Okay, so I'm pretty good at using most glitches. However, I need one that I think might exist but I have no idea how to do.
So, here's what I need:
When axle loading, everything attached to the axle flies off. However, if you take everything off the axle the ATTACHMENT POINT is still connected to the motor. Is there a way to make the AP move with the axle? I need to attach a wheel DIRECTLY to the motor and there's stuff in the way.

AFF-
Who is actually hurt by "swear" words? Besides, why is "sh**" worse than "poop"? Why is "****" worse than "copulate"? If you can't come up with an answer as to why one is offensive and not the other, your stance is irrational.
NEG-
In a standard American society, there are many parents who feel the use of such "cuss" words to be impolite, wrong, or derogatory. One reason this may be is because of religious backgrounds. Anyone using God's name (or Jesus) in vain is looked down upon and is insulting all of the Biblical faith. It's basically taboo in our culture. That goes for all swear words. It's not the meaning of the word that is bad (unless it is a synonym of copulate, which many parents feel is not something they want their kids to learn about at a young age) but it's usually the word itself. Through generations of society, certain words become taboo for reasons such as impoliteness of obscenity. It can be considered "not proper" and in using such forms of these words you can make yourself look less professional, less educated, and much less of a nice person. While in an adult society these things are up to the person's choice of how they want to present themselves to the world, in the topic of a Lego forum there will undoubtedly be kids and young adults who may not grasp the social consequences of using said words. By inserting a filter into what is said, we can ensure that these harmful uses of the English language won't enter the minds of young adults until they are old enough to fully understand what the words mean.
What a match. Many surprises, much action, and well built robots. A match worth watching for sure. Pay attention to the ending of the last match, it's quite a twist :)
Inf wins 2-1
Clickbeetle vs. R1885
Definitely semifinal material! At the beginning i was like "HMMM. two VS vs two HS... I WONDER WHO WILL WIN." But after actually fighting the bots I can tell you, you'll be entertained by this match. Great music too :)
Clickbeetle wins 2-1
Winner's Bracket Quarter Finals
InfiniteInertia vs. Roboman and Doomkiller
Inf really knew what he was doing when he entered that wedged HS... it really does a number on Witch. However, OMG YKK and it's super low undercutting irons make it tough for Inf to get a good hold on it. And Inf's other HS is super solid. Watch for multiple OOTAs and an AWESOME FIRE KO!
Inf wins 3-0
GameKing vs. Clickbeetle
An all out HS brawl. As expected, Clickbeetle's undercutting HS performs very well against Gameking, but has trouble when the plow gets knocked off, mainly because it sometimes stops the weapons from spinning (as if actual physics step in when it parts from the bot). Both teams suffer from instability and mobility problems once unbalanced, which can lead to some longer matches than one would expect. Great fight, watch out for a CLAW KO!
Clickbeetle wins 3-0
RedlineM203 vs. R1885
An interesting match, seeing as there are no HS. My apologies, but for some reason FRAPS lagged to death in a few parts of this. The two VS seem to gain the upper hand with their long reaching wedges, but once one of the popups breaks free, the VS are easily flanked. Nice TRIPLE claw KO in one of the matches... :D
R1885 wins 3-0
R0B0SH4RK vs. Pwnator and The Ounce
All big names in stock building, this fight should have been epic. Unfortunately, two SnS on different teams means they kill everything else and then just sit there. The beginning of each fight is entertaining though, so definitely worth a watch.
R0B0SH4RK wins 2-1
Round 2 Loser's Bracket
Jack Daniels vs. Duck
JD's choice to use 2 bots with no wedges doesn't really work out here against an HS and a popup. Fun, quick match to watch, but a little one sided.
Duck wins 3-0
Greenbot and Natef vs. Scrap Daddy
Two unarmored popups vs. two heavily weaponed spinners. Yep. BUT WAIT! We know how the arena treats SnS, and this match is no exception. Plus, Scraps RADHS has no wedge, so the popups can get under it relatively un-scathed. Could Green and Nate pull out a win?
Scrap wins 2-1
Starcore and ACAMS vs. S.T.C.
If ACAMS's SnS wasn't so havoky, this would have been much less of a close match. It's effectiveness is severely dampened by that. But, we all know how amazing Fury is, so that pretty much makes up for it. And flying spinners do have a tendency to land right on top of the opponent... S.T.C.'s bots put up a good fight, and the matches aren't one sided at all.
STARCAMS wins 3-0
H@zm47 vs. Urjak
Quite a fun, destructive match. Star rats pack some punch with their sturdy maces and rack of axes (although those don't do much because of the rats' slow sped), but Hazmat's pusher is designed to take out those pesky HS. Coupled with his dual motor HS, Haz's team is quite formidable. You can never underestimate a team of HS, however, which is exactly what Urjak has.
