A few weeks ago I know I said that Track-tion was lucky, but at least Track-tion did manged to get a convincible win against Apex even when they borrowed an wedge of the Vulture team
Tracktion didn't beat Apex. Apex beat Apex.
Well, Track-tion did manged to get Apex to hit it's borrrowed wedge, which on the second hit did cause Apex to lose balance and cause it's bar to fly off. But it was still Apex that destroyed itself.

As I did watch last night's episode of Robot Wars. I do honestly think that Expulsion did dodge too many bullets due to how many of victories that I saw from Expulsion, weren't actually convinceible in my own eyes. Every time that I see Expulsion being push and battered around in most of it's matches save a few it properly lost, but was always saved because the dominating robot would end up malfunctioning and stop moving first before hand. A few weeks ago I know I said that Track-tion was lucky, but at least Track-tion did manged to get a convincible win against Apex even when they borrowed an wedge of the Vulture team. But in this situation in my eyes, Expulsion never pulled off an convincible win through the entire heat, even when Expulsion did a bit damage against Coyote but it still wasn't enough to convince me.
Moving on, I'm impressed with Magnetar's performance with how well it did during it's heat causing quite a bit of damage onto its opponents. But still, there's the ten bot rumble to look forward to.

I knew that I should of found the time to finish off my bot in time before the deadline for sign-ups were closed. All well, at least I can sit back and see that most of the entries turn out to be a bit of mix bag of combat effectiveness, good looks and some unique designs. I just Looked at All the bots and I can already tell Im Bonned
Pokebro14 don't think like that. Your bot may look like it's screwed, but you could be surprised that your bot could pull off a few upsets in the tournament in theory. Even if your entry doesn't win any one of it's matches, you still say that you made an effort and look back over your design for future improvements to future bots.

Well, that's what I call winning by doing absolutely nothing. Still, congratulation Dreamcast for winning the challenge title and hopefully next month's challenge belt will go a lot better!

Is this part of your art project?
If you want to keep stock going you could host a stock tournament. Try to get people into it.
he did, and nobody entered. 
Yea nobody enters ra2cf stock SHW tournaments.
In truth only 7 people entered Wen and a Damned War. But apart from me and the other six users, no one else decided to make a ra2cf stock SHW. Though often I do point to the main problem being that the large majority of this forum and it's users has more interest in DSL-IRL building most of the time, and when a Stock tournament does happen, it ends up being a Stock MW tournament because no one else has an interest in Stock building above MWs. I'm aware the last statement isn't 100% correct, knowing that some users still show more variety in bot building by building in other metas and Stock Weight classes, but this is what the forum has mainly descended into: DSL IRL building or Stock MW building for the better or worse on how you view the situation.

I've forgot to say that sometimes, Steel armor isn't really worth it for a bot. Sure Steel armor especially Steel 10 provides plenty of protection, but steel armor uses up a lot of weight that could of gone towards better weaponry, more batteries or using more armor plates for outer protection. Some users often use stuff like Titanium 1, 5 or 10 or plastic 5 or 10. Not only those armors provide good protection, but you also have some spare weight to use up on what the weight could of gone to.

The armor plate work looks a little messy. Especially with the amount of gaps between armor plates that could filled in with longer or multiple plates. If have problem fitting the plates due to the game detecting part intersection, you should download the Serge Patcher if you haven't done so already. The Patcher comes with may tool that you may use for building including component intersection, that allows for parts like armor plates to intersect through other parts, without have the red "cannot place" outline over the part you're about to place. Just make sure that the part doesn't end up intersecting through any important parts like batteries or motors since doing so will be breaking IRL building rules.
Apart from that, you should listen to the TheRoboteer's advice to remove the snappers. Snappers may be handy on much lighter bots but for a Heavyweight, snappers/magmotors are not worth putting on. With 18kg left in your bot, you can add some more power into the bot by using VDMAs or burst pistons just the in the previous version of your bot. But it's a good starting point from your other bot, but it still needs a little more work on it. Also as one last question: what armor are you using on your bot by any chance?

The reason is, is because if they are readonly or the game does not have permissions, how will the game put the bots in the folder? 
Badnik already answered the solution to this problem already in an earlier post and Sagaris already had the problem solved by now. So please don't post your solutions to problems, when the solution was already posted earlier.

