The Bullring is so awesome.  Wish I had TV.  Will be keeping track of the race online.

#1 won me over when I noticed that the pole spikes emerge from perfect little holes in the front of the bot.  <3 <3 <3  (yeah, I dig little details)

Bot Submitted.

It is based off a Hammer from the game Guild Wars.

Though... it's a Rammer.

It's a Rammer Hammer.   :gawe:

2. Such a wide variety of interests people have on these forums who come from different parts of the World From the USA to places like Australasia.


We have a member named PwnBlo.  He's australasian.


Edit:  XD  sorry... couldn't resist.  I do like the points you make about the community though!

you totally should send that for BoF.

It is a Heavyweight.

Feedback on the bot:  Looks cool.  I like how you skinned the flipper.  But, why is the bot skinned so plainly?  I think it could look much better in that dept.

It would look even better if the wheels were further up, just behind the Tazbot wedges.
 
Isn't that weapon too good for IRL though?

Hmmm. I might play with the setup some more. I wouldn't mind ditching the shiny hubs in favor of wheels that look more realistic as well.

As for the weapon, I think the drum is on par with IRL drums.  The razors might be pushing it a bit though.  I am not entirely happy with the Razors attached there, might change it around or scrap it.

Thanks for the feedback!

Great job skinning. They look great. Also, did El Chupacabra have a flipper before? I thought those Vlad spikes were static before.

Yeah Chalupa Chupacabra had the flipper before. Makes for some interesting damage capabilities with slow bots... but it doesn't have enough power to flip anything though.

This was going to be my Battlebots 2 entry.  Missed signups by a few hours  :rage .   I am aiming to enter it into BB3 hopefully.

I love the look of the first one (and second one :P), but the weapon choice is sort of non-IRL IMO.

Youuuuuu be quiet.  You're just going to talk him into making it more efficient and powerful.   ;)

This Fire: excuse me jack but wtf is this mess
This Fire - It could beat a few of the rammers...?  Yeah, not sure what this does.

Nary made me lol

My bot truly is a mess.  I waited until the last minute with a concept in mind for the tourney... but the concept didn't work out well at all   I anticipated this would be a Rammer-fest, so I wanted to build a bot that would slice through the underbelly of opponents via wedge.

When it was coming down to deadline time, I had a semi-functional bot built with a ton of extra weight to play with.  The wedge was too shallow for me to pack anything in front for defense, so it is horribly naked.  In the end I pushed it to the weight limit with a couple of Axes and whatnot.

With the AI, the 4HPZ drive should charge the opponent as if it were a rammer.  If the wedge is successful, the ride up and over should do plenty of damage to the opponents wheels (which was the goal). 

But yeah... its a mess.  XD

Off-Topic Discussion / Re: Photoshop help?
« on: August 18, 2011, 04:01:03 AM »
Somewhere in Photoshop there should be a setting that allows you to see the layers of the image.  You are probably doing a lasso in a layer that doesn't have anything to cut out.  Once you find the layers, click on the base layer "background" and then use the lasso.  It should cut/copy from there instead of an empty layer.

My version of PS is much older, so I can't really give you step-by-step.  But once you figure out how to manipulate the image in layers things will work out better.

Off-Topic Discussion / Combat Robots on Netflix.
« on: August 17, 2011, 04:57:27 PM »
So... I was browsing through the Netflix DVD catalog and found this:

http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Metal_Munching_Maniacs_Robot_Assault/70002440?trkid=496624

Totally made me "Squeeeeeeeeeee!"

Now, the star rating from users isn't very high for this DVD, but it's combat robotics I will take anything.

It just came in the mail today.  I hope to watch it later this evening... (or some of it.  It is over 2 hours long!)

Report on it to come later.  :D

Man this is a tough choice.

I will have to vote for NQRW2.  Mainly because I really enjoyed the challenge.
