is photoshop elements any good...?

I have never used it, but i hear that it is basically a stripped-down version of photoshop that does not have a lot of the complex editing tools available. (because it is aimed at general consumers)

I will write up a quick walkthrough on how i make a skin maybe this weekend. It depends how motivated I am & if i take off for the weekend.

be well all

find the logo seperatly. if you cant do that, then you must draw by hand.


I pull all of my logos off of angled bot pictures and flatten them before putting them on the skin.  I can only do it with photoshop though. If anyone wants a step-by-step rundown on how to do this. I will only take the time to do a writeup if other people are using photoshop as well.  My version of Photoshop is ancient, but the steps are essentially the same.  (i think)

my bot's ready and AIed.

still some testing before i send it though..

no stacking batts? thats never been mentioned in realistic rules before. what about weapons? like on an HS where there are 2 spikes in one?


"welder's concept"
I would think that anything you can do with a welder IRL should be allowed in the tourney.  Just a thought.

ex: you can weld two spikes together easily and mount them to a plate... you can't weld batteries or motors into each other.

new cruelty would be better with a double ram plate front.


heh, it actually has a double ram plate rear instead... If i can find the bot file again I will attempt to revise it.

thanks for the feedback!

Best Walker/HS: Son of Wyatchi. While this bot is not perfect by any means, it still sticks in my memory as the most destructive non-wheeled bot I have seen.

Thanks for merging threads Sonni. I really like your replicas because I am not familiar with any of the bots, so it is always a neat surprise when you make a new one.

I do not know any programming at all, but I had a successful online turn-based strategy game going for a few years.  It was really time consuming. Eventually, I just didn't have enough free time to dedicate to it.

Thanks for starting a new Replicas Thread Scrap. After I post a few more of the bots that were on the old thread from the (RIP) RA2 forums, I will try to make time to make some new replicas.

Yay! would love to see this tourney go further...

Because... *cough* frankly, i would love to see my bots compete against something a bit less overwhelming than Starcore's bots. *cough*

While, i am honored to have competed against him, I didn't really have high expectations of my bots to compete with him.  His level of expertise far outclasses mine.  

<3 you Starcore! :P

ahhhh I see... that "wow" guy that i missed.  Seems like he raised a ruckus while i was away for a couple of weeks.  Glad you don't hate me Sorrow, i thought i passively offended somehow.

Be well!
