Oooh.. yeah. It only has similarities in the weapon and I suppose drive system though.
The original version used beater bars.. I'd consider going back to them if they didn't leave such a gap in the middle of the bot where the discs wouldn't reach.

Hasn't had to so far. The titanium sheet-stop version got beached. Since the angled extender is much lower down I think it'd brush the discs/teeth, so atleast it has a theoretical chance.

EDIT: What is Shilka?

Awesome. DETERGENCY's first official victory it seems.

Thanks. Nah, they don't.. atleast in NAR AI.
Anyway;

If it's one thing I'm known for, it's pitting my lighter bots in ridiculous matches. Another thing is winning them.



Had a go at HazCon LW. Titanium 1mm I believe. Control board is debatable in realism but the extra KG left means it can still exist in it's current form with a micro control board.
Previous version had a 40mm titanium sheet on a multi-extender for a pinning device. Didn't offer enough space so it was opened up with this angled extender. Does a good job so far.

Debatably underpowered. (3 ants feeding 2 mags/2 piglets)

Also been working on my CC4 entry. Slaughters Devil III, gives Shebeast a good run before getting pinned, and lasts 3 minutes with Circle of Thorns III without backing off for a second.

Aw, do you -have- to have a steering wheel?
... Actually, I don't really need to say that, aslong as MungoGamer works... (iPod app with a steering wheel interface that lets you connect to your PC through WIFI and use it as a game steering wheel. Works fully)

Still, the monthly subscription is disheartening.

Oh finally, a comment.

Well, they sure seem to be working fine... but either way the bot's really intended for show.

So I moved to make a bot for the August BOTM after hearing about it - on the 31st July (Yeah, I'm well out of it)
Finished it today to find the votes are already being made.



Spins downwards. It's competent for a bot only intended for show but not definitely not a ground breaking design. Ravages any wedge it can get under.

*Just finished his entry today*  :FFFUUU
Most of the competitors aren't so good either...

I'll go post it in my showcase or something.


Hard choice between the good ones. I can't say.

we have a perfectly good inbuilt image host right here on GTM

I forget we do, much like the ZIP(/bot) uploader.

Won't take much thought to get that into context.

I meant the first bot that he has showcased in this showcase. And I think I have heard of him.

I guess I'm the only one who hasn't a clue then.

Site News and Feedback / Re: how does one achieve Veteran status?
« on: July 28, 2010, 04:40:15 PM »
Perhaps there should be a voting process.

I vote that I stay in charge of that............VOTING CLOSED!
 
How was that?

Tck.  :p

'Twas just a suggestion. I initiated no vote.  :gawe:

I   don't see how that logic is crappy. If someone's been around the RA2   community for a while (let's arbitrarily say five years) and has been an   active/contributing member for most of that time, they've been around   long enough to be considered a veteran in my eyes. So, if you've been   around for that long then yes, you should be a vet as well.
 
The   problem here is few people here agree on what the criteria for a veteran   is. I'm getting the sense that quite a few people view building skill   as the main factor in determining veteranship, but I disagree with this.   toAst and frezal from what I've seen aren't nearly as skilled builders   as Virus Bomb, Pwnator and The Ounce and I've never even seen Serge   build a bot. But why do we consider them vets? Because they've been   around the community for a long, long time. Building skill should be the   main factor in the Advanced User group, but tenure definitely defines a   vet.

Well, yeah. The crappy logic call came from how it was apparently just for timespan in the community. Deeds should have a stronger influence.
