Well,, you guys were close... Gaspy did in fact make it through to the final, but lost out to... TECHNOFREAK! Gaspy just couldn't get underneath Technofreak soon enough, and Technofreak took control of the fight, and then took Gaspy, out of the arena. Now then, onto the next six! First up, Skorpinoid: Made it to the heat final, only to lose out to Kill Bot Kun. This machine has been revised and revamped so many times it seems almost impossible for this bot to get any better. Aside from the exposed wheels, this bot is pretty much perfect. https://i.imgur.com/zPL1WPm.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/xDZspPV.jpgNext up, Blue Moose: Another heat finalist, this Toro-esque flipper showed some real promise in it's debut, only to be torn apart in a rematch against Nonja. But with only a sub-par spinner in this heat, can he take the win? https://i.imgur.com/BnZhrX3.jpgUp next, Metal Scorpion: Another scorpion bot, another heat finalist. This machine used it's weird lifter as a means of confusing and out-maneuvering it's opponents. But that was in a heat full of sub-par robots. How will he hand in this fiercer battlefield? https://i.imgur.com/ExnCQEM.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/n0QHxfR.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/1K5fmy5.jpgFrom the Netherlands, Creamsicle: Yet ANOTHER heat finalist, this guy lost out to Tornado of Terror in the second heat finals. With a very durable frame, this bot was able to withstand a whole 4 minutes with U.S.O, the deadliest robot in competition. However, it's low top speed and difficulty to get under robots may melt this creamsicle. https://i.imgur.com/c72ZDNI.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/kOdb4iB.jpgFrom Sweden, Junko: This bot tried it's best, but got it's ass kicked by the Japanese machine Manslaughter in the final. This bot is invertable, fast, and can occasionally do damage. However, it's VERY vulnerable to flippers. It's actually quite fun to see this oddly-shaped bot fly through the air, bouncing on either his weapon or wheels. https://i.imgur.com/ZqPqARZ.jpgAnd finally, Silver Knight: One of the coolest looking robots in competition, this "walkerbot" has showns it's worth by making it through two whole rounds in it's respective heats, even taking out a seasoned veteran in the process. However, I'm not sure if this bot can pull off a miracle again. Only time will tell. https://i.imgur.com/iDoMsoF.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/GIu7LC7.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/ZqPqARZ.jpgWho's gonna win? LEAVE YOUR GUESS IN A COMMENT BELOW! And I'll let ya'll know tomorrow, and introduce you to the final wild-card! After that, it's the semi-finals!

All your recommendations have been brought in to the wildcard! There were 5 fan-selected bots, 9 heat finalist bots, and 4 bots that I picked. There will be 3 heats of 6, and the first one is today! First up, Onyx: One of the heat finalists, thus automatically given a second chance through the wild card. However, the only reason this bot made it so far was because of the mediocre heat it participated in. How will it do this time? https://i.imgur.com/0y4KLsv.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/EXKU1Ix.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/wCE9o6U.jpgNext up, Poseidon: This lethal veteran BARELY had a chance to represent itself, so I gave it another chance. It's a shell-spinner with a scri-mech, considered by some to be the apex of Bot Wars design. https://i.imgur.com/iKXN4AZ.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/jPbOqXl.jpgUp next, Caustic Caution Reborn: Same story goes for this robot. I believe it can do better. It also came from the same heat as Poseidon. https://i.imgur.com/DLp3arB.jpgAll American Redneck: Brought in to the wild card due to an amazing design. It under-performed in it's heat, presumable because one of the many flippers in that heat exploited it's ground clearance. https://i.imgur.com/3rtP5LC.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/EHo9x30.jpgFrom Japan, Gaspy: Speaking of which, here's one of the bots from that heat. This adorable little flipper has a lot of power, but almost no armor. Will it survive the spinners of this heat? https://i.imgur.com/tCrwjA8.jpgAnd finally, Technofreak: This bot's good looking and unique design earned it a wild card, but can it perform up to the expectations of the hype? Only time will tell... https://i.imgur.com/wRwmHyY.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/dMqqKgd.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/Lg2EIHo.jpgWho will win? Leave your guess down below and tomorrow I'll reveal who made it through.

Usually I'm not a fan of DSL-S robots, but this one looks kinda nice. Reminds me of an IRL bot I made called massacre.

I'll start the play-off heats tomorrow, so if there's any more bots you want back in the tournament, I suggest you say so now!

« on: March 11, 2018, 12:04:03 PM »
If you guys each had a second choice for wild-card, who'd ya'll pick?
446
« on: March 10, 2018, 08:05:24 PM »
Rhino looks cool so i'll pick this one
and i have enough bots for a small comp pretty sure, not sure what to do for an arena tho
I just use a bunch of K'nex.
447
« on: March 10, 2018, 03:17:08 PM »
you're gonna make me wanna do an actual comp with all my lego bots, all i need is an arena
Lol. Who do you think should be given a wildcard? In addition to the previous bots mentioned.

#Gaspy4Wildcard
Noted. If replies do die out I'll let people vote for multiple bots each.

