Home page, downloads section, AI packs, DSL 2.0. And take a moment to read the Install Tutorial before.

Reinstall just the AI folder. Or all your game if you have no sav of RA2... Make sure you save all your bots before.

Hm. Clickbeetle said you can have twice the imput as output if you use only spin motors. Seriously, I was thinking like you before, one black batt for 2 HP Zteks, but look at some bots like Scrap Daddy's 8-HP Ztek drive ram (doomed lumberjack) which uses only 2 black batts. Theorically I'd need a nifty for this one, but this would involve a rebuild. And a difficult one.
But i found it fine. The motors work nice and the battery output doesn't decreases that fast.

For the Trinity Glitch... actually, AIing this one would mean a special binding file , but i think a flying bot AI (starcore 3) would be enough. (not sure on that one)... just the sit and spinner with one more command "when spinning, fire weapon"

... Of course! I didn't even think one moment to servo bursting spin motors! Well that was a pretty good idea. But I was thinking about switching the Redbirds to right angle motors and the weapon Ztek to HP ztek. Nevermind.

By the way, do you think that servo and burst-enchanced DRIVE motors do better than classical (non enhanced) drive motors? I was wondering that too when using bursted spin motors.

Thats really a very good bot. With that you could enter the next LW tournament... i guess.

A lightweight that time. I'm not used to lightweights, but this one's quite good. Especially good versus unarmored bots. Some kind of tricky against horizontal spinners, then opponent often ends alive, but with one wheel missing and damaged. And DS with no more weapons...

Dark Sun V3

Type: LW, Trinity Glitch SitnSpinner
Weight: 241.0
Drive: Twin HP Ztek drive on shiny hubs
Power: 2 pink batts
Weapon: Twin thwacking pistons with 2 iron spikes on each
Armor: DSA



+ Superior reach (when firing the pistons)
+ Good speed (when not spinning of course)
+ Very good damage for a LW (could sometimes go up to 2500)(when firing the pistons)
+ Extensive deflecting ability (same)

- Vulnerable weapons
- Big mobility problem: generally, when spinning after have fired the pistons, it cannot stop spinning and stays there. So it is REALLY a sit&spinner ... But it doesn't lose by immobility because he moves very slowly and randomly.

Very nice stacking job. Although redbirds and Zteks are not the best motors. But suit yourself.

(damn... HS everywhere...)

I cannot reply there too

...The problem is about deflecting a link to the official forum ("Forums" in the robotarena.com website) to another unofficial forum... Are you sure you won't have problems with Atari?

by the way you guys can delete the RA2 official website lin inthe main page... kinda useless now.

An AIed Hammer of Justice? Wow, must be a fearsome opponent. Do you think it's a match for DSL HW/SHW bots?

MW, huh?

Guess I'll give it a try (although forget about the VS I posted there. will perhaps make a popup)

Whoa. Im impressed. Even if I see some minor flaws in Cannibal I LOVE that design.

Very good bots, but Bonecracker's chassis is too big. And you could put some more drive power on these.

Good idea, and this involves a shortest bot. I'll see what i can do. But I wonder if I can still self-right with that design ??

Actually I wanted you guys to comment about the frontal defense, not the wheels. You know I dont like too much external components (especially motors)

Are you kidding me? You gained weight for the weapon compared to me and may have a stronger weapon than my bot, yeah, but these wheels are BEGGING to be hit by a ram or a HS, the last striking at one of your sides, making you bot turning 90° forcefully, so the sides face the HS, and he has just to go forward to mash one of your wheels. Without mentioning the Havok if you knock off the ztek.

This external wheel design is decent if you have a large front of weapons (as your LW rammer) but not here, with a tight front chassis. I mean, why do some of Starcore 3's rams have their wheels inside the chassis?

Oh, then, I suppose it's just two points of view. Big chassis and heavier, or small chassis and more fragile...
