Sure, I'll enter this tourney. I missed the last one since I wasn't around for it. >.<

Although I'm a bit confused on this rule:
   
  • Stock MWs only, all custom components including skins and all cheatbot2 parts except the Flamethrower are banned. AI Parts will however be allowed, including 140cm Extenders.
Are you saying that flamethrowers are allowed? If that's the case, then you will have a lot of bots with flamethrowers and it's unfair since they flames count towards the score while no other weapon that attacks it does and because of that, Flamethrower bots will be overpowered.

And while the stacking rule seems strict, everything else seems fine.

*cricket chirps*


Nothing? Okay then. You can enter two robots maximum and their is no limit on robots I can receive.


Now I will focus on various announcements for the rules whenever I plan on them.

Discussion / Re: RA2 playing time question thing.
« on: April 13, 2015, 06:31:57 PM »
Well, I pretty much try to build what I can whenever I can and whenever I have an idea. I do things in RA2 to cure boredom and try to have some fun with it by building bots and making mock and real tournaments. I always try to come up with something, even if it's innovative or generic and try to ignore the game's faulty physics and taking advantage of them as well as hoping the game doesn't screw me over at those times. It's still a playable game in my opinion, don't get me wrong, but it shows it's 12 years old at this time and how aged it is. I do what I can with the game before it rubs off me again. Even though I have fun with the game, I probably wouldn't recommend this game to everyone since its mostly a time killer.

General Support / Re: How to safely combine DSL 2 to DSL 3?
« on: April 13, 2015, 04:22:54 PM »
They aren't meant to be combined. Some components, like the wheels are completely changed from their DSL 2.1 counterpart and will not work the same way that they would in DSL 2.1. I think this is what Click is planning to do in DSL 2.2 in the future.

Pics please? I'd like to see what you did differently if better or worse.


Anyway, two bots using Amnesia's chassis:



Left: Rebuilt that Tick clone from a few pages back, but now it's improved. DSA? Check. HPZ's? Check. A Black? Check. Forklift for armor since I had weight. Hmm... I got a bad feeling about that.
Right: I made another hybrid out of it. Generic, but I at least filled the hybrid quota I was aiming for. DSA and the works.

That's not a bad start for your showcase, but here's a bit of pointers to help you for the game:

First have the weapons face in one direction or at least in a manner that will be effective. For example, if you take a look at Absolute Chaos from BBEANS5 (or any of the HS's), you can see that the weapons face in a direction where they attack for a specific bot type or used effectively. Secondly, try to attach the weapon motors and drive motors on a SnapperII so that you can have more weight to spare for better components for a HW. Thirdly, you should shrink the chassis to where everything is airtight and you can again, lose weight and use it effectively. Lastly, upgrade the batteries to two SuperVolts. One pink will NOT last  have you last long enough in battle.

Those are some tricks I can give you if you want to improve. I just hope you understand some of these concepts for improvements. There are also a handful of techniques that you can use to improve at the Beetlebros website. Here's a link in case you haven't found it already: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm

I'll enter. I don't think I've ever seen a stock CW tourney.

EDIT: Also, I'll see what I can do about finding the DSL bots and putting them out.
Hey, welcome back! *chuckles nervously* How are you doing?


Anyway, I started Losers Round 2, but I will be out for the next few days.

Thanks for helping me with a hybrid idea guys.



Obvious clone is obvious. :P 396.0, 1 Black, Plastic Armor. Not exactly happy about that last feature. I probably could rebuild the chassis to shrink to be airtight so I can attach DSA, but I doubt it would work though.

Edit: I just realized the razors on it's left tribar are facing the wrong way. I will fix that.
