Welp, by the suggestion of Craaig, I have made a showcase thread. This will basically show the "experience" of my RA2 Building skills. But first, here is a little background:
I found this game because of Redditbots. It is basicly any tournament here, however it includes the whole Battlebots Reddit community. I wanted to join, so I downloaded the game, and started making it. I made a good bit of process through the first day, from downloading, it finding out how to even place parts, to finding out how to wire stuff. Soon I made my first working bot, Derpy, who will be shown a little latter. Now, as the deadline got closer, I made Whacker, which ranked #32 in Redditbots (and lost). I still had almost no idea what I was doing, apparent in the design of Whacker. After the deadlines finished, I made another bot called HAMMATIME. Here I learned that you do NOT need steering motors to turn, and you can change the attach points of items. It was a really good bot, winning a lot of matches against the AI. However, the original design got lost, and I am digging through stuff to find the original. I wanted to show the whole community about this bot, so when I saw on the reddit the GTM Robot Wars tournament, I signed up, made a bot with the original idea of HAMMATIME, and joined, and was one of the ones who made it in. Now, many people say it is not good, but I say that it is really good for my experience. I am just now finding out how to make a good flipper, and I feel like I could make some really good robots.
Now, enough introduction, here is my first bot, Derpy:
Now, when I got back to this, my bot did not even have STEERING. Probably because I forgot XD
I did not know about attach points
JUST LOOK AT THE WHEELS.
It fell down a lot
It also did a move I call the head spin.
I could just go on and on about how bad it is.
Anyways, This was my first WORKING bot, and I will show the timeline of progressiveness as I go on.
