Downgrade wheels to Vlads and use 3 ant batts instead of the red
Why is everybody saying use 3 ant batts? They weigh 4.5KG more, for only 2 amps!
A discovery by Click found out that, for full power, motors only need 1 ant to run. So yeah, you're running 3 motors on the battlepack, but you could run then on full power with 3 ants. At least that's how I understand it. There's a topic on it somewhere (About electotal and stuff like that.) EDIT: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2654.0.html

Are you going to enter BBEANS 6?
Seriously, what is that? I dont know.
*Prepared for embarrasment*
BBEANS is the biggest tournament out there, run by one of the admins and general all-round-awesome-builder, Clickbeetle
Now i'm instantly hooked. How do I join?
Signups open 2nd April. It's DSL LW this year, and signups will fill up quite quickly. I believe Click's going 64-bot again this time.

I LIKE CAPS TOO.
This is a very odd day for RA2. Many newbies pop up and start tournaments. This one isn't in the right section and has no rules.
This is why we have rules.

I think i has finally done it.
*pic*
Now Invertible, and with (hopefully) a better blade!
Looking nice! :D Shinies aren't the best wheels in DSL but given the weight allowance, I think they're a good choice. To make any more observations, I'd need to see the insides, sorry :P

Oh and before someone else mentions it, the blue control board is a bit bigger but saves a kilo :D

Don't worry about Stag. This thread can be renamed.
My opinion on Kaiza 2 is... it's alright.
General stuff... 1 ant per motor (unless there's bursts)
Aluminium is terrible so Titanium is a defo improvement.
Use a DSL disc instead of those anglers on the motor - much more HP.
Lastly, Multi-Extenders (red and black) do the same stuff as base anchors, but weigh 2 kg less.
(:

Is there anything I can do to stop my ant going crazy?
*has had many similar issues* I dunno about Thy but the axles on the motors can go ballistic. I don't think it's AGOD, but often I try to turn and it goes ballistic.

Right, who actually wants to enter?
Don't go asking that yet, at the moment this is still in discussion stage. It must progress to the signups stage before you get people into it. In discussion you sort out the rules and format, and make sure there is enough interest. You can then make a signups topic. I'm sure this is in some kinda rules thingy somewhere XD EDIT: Yeah, see here https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,1053.0.html (#8 onwards is what you need to look at)

I may enter. And it would be great if FOTEPX and TeamExtreemer teamed up to host this, as both seem very enthusiastic :)

Ok, this is how you treat a newcomer!?
Everywhere I turn, there is kind way of trying to annoy me. I go to antweight, uplaod a bot, say it's good, and i get loads of things basically saying i fail. Now that I have started a Beetleweight tournament, people are annoyed that "everybody" is starting a competition!!!
Yeah, cause 2 people is a lot.
Oh yeah, i'm following all the rules. If this is blocked, then the Mods are unfair.
PS: I taught him how to AI now, so it doesnt matter...
I apologize, I guess times are changing (Hell, I've only been here a year) but it's usually been the more experienced members who run tournaments, while general members enter and showcase their bots, again I apologize, but we need to be able to know you will carry the tournament out, if that makes any sense.
Ok, i understand, but I really don't care. Just cause I haven't been here long doesn't mean i'm a pathetic N00B. Ok?
Fair enough, you may not be a pathetic n00b, but if you'd have been here over the past few months, you would probably understand that we get more than our fair share of pathetic n00bs and we just don't know who to trust. Sorry XD

I really do think we need restrictions on who can start tournaments, cos people (no offense FOTEPX - I'm sure you're a nice enough guy :P) are just coming along left right and center and starting tournaments and we don't even know them.

I would join but I'm in the same situation as Thy. 1 decent DSL AW is hard enough to build, let alone 2.

Is it just me, or last time some randomer came in and started a tournament, we all 'gave him a chance' but it ended up completely messed up and someone else (Thanks again G.K) had to take over. I don't think running a tournament is a good idea unless you've been here long enough - and posted enough maybe - for people to KNOW you are able. I know people will get upset if they try entering a tournament for it to end up in a ditch somewhere.

Roughly equal parts for me... It was really RA2 based until a few months back when I realised how much I liked Valve :P
So yeah, equal with Half-Life, Portal, Guitar Hero (Yeah not Valve I know :P) and stuff like that ^_^
