Dang, I thought this would fill up fast.

After building my bot... I can say it was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  It is a bit challenging.

Guess we got to harass some of the new members... What happened to that Wolf dude that joined when all the other tourneys filled up? I forget his name.

Edit: He just popped on!  PM bombed.

Sorry for hijacking this thread, but what is a tech adviser, what does it mean on these forums?

Tech advisers are the absolute brains of the forum.  They understand all that coding voodoo and partake in binary-talk witchcraft.

It is really only a matter of hours time before you become one as well.

Ribbs has the tendency to disappear at inopportune times.

I give the win to Vertigo by default.

I used Wegame for TTT. And that worked. It saved all the vids for me as avi's.

Oh, I stand corrected then.  :D  Now I know... and I wont forget (until the weekend drinking comes, then all bets are off).

Youtube.

I don't think WeGame can export files that are useable anywhere else.

Crazy! I couldn't believe that Thunder didn't get tipped over several times there.  The match was close, but kind of a snoozer though. Thunder doesn't do much damage. It is really just a big angry breadbox with beater bars on the front for a possible WBP.

I care.  But, I have been too busy to give it much thought.  It occurred to me that it takes a ton of brainpower to think back and remember the bots that really stand out from the crowd.

Edit: Oh... and one of your minions just paid me a visit while I was typing this... Trying to pursuade me huh?

I don't think so, the wheels are VERY safe from threats now, and just wait until I finished the snapper loading a bit.

In a battle... losing one wheel vs having the heart of your robot destroyed (the chassis) will give you more of a fighting chance.

I know that it does not correspond with real life logic (RA2 for yah) But, having the wheels take damage first is more productive in this case.

I really hate the current trend of color pallets consisting only of brown, gunmetal, and lens flare. Video games are a visual medium. Excite my eyes with some color!

Yeah, please swap out the t connectors for regular extenders and use the side attachment points.

Discussion / Re: One wheeled bots, should they be banned?

« on: June 08, 2011, 09:13:08 PM »

I voted No. I am not a big fan of banning bots.

However, because tournaments are AI driven in RA2... The part that irks me about 1 wheeled bots is that the opposing AI drives straight into a spinning vortex of razors.  No strategy to be had usually.  At least against a Melty Brain bot IRL you can use a bit of driving skill to defeat it.  In RA2... the AI has limitations... so having a one wheeled bot in some cases is a cheap exploitation of the opponents bot AI.

EDIT: hahahahah... i based my vote on the question for the topic header... not the question in the poll. (which are opposite questions) Sneaky Ribbsy... you tricked me.
