Awesome!  How did you manage to chain servos, they never work for me.

Computer is being fixed but I don't know when I'll get it back. If it comes to it, I might have to go to my friend's house and try to finish it there. Either way, I'm finishing the tournament even if I don't get my next tournament promoted to a major level one. Expect some work next week, and wish me luck!
Awesome!  Glad to see you persevering in the face of adveristy.

Here's a thread for any appearances of robots or robot combat in other TV shows

Team Coolrobots had their bot Knee Breaker guest star as a murder weapon on CSI.  The victim, murderer, and accused happened to have the same names as the team members (Christian, Luke, Brian).  Read into that what you will.



Also the murderer's robot was Toe Crusher. It apparently was obliterated by Knee Breaker.

I think you have that backwards...


No, he has it right.  Luke's bot Toe Crusher gets wrecked by Christian's bot Knee Breaker, so in revenge, Luke hijacks Knee Breaker, kills Christian, and frames Brian.

Let me know if you use mine, I'll give you a "like" and you'll get some of my viewers trickling over.

Alright guys help me out here. What are the links between these groups of three words.

Example: Driving, Off, Poetic = Licence

Distance, Perfect, Tense
Mimi, Pass, Ticket
Bare, Low, Preacher
Boy, Long, Wheel
File, Hit, Track
Gooseberry, Horn, North
Bread, Pan, Tomato
In, Thing, Well
Clock, Club, Course
Jelly, Mint, Seal
Comfort, Cross, Ocean
Brick, Flower, Street
Soft, Wind, Work
Cap, Head, Station
Box, Lever, Top
Ever, Over, Thomas
Canal, City, Hat

I only have 2 inklings.  The British language is more different than I thought.
Golf....Clock, Club, Course  dunno what a golf clock is but, 2/3 leads me to believe it's right
Past....Distance, Perfect, Tense...?  Again 2/3
In, Thing, Well...bred.

I can only rember one, but it's a big one; getting the Holy Cow in Katamari Damacy.  The most rage inducing thin in the game, and I finally kicked its ass!

let heavyweights have spinning weapons
That's a matter of health, safety and very high insurance bills.

have a main UK tournament that gets televised and keep the other events untelevised?
Good luck finding a station willing to take RW on.

1. This is why I suggested the arena panels like in 2005 and roboteer pods. Insurance... Touché
2. BBC, Even Dave or Challenge who currently aire series 2 now?

The production of a series is a huge huge risk, the producer had to take on about 100 thousand pounds of debt just to get Series 1 off the ground.  So that's a bit different than airing reruns.  Perhaps they could get some kind  of educatipn grant by replacing philippa forrester and jonothan pearce with engineers.  Or they could get an embarassing photo of Sir Alan Sugar, and blackmail him into funding it.

Your choice of robot should be a secondary decision.  You should decide on some techniques you want to teach, and choose a robot based on that.

So, here's why I haven't posted any new replicas in like 3 weeks, I've been working on this the whole time.  Hopefully you'll agree it was worth it.  It's one of those bots with a tiny chassis and a body made almost entirely of components.

893
Its DSL 2.1, I added the robots Tommy put up for download in the replica thread, and now it's messed up.
Did you just add robots, or some new components too?  Because it's the wheel components that cause the reversal.

894
When you upgrade to DSL 3, all of the wheels get "reversed."  You'll have to fix each bot individually, or migrate the wheels over from an old copy.

I'll give £10'000 to the first person to do granny's revenge :trollface
You didn't say how good/accurate it had to be.  I take cash or Paypal.

On the next one, you should show some skinning outside of RA2.  The in-game tools are only good for marking purposes.

And propebly go for a harder target also we may want to compare the replica to the real life counterpart so a pic would be nice.
i think he went for rhino because of how easy he is to do this is a school for learning how to build replicas better not watching tommy build
also if you could make these videos that would be cool
This is a good starting point, which is why I said "the next one."  Navigating your Robot Arena 2 folder is a very useful thing to know, and you certainly can't draw a skin if you don't know where to find it.

Meh, it'll come out 4:00pm tomorrow, British time. Remember, i can't skin or make decals so bare with me.
Even if your skin looks bad, people will appreciate the effort more than if you dismissively say "I don't know how to do that."  Even plain old MS Paint is capable of wonderful things if you put forth some effort:

I do agree but c'mon Sonny. You are an expert at skinning but don't be harsh on people who are beginning. I can barely skin so I'd be pretty pissed off if I got criticism like that.
My "expertise" is just patience and concentration.  There's no secret to my crude technique, it's just hand-drawn pictures made by stretching the BMP's by 400%, then zooming in really really close and not stopping until I'm happy with every single dot.  While you may not be completely happy with the final product, anyone who can turn on a computer can at least produce something skin-wise.
