Cheers guys!
I was going to! And I got the community rounded up to make other bots too. Then it bombed hard like everything I announce before finishing.

It's been almost a year since I posted here? Jesus. Things have been quiet. A lot of it because a new custom computer which I dubbed "The Beast", I've only had to turn down the graphics from maximum for Planetside 2, though only because of sub-60 FPS in intense battles. And they're in the process of optimising the entire game because of crappy performance in general anyway, so who knows. But yes. I have stock, DSL 3 and now DSL 2.1 ready to go, though I have accepted I won't reach the current standards of building on stock and would reserve building for stock for when it's BBEANS time again. To make up for lost time, here's some DSL 3 stuff that has been laying around:  Lightweight formula car expy to tie in with the artistic nature of Battlerat (above)  Simple and effective lightweight axe bot.  Da Dog. Used a steel sheet instead of the plow because I cannot justify the chassis being any wider/larger as a middleweight.  Big Dog. Couldn't come up with a use for wasted weight (it's got some ridiculous armor) so I gave it a powerful srimech. Only needs a 20 or so degree swing and it's on it's wheels.  Now we're getting into the stuff I actually skinned. Lil Dog.  Flame Chopper. It has a steel extender stabilizer around the back. Wanted to use the actual fire axe but it's not stable enough for the kick of the powerful burst motor with a heavier load.  Middleweight axebot to tie in with Battlerat in being... well, rats. And it's artsy. And it wouldn't be Red's Hall of Lame without a needlessly showy splash for what would be an average bot if not for immaculate presentation skills.  IRL DSL 2.1 axebot. Lots of BFE here. Finetuned the chassis dimensions, lowered it a few points to be visibly invertible, near enough perfectly aligned the drive and center the burst motors and the bursts have a BFE'd swing arc. I made a custom AI for it that swings both axes independently, though the actual smart zones are too wide and too central so it ends up firing both axes anyway except in special circumstances. It however isn't invertible until the axes break off so I can't set it to be invertible, and I cannot find a way to set the robot's invertibility in-combat when both axes are broken off without causing a fatal game error when the AI py file is loaded.

I tried a few replicas myself but I just couldn't get anything looking good. But I already sent an original entry.

Hmm. I'll get DSL 2 again and see what's possible. Naturally I'm english.

I was going to jump in in a few months and proclaim my page hasn't been edited by anything other then GTMbot and myself in 4 years, but it turns out that was actually on the 1st January 2010 by G.K, so I've overstepped it by a few months. Whoops.

I haven't been around of late, but when I was I was lurking as guest. Didn't want to miss BB8, but it would of been hard to install DSL2 and get everything sorted out in 24 hours or so. Maybe Clash Cubes will be enough of an incentive.
Wonder if I was online every time Badnik logged into League of Legends.

Not sure if I should make a flash entry. If it's even possible. Ehhh.

Cool. I'll take the Mini Countryman WRC. I'm special.

Certainly. Some hazards when defined in the arena's py file have variables to be declared other then the position of the hazard itself. self.spikes1 = Hazards.Spikes(prism, 40000, (-3.7, -2.2, -5.2))
For the spikes, the second value is the power it extends and retracts(!) with. Unfortunately there's no values you can change for the saws within the arena .py, and you'll have to change Hazards.py itself. (Alternatively you could make your own hazard declaration and define the hazard as being that instead inside the arena .py, but that's a bit more in-depth) class Saws(Hazard):
def __init__(self, a_prismatic, location = (0, 0, 0)):
Hazard.__init__(self, location)
#statuses: 0=off, 1=on
self.status = 0
self.prismatic = a_prismatic
self.prismatic.SetAutoLock(False)
self.prismatic.SetPowerSettings(2.0, -2000)
self.timer = 0
self.refcount = 0
The power is the second value again, and for the saw to work correctly it has to be negative. Just how it's scripted. It works the same as the spikes, it uses the same power for extending and retracting.

Yup, just have to find the names in the GMF to use them. Be wary that if you make the number too high for the arena floors/walls it will do damage per second even while the bot is stationary, and the damage potential may be low for DSL without surpassing that limit (Depends how much damage you think a T-Minus toss would do compared to a spinner). I'd tell you the number I settled on but I didn't keep much from my old games after I built my new PC, the bot files mostly.

You can also speed up the hazards but yeah, changing the material multiplier (as I call it) is the most straight-forward solution. Notably the self.SetSubMaterialSound line can be used to make the floor and wall colliders do damage to give pure flippers a damage source, but the points aren't attributed to the flipper. (Make the sound the arena material uses slience though, otherwise everything in contact with the surface will make that noise)

2/3 in the qualifiers, not bad. Surprising way for Madd to win by and Junkyard Warrior throwing down the gauntlet. Shard got molested.
Madd shouldn't last much longer, the spike just isn't wedgy. Junkyard may go all of the way.

Oh blimey, blindsided with BB7. I best get my butt in gear.

That works. I'll have to get the thing that extends the bot teams, but it works.

Shard was always meant to be Splinter  DSL 2 one is series 3, DSL 3 is series 5. Fitting, really.

We don't. We're missing Catfish, Mud Runner, BEAR, Ninja, Ronin, Coal Miner, The Boxer, EMERGENCY, MAD, Civil Disobedience and Stinger, and we need to settle which version of Scout, Sentinel, Grog, BOT-204, Little Metal Friend, Backslash, Flame Chopper, Tornado, Ripblade and Backyard Ripper to use, assuming we don't get other duplicates.

A fair update, if small for the timeframe. A temp AI bot I forgot to post: Flapjack.  It's pretty good.  My intentions should be clear with this one. 5mm Aluminium. Not so powerful for a heavyweight but the front end is extremely durable. (Also I wish I didn't have to rip the titlecard off a Youtube video, the quality is crap)   There's the bot by itself and the insides. Uses the pneumatic burst motors (very short axes, medium overhead axe)  My intentions for this shouldn't be as clear. It's my LW for GTM Robot Wars, to go with Shard. I chose this over a box with spikes rammer.

It's cool.
Well, I thought interest had died out since I haven't had many additions (Even then I'm behind, sorry Mike). And to be fair, even my interest is dying a little. Not only that, the entire point of the pack is a bit diminished as NAR AI v3 is out, and this was supposed to fill the gap before a real pack came out.
What are we going to do at this point?

Well, I'm probably not going to enter anymore. Made the best bot I've ever made, it was absolutely flawless. Very powerful hammer, good protection, brilliant drive, and all the batteries I needed. Took about a week to plan, and 45 minutes to build. I finally finished it, then I saved. I accidently clicked on an empty slot and the empty immediately said "heavyweight". I thought that was weird, so I checked on my perfect bot. GAME CRASHES  . I'm going to take a break from RA2 for a while.
Try loading your bot again? That's a bug that happens when you don't create a chassis. If you try to load another bot in your game session, it just crashes. Your bot should be fine.
