why wouldnt it fire? i was just wondering if i make it a hammer if it would count as both a hammer and a rammer (using up two types on your allowed types list) or if it would just count as one.
I thought you were using it to stack the extra razors. Yep it uses up 2 types.

for my mw: if i have a giant ramming rack, and then have a snapper2 with like 2 razors on it; does that count as a hammer?
Does it fire? if it does then it's a hammer/rammer hybrid, if not then it's fine.

Use my extender tribar setup seen in AW - Triforce and you should save enough weight.

Looks nice, don't the angled razors force the bot up and over others? and how does it do against BW VSers?

I've always preferred the GTM file host as the files won't get deleted/lost.

That shouldn't be the case because I used it to upload Stock Mini's AI and it's almost 30mb. I also uploaded Stock Mini's to the download section recently and it worked then.

I'm trying to upload the Ultimate Stock AW AI but I can't due to both forum uploaders not working, the file size is not a problem as the file is only about 11mb.

My reskinned ARBBC team:  Middleweight and Heavyweight are the weakest bots on my team, one I threw together in about 10 minutes and one is a very old bot.

I'm keen to start work on this as soon as possible guys, the sooner you enter will mean that your team is placed higher in the AI pack.

People who don't care enough to finish tournament won't care about some forum prize either. If the purchasable prize was an arena or something then maybe it would help motivate people, but people can give those out to others.

the only reason the current punishment is tourney bans is because fotepx and teamx were being dumbasses back in 2010/early 11.
i agree with JD about using positive reinforcement to encourage tourney completion. we just need to set a reward as "you will get one/# of X for every Y tourney(s) you host". perhaps use some sort of currency, and have contributions earn virtual "money" that you can redeem to get a variety of things? (user titles, username colors... that sort of thing. maybe trovs action cam can be purchasable under this system as well)
I like this. I like this a lot.
To further on this point, there could be a purchasable thing called "Change User Title" and the person could change their titles, or "Change Username Color" so the person could change their name colors (make sure it's a color that isn't Admin, Roboteer, Glomod, etc), and maybe (for a ton of credit points) a "Change Username"; self explanatory. Some of the other purchasable items could include exclusive arenas, Trov's action cam, Tutorials of whatever made by whoever (Skinning; SD, Efficiency+; Naryar/inf/sage/whoever else, DSL IRL; SD, VB, I don't want to play favorites here) and so on.
Could be fun.
eeeh you shouldnt have to purchase tutorials. those are so that you can further your skill in ra2 when you start out, and odds are that when you start you will have little to no interwebs dollas.
i have come up with some items and actions you can do to earn more $$$
Change username color* ... $500
Change title* ... $750 for text title, $1250 for an image
Add a new smiley* ... $1250
Action Cam ... $1500
Enable longer signature ... $2 x character
Change username ... $2500
$ = whatever form of "currency" we decide on.
* = rules would have to be enforced on what you could change it to/add, ie no goatse/tubgirl, no admin title/color
how to earn money:
Showcase a robot ... $10 x new bot**
Write a tutorial ... $25-200 (depending on quality)
Host a challenge ... $50 x participant
Host a tourney ... $10 x match
Release AI pack ... $5 x new bot***
(and possibly some other possibilities as well)
**("new" meaning that it isnt just a reskin or tweak of an earlier bot, and "bot" being an actual creation, not just a giant dsa chassis with nothing in it)
***new bot made by the maker of the pack (as in they wont get $ for other people's creations)
in essesnce its just the contributor contest 24/7. of course as much as trov is a cool guy and all, we would need more than trov (hes busy enough) to moderate the outflow of money, AKA someone who wont just give themselves 9 million grand and leave everyone else out.
dunno weather some of these are able to be implemented or not, but i still think its a pretty cool idea
I still doubt it's effectiveness against those who don't finish tournaments and as Trov said people can release rewards to the public or just give them out to their buddies on here.

I think tournament hosts who bail on their tournaments should also be banned from competing in tournaments, be banned from playground and have their showcase(s) locked.
Uhhh, that doesn't address the problem at all. That just pointlessly bans people from using most of the tools they could actually contribute with.
It's banning them from other parts of the forum that could be considered fun for them. They can still make mods and comment on other showcases etc.
That's still pretty cruel and pointless. What will happen then is nobody will host tournaments because the risk is too high.
What about the people who enter the tournaments that build bots for them, it's cruel having a tournament host bail on them. Tournament bailing is usually due to laziness or loss of interest, most tournaments can be completed but people just prefer to play other games etc. so I doubt any reward will work.

I'm waiting to see the more interesting bots :)

Tripwire's wedge can usually outwedge all the other wedges in ultimate stock AW AI and Tripwire does more damage most of the time (no idea why). I don't think there's much of a problem getting flanked in the AW weight class due to most the bots being rammers so I think Tripwire is better.

v2 is good but once the drill is gone the chassis can still be hit despite the axe being there, perhaps I should do this:  I moved the axe up more and angled the axe down a bit, also a random extender to protect the main weapon extender. Here's your new Re-stocked Red Zone AW:
