We need permission to use replicas.
Watches in fear as he has sent Bigger Brother Rep and few others
Yea should do
Shoot. Which ones were the replicas?
I think it was only warhead actually
kix and F1Krazy,
Would you guys be okay if we included your profile images from GameTechMods in the video? I was thinking it would be awesome to go all the way with Robot Wars-style photos of the competitors, but maybe we just do something a little simpler for now?
Btw, did you get the bots I sent over?
Sorry! I didn't receive them. Should they have come via pm?
Should've done
No luck with the pm. Bummer.
Callum is mostly done with the video now, but I think we can still use the robots next week at BuggleBots.
Ok, I'll resend them now
No luck. I didn't receive a PM from you. Maybe the server is blocking the uploads?
Hop DM me the bots, than ill send them to bruce
yall need to make a discord server
Also i have my own logo
(Image removed from quote.)
In that case, you have them lmao

Someone should send in a rep of Drizzle or Snappy if it's allowed.
Snappy is cephalopod, right?
Is Drizzle a GTM user?
Dizzle is Tom Brewster. (Monsoon/Touron guy) Not on GTM

Bruh I literally started my own private vanilla server yesterday for a few mates. I should've waited and dumped my time into this instead. How much is it costing you p/m?
£15 iirc, 4/6gb of ram for it Guessing you got realms?

Sup ya'll.
Current have a modded server that's got Pixelmon running.
hoppin.mcph.co
Feel free to join, it can handle 70 people.
Gonna rotate it off sometimes to Volts, Tekkit, FTB, etc.

Hey guys MoonSet416 (Michael Wang on FB) here.
First, our tournament does have a ruleset (although far from finalized and we are constantly tweaking it). But sorry for now I just cbb to translate it to English.
About the small wedges: they are LOW to the ground when you use them correctly. This ties into the next section as well since it plays a huge role in our meta.
The Chinese tournament runs a very very modified version of the game where spinners rule like they do in the real world (and we have a sportsman division for other bots). Here's an observation I made: since the game tournament is held quite often and there's no cost associated with rebuilding from scratch (aside from time), the robot designs evolve faster in game than in the real world <insert SAO S3 reference here>.
Our first tournament saw robots that are only tested against the game's original AI bots, and still struggled to defeat things like Shogun and got outwedged by things like Critical Emergency. Most of our robots at the time were somewhat similar to the early RW bots, with a pretty wide variety of weapons and build quality. One of the bots called Hyper Force (based on Bite Force), however, was probably the first to use hinged small wedges in China and achieved great result by basically outwedging everyone else. Paired with its vertical spinner HF did quite well.
After the success of HF, a number of similar 4WD verticals with hinged front wedges appeared in the second tournament. At the same time a type of robot was also developed in direct response to these HF lookalikes. NKVD was a huge vertical spinner with no wedges (much like Deep Six) and was able to win a head on collision with an HF style robot by basically only contacting the opponent's weapon and having higher tip speed and bite due to its larger diameter. NKVD did have issues fighting horizontals and did not do very well, but its concept lived on. Also, robots with different configurations also emerged, some taking inspiration from Bite Force's multiple wedges (see a trend here? we really like BF for some reason... maybe it's because it won?) while some other went the path of Bombshell (S2) with completely different weapons for each configuration.
I personally think that the third season was very interesting. On the one hand you see the number of non-spinners plummet (they went to the sportsman comp), on the other hand you see a diversification inside the spinner category. You still have your old HF style 4WD spinners, but large diameter verticals definitely took over, within which there are 4WD variants, 2WD variants, and even some that change to a smaller weapon and thick wedge when fighting horizontals. The winner was surprisingly a swiss army bot with a vertical spinner mode for normal use and a flipper mode tailored to large verticals. Turns out that if you stick a sloped surface under large verticals they knock themselves out.
And that's just the weapon side of things. With the prevalence of vertical spinners, the fight for lower ground clearance was quite fierce. The formula that we have currently agreed on is hinge + some rod + small wedge. Sounds simple, but the intricacies of how to outwedge another robot with the same style of wedges is beyond me. We have seen situations where A outwedges B, B outwedges C and then C outwedges A. There is definitely a lot to be learnt here.
We are also constantly tweaking the "game balance". Two major "patches" were made to largely unify the power to weight ratio of motors and the HP to weight ratio of armor panels. More changes to come.
First of all on a serious note it's lovely to see how your meta and game has evolved without much if any input from us on the forum. It's an interesting observation and would love to read over your current ruleset! A member here, GuldenFlame, ran a tournament in a similar fashion to your game type with our more strict ruleset, it's still going on I think but you can watch it here " Everything is too OP". I think if you're looking to standardize the rules, that's a good place to look, but I'd like to see the community come up with the solutions for them independently tbh. Finally in regards to the videos and their quality. There's a few things the host can do. Firstly, install the wide screen fix for DSL, which is linked here " Wide Screen Fix for DSL" then set your resolution to your monitor using the ra2.cfg file in the base folder. This should remove the black bars on the side and wont have any stretching issues. Secondly, in the options of the game, you can disable status messages which are the status of each robot, it's entirely optional and dependent on what people prefer. Where can we learn more about the tournament, seeing more videos for it, etc? Thank you for updating and sharing this, hope you continue to do so.

Damn they like their typhoon teeth more than we do
In fairness I think they've seen our stuff and gone nuts with it. it's all our fault. We could've saved them

If this is IRL, it's not legal. There's no way this'll move in real life. It needs something to push against.
Either way. You're actually retarded. I could give you all the advice the others are giving, but you'll still do this
inb4 Redalert calls you ToXIc
haha, I know that man, plus I could make a suicide joke

You're gonna be needin a few things.
Arena
Weightlimit
More specific build rules. (teeth spam, IRL-ness, all that jazz)
Also why 20. That doesnt divide into a bracket well.

I wanted to try and make a few non HW bots specifically for Billy's tournament and this was my first attempt. A MW version of Boogs, since I didn't enter HW Flickin Boogs, but it's probably my best bot, performance wise.
[ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Mini Boogs looks really solid.

Received some entries. Just had back to back work. So chill out homies.
Keep in mind I havent check any bots yet, so I'll message any users with issues.
