I have the approvals in place from my school. I'm building a robot for my college senior project, and I have the money saved up to do it. I am unbelievably hyped. Building a 30lber for Motorama 2016 is the goal, going to mail off my registration tomorrow since the signups are opened I have noticed. 7 people already signed up on a 16 bot bracket

Hello, I have a new Windows 7 computer. I want to install RA2 on it but it is not going as smoothly as it does on my old XP computer. I want to be able to install RA2, and then put in all my old AI packs and versions. I already have all of the versions copied onto the computer, I just need to install the actual game and put them together. Tried it earlier but it didn't work.

Some crazy videos have started to make their way onto youtube of it.
And yes, that IS a go pro mount on Sewer Snake
There are a bunch more go pro videos on Sewer Snake's owner's channel (mattmaxsr)

Well I present on April 11th, so I figure its about time to start.
I am planning to CAD a 30 lb robot for my senior project. Doesn't have to be super beautiful and doesn't have to be amazingly accurate, because I'm pretty much the only kid who knows a damn thing about robots in my school AFAIK, and there is only gonna be a few people at the presentation anyways.
My plan is a 30lb robot with an eggbeater weapon. Haven't decided much after that, but thats not too important. I need to basically know what parts are the best to use in this, and a place I can get a sheet metal quote and the eggbeater weapon.
FYI, the project is to make a CAD Robot and to do some stuff about combat robotics in general, probably editing together a video of some bots (hence my earlier thread on the subject). I will be using Autodesk Inventor 2012 Student Edition (is free), which I am somewhat familiar with already.
Thanks ~Somebody

I got a cousin hooked on my Custom Series battlebots toys (the cheaper RC ones) and he wants a Killerhurtz one. I want to keep mine and none are on ebay (although some will pop up eventually, they usually do). Does anybody have anywhere to get any of them? I got money not expecting a handout.
Thanks.

http://students.autodesk.com/Haven't actually downloaded anything yet so I don't know if it I some student version but it appears to be the ful software. If you are a college student, high school student, or a lying sack of s***, you can sign up and get pretty much everything they sell for free personal use. AKA no moneymaking.

For my high school senior project, I am doing some stuff about roboteering. Probably designing a bot in CAD or something. Anyways, part of the project that I am doing is to edit together a video of robot combat. I want it to have lots of hits and excitement in it that show people how cool robots are. That's where you guys come in. I want you to post videos in this thread of robot battles with some kind of cool part or moment, preferably short. A long back and forth match (that we find exciting) isn't what I am looking for. For example, I already have some stuff of Ziggy and big hits from spinners and big hts from Storm II and stuff like that. Whatever you can think of (even if I jut wrote it; I may have missed a match or two!), post a video of it here. Preferably I would like to have different events in there too. Some robot wars, some Battlebots, some other stuff. Sooooooo yeah please help

This shows that flails are more effective! The weapons stand up to more abuse against tough things (like against a chain link fence, or razor tips against a 70kg hammer), they do more damage (cutting through plywood, or eating up bot armor), and that 8 is the best amount of lines (or weapons). I think that they'll end up with 10 or 12 on there one day though. Yes I say this jokingly, but it is honestly what I thought when I first saw the commercial.

Was he banned? His account is no longer in the list under members, and all his posts are gone. Was he someone else double-accounting maybe?

Its always annoying when people ninja delete posts, so why not have something so that when a person deletes a post, it is just a blank box and says

