No you moron..... Hamachi IS NOT necessary to play on line, STOP giving bad advice, I hate that more than anything on this whole damn forum.
If you don't know what the heck you are talking about, then keep quiet!
I think he was talking about to join his game, in which case Hamatchi IS necessary.

Bull****. All you need is your external IP and port forwarding.

If you don't want wobbles make the weapons static.

Guys, let me explain this. There is only ONE extre segment possible:

Baseplate anchor -> extender -> Snapper2 -> 40cm extender -> 60cm extender -> Small wedge

As you can see, there is only one possibility, splitting up the 60cm extender into 40+20. I have tried this and all possibilities of the wedge in this "mode". It sucked.

Also, my new bot, The Anti Sage Thing! 398.9kg, DSA

Segment your wedges. The more segments you have, the more "HP" you have. (each extender is 200 HP, regardless of length.) OR you could use the 5kg 140cm square extender found in stock 1.4 and protect it with blades.


Also, nice job stacking baseplate anchors into HPzteks.

More segments also means longer wedges, which in this case make them much worse.

Scorpion, please fix the names to the real ones. In votes like these please write 123savethewhales and not 123STW and Squirrel_Monkey instead of SM.

I'm not voting because I have never played DSL and I wouldn't know who is good and who is not.

I would hope I don't end on zero :P

I would vote for you, but I have already voted for inf, Sage and NFX.

And for clarification, Favourite ≠ Best.

Yay a poll! Vote for your favourite STOCK builder ATM. You can pick three builders. I can't check it, but voting for yourself is illegal, please be fair and just don't.

I'm sorry if you're not on this list and you think you deserved it. I only included people who seemed active and decent enough.

And now advice from a better builder :P (though Madman and Jack are generally worth listening to)

I'm not?

No offense, but that bot's just horrible. I'll try and give you some tips, because you seem to lack the basics (once again, no offense).

First of all, weight is your enemy in RA2. If you use components that weigh less or use a lighter chassis that means you can place more components in your bot. I'm not sure what the weight of that bot is, but my tip is to always build to the weightlimit. That is 249,0 kilo's if you're building a lightweight, 399,0kg for middleweights and 800,0kg for heavyweights.

Leading from my weight tip I'm going to suggest a few things:
1. Make the chassis smaller, adjust the height so that the air tank just fits and place the second supervolt next to the other one.
2. Make the chassis as square as possible and don't use such weird shapes.
3. Use "Shiny Hub Wheels". They are just as good as your big rubber ones and weigh less.

Second of all, not all components in RA2 are as effective. Generally you should be using HP-Zteks for driving and for weapons on heavyweights. For weapon components usually you should only be using razor tips, maces and iron spikes. I can't help it, they are just the best in RA2.

After you've succesfully introduced these tips to your bot I will help you further :)

Format it using this tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml (not sure if you trust this link, just google HP Format Tool and find a source you trust)

And if that's not working bring the real guns with a GParted liveCD.

Looks D-O-N-E to me. I added you on AIM, btw. Is your screenname just nightcracker?

Your other bots were Grade A material; this looks the part too.

I didn't see your buddy request, my AIM is "nightcracker@nclabs.org", without the quotes. Or maybe you could PM me yours and I'll add you.

EDIT: My bot also has serious drivetrain issues of some kind, perhaps can I send you the bot and you can tell me what's wrong? It's really weird.

Ok, slightly different setup and now with Samurai swords. Do their job better than the snowplows, because they have the same HP, they deal damage (if relevant) and are much harder to hit (smaller target). 4.0kg underweight, 140cm wedges, 2 blacks.

Once again, what should I put my weight on now? I hardly think that longer wedges will help now (160 cm wedges anyone?), and the snowplows are wide enough. Dummy extenders?
