Whose advice should I be following?
Use big black batteries for more power of Betas and suchlike, or use no blacks at all?

For the first one, I would try putting larger teeth on the disc.
Aye, if you look at the preview, you'll see larger teeth, but I was silly, tried experimenting, and now can't take the tiny teeth off for some reason. The large teeth kept breaking.  Might try Hypnodisc teeth, but as I already used them on my previous horizontal spinner, I kind of want to use a bit more variety.

I've tried rebuilding Hannibal to the advice given but without much success. I'll have another go when I get up (love days off). Before I go to bed, I leave you with some fairly tame efforts, and the first attempted rebuild of Hannibal. Just experimenting really. I think a lot of the previous comments highlight the problems with these.

If I fail miserably (very likely indeed), I would absolutely love any help offered.

If I can finally get AI'ing my robots right, I might have a go at entering the IRL HW....
We shall see.

It needs to be 128x128 or something similar (256x256, 512x512, etc)
That might be where I'm going wrong, I'll have to double check what size I was using. Cheers. Also, the "cool but realistic" building is the new cool thing right now, you joined at the right time.
Either I joined at the right time, or I'm just some noob who'll get lost amongst the more experienced builders who have started doing what I'm trying before I joined.  ANYWAY, I'm not proud of this next bot. It's just a prototype for what I'm hoping to become a hammer bot. With two hammers. I think I've actually underpowered this one, it's very sluggish in all aspects, including weapons.

I'm on Windows 7, and have never had a wiring issue.

Yeah, it flips itself over, but the flipper is shaped so that it can even reach the back panel. I've realised I'm not following anyone's advice when it comes to building these things. I think I just want them to look cool, yet realistic.... Does anyone know what I have to do to get custom decals working? I've tried saving them as a TGA file and putting it in both the Custom Textures and Decals folder to be sure, but still it doesn't work. Am I just being stupid?

1mm Steel I think. Anything more and it becomes a heavyweight.

I love my empty space. It frustrates everyone else.

Well, 2 BSG's allowed me to make a middleweight capable of flipping Tornado OOTA. I guess it's a start. Even if it is either: A) A fluke or B) Just incredibly amateur. Might work on creating something bigger with Beta motors. We'll see.

I RETURN. From being rather busy.
Lots of failed attempts to make something that looks realistic, yet still fairly original. I'll probably upload something new before the weekend.
Any advice on how to make flippers more powerful? I'm using 2 JX Burst Motors, with a ton of batteries to add power, but I'm still failing to toss robots around with the ease that they can flip my 700kg bot.
God, I'm crap at this.

Very tempted by this, seeing as I haven't played the first two, only THPS3....

I disagree with this. While not as old as some others, the PS1 is pretty retro.
That's what I was saying. :)

Yeah, you can easily use the 'PS2 isn't retro because it doesn't have 8-bit and cartridges' logic (which is somewhat true, PS2 and Xbox isn't retro) to say that the PS1 isn't retro either, and I'd certainly say it's pretty classic.

Sorry to double post, but how do you AI your robots? I've created a pair to enter.

I'd have no idea where to start with an entry. :)

Hmm. Cheers guys. I'm a little annoyed right now. Why the  is it saying it'll take 7 hours to upload a 2 and half minute YouTube video?

Ha, I joined the forum a couple of weeks late. Missed what looks like a pretty cool thing going on here!
