Do plan on it, just re-installed the game and trying to learn how to make a bot again. Did anyone figure out a fix for widescreen resolutions for weird perspective issues in the bot lab or is it just better to run in windowed mode? That's also probably left to another thread so i'll keep the off topic to a minimum.

At least that should be fixed in RA3, right? :P
i was asking about that for a long time and later on a different device found a way. i dont remember how because i still have to take some time to install on this old hand me down i just got but yes, there is a way to run in a windowed-ish mode. if i remember, ill be sure to let you know

This is great news.  There have been a lot of robot combat TV attempts that never went beyond one season.  It looks like Battlebots has found a new permanent home.

I hope they move the show toward more of a science focus.  Like explain how some of the bots work and the physics involved in their weapons.  For example, Warrior has a really cool and innovative kinetic energy-powered flipper, but you would never know that from watching the show.  You would just think it was springs or something.  And I didn't even notice that Overhaul was a shuffler until RFS pointed it out on Battlebots Update!  This would also create more interesting filler material and calm down all those fans who complain about it.

You can't have a flying unit that weighs more than 10 lbs, so I guess you'd have something like a flamethrower shooting downwards

Which would be completely ineffective, moreso than a normal horizontal flamethrower.  Flames burn upward.  You would end up cooking your own bot.  One of these projectile weapons that are apparently allowed now would work better.  Or maybe a vertical saw blade for the sole purpose of throwing sparks?
if the saw catches and rips it will throw the little flyer as opposed to anything it hits. probably the best use would be dropping something akin to road spikes in the shape of lets say 4-pointed playing jacks to up-end or get wedged in the opponent's drive. but why bother?

i think hes using the disk as sort of a 4 way extender to hold mroe weapons on what is actually a poker bot. theres probably no motor there. could be an axle on a stick. thats what i was assuming. creative if not entirely effective

Not sure if it's a new rule for season 2 but
Quote
Projectile Weapons
Projectile weapons are allowed, as long as they do not create an arena-fouling problem.
Projectile weapons must not use explosives. Springs, catapults and gas-pressure powered
guns may be acceptable. You may be required to show that your projectile weapon will not
damage the Lexan exterior of the arena.
I'm hoping no one actually bothers to try this
if you cant **** up the lexan how much will it really **** up your opponent. im sure anyone with half a mind to build a robot realizes this

maybe as like a side weapon for show or something. like there were a couple with pretty superficial flames last season iirc

(btw anyone who has any episodes after episode 3 or so onward through the season please post i was unable to watch any of them since ive been away)

ohh yeah lose the disk on the fricken spike thing btw. stick to a couple of spikes, get some faster motors in there and youll do a lot more damage. the piston itself aint gonna do much as far as piston rammers go dude. its about the combination of those pistons with some decent speed behind em. doesnt have to be hps but try and work that in there and youll be lookin good
