I don't enter many of these. Does "Realistic Rule - IRL Realism" imply the innards have to be realistic as well?

I live about 2 hours away from Crewe, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. It's a piece of robot combat history, but it's also a pile of junk.
can you post a pic? i'm not familiar with it and google won't bring it up
The pile of junk we've been talking about ATM? It's a super heavyweight called Siren who's only televised match was during the series 2 grudge match special

Good to know things are getting at least a bit better on yours and DS7's end despite the stuff you two have been through lately.
Also, good to see a solid list of teams. A bit disappointed that Mortis and Black Hole are no longer listed though.
In regards to the new/improved robots and the reskinned arena, they look great. Not much more to say on that front. Is Mangler a new house robot?

Not sure if this is important, but I thought I'd might as well ask. When Wham was working on his pack, he included a bunch of miscellaneous parts (sirens, eyes, etc.) that would take up the "Extras" components section, not too dissimilar to how the official RW games handle them. Will this be continued in the official mod?

Hello
I have news, I will be taking a week to 2 weeks off from the GTM forms due to my health becoming more and more unstable, I will be still working on the mod but all news will be coming from HB for the time being hope you can understand
Sad news. Still, you shouldn't be working too hard while you're unwell. In fact, I'd probably suggest not working on the mod while you're off so you can recover better. We'd rather have a slower release but you in better health, rather than a rush job and you being in terrible health.

S3's logo shouldn't be too much a problem since it uses a Stencil font. Finding good pictures of the wheelhubs maybe a bit tricky though. In regards to Mortis, isn't it possible to AI the lifting arm to only work as its srimech?
Minor Tom looks great. Just curious if its lifting arm will work like it does IRL.

and how many times have we said that we are not taking requests?
By the way, I'm permitting suggestions for a bit, are there any robots you lot think I am missing out that truly deserve to be in the game from being a significant part of Robot Wars History?
A suggestion is when you put something forward for consideration. Eg. "Maybe Cassius could be a good pick because of blah blah blah". A request is when you tell someone to do something. Eg. "I request that you make Cassius" Also, I've taken most of the suggestions people have submitted here, and made a strawpoll to see what suggestions are the most popular. However, it's a question of what robots truly deserve to be in, not your personal favourites. I didn't include some suggestions because they either might be getting updated anyway (Terrorhurtz, Chaos 2), are already on the master list (Thor, Grim Reaper), or can't be put in due to contract reasons (Killerhurtz, Envy). http://strawpoll.me/2616333As this isn't an offical poll from either HB or daleksec, I don't expect any results from it to reflect on what they do. I just made it to see what suggestions the community liked the most overall.

Well since you asked: Pulverizer - The Second Dutch Series champion. Sure, it may not be as destructive as the likes of S3 and 259, but beating out a bunch of other robots to become champion of their home nation is worth taking note of. Black Hole/Luzifer - Either one is fine. Black Hole, German Series champion, was an effective robot, even by UK and US standards at that point in time. It really showed what Germany was capable of in terms of robot combat. Failing that, Luzifer is its successor, and it's a shame I haven't seen many clips of it. Philipper 2 or Hard - Philipper 2 was runner up in both the second Dutch Championship and the European Championship. Might not be the most effective robot, but deserves noting because of it's achievements in both of those events. Failing that, Hard could be decent Belgian representative Updated S3 and Supernova - They were in DSL since 1.0 I believe, so updated versions of them for both this and DSL 3 would be pretty cool. Not much work to be done on S3 since the body component already exists, but Supernova needs looking at. Both were decent spinners, and Supernova was runner up in the Third World Championship. Mortis - Series 1 and 2 semi-finalist and first War of Independence champion. A robot that was both hyped up and villified by the producers, Mortis has a reputation like none other in Robot Wars history. I believe Wham already made a chassis component that's in the 2013 pack's component folder, so it should just be a matter of working from there Pitbull - Underrated robot from series 3. Probably the most successful robot styled after an animal because it reached the series 3 semi-finals. More of a personal preference, but it did have some success Napalm - Not that effective in terms of weaponry, durability, reliability, or style, but would be fun to see smashed up. Also, it's a series 2 semi-finalist if that counts for anything

Sweet-looking Satanics there. Will some of the weapons for these robots be availible in the bot lab?
Also, I remember you were looking into Sewer Snake and Luzifer a while back. Do you still have plans to include those robots, or does the RW contract prevent you from using them?

Nice work. Does BOW have any offensive capabilities?

I'm not sure how many this applies to, but it does for Merlin anyway:
Although Merlin is a Robots Live robot, it still tried to qualify for Robot Wars. Does that mean that it would technically be allowed in or not?
Doesn't really count since it never appeared on the show.

I can't see Storm 2 and Big Nipper being too much of an issue. They were on the show, and Storm 2 does carry the title of Robot Wars World Champion. Also, didn't Kronic and Big Nipper appear in Robot Wars events last year? Best to be safe and check though.

Looks great. Shame the piece of baguette on the back has gone though. Extra component perhaps?
Also, any plans for more old robots?
56
« on: September 03, 2014, 12:51:46 PM »
Mace looks pretty good. Does this mean we'll be seeing more robots representing past series?
57
« on: September 01, 2014, 09:09:43 AM »
Not much to go on at the moment, but the overall shape looks accurate.

Dystopia looks great, but I'm not really much of a fan of the robot itself. The paint job feels abit tacky.
Really liking Limpet. Nice extra bit of detail with the piece of bread on the back.

Nice work on the arena, Daleksec. Will the floor spikes be included once it's done? I do indeed offer services for designing custom components ect but I do not make replicas for people unless they own the robot themselves.
Welp. Time to hunt down Crusader and Pitbull

Nice work, HB. Can't wait to see more of Daleksec's work as well. Just curious if Big Nipper works like to real thing. Also, good to know you had fun during the Northern Tour. I'd like to request the Tiberius series 1 2 3 and 4 I made the original Tiberius with a servo motor with t connected extenders to stop the crusher go 360 degrees
Don't post requests unless you're planning on paying for them.