Man, Vice Grip deserves a wild card for looking awesome even though it probably wont get far
Vice Grip has been shown to be dangerous before. Perhaps a second chance will let us see it.
450
« on: March 08, 2018, 08:45:00 PM »
If not enough people show this love then I guess just pick your favourite, I wanna see how this ends either way
Ok, that sounds like a plan.

Circuit Chipper is pretty cool, rooting for it
Although a cool machine, unfortunately it didn't make it to the final. Instead, the winner was KILL BOT KUN! It was against Skorpinoid. Despite Skorpinoid managing to take off a wheel, Kill Bot Kun later mad Skorpinoid take off into the air, and out of the arena! And with that, that's all the robots in the tournament introduced. 9 winners, 45 losers. 9 of those losers will automatically get a wild card for making it into the finals, but the other 9 will be decided by YOU GUYS! Unless, you know, nobody comments at all.  I'll make a picture soon of all the robots that are eligible to qualify for the 3 wild card heats. I'll see you then!

Maybe Ramminator but this is a tough one to call as they all seems a pretty similar standards, no bot really stand out
He's a good bot, but, believe or not, he lost... ...to the walkerbot Silver Knight! It was a weird battle, Ramminator living up to it's name and ramming at his opponent, only to be twisted and turned around by Silver Knight's arms. A well-aimed poke in the right places took off not one but TWO of the wheels on Ramminator. Ramminator backed up into Mr.Psycho's hammer TWICE trying to line up for a big hit, getting damaged at the back, and also taking away strategy points that could've won him the match. Unfortunately, all he scored was aggression, whilst Silver Knight scored on damage. But that's not the final. No, Silver Knight didn't even make it past the next round after that fight. No, the true winner of it all was... Beatle! It was...a really boring final between Beatle and Onyx. I barely remembered the fight other than that it has to be unspectacular. I almost forgot it was Onyx who made it to the final in the first place. Anyway, on to the next heat, which will introduce the last of our competitors: First up, Dozer: A complete newcomer of an unusual design. It's divided in half because of it's sri-mech, has a 4 wheel drive, and a pair of lifting forks that double as an anti-spinner wedge. However it's not the highest quality build in this group and has no previous experience. It's an untested design. https://i.imgur.com/BOT5irx.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/qmiEqV6.jpgUp next, Skorpinoid: A powerful red crusher robot with smoothly integrated sri-mech arms. It's a constant competitor that's been around for a while but has had mediocre success. https://i.imgur.com/zPL1WPm.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/xDZspPV.jpgNext up, Vice Grip: A large horizontal crusher. That's...pretty much it. It's got big exposed wheels and a decent design, hasn't been around for that long and hasn't had much success. https://i.imgur.com/tYCuX29.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/IZ3mhVz.jpgFrom the United Arab Emirates, Circuit Chipper: Once was the most brutal robot in Bot Wars history. It was the apex of spinners for a long, long time. But recently, it's been struggling to keep it's top-dog status against modern designs, and is rather outdated. It still can pack a whallop though, so maybe it has a chance... https://i.imgur.com/qU3jkTC.jpgFrom Japan, Kill-Bot-Kun: This hyperactive box on wheels hasn't had much success, however this new flipper looks promising. It can take quite a few hits but it's vulnerable to crushers, since it's wheels can be easily torn off. https://i.imgur.com/PG0NYTK.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/uyCaJUZ.jpgAnd finally, Springer: A spring-loaded flipper. Does it work? Well, yeah, but it can get jammed. It has the power to toss robots over but he needs a separate sri-mech on top of it for self-righting. Also, it's weapon is usually always up, and can only stay sprung down for limited periods of time, so he's gotta be VERY precise with when and how he gets underneath other robots. https://i.imgur.com/3L51URv.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/GvH27mf.jpgSo, who do you think is gonna win this one? Leave a comment below! Also, what competitors do you think deserve a second chance? We've got 3 wild-card heats and 18 spots. 9 of them were taking up by the heat finalists that lost, but the other nine are up to YOU. I'll get a picture of them together and you can decide which ones get another chance. Choose wisely and be sure to read up on their respective heat descriptions. I'll organize them by heat as well. I don't remember the order in which they lost though. Sorry.

But my replicas look like horse feces! I am a man in need, don't you see?
It literally just comes down to practicing and being extra critical of your work. If a task seems exhausting, take a break or something, only work when you're fired up. Making replicas is different from having an IRL job or school. You just need to grind through and get the job or schoolwork done decently enough. Replica making isn't like that. It takes more time and full effort, investment, concentration, and motivation. Otherwise you're just dragging on and slaving over a project you don't care about enough to do sufficiently to the standards of what you imagine how good it can be.

