Badnik96 and I had been chatting in Steam for a while about coming up with ways to help to elongate the life span of Gametechmods, the online Robot Combat communities, and specifically the RA2 fanbase for a while. Honestly, GTM seems to be the main place were most of the US robot combat fans, as well as many from all around the world, flock to, and we think that this place needs to be more popular and oriented around that if it is going to stay a stable and popular community. So here are some (major) ideas we brainstormed to help make this place be more friendlier and "on topic."
1. We need more focus on the Robot Combat fanfic. Some of you might not be too interested in it, but it has always been a cool and popular concept, and unfortunately in the last two years or so it has really begun to die off. We think that, to prevent the inevitable death of it, we need:
>An entire board section dedicated to it
>A board for fanfic tournaments
>And a board for showcasing fanfic robot concepts, renders, etc.
With more board focus on it rather than a subforum in the "games board" (I mean really, why did it even get moved there in the first place?)
2. Less off topic boards. Do we really need a politics, off topic, playground, and chatterbox? I do not see the point in that many boards when we could just compress it all into a single "Chatterbox" and make it public towards all members instead of this usergroup BS. and why do we need a "Games" board AND a Game dev board? Hardly either of those are populated enough as is, we might as well just make them a single board.
3. A "Hobbies" board. Instead of having so many off topic boards (Automotive, etc) Couldn't we just get a single board with numerous different subforums for our interests, such as art, automotive, music, sports, etc? It would keep things much less "cluttered" as it is.
4. For the real robotics section, it would be nice to see a "Competitions" board to discuss up and coming IRL tournaments, who is going to be there, etc. That could also help stir up more interest in the real life stuff.
Granted, this is purely the opinion of two peasants, so don't take this as any kind of serious idea on how things should be done here.

Anyone else here a fan of studying wrecked, sunken, or derelict ships? I know both Nate and I have been for quite some time. To get us started, I'll point out my favorite shipwreck of them all, the USS American Star  American Star was an ocean liner than became beached off shore, where it stayed standing upright for about fifteen years before breaking apart and sinking.

I figure sooner or later I should start up a thread to document the creation of the 30 pound robot I am planning, might as well do it now eh? As far as parts that I have gathered so far, I have only collected the outside stuff (wheels, sawblade, possible armor etc) which I have used to construct a "pile of parts" Mockup of what the finished machine, named "TweakMaster" will look like:  Yes, that is a paint tray that I am thinking about using as the top of the chassis. Nothing here is final however, so the parts that I use are subject to change. The reason I am considering using the parts that I have gathered is because they are cheap, I don't have a lot of money as it is, so I want to build the cheapest possible robot without making it of cardboard or an rc car. I'm sure I will do extensive modifications to the paint tray (if I even use it) and the name tag is not final either, its just a placeholder (I plan on actually painting the name onto the thing.) The wheels are standard lawnmower wheels with sanding disks on the side/paper wheel hub covers as a goofy design thing. Except for the expensive stuff like speed controls/radio equipment, I hope I will be able to build this whole thing with surplus parts and spare stuff that I can find.

I'm not sure if I should make a thread for this in the IRL robotics section or not, so I'll just put it here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/features/2005/jun05/06-07BattleBot.aspxlooks like another fine example of people with no experience focusing more on petty high end crap than actually making a robot capable of being competitive. I reeeeally want to see this thing fight Last Rights.

I've noticed that a lot of the builders responsible for well known machines also built robots that either had little success or where entered into less well known competitions. An example being Jonathan Ridder, who not only being known for Ziggo  Also competed in the US Robot Wars in 95, 96, and 97 with a series of featherweight, wedge shaped robots named Ziggy (one of which later sported a saw blade) .jpg)  .jpg) He also had a RW 1996 competitor named "Wonderbug"  and later on he also built a rammer named Ziggzagg .jpg) EDIT: The Panic Attack team also competed in Battlebots with a flipper named Scallywag

'lo I prefer to build only artsy and creative looking robots, so don't expect me to be posting anything here that is worthy of serious competition among the likes of you guys. For now, here is a turret hammer I created with Taz Bot in mind (but more wedgie.)  I do apologize for the lazy crop job, I am in a hurry right now.
