That thing owns, I'd better build a good bot for RAW.

Yeah, but look at that weak armor... it sounded like plastic.
well it should win it's next match, in the loser's bracket.

I don't know why everybody feared that T4... This wedge doesn't looks that efficient and he has more ground clearance that HazCon.

Sadly, we're only two Frenchies to compete.
Well my favorite (other than mine) five bots in this tourney are:
System Flailure - I love the originality of Click's tournament entries. And the name too. That weapon's just awesome. Too bad this is unstable.
Ham-mer Sandwich - Now this is a hammer. Powerful- very. Decent defense. Good wedges. Not too slow. These plastic extenders aren't that vulnerable.
Enfilad 3 - A really great popup. Did heavy damage in the first round. Nice defense.
No Name 12 - "Juggernaut" is a good analogy for that bot. I don't want to fight against that spear. Too bad it is that slow.
Slasher - Cool-looking, and that drum looks dangerous. Neat wedges.

Mad's right, but as always smooth-tongued. (hiar, hiar, hiar)
I would say: These serious bots need SERIOUS improving. But every newbie does improve with the community's advice (look at Somebody and me). You definitely need to improve your bot building if you want to compete, but tourneys are really fun once into it.

A VS means Vertical Spinner, and you can look in my avatar to see Nightmare in the greatest hit in all of mankind! No way. The greatest hit is Nightmare getting one-hit-killed by Son of Whyachi. Although the SlamJob hit is a nice one. For examples of VS, you have several of my bots, but most importantly all the mini-Makos in BBEANS 4.

I would suggest making just a thread for the bot exchange, with everyone posting to send a link to their bots (just use the GTMs file uploader)
Making eventually only one post each, for having the bots classified by builder and updating it (adding a new link) when a new bot is added.
This, at least temporarily.

Very well guys. Here it is, for your convenient looking at: Altar of Flame

Reskinning components is extremely simple. But not for all, because some have their colors coded on the written code.
You go into the Robot Arena 2/Components/(insert component folder name here)/Maps and you have a nice .BMP (or .TGA) file to mess with.
TGA's are harder to mess with than BMP's, but your component's main skin must be a 48ko 128x128 BMP or TGA, depending of the component (discs have .TGA format because of the transparent layer needed to skin a circular component, but saws aren't like that, strangely)
But, if you tweak a small CO2 tank to contain more gas for the same weight, this is considered as a custom component, so cheating.
You can also stack CO2 tanks (at least small ones) and not get a huge chassis.

or you could just use paint and save your BMP's as JPEG's.

Well it messed up my teams too when I deleted the Rookies in DSL.
I think it's just a matter of how you delete the team. perhaps messing with the Teams.txt after having removed the team folder...

What do you mean by "just for fun"? Even SnowJob is better than this.
Ah and if you like huge chassis, and huge wheels, it's your choice. But good bots generally feature just the opposite.

Well I should send my VS by tomorrow.

Piglets are weapon motors - they have much max speed but less torque. Less efficient for driving.
-You need some more battery power. This is UBER underpowered. Add at least a red battlepack.
-That chassis is too big.
-That weapon does look too powerful for a LW. And the morgensterns are very high, you'll have trouble with flat bots like Biohazard or undercutters like Cleprechaun or Hworf.
-Change the drive motors. Use Astroflights or DRIVE Magmotors.

This arena favors rammers...or popups... but no, won't build one.

There is an antweight arena on the BeetleBros website.

Well, RC would get owned by a popup and would have big issues against a VS/hammer. especially if the hammer is well armored.

The piston bot is a very good design for the stock RA2 I remember that Click told you this when you posted your first piston bot. Well, yeah, try a VS. Or a popup.

No offense, but there is a thread called "DSL Looses One of Its Main Members" where Darkrat said that Lu-Tze died on October 3rd, 2004
Edit: Sorry for the DP Heh! I fell in the same trap than you before realizing my mistake. Lu-Tze is one of Sorrow's bots. A fast VS with a damn heavy weapon on a tiny disc. It is in his DSL showcase.