RulesSplashBrackets *SPOILERS* GroudonRobotWars vs. dragonsteincole*** This match may be long, but don't be discouraged from watching it because of the length. This match has its fair share of action, and is a good way to kick off the first ever UHW Tournament. Also, watch closely in fight 3 for a very epic OOTA.
Clickbeetle vs. 123savethewhales** This match pits two very good competitors against each other in a long and grueling match. Both are well-built, but only one can win, so who will it be? This match is entertaining, yet the lag kills it a bit.
Little lost bot vs. Somebody*** These two bots are in a rather predictable match, which is quick, but does have a very interesting twist in the first round.
NFX vs. SKBT*** These two bots fight an an exciting, if long match. There are many twists and turns, along with a surprise detail.
Stagfish vs. FOTEPX* Can be described as the Immovable Object (Revolution) vs. the Stoppable Force (Perfect Cherry Blossom). Still entertaining a bit, but gets monotonous after a while.
J24 vs. 70 CUDA*** This match is quick, and has a lot of action. Not very close though, as there is either one bot or the other dominating each match. Bots will fly in this exciting battle.
Badnik96 vs. Scrap Daddy*** Our first match between two full weight UHWs. This one looks to be good, and it is full of parts flying mayhem. Note: I can't seem to explain Crocodile's invertibility troubles. It uses an Omni.py AI.
somestrangeguy vs. martymidget*** This match looks good on paper and has some exciting and surprising moments, but drags on a bit. Still a good match.
Enigma vs. GroudonRobotWars*** This match doesn't sound to exciting but it is better than expected. Some good action and some surprising moments. The ending is rather anticlimactic though... yoda9726 vs. Clickbeetle** This match sounds exciting but is worse than expected. Not a whole lot of action. It is cool to see Hide come out to play though. G.K. vs. Somebody*** A good match with a fair bit of action. Lots of flipping, flying, some blade hits, some lag, and some good old fashioned pushing and shoving. Naryar vs. SKBT*** A lot of good and high flying action. Some twists. Some turns. Some surprises. Hydro vs. FOTEPX*** This match was boring for me to film but I cut out most of the boring stuff (the part where they are just sitting and hitting each other) so the shortened version is better. Scorpion vs. J24** Lag hurts this match but I doubled the speed of the first and third matches to make it a bit better. The match itself is still kind of slow in some parts, both in lag (2 fps x2 still is only 4) and in action. Squirrel_Monkey vs. Scrap Daddy*** This match looked to be epic, but on my end, both bots were slow and took a while to start fighting. But I got rid of that for everyone. Good hits, decent damage, and a good matchup make this good. Vertigo vs. somestrangeguy*** A generic UHW flipper battle. Has flips. Has some close calls for Ultra Bulldozer. This match is closer than you think it would be. Stagfish vs. Enigma** 4 bots that have trouble showing a lot of movement. 4 bots that have weak weapons. 4 bots in this fight. Fun seeing Kamikaze Cube torn up though, but besides that... yeah not much.
yoda9726 vs. 70 CUDA**** This one really is a good one, as these two bots go at it. Lots of big hits and fast paced action. And suspense! Oh the suspense!!!
Badnik96 vs. G.K.** After a long layover, a less-than-spectacular start to me having time for videos.
martymidget vs. SKBT**** The first match is long, yet suspenseful, and the excitement just escalates from there. A great match to watch.
dragonsteincole vs. FOTEPX*** This match has the damage you'd expect from a UHW match! It doesn't come too spectacularly but both bots are pretty mangled by the end of each match. I didn't do anything about the havok in Round 3 because the match was already decided.
123savethewhales vs. Scorpion*** A quick match, but only because I sped up the footage. It was boring for me but I think I've made it suitably interesting. This one has some odd parts, and is close.
Little lost bot vs. Squirrel_Monkey** A big match between big bots. Will they go back and forth closely, or will it be slow. Take the stars as a hint. Slow for me but nice and edited for you guys.
NFX vs. somestrangeguy** This one could really go either way. But the match goes a third way and does its own thing with the bots. That thing starts with an H.
