Get the marked extender in Sage's skin pack.

And the weapon system should look something like this:



You can use Irons instead of razors, and you should. I just didn't have enough weight left. Maybe you could swap for 4WD, put Irons on, and maybe get a Nifty in there.

Well, I took your advice about the Batteries, adding a Nifty. I also Added 2 More wheels for more speed and control...I havent got the Weapon layout figured yet. It's proving tricky cause the Iron Spikes wont fit properly...and even the smaller Razors are having problems...this is what it currently looks like:

Rotate them so they work.

Somebody, you should put up a poll with the name choices so far and see which one we like best!

Since you seem to have your head in the right place, I think you'll do just fine here, so welcome :D

Just a few general tips for you before you can get really into specifics:

- Try to build to the weight limit. You're going to hear this advice a ton as it's one of the default tidbits that people who want to help but don't really know their stuff will tell you endlessly. It's not as easy as it sounds either, as cramming ballasts in dosen't really count. Usually, you're going to want to cram as many weapons on as possible since damage in RA2 works a bit differently than in real life; unlike Hypnodisc, two teeth or spikes won't break very many opponents.

- Minimize chassis space. Again, you're going to hear this A LOT. This one is just common sense. A smaller chassis is not only a smaller target, but it also gives you more weight for more useful stuff like weapons and external armour.

- There's also a very useful glitch that everybody uses. After you finish designing your chassis, do not click on the "Armour" tab. By not selecting any armour, the game automatically assigns and armour that is the same weight as aluminium but stronger than steel. We call it DSA, or double strength aluminium.

- MOAR weapons. As I said earlier, RA2 is a bit different than real life in terms of damage. Basically, more spikes = better, and razor tips, maces, and iron spikes are the best. It's worth noting that all weapons have the same HP values (except razor tips; they have 1/2 the HP but are more damaging), so there is no advantage whatsoever in using the heavy ones like sledgehammers. When in doubt, add more spikes.

Hope this helps :)

One more thing, ALWAYS LISTEN TO THE COLORED-NAMED PEOPLE. They are the smartest. Usually.

Because in some situations, it is vice versa, depending on the type of protection you need.

Did you like my name?

Just remembered that I wasn't gonna allow SnS's, but then I thought, "What the heck! It'll be more fun."

3974
Yeah... I just thought that it wouldn't make much difference in the bot's performance, but it would be for the well-being of the builder. It's like a win-win-win situation.

I don't think Kraizee got stuck on the wall... Do you mean KillaStorm's Thyrus-patented loss?

Yeah, I meant Killastorm.  :rolleyes:

SFTW- Well, I've got the guts to vote for myself. Anklebiter v2.0.

Best Match- Kraizee vs. Killastorm

Best Moment- Killastorm getting stuck on the wall and being immobilized.

Coolest Bot- Kraizee
