There's more itnerest for this than I thought there would be, maybe the high-ups of GTM will stumble across this.

Hi guys, I have a few robot ideas, so I came up with: Robot Building Marathon: 24 hours bot building.


Wondering if this might be a regular/annual event or something, if not it can just be my thing, as I like a good gaming marathon from time to time.


So, here begins the first Classicus Robotics Robot Arena Marathon. 24 hrs of action films, Dr Pep, and robot building. I will post the results tomorrow.

Can the vehicle or machinery be of fiction/sci fi etc?

Maybe you could make some custom skin wheels, paint them all black and give them the same hub design. Still a great bot though.

Top notch. I wonder if you could use wheels increasing in size to make it invertible? That would look mega.

Hey, I was thinking it might be good for future DSL's to have user versions of the cheatbot components. More components = more fun and variety in my opinion, what do you guys think?

Thanks for the comments, the bot is designed hit at the sides of robots (I was going to call it 'side swipe' but it reminds me of an SR71). I've found when this sort of weapon goes head on it sometimes doesn't last, thought I'd try something different. It works upside down too :D

Can't remember if I posted these or not.  Was digging through my old hard drive.

Razorback = officially the best bot I've ever seen

We should really bring back the skinning conntests.

Yes to that.

It probably doesn't need 4WD, also flipper segments have only 1000 hps so making the whole flipper out of them alone might not be such a good idea. Perhaps you could house the flipper assembly in the chassis and use a component for the exposed part of the flipper.

As you know the season mode in RA2 is more or less unusable/broken, so I made my own.

MW001   001   19   7   3   1   29-11   72.5

Was good fun, some interesting AI v AI results, probably toughest bot was Lock Nut

Will be making a revised robot in near future.

I will only be putting robots of the highest quality (in my mind) in this thread, I felt the old thread was losing the standard it started with.

You are all getting very excited... might want to keep calm for now, it might be crap. There's no reason to assume it will be good. Hope for the best.

Great news if true, Jimmy Cameron is a true legend: Terminator (my fave film of all time), Aliens, now robots. Apart from Titanic which was a bit damp and Avatar which looks a bit 'funky'. True Legend.

Hopefully there won't be too many shell spinners and we get to see some properly good robots.

Dang, sounds like something beyond my capabilities at the moment if it is indeed possible. It was a nice dream while it lasted. I really must stop watching sci-fi while I'm making bots as it gives me crazy ideas and disappointment.


To be honest I'm surprised something like this hasn't been done in real combat, it seems like an extension of that robot with all the components in the two wheel hubs.

No that's not what I mean, I have a robot with two large side weapons, and I am thinking the ball could sit in the middle with the weapons mounted on the sides.