Enigma vs. 70 CUDA*** A good way to start out Round 2. See if you can guess who will win!
Badnik96 vs. martymidget**** POWER! HIGH FLYING ACTION! OTHER POWERFUL ADJECTIVES! WATCH IT!
dragonsteincole vs. 123savethewhales**** Less powerful adjectives, but a much closer match. These bots go back and forth the entire matches, and there is destruction throughout.
Little lost bot vs. somestrangeguy** To finish out the round, we have another full UHW, and a crazy one at that. Bouncing all around the arena, and even some nice acrobatics to keep itself in the arena in Round 1.
GroudonRobotWars vs. Clickbeetle**** This match doesn't go as planned for Clickbeetle, with GRW causing quite a few problems (ba-dum tishhh) for the dynamic duo of Hide & Seek.
Somebody vs. Naryar*** A close match between two of the best bots in COTT
Hydro vs. J24*** Not the best bots, but some of the best action. Note: The skip over after match 2 ends was due to the lag caused by the awesomeness of the victory. It dropped to 3 fps and took THIRTY SECONDS to have the stats screen pop up.
Scrap Daddy vs. Vertigo*** A nice quick fight
Scrap Daddy vs. 70 CUDA*** This ones a bit longer, but tons of damage!
martymidget vs. Hydro**** The return of the big VS, and its valiant sidekick. Vs. the dynamic, if deficient rammer duo.
123savethewhales vs. Naryar**** Some real destruction here
somestrangeguy vs. GroudonRobotWars** Good way to finish out the round. Apologies for loudness and lack of intro splashes.
Scrap Daddy vs. martymidget***** Two favorites, but only one can come out on top. I guarantee you have never seen what happens here before, and will probably never see it again.
123savethewhales vs. somestrangeguy** Plenty of multibots left, but which of these two pairs will advance?
Clickbeetle vs. Somebody*** The Winner's Bracket semifinals! Will EFIE 6 be able to overcome Clickbeetle's sneaky tactics?
J24 vs. Vertigo*** Quick match with lots of flipping. But there's flippers on both teams. This one could go either way
Somebody vs. martymidget*** A good close match. River of Pain proves extremely hard to flip in spikeball mode. Will the EFIEs get it out in time?
J24 vs. 123savethewhales*** Lots of destruction and action. Its worth watching!
Clickbeetle vs. Vertigo** The winner goes onto the final, and both bots are proven competitors. Either bot could win (I've watched UB beat Hide and Seek before, way back when I was testing AI). See who gets in!
Somebody vs. J24*** Lots of flips. From here on out, one bot will be eliminated in every match. Loser of this match is awarded 4th place of Clash of the Titans.
Vertigo vs. Somebody*** The klone wars! A close match but the superior design comes out on top.
Clickbeetle vs. Vertigo***** It's the final, why shouldn't it be 5 stars? Watch it!!
Clickbeetle vs. Vertigo***** It's the other final, so it is 5 stars too. First match is sped up because it lagged a lot.

I recently started painting cars in iRacing. I asked someone to paint a car for me, looked pretty simple, fired up GIMP, finally figured out how to use it, and started. So far I've made $20 (people are willing to pay for the paints!). This also means that you might see me competing in future BOTMs Here are the paints I have so far Matthew's Mobile Media Late Model Orange Stripe Mazda MX-5 Roadster (Made $10) T&W Tire Late Model (Made $10 from this and the truck) T&W Tire Truck I'll post more as I make them

Background: I turned 16 in May. That puts me just 2 weeks away from 16 and a half years old. For nearly the past year, my Eagle Project (for Boy Scouts) has sat nearly idle. For my Eagle Project, I am planning to make a new war monument in the downtown area of my town to recognize the soldiers who fought in wars who enlisted from my town between the end of Vietnam and 9/11. I need to have it done by my 18th Birthday.
I need some freaking motivation. I want to do it. I want to do it more than anything I have ever accomplished in RA2, iRacing, Ace Combat, and any other game I have ever played. I want it more than Varsity Baseball or JV Basketball combined.
I need help to get myself to do it. I need motivation. I know how important it is. I know how big of an affect it will have on me. I know how much regret I would have if I never finish it.
Any tips to get working?
