Sorry for double posting, but since noone is responding might as well.  :vista:

I saw Vulture and I just have to do it.  We are entering a new meta.  Spinner and hammer combined for insanity.  This will be my main focus as I'm refining it.  I have a better idea on weapon set up and chassis set up, just need to find a tournament that allow few CB2 part.

Honestly I would like to learn how to ai.  I went through all the links and read all the documents, but it's challenging.  Something like a clear video tutorial would be nice.

An example just now, I did all the step by step, but it still doesn't work.  I have missed something, but since the document doesn't say if this happens, then do this.

Zhuge?  To me, that bot stands out the most.

Getting back into the game and I'm still figuring out how to ai.

A bot in the making.  Orange Is NOT the New Black.  I'm just showing my project and get some ideas on how to make a support for the weapon.  I will increase the chassis size to fit the wheels, but I'm more focused on the weapon support system.

Made a minor changes as I go.  1 minute isn't enough so I'm changing it to 5 minutes.  It starts as soon as you enter the chassis build.  After the time is up, you can then add in skin, wiring, etc, but you cannot go back and edit something within the chassis.  We'll probably start small with 8 or if enough interest then 16 so I can figure out the ai-ing and tournament set up.

As far as FIRE (f*ck it, real enough), it was something to help out since I kinda want to use the IRL style, but I know that takes time.  It was something to ease up on the IRL rule.  DSL-standard is a possibility.  I'm a bit iffy on stock.  I don't mind doing it with stock if everyone wants it, but it'll have to be no spamming weapons.  Don't want another popup meta.

As I'm slowly getting my life back on track, I'm in a good shape to be part of the community.  (First off, thank you guys so much for your supports)  I had this idea and I'm not sure if it has been done before.  What if I host a tournament, after figuring out how to AI the bots which I may need some help with, with the requirement that you must record yourself building a robot in one minute.  Weight class will probably be middle or heavyweight, and FIRE style.  The minute doesn't include the wiring session, just the building.

(Changing rules as I go)


Rules:
Middle or Heavy weight.
FIRE or DSL-S.  No cheatbots.
Component freedom is allowed.  IRL packs is allowed.
The robot must be recorded with a timer on screen being built in 5 minutes, not including the wiring process.
Uuhhh... I may forget something important.... help me out with this.


Sooo... what ya think?

It'll be a simple wedge bot.  It has been a long time since I touched the project.  I'm not in a good spot to work on it as I'm trying to change job and getting ready to go back to school.  It will be a IRL RG.

Thanks everyone.  It was a pretty s****y things to go through.

Maybe if you had overcome your frustrations and really tried to help her, she would have lived through that night and you'd still be together.
  That had been bouncing around my head for the past few days.  Every time she asked me for help, my selfishness prevented me.  There were a time period where we were completely happy.

This was when she took me to Disney on my 27th birthday, the first time I went to Disney and I live about an hour away from it.  Depression hit me that morning, but we were able to overcome it and went out to have a blast.  She does put up her half of the relationship (she is an amazing cook), it was my selfishness that neglected it.  After realized it at some point, it was too late as she was already back in the drug deeper than before.  If I just calm myself and think it through, she could be alive, and we could've been back on track once we established on how to get ourselves treated.  Now, it was too late.  I'll be gone for a week on a trip to the other side of the US and clear my head and move on.  Her funeral is 18 hours from now and I don't know how I'll be able to handle it.  I was the last person she talked to and it wasn't a pleasurable one.  Still kicking my own ass.

I made a post regarding my entrance that I will reskin my bot, but lost complete focus.  The reason is I'm going through some major emotional event.

I moved in with my girlfriend (her favorite robot was Razor Guy which she called a Christmas Tree Bot, and she rooted for RG in Robogame) last October and we have been living together happily for few months before her drugs got in the way.  She had been huffing air dusters, and had been for more than 8 years as her mom told me.  This leads to few arguments and few frustrating moments.  It wasn't long before her habit got worse and worse.  It gotten to the point that I gave up on her, and didn't bother trying to talk her out of it.  Last January, We missed rent and it caused stress for her.  I found out she stole money from the rent pile to pay for Uber to Walmart for, you guessed it, more air dusters, and I told her that I'll move out if we missed rent.  When I found out that I got angry and yelled at her and told her I'm done with our relationship and I'm moving out.  I grabbed my expensive stuff and move back in with my mom.  This was 3 nights before I found her.  The next night I checked my bank statement and saw more charges for Lyft, and of course, I got even angrier.  I stormed back to the apartment and yelled at her and grab more stuff and left.  The next day, I went to work, planning on getting the rest of my stuff and be out of her life.  As soon as I got off and started heading back to the apartment, I had a change of heart.  I wanted to sit down and talked with her and apologize for my action.  I went back the apartment, knocked on the door.  No response.  I texted her.  No response.  I'm trying to see through the window which is connected to the bedroom.  Barely see anything.  Our cat was freaking out and pulled down the blinder and I got full view of her... frozen... half covered by blanket.  I immediately called the police, they came in, busted down the door and checked on her.  She already passed.  The night before Valentine's Day.  She overdosed.

For a long time, I blamed myself and kicking myself.  I was so down on myself to the point that I've been thinking about suicide, because I cannot live with a guilt.  I cannot shake off the fact that it was her blood on my hands.  She made a choice, a choice she wouldn't make.  I blamed myself because I felt like I made that choice for her.  I stressed her out so much that she was driven to overdose herself.  It was a terrible thinking, but I can't shake it off.  I'm going through a major emotional even and I'm trying to move on from it.  This sucked.  My life sucked.  And I'm trying to shake those thoughts out of my head.

Due to the unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to reskin my bot.  If you want it to be that ugly color is fine by me, but if you want to pull it, I'll be ok with that.  Going through some emotional issues and lost complete focus.

My pro-mod on the left, and my standard on the right.

In all seriousness, I don't own a car, but I use my mom's Honda Fit for transportation to outside of my city.  I just walk to wherever I can.

Gold Digger!  First time I build part of the extender bot.  I'm getting used to the set up and what works and doesn't work.  I am aware of the spaces, but this was made in a rush to make it in time for the GTM tourney.

Startprogramm.png


Startprogramm.  My first full extenderbot.  I'm still getting familiar with the set up, and I'm experimenting with the weapon set up.  The launcher is at 20 degree.

If there's enought interest I can make a standard RG in each weight classes from AW to UHW (Lord help me...)

Continuing my showcase!  Sorry for a long silence.  Been too busy with work and such, but now I have time for show off here and there.  For the Swiss Knife tournament, I knew I wanted to weaponized RG, so I rebuild him with a modular set up.  So far, I have the main rammer set up, flipper, and SPINNAAAH.


Also... any way I can upload the image better since the uploader is gone?
