made kind of a MW version.  steel 3 i think pretty basic but I thought it had a nice look to it. I have a version with wheels and more armor which is pretty much better in every way except looks. gotta have those tracks man

good bot, and the video is nice. you can always use audacity to record yourself and overlay it later, don't have to use the WMM voice recorder
congrats on 100 pgs

maybe not to get too ahead of ourselves here but I'm curious what other peoples opinions are about allowing/banning wedges in IF for this. we all know it's basically an RNG dice roll a lot of the time on who wins a match just based on the wedges alone, especially with how easy it is to put wedges on in IF. a lot of designs arent even really viable since they don't have a wedge (ie drums etc). I would personally be pretty okay with banning them for this but I wanted to see what others think.

I actually kinda dig it. You ever end up rebuilding it?
I personally would go slim drive and downgrade the wheels, it's lighter, faster, and you can hide them behind the wheelguards easier. I'd probably also swap the weapons out for something with more piercing. But not bad at all.

lookin really nice boss. gotta say I've been lovin using vertical treads recently too. you've got a nice setup going, not much I can help ya with except all weight classes in ironforge only have 200kg ballast, even UHWs I assume. glad someone else rebuilds as much as me

bump dont care there needs to be at least 1 reply per bot
Looks very nice. Only thing I'm worried about are wedges and the pretty weak drive. It may be better to use firebirds + thin wheels instead of your current setup, but your call.
Nice job man

eyy  steel 3 for badger's tourney. pretty standard but i thought it had enough flair to showcase. vatican represent

^yes Some sort of hybrid of IRL and Competition might be a good idea.
standard is already a medium between stock-unrealistic (formerly the only way people built, really) and IRL

Standard has like the most simple building rules ever. Don't stack anything and make sure nothing intersects anything that you couldnt theoretically cut a slot into. Let's just do a rule set that any knuckle draggin moron can understand and let's just see who makes the best machine.
IRL is way too subjective for a competitive tournament. It is totally fine for showcasing. Unfortunately, with RA2 and its wonky physics, an effective design in the game is not an effective design IRL. Can we just get over this and build the best we can with what we've got instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole?
AGAIN: IRL is totally fine for showcases and aesthetic reasons. It is awful for competitive tournaments unless you want to arbitrarily gimp yourself and build something inferior ingame even though it may look good irl. Frankly, I'd like to build to make something good rather than something pretty.

im more thinking just get rid of the hammers and use a 20 for all of it
the hammers look too goofy

I don't see why you gotta remove by far the most popular meta purely because it doesn't suit a competitive event.
because it is a competitive event. IRL by definition is not competitive. It's not the fault of IRL, it's the fault of RA2. you can't really build IRL for RA2 battle efficiency, if you do then you're building standard. IRL is for looks. For all the people voting for DSL-S, look at how many people have entered DSL-S for International Wars. It's a dead meta that's been entirely replaced by Ironforge.
i tend to agree.

we really do need an official tournament. nothing gets the forum going like a BBEANS. no problem with making the GTMCS 2 better than the first rather than just giving up on it Multiple hosts would be a good idea. The main problem with the tourney was just the videos never got up on time. Not really sure why we can't have separate AIers too, I've hosted a fair number of tournaments and I can say it gets real draining after a while esp with one as large as this. I may be available to host, but I'll need to see. I really don't see how IRL can be used in this though. IRL is not about combat efficiency, it's about show. The game does not handle IRL AI well, and there is gonna be tons of whining about some dood making an IRL bot that just baaarely qualifies in order to spam weapons or something. Not sure about the Metas. Just something common enough, I like the idea of retooled but I dont think it's ready yet. Ironforge though I think is the standout contender, it's basically made specifically for efficiency building. We don't necessarily need to have 3 like last time. BBEANS did great with just 1, it was high profile enough that even people who didn't normally build in the meta submitted something because its friggin bbeans I am still hoping that there can be some kind of results archive created for the first tournament; it was one of my favourite things about BBEANS. On a private website, a dedicated GTMCS wiki, or the GTM homepage there could be the completed brackets, award winners, mathematical standings, and maybe a short blurb on each winner's path to the trophy. There needs to be a legacy attached to it all; otherwise it feels like just another GTM tournament come and gone.
this 100%
