The middleweight looks kind of like a mini Bot In Sheep's Clothing.

New bots, haven't gotten pix of Meltdown yet.



This is Radical Flipperectimy. It does what it says on the box, and can remove any flipper from any robot, PLUS it owns against wedges. Unfortunately, it isn't very easy to drive. Here's the aftermath of my fight vs Smashbox 2


Also, HELLicopter

I was going to make a new Pon2n, to be called "Pwn2n," but I went for saws instead of hammers, and got this. It works fairly well, and carries an altitude control device I invented, allowing it to do dropping attacks on opponents.

Yeah, Blendo would be excellent. As long as it retains it's ability to chuck bot parts out of the arena at high velocity, of course:evilsmile:

I have a GameCube. It doesn't seem old to me... didn't it come out around 2001? That's not THAT old. I mean, it has better graphics than most computer games, and runs them at 60FPS.

You should know that Somebody and I were in a netgame a few days ago, and DIDN'T use Hamachi, mainly because it crashes on my computer. I set up a private server and he connected via IP address. We were on for about an hour total, until Sombody's computer crashed for whatever reason. We did this at a perfect 30 FPS, with no lag wahtsoever. YOU DO NOT NEED HAMACHI TO PLAY A NETGAME, that is just one of the ways. Connecting by IP is probably a better one.

Oh, and I'd fight you, Inf, but I'd get slaughtered. >_>

I understand how many precautions I'll need. I'll be running it into a brick wall at full speed, seeing what breaks, fixing it, then ramming it into the wall again ad nauseum.

You might also want to try standing on it and/or dropping a cinder block on it. Then you'll know how it fares against hammers.

Ker-bump!

Hoard of new bots, same routine as last time.

Nova: Think SHW trinity-hammered Pinball. Speaks for itself.
Industrial Stump Grinder: It's a Nightmare ripoff! Actually, it sucks pretty badly compared with my usual bots.
Hammer of Justice: ROFL I AR MADE TEH HAMMAR OF JUSTIDE LOLZORS. Next!
Switchblade 2: Crap. Moving on.
Epic Flailure 2: A haymaker clone. Epic Flailure 1 was a stock SnS, but it didn't work VS Starcore 3. Epic Flailure 2 Mk. 2 had the Whyachi hammers on it.
MURDozER: Actually, I only built this to see how good a Dual Perm drive would be. It's INSANE!


Ignore Knightro.

Epic Flailure 3: This was the bot I was going to enter into RAW, before I switched to the Humdrums. It spins faster that almost anything, but the weapons break too easily.
Humdrums: No need to mention these.
Meltdown: Insanely powerful flipper, it can get the car on top of the desk in the garage. Also good for launching UnDeadBeat over the walls in the BBEANS arena so he gets stuck on the spinning bar.
GigaBite: Imagine if Phere wasn't so awful, this would be it. Unfortunately, I learned to never use a six-mag on a shell spinner from this bot, it spins was too slow.
Terror Tortoise: It actually does look like a turtle from behind. It's a pretty good flamethrower bot, but it needs a method of KOing people.


Ignore 2Fast4You and Distro-ction

Industrial Arc Pounder: Yep, it's Arc Pounder on steroids. Not that good.
Damn the Ground Clearance: Take all the good parts of Shebeast and improve them, you get something similar to this. I call it Damn the Ground Clearance becuse you can hardly get under it at all, even with a wedge.
Dienosaur: I LOVE Duh102's insanely large behemoths, so I made this as a tribute. It's also good for stress relief. There's nothing better than chucking Grog around like a paper plate after a hard day.
Wheel Troubling: This is why I have Distro-ction in there. It can kill pretty well, but is slower than .



You know how much the Hum-Drums drove like drunks? Well I fixed it, stepped up the armor a notch, AND powered up the drum a bit! Motors are now normal NPCs though.

I would like to see how a revised version of the Hum Drums works.

I'm almost tempted to make a version of them for whatever tourney shows up after ELBITE

All of your bots are awesome, but not that many are the kind of godbots people expect from the stock game. I suggest you switch completely to DSL if you want to build in that style.

they don't drive straight at ALL. It's the off-center perm and the huge wheels that screws it up when humans are driving, but a human can work around that. AI can't.

Awww... RIP Hum-Drums. Actually, I think I could have won that if they hadn't driven like they were intoxicated :-(

Someone put words in my mouth. I didn't write "super robot deathstar," I wrote "super robotic deathshine." It's a parody on Super Mario Sunshine, a game for the GCN, and (obviously, because it's Mario) has nothing to do with slaughtering hapless enemy robots. That's the joke. Yes, the joke sucks. No, Naryar didn't make it funnier. He tried to prove a point.

It looks good, but you have a bit of empty space in there. Also, you might want to switch to battlepacks.

General Support / Cant get the @#$% hover engine to work!

« on: November 07, 2008, 06:32:45 PM »

Oookay. Thanks. Now I know I need to get that six-mag out from under the engines. I'm assuming this is why Pon2n jumps up a bit whenever it fires the hammers?

« on: November 07, 2008, 03:08:00 PM »

Whenever I try to use a hover engine, my robot just flies straight up indefinitely at a high speed. I'm trying to make a SHW Pon2n, and no matter what I do, it glitches up. Sorry for being a n00b, but what am I doing wrong?

And yay, I'm finally a beetleweight!