Urjak wins 2-1
Trumpetguy and Viper vs. 090901
One of the more boring matches of the tourney so far. For some reason I get a lot of lag in this match (sorry about that). Anyways, 09's HS has an incredibly difficult time moving, and the opponent has a SnS that just sits there and, well, spins. 09's popup has the most mobility out of the group but having an unarmored front is quite dangerous when facing two spinners. 09's bots are a little more well built than the other two, but a razor is still a razor and that SnS has a lot of them.
Trump and Viper win 3-0
Reier and Naryar vs. Roboquad
My favorite match of the round, this fight has action, speed, and just all around goodness. Quite a few nice popup smashes and some intense pile ups, with both sides sporting nicely built and very destructive bots. As always, unarmored popups (and even armored ones) tend to get pretty smashed up when fighting alongside spinners. However, since I-blitz has a hard time moving around and the other spinner is an SnS, the popups actually get to duke it out without being interrupted. A rare wedge-vs-wedge battle occurs a few times, and unfortunately for Reier it looks like Bermuda Peril has the upper hand. However, Reier's popup does come equipped with armor in contrast to Bermuda. Can it last long enough to start its attack on I-Blitz? And even if it doesn't, will Roboqaud's bots have enough left in them to take out the spinning bot of doom?
Reier and Nary win 2-1
Madiaba and Pyscolone vs. Sage
Another fight that I quite enjoyed. My speedy razor devils can shred almost anything... if they can get under it. Unfortunately, both of their wedges suck. Also, FS usually have a tough time against HS, especially one sporting as many razors as Debaitor has. But because of Mad's inventive AI, Pysc's popup stays out of the fighting for the beginning, allowing both War&Peace to converge on the HS. This, however, is what DeBAITor was designed for. But are the two FS too much to handle?
Mad and Pysc win 2-1
Russian Roulette vs. Wham
Two popups vs two speedy HS. This match is actually very entertaining, with lots of destruction in short amounts of time. Simply put, the HS have more weapons and smaller chassis. Razors are extremely damaging, especially to almost unarmored popups like Wham's. However, we all know how just one or two lucky hits can dramatically change the course of the match...
Russian wins 3-0
Round 2 Winner's bracket
Roboshark vs. Trumpetguy and Viper
Robo's SnS has a lot of maces, and they are moving very fast. Viper's and trumpet's HS does not have a lot of maces. The usual outcome? Well, you can guess. But we forget the other two bots. The other team has an SnS of their own, and it has a lot of razors. Robo's popup has no armor and not a lot of razors. The usual outcome? Well, you can guess. But if you mix and match these two battles, this fight becomes pretty cool.
Robo wins 3-0
Madiaba and Pyscolone vs. InfiniteInertia
Wow, what a great gathering of big names in RA2. Madiaba and his inventive AI tactics, Pyscolone and his sleek popup, and Infinite with his lethal HS's. There's only so much insight I can give on this match, because I think you should watch it yourself. Will the diversion of Debaitor work, or will the all around defense and offense of the two HS be too much to handle?
InfiniteInertia wins 2-1
Roboquad vs. Pwnator and The Ounce
A fast paced, explosive match between two pairs of well-built bots. While Roboquad wins in terms of mobility with his popup, Pwnator brings in some tuff defense with his mace SnS. And both sides have a powerful HS to duke it out. A very hard to call match that is definitely worth watching.
Pwnator and The Ounce win 2-1
Doomkiller and Roboman vs. Russian Roullette
Woah, 4 HS Battle Royale. Russian's two twin HS seem to be at the disadvantage with their razors facing irons and maces, but you should never forget razors tendency to knock those weak extenders off. Plus, Russian's bots are both equipped with the slightly faster Redbird motors for drive. Will this be enough to take down the defense of the other HS?
Doomkiller and Roboman win 3-0
Gameking vs. Jack DanielsA classic example of a HS vs VS fight. As much as I usually try not to give away the ending, this fight is a tough one for JD.
Gameking wins 3-0
Clickbeetle vs. Natef and Greenbot
Two of the best MW HS's with high-damage razors against two unarmored popups built by normies. One sided? Well, maybe not... The music in this match makes it extremely fun to watch.
Clickbeetle wins 3-0
RedlineM203 vs. S.T.C.
Red's popups are very well built. Nice wedge, good weaponry, and fast drive. So this battle should be a piece of cake, right? Not so much. The popups have one huge disadvantage, which the castor armored fronts. More often than not, the other robot stops halfway up the wedge. This is very dangerous against a FS and a HS, because the popups are hitting weapons instead of chassis. However, the same can be said for the other team, when the popups are half under them. Interesting match.
Redline wins 2-1
R1885 vs. H@zm47
With their superior wedges, Red&Blue make fodder out of the rammer. However, the other team mate is far more deadly. We all know how extremely damaging razors are to extenders and chassis, an Hazmat's HS is chock full of them. Can the VS get rid of that darn HS before they start falling apart? WATCH OUT for the best moment so far in the tourney, in my opinion. Very end of round.
