making fun of autists: the thread.
Say what now?

Also, I JUST NOW realized this whole thread was designed to make fun of my Lego Bot Wars series. I can't believe I didn't notice sooner.

The whole idea of the robot is that it's bland, generic, unassuming, and kinda lame, that way it comes off as sort of a surprise when it causes a fatal accident.

You wouldn't expect a robot that boring looking to be so dangerous, would you?

It's not dangerous because it has a single spike, not because it's bland
Wait, wut?

yes, the actual threat of a bot is linked to bot design, not aesthetics
Ah, that. I see. Yeah, having a measly spike doesn't look to dangerous either, but I do recall a story from Robot Wars about a competitor robot who was armed merely with a pneumatic spike, and it caused some health and safety issues with that weapon alone.

I should've also mentioned that not only does the bot not LOOK dangerous, but the design itself isn't that potent in general either, which makes the incidents that surround it all the more strange.

Here's another one, Black Dagger:

Bio:

“Rumor has it that this robot is cursed! If you wanna know why, here’s a list of all the incidents related to it:

1: He stabbed his owner in the face during construction, destroying half his frontal lobe and causing permanent brain damage. It was so bad the owner’s brother had to take over the team.

2: His first 2 opponents broke down in his debut tournament, and he went berserk halfway through his first fight! We had to send in another competitor robot into the arena to stop him.

3: He fell on a pit crew member’s foot, crushing it completely.

4: It’s weapon fired off during maintenance and stabbed someone in the abdomen, even though the robot was turned off! (This nearly got us shut down)

This bot already passed safety inspection before, and it has again. Some people are skeptical, but others are worried about what misfortune this bot will bring THIS tournament.”

Recyclopse
(Image removed from quote.)
Theres only one other Recyclopse rep and its from 2011
that's a pretty cool replica!
you know what would be a cool bot to replicate? Anarchy!
(Image removed from quote.)
Is that your way of asking for a replica? Again, that's a taboo on here...

...buuuuut, I DO recall making a replica of Anarchy years ago, and it was pretty damn good. I lost the botfile though, but here's a pic of it:

Custom skinned parts don't count as Custom components.
Really? Over the years I've been here, custom-skinned components were always considered a type of custom part. If it's something that doesn't originate from the version of the game you're playing, even if the only difference is just a skin texture, it counts as a custom part.

I've believed and stated this and so far nobody has disagreed with me. Ever.

this one it's another interesting design that hasn't been done here.
maybe i'm wrong but it seems that dutch robot wars bots aren't really noticed here.
Resetti did this one before, but it was a LONG time ago.

Speaking of OBJ, I'm really enjoying this after just learning it and should hopefully be able to pump out a lot of decent replicas. And actually skin them at some point. Maybe I can make the shapes and internals and Cinghial make the skins, deadly replica combo ;)

Edit: Splinter is done now.

Epic!

Damn dude, you're showing some PROMISE!

You remind me of myself when I first came to this forum: Building replicas left and right.

It will be nice if you had reference pictures for obscure bots. Good recreates.

yeah i know. sadly you can't import those in RA2. so you have to improvise or move from game to image browser.
that's why i got Crazy Coupe 88 wrong, i didn't checked image references often.
also here's the original bots
https://robotwars.fandom.com/wiki/Flirty_Skirty
https://robotwars.fandom.com/wiki/Spectre

next one i was going to do was Shapeshifter, but after seeing a lot of interesting bots in this category i'm kind of undecided
https://robotwars.fandom.com/wiki/Category:Robots_which_lost_their_only_battle

this one could be interesting
https://robotwars.fandom.com/wiki/Rot_Box
Can't you just post the pictures themselves? Rather than post links? It's more convenient that way.

Also, good Rot Box.

Crazy Coup 88 can still use some work, but Mastiff looks great!

Made Shredder. Happy with how I BFE'd the red discs into the blue and especially how I BFE'd the chassis shape.

(Image removed from quote.)

Oh, also I made Apollo but haven't skinned it yet.

(Image removed from quote.)

And same situation with Firestorm, not skinned and the flipper glitches through the floor so will replace that at some point. Edit: changed the flipper to an armour panel.

(Image removed from quote.)
They're pretty damn cool, I'd love to see you create more such as
classic Robot Wars Competitors:
Chaos 2
Hypno-Disc
Storm 2
Thermidor 2
Dominator 2
Comengetorix
Ming 3
Spawn Again
King B Powerworks
Thor
Terrorhurtz
R.O.C.S.
Pussycat
Hellbent
Behemoth
Dantomkia
Panic Attack
Diotoir
Kan-Opener

Battlebots:
Valkyrie
Lockjaw
End Game
Bite Force
Ultraviolent
Razorback
Stinger
Son Of Whyachi
Poison Arrow
Death Roll

King Of Bots:
Vulcan
Saber 2
Switch
Whirlwind
Two BBQ

They will look awesome if you decide to create them.
Robot Wars Reboot:
Concussion
Vulture
Androne 4000
Apocalypse
Asking for or even suggesting replicas is frowned upon here.

Just thought I'd let you know, since you're new. ;)

Can you make a video of them working? I'm curious on how the first one works.
Unfortunately I can't make a video, but, I can give the bot file. The shuffler is easy to handle, but the walker requires patience, and again, tends to malfunction. But it IS capable of working sometimes. It turns fine, it's just moving forwards and backwards that's difficult.
It's awesome you made a walker and shuffler. I think I will copy the mechanism on DSL using DSL components for a different bot if you are comfortable with it, and then put the walker or shuffler I made for PVP or something if it's available
Sure.

Here's the bots:

Thanks!

Here's a make-shift walker design. It CAN function, but sometimes doesn't. It's really finnicky.

(Based off a DSL walker bot design I made years ago.)

Also made a MUCH more functional 4 pod shuffle bot.