Prowler is beautiful and I'm rooting for it
Sadly...he was either the first or second robot to get eliminated. (I forgot which, I think I need to actually keep record of these damn fights.) And the winner was...MANSLAUGHTER. He took on the swede machine Junko whom he tossed around relentlessly, but not as relentlessly as he did to Maximus, in an earlier bout, where he threw him into the arena back wall 4 times in a row. Anyway, on to the next heat: First up, Onyx This mediocre crusher bot doesn't do much damage, but it's great at grappling with opponents. It's also got sri-mech arms. Not too sure about this robot's chances... https://i.imgur.com/0y4KLsv.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/EXKU1Ix.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/wCE9o6U.jpgUp next, from somewhere in Europe, Jester: A newcomer to the series, Jester aspires to be the deadliest sit-n-spin robot in Bot Wars history. Really? With that skinny little hammer? Pfft, whatever you say. To be fair though, this robot looks pretty well built, probably can endure a lot of abuse at the hands of competitors, maybe even dish a few decent blows of his own. He's also got an anti-spinner bar at the back which doubles as a counter-weight to the hammer. https://i.imgur.com/YqUF6bM.jpgNext up, Beatle: An entry from my cousin! I of course had to rebuild it in order to be more competitive. It's now a 2-wheel drive lifter-bot, with some fancy horns. But can it lift it's chances of success? https://i.imgur.com/tKcBoMI.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/jIqUYqC.jpgSilver Knight: This humanoid "walkerbot" is slow, heavy, but has immense swagger. It's a very articulate bot with a moving sword and shield, and a waist-swivel that would make JobbyTheHong proud. However, this robot has never won a fight in any of the 3 previous tournaments it competed in. https://i.imgur.com/iDoMsoF.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/GIu7LC7.jpgRamminator: Would you believe me if I told you this bot was once a finalist? This 4-wheel-driven box of pure aggression is the reason why "weaponless" robots are permitted in Bot Wars: Not only can they be fodder for more destructive robots, they also can put up an aggressive show. The chassis is strong, and so is the spike, but the wheels are exposed. https://i.imgur.com/HOGTLQY.jpgAnd finally, Big Bad Biter: The one of the pioneers of the crushing claw in Bot Wars, this bot hasn't aged well. It's an ugly design but could show promise, it's got a sri-mech but it's wheels are vulnerable. https://i.imgur.com/yyw1yYa.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/pKwDM0R.jpgWho won? Leave a guess down below, and I'll tell you tomorrow whilst introducing our last set of competitors! See ya then!

NOBODY is making a better bot than this.
*Eyebrow twitches* Seriously though, this is an awesome robot!

Does your new laptop have an nvidia GPU? I had similar issues with the latest nvidia drivers, once I rolled back to a version a year or so old the issues went away
I'm not sure. One possibility is that my dad, who had tried tinkering my new laptop to play Diablo 1, may have changed the compatibility settings or something.
HEY, I'M NOT TAKING THE FALL FOR THIS !!!!
/X]'
I tried the DSL 2.2 FULL VERSION and it crashed as soon as I started a match no matter what compatibility settings I used. HOWEVER, if I left the video quality setting on low, the match started fine with no crash.
Not sure about other parts of the game though, seems pretty buggy to me.
XD Hey dad. The game itself crashed IMMEDIATELY when I tried starting it. I couldn't even get to the match, it wouldn't load the start menu. It just failed instantly.

Turret Syndrome, just because of the name really 
It is a great name, but unfortunately Turret Syndrome was the first bot to be eliminated that heat. And the winner was...SON OF DORIS! It was a brutal final between him and Metal Scorpion, who used its weird lifter tactics to advance far. But, Son of Doris used it's crusher to break part of that lifter, and totally shattered Scorpion's chances by removing a wheel in the process. Now we're on to the next heat: First up, Steampunk Reject: A beautifully built crusher-bot with self-righting arms and immense swagger. One of the most durable designs in Bot Wars. Problem is, his weapon only damages certain bots, and he doesn't fare well against flippers. https://i.imgur.com/zM8ZV0Y.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/vmsLL4g.jpgNext up, Shazam: This robot has it's internals attached to the underside of the flipper. He's not the first robot to do this. He used to be 2 wheel drive but now he's upgraded to 4 and has an anti-spinner bar at the back. It's a decent flipper but has a high ground clearance overall. How do you think this bot will do? https://i.imgur.com/P58AiFx.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/JWcAne7.jpgUp next, Maximus: The biggest flipper in Bot Wars by area, this bot looks cool and deadly but it's been plagued with design problems since it's debut. This bot also has it's internals attached to it's flipper. https://i.imgur.com/WABq2PH.jpgFrom Japan, Manslaughter: This formidable former world champion has a powerful drive setup and a great pair of heavily reinforced flipping forks. (Hey, that rhymes!) This bot is one to look out for, but as of recently it's been less successful. I wonder why... https://i.imgur.com/KSIrtes.jpgFrom Sweden, Junko: This bot has been through many redesigns, one of which became a champion, whilst the rest were mostly crap. This version is a Tombstone-style spinner with a mildly effective weapon. He's invertable and fast, so he may be able to dodge all the flippers. https://i.imgur.com/ZqPqARZ.jpgAnd finally, Prowler: A newcomer to the series, this rookie has an articulated drive system, similar to car steering. It has a grinding saw on a moveable arm, which doubles as a sri-mech. Problem is that this robot has exposed wheels and a weak weapon. Will it prowl on towards it's grave? https://i.imgur.com/fMXcv4I.jpgWho won? Leave a guess down below! Or just comment on what you think of these competitors, either will do.