Well, I want to post about the current episode of Robot wars, but I decided that I too tried to post around the time. So anyway my opinion: Well for the most part, I honestly felt that there was an combined element of luck and surprise that came into this heat. While I did disagree on a few judge decisions through out the episode such as; during the first melee battle I thought that with both Tauron and Iron-awe appearing to be immobilized, the judges should of judged the battle up to that point instead of who was still mobile at the end. I didn't care if Iron-Awe did move at least one metre to confirm that the machine was still mobile, I still thought that the battle should of gone to proper judging, since the team captain of Tauron told his side to the story of how he stop thinking the battle was over. However, one thing that the episode did come to show that damage isn't everything especially how Androne 4000 manged to control it's fight against Tauron, despite all the damage Androne took from Tauron. But anyway, Nuts was the real surprise here due to me thinking that Nuts wasn't going to win the heat, but it won through a few good precision attacks with the flails.

I remembered this morning when I was greeted with this page, I forgot to realize that I set my laptop volume to max volume. This wasn't too pretty when I was blasted with some creepy music early in the morning. So, RIP myself.

Alright, alright guys, apologies. I know, I know. I've got Playzooki/DeadGenocide-tier humor.
I've just got one question - what will exactly happen tomorrow on GTM?
According to the person that started this (who shall remain unnamed), ACAMS didn't actually renew the host fees back in April, which will cause the domain name to expire. I doubt that highly, mostly because his source (which was a checker of some sort) conflicted when somebody else checked, but whatevs.
But hold on just a moment. Didn't 09 send ACAMS the money back around March this year, to pay of the hosting fees of this website and for the site domain to last another two years till 2019?

same tbh
If I find out that this "end of GTM" is a complete joke, then I will be incredibly annoyed by the fact this joke was just to get use to doing more within our lives instead of hanging around GTM. Which may be true on some extend.

>Not banning ra2cf
This just made me nut.
I never saw him say it was allowed either...
It's generally noted that CF and BFE aren't allowed for stock.
From an early post, I did ask about these issues. But knowing Dragonfire, it looks like I'm not going to get much of a response to the question I posted.
275
« on: November 07, 2017, 02:33:42 PM »
A bit of a Noob question: Is there any other restrictions in terms of the build rules? Such as if we are allowed to use BFE or component freedom for this month?

I was meaning to say this but, well done to DSC for winning this month's BOTM. Though the results was close one between both you and PrivmevalMamba. I think that you did deserve to win.

Out of all the Robots in the Third heat, the luckiest robot was defiantly Track-tion. Though out the episode and before then, I had the honest though that Track-tion was going to have its tracks shredded off the robot. But I was surprisingly shocked during the redemption battle, when Track-tion was not only able to defect the bar of Apex using a borrowed wedge, but also caused Apex to become unstable enough to cause its bar to dislodged and fly off. But surprises do come to challenge expectations.

Looks pretty nice for the Frostbite replica with the skinned parts and overall design. Of course, I see that the replica is made to the full purpose of being as weak as the real bot itself.

Not yet, but your only entry is doing well in the middleweight losers bracket currently.

Well, since all the photos have been properly uploaded and without the attachment system messing up, time for my verdicts.
1. That's some real slick 8 wheeled formula one racing car. Guessing by the extender work and the weight. Arcane was definitely behind this one.
2. We had a giraffe, we had a wheelchair and now we have a shopping trolley. Guessing that this will become a new-aged Artbot meme.
3. Guessing someone had to bring in their new-aged Wheelchairfu into BOTM and sticked the splash with Bertstip like memes and Vietnam flashbacks. Pretty much a meme fest like back in May's BOTM.
4. Pretty Generic. Apart from the flamethrower wedge, there's nothing really special.
5. Another Artbot, it well designed and well thought out. I might see this one getting a few votes in the poll.
6. After a wave of memes and well designed bots. We finally get to the SFTW of the month. With an overly large chassis, wasted drive motors and possibly most of its weight being put towards either steel armor and/or a ton of unnecessary batteries. This bot for me has no hope of winning my vote for those reasons, and also being a few days late for Halloween.
7. That's a very nice shell spinner, with the high weaponry and the use of Component freedom to allow a powerful weapon system.
