good progress, i cant drive my bots tho

Uh oh.  That's not right.  Are you using the latest Alpha version 2.01?  What exactly is going wrong?

I wire them up, but they dont move in test area or battles

Hey, Kix. I can send you a download of the latest version, if you want it...

i mean its pretty much the same as the one i downloaded

I'm not sure if you saw this on the other thread, but maybe this will help?  Double posting the instructions here.  Please let me know if this doesn't work for you, and we will do some more advanced troubleshooting.

@tashic is working on motor wiring now.  It is complicated, and taking a while to sort through.

Stuff that should work right now:

1. Attach a couple of AmpFlow motors, one or the left wheel and one for the right wheel.
2. Attach wheels to the motor attachment points.  You will probably need to rotate the view to get the wheels to snap to the axles.
3. Go over a few screens to the "Controls" tab.  Select the motor on the left side of the screen, and click "Left Drive Motor".  Select the motor on the right side of the screen and click "Right Drive Motor".  The game assumes that the forward direction for the robot is forward the rusty green lathe in the back of the room.
4. Click on the game controller icon at the top of the screen to test the controls.
5. Use WASD to drive.

^what he said.^
Oh, and I use a toggle switch for spinners.

7 "no" and 1 "i don't care" vote, we did it gamers

Is this another n00b whack?
You realize I know how to host a tournament now from watching you guys make one.

rebuild the chassis. there's plenty of space in between the drive motors if you turn everything around

Got ‘it.
I’m considering having 3 face spinners on RADs instead of 2 on HP zteks.

Oh, okay, this season is Tombstone’s. Or Bite Force’s. One of these two will likely win.

>not letting me ai my own robot

unironically kill yourself

This “death” gag has to stop. Literally STOP IT.

If you have a better Ai binding for a multibot, please let me know.

don't ever let me see you using pinks on a robot ever again. inexcusable for someone who's been here this long

okay, it would either be this- cheat, and put a supervolt inside, or go by the rules.

It has 4 or 6 pinks... I don’t remember.
There is a reboot of this bot- Digger III that will be coming out, and this is what I appear to be getting from your advice...

I personally hate stock bots since most of them are just Tanks with razors on them. I still love stock but competition wise, no

Well, this one's a twist on that :)

I'd love to see Lockjaw and Icewave comeback

Icewave is not.

Icewave met its end when Rotator turned that engine on Icewave into scrap metal.


...and wait... NO TOMBSTONE?

Okay, this season is either Bite Forces or Sawblaze’s for the taking. (Or Yeti’s.)

This is good, because this will mean the competition will be different, and not just Tombstone wiping the battlebox floor with its opponents.

Tombstone is in.

Tombstone hopefully has a different weapon. Right?

Check out what I've done so far...
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1GUra2Ax8AtQG6TqBArW8AdQFLa1BfjQv

Ok so apparently I have to request access to this to see it, how come?

I posted a download so you guys can try out the parts for yourself.

Here's a drum. To use it, 3d print it, and hollow out the center to the desired area of that of your axle.

Ever get tired of fighting 1 bot on 1 bot?

Multiwarz is an alternative.
In Multiwarz, multibot clusters go head-to-head in the combat arena (re-skinned) in order to win a place in the "Jeopardy Showdown" part of the tournament, then the "Ellimination rounds 2"  and then, in the "Final Battle."
There will be a "Challenge Gang-up" after the tournament as well.
rules
>each participant can submit up to 2 multibots.
>maximum of 32 competitors. (that means up to 64 multibots can compete.)
> Your multibot must be Stock Unrealistic.
>your multibot cluster can weigh no more than 389 kg. (that's 199.0 kg. for each multibot.)
>use only the components found in the original RA2 game no custom components or cheatbot components.
>Use this binding with your multibot.
       list.append(("MULTIBOT SEGMENT","Omni",{'radius':0.1,'range':99,'topspeed':99,'throttle':130,'turn':50,'turnspeed':2.5,'weapons':(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14)}))
This binding works best with multibots.
>You may have one of your cluster bots be a Wandering Spinner or crawler, but not both. One of your bots must have controlled movement to be accepted.
>no CF
>all glitches are allowed.

The setup.
The first round
>3 min. matches in the Combat Arena.
>only causes of restarts are havok explosions.
>losers will be elliminated.
>only 1/2 of the competitors will escape this round.

Jeopardy Showdown
> Each multibot will be pitted against Cuts and Bruises (below) for 3 min. in a multibot-vs-bot tournament.
>This is not unfair, because I've beaten Cuts and Bruises with an AIed multibot, so it's possible to beat Cuts and Bruises.
 

>This round will end once 16 multibots remain.

Elimination rounds 2
>3 min. fights
>multibot vs. multibot.
>only 2 bots will make it out.

Final Battle
>3 min. match in the Nitro Robot Wars Arena.
>winner is champion, loser is runner-up.

Bonus- Challenge Gang-up
>4 chosen multibots will fight Mononoke 7.
>the winner is the multibot that scores the most HP. if all 4 multibots are destroyed, the bot that lasts the longest is the winner.

updates
>I will post vids
>I will also post screenshots.

awards
>best offense- name says it all. Most offensive and destructive multibot wins this award
>best design- this goes to the Multibot that does best all-round.
>most reliable- this award goes to the multibot that moves and attacks without problems (not havoking, no lack of control, etc.)
>coolest appearance- this award goes to the most attractive multibot.
>most unique- this award goes to the multibot that looks the most unique, and unlike the other multibots.

Good luck, and I can't wait to see what multibots you guys come up with!
