When I run short in ideas for names, usually go to that game and steal some for my bots  :mrgreen:

As soon as I saw it I instantly remembered 2 unit cards from a browser game I used to play.





Maybe you can name your bot after one of these  :rolleyes:

He means like the TV house robots from robot wars as in it would be in a corner and anyone that got close to it would be thrown across the arena.

Oh I got it now. I didn't know the corner bots were called like that. I guess that to be real it would have to be really heavy and pack a huge punch to throw bots a decent distance.

That batbot looks like it'd be a great houserobot should houserobot AI/rulesets ever become possible.

I'm not following you. What do you mean by houserobot?

The problem with cannons is that they fall on the floor half the time......  They are terribly inconsistent no matter what you do.

True, but it looks like there's a pattern in that inconsistency. I made a simple 4 WD car with a cannon and in the test garage the cannon fired flawlessly while stationary but failed every time while moving around. In the arenas the cannon failed all shots, both stationary and moving stances. But if the bot got flipped over, all of the sudden the cannon could fire perfectly.

I suspected it was something with the wheels so I made a flying bot. In the test garage it seemed like there was a random chance of a successful shot. In the arena however somehow, when fighting light weights and medium weights, or perhaps low bots in general, the cannon had about 80% success. But if i fought HWs or tall bots in general, because they interfere with the hover pads, changing the height at which the bot flies, I got a surprising drop of only about 15% or 10% successful shots

Looks cool but is that breaking the rule of 7?

You CAN break the rule of 7 ??!!!!

Does "Upgrade" imply an upgrade to the amount of RAAAAAGE or an upgrade to the usability of it?

It implies usability. That's why i put all that text. It really is a good bot.
The name is the same just because the chassis are the same.

Edit: Sorry I clicked in "modify" your post instead of quote :rolleyes:

Thanks a lot for comments as always  :smile:

This next bot was supposed to be posted here immediately after posting GTM Nightmare. I kept postponing it because of what happened next. I wasn't expecting that reaction of the community. I was expecting more of rage comments. But instead it went way better then predicted :mrgreen:







The chassis of this bot are exactly the same as GTM Nightmare and the 2 anchors were the only components that were kept in place and I designed this bot by thinking what to do with them.
That joke bot came out to be one of the most battle effective HWs I've ever built. Very fast, very maneuverable, a decent amount of weapons. It has spinners but the bot is also an excellent rammer and pusher. It has a self righting system that works around 90% of the time.
(Note that the pics are 5 days old and there was a minor editing not displayed. The wedges were turned into aluminum and the self-righting mechanism into steel to make it more survivable).

>Very Fast and very Agile
>Very good wedges
>Very stable (at least as long as the beater bars of the spinners are intact and not very unbalanced to one side)
>Powerful armament
>Highly versatile
>Compact design
>Not easy to flip over
>Very good self-righting mechanism

>Averagely protected wheels
>The outer angled panels can easily come off and if lost, it drastically reduces the bot's stability
>Ineffective against the majority of spinner bots

Here's another joke bot





The bot specializes in destroying Light weights and lighter bots.
At the right time and right spot it can send bots flying long distances.

2 Small pistons fire a platform up to send the victim airborne and then get struck by the customized baseball bat. It works pretty well. It just needs some skill.

CameraFan, are you sure you want the latest version of GTM Nightmare in the exchange?
I just want to have it, of course you can't battle with it. :P TOO MANY FLAILS

Ok, The bot is in DSL UHW section. Make sure you pause the game before going into the bot lab with it or the game will crash.

Have fun  :smile:

i think you should have stopped at 3, if only because the fourth one seems overblown.

I know being overblown is the point of the bot, but still there is a thing as being too overblown.

I agree with you 100%. But it was request like any other so I accepted and made it happen. This bot is made to be the crappiest and I know most of the cheatbot2 components are good but since they are not very well accepted in showcases, unless it's for exceptional purposes such like this one, I think they would deserve a place as well.

IT HAS A CANNON! PUT IT IN BOTM!  :bigsmile:
Seriously, I think you'd win again.

Entries have to be secret...

Don't worry I won't post this bot. I like to post nice clean bots that have a minimum of sense, lol. I'm not even sure if I will participate in the BOTM.

CameraFan, are you sure you want the latest version of GTM Nightmare in the exchange? You can't even battle with it. I didn't even bother wiring it. But if you really want I'll have no problem doing it.

Someone should grab these last 3 or 4 pages of my showcase and make a sticky titled "How not to build a bot"  :laughing

Here you have GTM Nightmare evolution in a nutshell. All 4 versions are separately saved.

...Does the hovercraft even do anything?

The right question is: Is the bot even playable?

The answer is no. :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone  :smile:

ah kk it's just that almost all botm's have the weight featured so i just figured it was something mandatory.
It actually is usually included in the rules, but apparently not this time. Although, maybe ACAMS edited it out so that he could allow the only good entry.

Nope. He didn't edit anything. I thought about that before working on the splash and wondered if the weight rule was implicit.
So I went to check BOTM of december 2011. 3 of the entries had no weights so I figured I didn't need to put it.

Now put EVERY REPLICA PART on this thing (back it up first because you'll want one copy that doesn't look like someone threw up in a nuclear power station).
Then put it up on the bot exchange.
And it needs still more flails.

I'm having a serious problem understanding what the F*** I've just built.
It has also now become the heaviest bot I ever built.
Tell me when you find a weirder bot than this one please.

Awesomely useless i might say  :mrgreen:

So far I've accepted all requests so I won't turn them down now.
Just a quick and possibly silly question. What are the replica parts? I attempted a search about it but I didn't find anything that could help me identify the parts.

The issue has been solved! Conraaa gave me the needed files for the cannon and it works perfectly. Time for some target practice :mrgreen:
Thanks everybody for the help

You can use this one:

https://gametechmods.com/downloads/DSL21.rar

I will save this download in my PC once and for all. Some weeks ago I had trouble finding this because the links were always broken. Thanks a lot m8  :beer:

Also, use the skis.

Of course! Skis are an obvious choice! They make excellent bumpers






EDIT:
Forgot about the flags, they are a must have.

There's your problem, then. I'm using vanilla dsl and i'm finding it there. But if you like I can bundle up the cannon files and send them to you.

Well, I was going to redownload the DSL 2.1 and make a 3rd RA2 version just to see the cannon. Unfortunately the link of DSL download is broken.

If it's possible to make the cannon available with Nar Ai 2.7 I would really appreciate it, m8
