AH-HA. I FINALLY REMEMBERED MY USERNAME ON THIS ONE. Anyways.

It's really strange that Derek Young pulled a stunt like this. I guess he had a bad run with spinners (Hazard and Knee-Breaker) and overestimated Ghost Raptor's weapon.

Overhaul is fighting Lockjaw again judging from the previews. And it seems to be dominating. :/ Though Lockjaw doesn't seem to be as great as Diesector and Karcas and all of that space went to the flamethrower rather than the lifting power of the jaws and it is a new bot overall after all. So, eh. When it got under Overhaul, it tried to lift it but end up lifting itself. Clearly it's not the second coming of Diesector.

So I'm guessing these matchups went too fast than they expected? Considering how they glossed over the other fights just like that.

The wild card choices are iffy, Overhaul and Witch Doctor I can understand. But Chomp? CHOMP? I guess they want an even number of veterans and newcomers in that. But blegh. I don't expect that thing to stay for long.

Huh. That explains why we don't see Dan Danknick on Team Delta in Battlebots anymore.

LOL They hated Carmen Electra too.

The tank treads look out of place, the disk needs extender support or else it's not IRL, you only need an ant per spin motor and use the blue control board instead of the green one.

So does it have to be like Ripblade II or do I just have the motor stick out?

Oh no, I'm just not a very active person. I got several things in my head going on I might not pop up a lot but eh who knows.

Also, skirt hinges? They never work out for me. Mostly cause I didn't know how to make 'em work. I always bounce on top of the other bot instead of being under them. But I guess I can change the shape of the chassis. It dooooes look like a comfy chair with wheels.

Armor huh? Hm. What's the usual standard for each weight classes?

Oh and a spinning disc on treads. Inspired from Cyclone Raptor. TERMINAL DESTRUCTION. Okay it's a mouthful. Its name is Terminus but I think that name has been used countless times by now. So, I'll just go with that. Teeth is fragile but it does wreck sh** aaaand caused a Havok explosion so bad that it sometimes get stuck through the floor or get it and its opponent flung into the air and stuck through the roof.



And here's a vid of it. lol Havok

Oh, really? Ant batteries can power the drive motors even the best motors, the NPCs? Cool.

Okay, question. So, what cheatbots parts are normally allowed? Cause I use a DDT Burst Motor in some of my lifter bots and the Slow Lifter Snapper Motor as well.

This is my HW bot, Dirge. The only bot I build to not have a cheatbot part. Dead Zone uses one so I didn't think it was right for me to put him here. Oh and sorry, no snazzy paintjob. I have zero clue how to make decals. The inspiration is Mortis and the RW flippers like Gravity. The pickaxe weapon was added as an afterthought. I was gonna use the razor tip but they were too fragile. But the pickaxe also serve on discovered purpose, preventing the flipper from getting stuck through the floor from the Havok physics. I can show a video of its previous rendition. It never had exposed wheels at the back before but I put the wheels back so it won't get stuck on its back or side. Oh and it has 5mm Steel armor. But yeah. Enjoy my pieces of ****s that won't survive in those online tourneys or something. :D

Oh... It was in my desktop. It may have to do with that? Well least I saved my bots. ^^;

EDIT: Oh. BTW, I use the DSL mod.

And I just moved it into My Documents. Nothing.

General Support / Crashy crash crash...

« on: January 07, 2013, 03:44:51 AM »

Um, well, it crashes yeah. But the crashes got worse to the point of... crashing when I'm selecting teams/bots. Then crashing after winning a match. And then... crashing during the loading screen. I use Windows 7. Aaaand I love to multi-task, so I put the game in windows mode. So it may have to do with that... Any way to put it back in fullscreen other than going on the game?
