Decided to take Orc's advice and try rebuilding some old bots to try and regain my building mojo. Here's Lightrider II. Total rebuild compared to the old one. Flipper is much more effective now, being hinged differently and being powered by more powerful bursts (2 mediums). Also upgraded the drive a lot from 2 TWMR singles to 2 TWMR2s wich makes it a lot nippier. Armour is hugely upgraded too with the entire front being steel, and the addition of angled spinner deflector wedgelet things at the front. Also a few extra visual additions but that's about it.

Well after that thunderous response to the last bot here's another.
I think that's because no one likes killaclaw spinners.
It was rather bland too.
You can almost say the same for this new bot.
The front ends of the robot are impressive, but that's about it.
I'm kind of running out of bot designs I can do at this point. I'm not a fan of the recent trend of covering bots in hundreds of little pieces to make them 'less bland' so it really comes down to the inherent design and there's not really much I feel I've got left to explore in that regard. If people genuinely feel like my stuff is getting tired then maybe I'll have to resort to building the bot designs I've promised myself I never would, explore other metas or just quit building for fun rather than just building for tournaments because I'm really at a loss for what else to do right now.

Well after that thunderous response to the last bot here's another. HW flipper with 4NPC fast drive. Way too quick for its own good, and the flipper is fairly underpowered with only 2 very small VDMA bursts for power.

Was watching some old RW:ED and AoD videos while bored and on a nostalgia trip years ago and stumbled upon this: .
The physics looked like they blew the Robot Wars games out of the water so I looked the game up and found the forum. Then immediately realised that stock was nothing like what I saw.
Very similar to how I found RA2, except I found it through this video when I was looking for RW AoD videos:

Are the signups for Season 2 open even to people who didn't enter s1? I'd definitely throw my hat in the ring if so

I wanted to try and do a spinner with sir killalot claws for the teeth that didn't look awful, and this is what I came up with. 2 TWMR2s for drive but it has massive wheels so it's pretty nippy. Wedge is a mix of steel and Ti while everything else is aluminium. Perm 132 for the weapon, 799KG exactly

Really glad you're back building again man. All of these are absolutely gorgeous.

I'll throw my hat in the ring with something again. Hopefully something that puts on a bit of a better show this time.

It might just be the music I'm listening to atm or the background used, but the robot looks like it should be Ice themed.
Otherwise the only negative I can think of with this thing is that the panel underneath the flipping arm should be apart of the arm itself.
The panel not being part of the flipper was deliberate. I wanted to do something more along the lines of gruff from this year's Robogames or the original BB season 3.0 Hexadecimal or where the flipper is pretty much just a skeletal frame rather than a big sheet
Ah, I see. I still feel like the robot looks a lot weirder when the robot has its weapon fired, but I guess I'm not the best person to come to when it comes to talking about aesthetics. Still love the robot.
I may play around making some variations on this bot to see what looks best in the future. Thanks for the feedback though!

Been stuck in t a bit of a rut in terms of building lately but I finally came up with something that I think looks okay. This is Cause and Effect. Should really have used that name for a cluster but I'm not planning on building one of those any time in the near or distant future so I used it on this because it sounds cool.

Looking quite nice, man! Looks like it's all solid and everything belongs where it is, if that makes sense... ^^;
Cheers man  . Glad it at least looks solid even if it's made out of 400 million extenders and explodes if you breathe on it wrong

Here's an underweight SHW that'll probably crash the game if you look at it wrong. Perm 132 for the disc and 4X NPC fasts for the drive. Wedge is all steel and basically everything else is Alu.

I legitimately have no idea why my wedges are so good

My DSL2.2 Mr.Psycho replica is coming along nicely...I think I might be the next Arcane...

Second version looks much better, at least you option to edit it from 4WD down to 2WD and make a srimech. I imagine it can be somewhat combat effective it gets underneath an opponent, overall a lovely bot dude
I could definitely do a srimech if I dropped to 2WD yeah but I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice the speed. It's certainly not the best drumbot combat wise but it should at least be okay though. We'll see how it does Looks neat
Thanks guys

Double post but I've made some pretty significant upgrades to Cosecha. The single flatmotor just wasn't cutting it for the drum so I switched to an Etek, which also necessitated making the drum larger to fully encase it. Much fiddling about later and here's the result. A drum that's about as balanced, still single tooth and may actually do some stuff now. Only downside is I had to drop the front bits from Steel to Ti to get weight but it should still be fine

Here's one. Balance single tooth 4WD drum. No BFE magic cuz I ain't about that shizzlewhizzle so I balanced it by trial and error. Weapon is powered by a single flatmotor so super underpowered but I can't bring myself to use multiple of them since I found out how scummy and broken they are, plus it would defeat the point of having an STD. Drive is 2 TWMR2s and 2 regular TWMRs which works pretty well actually. Not invertable and no srimech so it's not competitive at all but I think it came out looking really cool. Will throw it in Destruction evolution as a free win for whoever faces it.

Man there's some sweet looking robots in here. How long have you quietly been cranking these out for?

Roboteer makes another awesome front hinger, in other news the sky is blue
Blue just like this robot  I like how this became your signature color scheme. The bot itself looks really really nice
Gotta keep that variety by rotating between the 4 different shades of blue every so often
