning to add details, but eh didnt really want, due to lack of motivaion, doing other stuff, working and going to therapy sessions

If you ask, i started on this bot back in mid april. Made the drisc and that was it till recently

So why not just remove the green screen
Didnt even hae the intention of posting the bot at all

tl dr
we send mail bombs to the community elites
I am an elitist. Or at least, that's how I will be perceived by the grand majority of the rabble that uses this website. Of course, I'm not actually an elitist, I'm a young man and a huge fan of IRL building, and certainly not your average "fan of IRL" that gets the giggles whenever insert generic zoomer releases their newest compilation of trite robots. There's many, and I do mean many, people who build IRL robots, millions and millions of people everywhere around the globe, they all build robots one way or another, on their phones, in the car, at work, wherever and whenever. But only a very small percent actually build robots, and knowing how to build clean and unique and compact robots is something that many never learn, and will never learn, simply because they aren't smart enough, or because they have an immature mentality, or because they are trying to impress others with sheer volume of known records, or because they use IRL as a background for other things (Yes you can do that, but then don't try to tell me you actually built something special, because you didn't get sh** from it), or because, or because, or because...

Or, because they don't know what IRL building is all about, and that still baffles me, how some manage to not understand that IRL building is all about... IRL building! Just building.
 
This is all nice and all but the fact that you left out the Armenian genocide was not very cash money of you

like seriously 2 dsl hammers on the end of your bot completely nullifies any horizontal spinner not using dsl hammers of its own. like i get its supposed to be the strongest weapon but i think its overpowered.
However what youre forgetting is that most tournaments dont allow that stuff

Tip: you can do texturing in blender, its such a less hassle than ra2 skinning

I've tried it before and it's always been a bit of a faff.

Idk, ive just used the UV export as an overlay in paint.net, and it did well, that is until i gave up when i did spawn again

I've also been working on a Centurion (s4) replica but I've temporarily stopped because it's a pain in the arse because a fair few of its texture map equivalents are at funny angles.

Tbh this was more of a one in a year design, might make it in rr2 where i can make it not sh**

Disc was supposed to be smaller actually and was intended to not have a gap

Front is designed to not be attached to the chassis, but to be bolted on with spacers (idk i cant explain)
Also its all extenderbot so eh, skinning is a no

One thing you could think about adding to the game is being able to place one wheel in both ends of a belt or chain system. If I have a motor in the back of the robot for an example, and I'm trying to make a 4 WD, I can't place a wheel in the back because the game won't let me. And another thing, is is possible to use only one battery for all motors in a bot? IRL most robots from lower weight classes are powered by only one battery.

1. They are planning to add the feature to attach more than one chain/wheel to the motor

2. I think you can use a splitter to do that

Not sure.  It might be for an engineering camp this summer.

Oh, i thought it would be sooner, but gladly its not as im busy, and will be for a couple of weeks.
Hosting a tournamet via parsec may or may not be a problem, depending on the ping/input delay, as if i were to host, i would be hosting from EU. I had success hosting to US people so im not that worried.

The plan is to run the host on the computer at the college.  They have a VR gaming PC and a high-bandwidth connection.  Everyone, including the host, would be within the same city.  I just wanted to know what sort of issues we are going to have if we start advertising this as a thing that people can do with the game.  I would love to open it up to students, but I'm a little scared of the logistics -- parents would be paying money for the experience, and it needs to go well.

Honestly there are 2 worst case scenarios
1. The client has a weaker internet speed than it is required and the input lag/visual lag will be very large
2. The client wont be able to connect to the host, which itself can be resolved by resetting the router of the client (idk if that works all of the times)

Maybe a test hosting session?
