Let's all take a breather for a few.

I agree that spin motors are terrible for their weight (outside of the flatmotor), but you're probably also gonna want to buff HP across the board for most things so things don't instantly disintegrate on impact.

it's a good build, but I really wish you could get the wheels inside the chassis for that vortex ce vibe.

People aren't just gonna start using the forums more without the discord, they're just going to be more active in other communities.

Whether you guys agree with it or not, the discord is just not some off-topic ground like some of you guys think, it's very much a part of GTM at this point. For new and more active users it is 100% the more preferable venue being both more active and more interconnected with other discord communites. Your actions and relations on the discord very much carry over to the main GTM forum as well as those outside it.
If some of you guys didn't know yet, GTM is a hated community. The whole "gtm is toxic" meme isn't made up, we are by far the most disliked community in the robot combat/ra2 scene. And before any of you asshats say "lol who cares what they think" just keep in my mind people aren't jumping into GTM completely fresh off the bus. Literally every member we've had join in the past year to year and a half has been part of another robot combat related community. People both in and outside of our community take their opinion on us from what they experience both on the forum and the discord, and whether we want to say it's representative of us or not, 90% of the time it's not a positive experience in regards to the discord. People know about GTM and RA2, it's not that we're some obscure site that kids can't find or don't know about, they just don't want to join when they hear how horrible our userbase is (or when they do join our userbase scares them away)
You guys don't have to agree with us any of this, I don't care. But we've tried our best these past months to improve our relations and reputation both with the wider robot combat scene and also with each other. Some of you guys aren't doing anything but sh**ting all over what we've made progress on, and at this point we're done with trying to change this communities attitude. If you aren't willing to change the way you act then I don't see any other solution besides permabanning you from both the discord and forums.
Also fyi for a few of you, the majority of users on this site aren't edgy lolmeme sh**posters. It only seems that way when you literally force them out to other communities with constant garbage posting and '''banter'''. I realized that far too late on the first discord server, and I now realize I picked the wrong side in the drama.

[ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Format
2v2 3 minute matches, all bots being HW.
You must enter as a team with another member (with a team name!). Bonus points for skinning your bots in team colours
2 entries per person per meta. You cannot make a team with yourself. In other words, you can be part of 2 stock and 2 ironforge teams. You cannot enter the same bot twice.
Swiss format leading into a double-elimination playoff bracket
All matchups will be BO1
2 havok restarts per team per match
The arena used will be the Red Zone arena, with hazards off.
16 teams per meta. Signups will only close when all the slots are filled with full teams.
You can signup by yourself as a half-team, in which case I will add you to the signups and allow anyone to join your team. Your spot is not confirmed until you have a teammate to form a full team. A full team can take a half-team's slot if there are no free slots remaining.
Building restrictions
(Stock only) One SnS per team
(Stock only) 36HS banned. Bots that are basically 36hs made to circumvent this rule will be rejected. Hybrid bots are fine, as are RAD spinners and other not-tryhard bots.
One popup per team
Meltybrain is banned
All RA2CF features banned for stock. RO7 break allowed for IF.
Custom skins for components are legal, just make sure you include a download link in your submission
Otherwise, standard Ironforge/Stock building rules apply.
My Entries
I will enter with Brain Power and Outwedge Devourer in Stock, ? and ? in Ironforge (I'll have these ready before I move to signups). PM me if you want to make a team with me!

https://parsecgaming.com/
another game streaming service like nvidia gamestream, but it doesn't require an nvidia gpu and it allows multiple connections. it's not perfect, and decent amount of the people probably won't be able to fully use it, but it's the best way we've tried so far.
I recently came across this and instantly thought of RA2. came here to post about it. Its cool thats its already been found. and by another geese!?
d-dad??

those look good, but the lack of any bottom panels is kind of off putting

personally I just think most of gtm are more content with regular Ra2, with ai battles and for me personally, the set up time for parsec isnt worth the consistant usage. Id love to use it more, but I just straight up cba with the setup for it.
this tbqhfam Also, I don't want to be a dick, but I think a decent amount of members lack the required PC specs/internet speed to host somewhat playable games.

