It would be nice to see the first five videos, and a commentary toward the end would be cool. :D

then the winner would be the perfect robot. because it means it can't be beat, there can only be one in the world. What if the two EXACT same perfect bots went head to head with the EXACT same AI, in an arean with No walls or hazards?

True, but what happens when two perfect robots go head to head?

Personally, I enjoy Naryar advice, (partly because no one else gives me much advice).

Bulldog was one of the worst AI HWs.

Wow, HazCon has LOW gorund clearance!

Good. Vlad wheels are grippiest, I think.
Oh, and "horrible ground clearance" may be a little exxagerated, but for a wedged bot...
...Wait, no, not horrible, but a little big. I didnt noticed the NPC's being vertical.
It must still have something like 3 times the ground clearance of Hazardous Contraption. Actually, it has close to zero ground clearence.

Sounds good, If I think of any commonly asked questions I will post them here.

HORRRIBLE ground clearence?! Last I checked it may be a little high, but horrible? And no, there are no motors underneath the bot they are all in back. Oh, and I could not get backlash disks to fit, though they are probably better.
EDIT: I swapped the Taz wheels for Vlad wheels, now it has less ground clearence, but it still was not horrible.

Big and powerful Beetleweight wedge. :D

Hello, here is my newest bot, Purple Pest:    Purple Pest uses four Minion Blades as weapons, and four wheel drive Fast NPCs with Tazbot Wheels. He gets under other bots and then slowly (or sometimes quickly) grinds at their underside. The freely rotating wedge idea is amazing, big congrats to whoever devised it. Any comments would be appreciated. :D

I love the paint job, and that bot must be VERY fast with those techno wheels.

Woah, okay I wil keep that in mind.

Good wheel and drive choice. Neat tight chassis. Looks cooler than the first. Better wedges, I'm sure.
This wipes out temporarily my spite for flippers.
I'm being an ass because this bot is great but if you want to upgrade it even further:
-If you put the fast NPC's vertically (exactly like my tabletop pusher) on the baseplate and stick a techno destructo wheel on them, you'll have really very few ground clearance. (nevermind if you already have very few)
-I'm sure that with another cleverer chassis/component setup you could put better batteries than ant ones.
-It still lacks side armor.
-If it isn't done, be sure to use titanium armor. I will definatly try to reposition the motors and see what happens, and I have had HORRIBLE luck with other batteries, especially the red ones, they just do not seem to fit. I will definatly add side armor. And if I am going to have side protection, I will put my armor at 5 mm Titanium. (Is now 5 mm Steel.) Thanks for you input Naryar.

Thats weird, the folder spot shouldn't have any effect on the game, because my stock RA2 is in "My Documents".

much better then the original. too bad you didnt get it in in time. Thanks, do you know why angled skirts on Beta Motors have decreased flipping power? EDIT: Looking at Second Sentinel's chassis, components, and battery usage really helped me develop Version 2.

Hello, I have to keep this showcase going, so here is my newest bot, Lousy Launcher V2:    Since Lousy Launcher is going to be decimated in RAW, I have decided to desigin Version 2. Powered by two Spring Beta Motors, and Techno Destructo wheels on two fast NPCs. I also noticed something odd. When I angled the skirts on the Beta Motors using those grey conectors, the flipping power was greatly decreased. When I just made them parallel to the Beta Motors arm, the flipping power was greatly increased. Does any one else have this same problem or know why it happens ? Any comments would be appreciated. :D

Yeah... I thought to them, but they're very big and do look horrible IMO. Very big means it isn't as easy as the other wheels to get a low ground clearance, because you need a tall bot to have low ground clearance with big wheels. Personally, I love how they look, but thay are just TOO DARN BIG.
