Kinda already got a poll though. Unless there are any objections or better names (and NO BAWWWWING), I am going with Clash of the Titans.

Yeah that happened with EFIE 4. I was half done with putting in all of the ant batteries (only had 76 in, all on one side), and it turned a lot.

But they fall off quicker. And also, try using 20cm extenders and lots of em, so you have more attachment points.

Check this page out: https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Stratocaster

Look at the extender work, and the use of only a few pistons. Also the battery usage. One black battery can power 4 HP Z-Teks, so with six wheels, you need 1 black and a nifty.

But you should use it efficiently. Try using extenders. Some of the best rammers only have 2 or 3 pistons.

Now try to shave weight to get 36 irons or maces. Its a good start though.

And what J was trying to say was that you should start the blades right behind the small wedges, so there isn't any space for them to hit the extenders.

Oh it seems to be a challenge now for the title of which is better. Zonda vs CCX!





May the best car win!

If you got the extender work right, you could probably add another HPZ to that.

Personal favorites from Canobie Lake Park, my semi-local amusement park. Never been to Six Flags, although I really want to go for the roller coasters.

They have a couple roller coasters though.

Yankee Cannonball - An old wooden coaster (it actually is pretty old).


Corkscrew - A really original name for a coaster that hurts your head and neck a lot (bounces around a lot)


Xtreme Frisbee - Looks good at night, and the line is fast. 40 people per ride makes for a quick wait.

OH I've seen the Koenigsegg before. If I'd remembered it, it would've been in my favorites too. It just looks too awesome.

Would that robot be a rammer or an SnS (Sit n Spin)?

A tip is to not use circular chassises, because parts can not fit up against the edges if it is a circle.

And if it is an SnS, I can tell you all you need to know ;)

Otherwise, if it is a rammer, try to put weapons on extenders, using the side attachment points. One tip is that Square extenders have no advantage over round ones, so you should not use them. Around here, we like to see the potential of a robot from the standpoint that it is AIed to fight opponents autonomously. On a really good rammer, the weapons will all be at the front. Normally they will be AIed and it will attack with the front, but Clickbeetle wrote a new AI type for Thwartoise that can make double-sided rammers effective.

yes.

and here is my possible entry for RW2, Dawn Patrol:

(Image removed from quote.)
(Image removed from quote.)
looks OK IMO, rule of 7 killed the extenders (and the fact that it would block off the blades completely) The shell panels represent the RL motor and that box thing near the wheels. Also needs blue flipper parts.

Does pretty well in combat, lasts 2:34 against Ruiner (and almost KO'ed him) and is an excellent grinder. Somewhat invertible, too.

Oh, and Plastic 1.

I cannot see that being very effective with ant blades on copals...
What tournament is that from?

Just throwing it out there, but I just want everyone to rmember that you can enter multibots, which may be an answer to a high lag computer...

Well then start a showcase this isn't starting just yet! And besides, every tourney needs a newbie bot.

And also, I think that Clash of the Titans is a good name. Unless a better one comes along, I'm going with that.