I'll be hosting it this month in Dragonfire's absence. As such, we'll try a few changes to see if we can bring a little more interest than previous belts. You have until 23nd of May to send me a bot if you wish to compete. Anyone is allowed to enter regardless if they've had a challenge in the past 3 months.This month we'll be doing Ironforge MW: Middleweight weight limit (200kg)
IF-Standard
You can use up to four ballasts without it affecting your weight
No RA2CF, BFE, AAM, etc.
Rule of 7 break is not allowed
SNS cannot use melty-brain AI
Crawlers are not permitted
No cheatbot2 components
Multibots are not allowed
Custom AI will be permitted, however it cannot do anything that a human-controlled robot cannot do.
Robots must show controlled movement
Arena will be the GTMCS 2 Arena.
2:00 match time
If things go to plan and staff stops being lazy the winner will also receive a special award they can display on their profile using the new awards system. glhf

2 redbirds in a black
also i'm pretty sure stacking is based on how powerful your pc is/fps. i couldn't stack worth a sh** on my old ass pc from the 90's, but i can stack components out the top of the chassis on my current rig.

I'm willing to take it over and try some new ideas for it if your okay with it.

the problem with stock is that everything about it is invalidated by ra2cf. nobody actually does snapper loading, advance stacking, or any type of glitch for that matter anymore lol. the only point of those glitches is to decide what is and what isn't legal with ra2cf (which also doesn't matter because very few members know what is and isn't legal in the bot lab) also to be blunt, stock is pretty much dead now with the majority of the active userbase

decently woke
flails on the outside really aren't gonna do much, I'd move them inwards or beef up the center flails. Also I'd drop some maces to either make the bot higher up off the ground or add some bottom caster armor

I want to overcome the problems I had while I used to be active here. I shot myself in the foot, aside from Battlebots, by making tournaments that were too gimmicky and were based around things I liked instead of things people wanted to take part in. Since the tournaments section has an abundance of DSL IRL tournaments, I want to go back to basics, both for me and for RA2.
BACK TO BASICS
- Stock 1.4 HW.
- Combat Arena.
- I will AI. If you provide an AI, however, yours will be used (no meltybrain).
- I will not enter a robot, as per usual.
- I cannot promise any prizes, but I would like to give one out.
- Building Rules:
- No BFE/AAM/Hax Mode, etc.
- No cheatbot2.
- All AI parts are allowed, as well as the 140cm extender and blue snapper.
- SnS bots are allowed.
- No multibots.
- Bot must have at least 2 wheels used to move itself in a controlled manner.
- Any use of RA2CF is not allowed.
- Max of 3 robots per person.
- Robots may be updated until signups close.
- Tournament Specifics:
- 1v1 battles.
- 3 minute time limit.
- Two havok restarts will cause the robot to lose its current match.
- Participants are unlimited as of right now.
- I would like to use a swiss system; however, the number of participants may not allow it.
- Robots are initially in one pool, either completely unseeded or seeded in a single list. (0-0)
- After the first round of matches, half the robots will have one win (1-0) and half the robots will have one loss (0-1).
- For the second round, only teams with the same record can play each other (1-0 vs. 1-0, 0-1 vs. 0-1).
- The third round works the same way, but with three different pools (2-0 vs. 2-0, 1-1 vs. 1-1, 0-2 vs. 0-2).
- The process continues until there are only a specified number of robots left (typically half).
- No two robots may play each other twice.
Let me know if you would be interested, and if there's any changes I should make!
The quoted rules cannot change. glhf

Amy suggestions on how GTM can be improved are welcome. But yes, we're taking it one step at a time, and website changes probably are gonna be further down on the chopping block.