R1885 wins 2-1
Round 1 Loser's Bracket Somebody vs. Urjak
The match that really defeats the purpose of RAW 2, with both sides having two of the same bot. In previous matches we have seen the dreaded claw lay waste to many a SnS, and now there's two of them on the same team. Urjak's bots, the rammer/HS hybrid, are pushy but small, and constantly run into each other. The wide flails on Somebody's SnS easily hit the sides of Urjak's bots once the HS half is gone. But can the SnS last long enough against the hazards of the arena? Watch for a cool hazard kill at the end of round 2.
Urjak wins 2-1
SSG and Jonzu vs. Starcore and ACAMSSSG and Jonzu are going up against a lot of weapons. Both opponents ae nearly impervious until every spike, mace, and razor is ripped off. Unless, of course, you have a popup. Which is exactly what Jonzu built. Minesweeper doesn't even have a wedge, however. The good news is that it also has a lot of weapons. Will the defense of Minesweeper paired with the sneaky attack of Exterminatus be enough to take down two of the most famed builders in the game?
Starcore and ACAMS win 2-1
Scrap Daddy vs. Kill343gs
Two unarmored popups against two heavily weaponed spinners. The outcome? Not as one sided as you think. In fact, Kill's loaded rupting actually seems to work in this match. That, coupled with Rolo's sneaky razor popup attack, can really make a dent in what would look to be a very powerful team of spinning weapons. And we all know how the arena likes to handle SnS...
Scrap Daddy wins 3-0
Duck vs. Man Manu
This was a very close match that could have gone either way. Manu's rammer is quite odd in the fact the it has a DDT flipper on it as well, which probably ends up being of more use than its row of axes. Duck's Weedge has a very good wedge but the weapons are a tad lacking, as well as a huge chassis for his partner, the HS, to hit accidentally. Manu's other bot, a popup, is nice and small, however, making it a harder target for the deadly undercut of Duck's HS.
Duck wins 2-1
090901 vs. Hypnodisc7
A quick and fun match. Clearly, 090901's bots are better built and have better weapons, but as with all tourneys there are always upsets. Could Hypno's HS be perfectly angled to easily take out the extenders on 09's slow moving spinner? And will Hypno's drum lay waste to BoneShaker's unprotected front? Watch to find out. Or read, if you'd like :D
090901 wins 2-1
Craaig and Joeblo vs. Reier and Naryar
Now that Naryar has his dummy AI for his SnS, it becomes much more of a threat and makes the matches so that they don't drag on. This SnS is a beast, and once it gets spinning there's no way for the other team's bot to stop it. However, the arena claw has no troubles when dealing with the barely moving SnS, as we have seen before. With Craaig and Joe's inventive team coupled with the arena hazards, this match could very well go either way. And remember, an SnS hurts its partner a lot too.
Nary and Reier win 3-0
40757 vs. Sage
Unfortunately for me, 40757 outwedges both my bots with his popup, and his FS is on par wedginess. An FS can't do anything when a bot is under it, or so one would think. Because both of them are equipped with fast HPZ motors, occasionally they can slip away from the top of the opponent and flank them. I wish this happened all the time :). I really enjoyed this match, lots of action, lots of cool things going on. Definitely worth watching.
Sage wins 2-1
TiLT vs. Wham
Wow, a popup vs popup battle. In this case, whoever has the best wedge wins, and in the beginning of the matches it looks like Wham has the upper hand in that respect. But in this kind of battle, an upside down popup is just as good as one that's right side up. There's a really cool acrobatic flip by Horizon in fight 2 you should watch out for.
Wham wins 2-1
ROUND 1
Man Manu vs. R0b0sh4rk
I really enjoyed this match, a lot. It takes both of Manu\'s bots to take out Bullet Witch, and if they actually can finish the job, Synergy can usually take what\'s left out pretty quickly. But what happens when an UN-invertible SNS becomes inverted...?
R0b0 wins 2-1
Trumpetguy and Viper89 vs. DuckRA2
While The Assassin is Back isn\'t much of a killer, Tornado 2 really can wreak some havoc. Then spinning razors of doom work well against both HS and popup, the the relatively slow spinning makes sure it doesn\'t send itself off the edge. However, both of Duck\'s bots are better built, and popups are a great choice in this arena.
Trumpetguy and Viper win 2-1
Roboquad vs Scrap Daddy
Both good builders, making a good match. I-Blitz has trouble moving with it\'s slow drive motors, Bermuda Peril\'s low amount of weapons hinders its effectiveness. Both of Scrap\'s bots are very nice, but Arrow Head, being a SnS, suffers from the CLAW. Because SnS don\'t avoid hazards on purpose, they don\'t care if they are close to the CLAW or not. Parasite is a very good bot but is barely effective when on top of a popup. Unless it\'s upside down...
Roboquad wins 2-1
Pwnator & The Ounce vs. Kill343GS
Loaded rupting fails.
Pwnator and The Ounce win 3-0
SSG & Jonzu95 vs Madiaba & Pyscolone
*Note about Mad's bot: While working on the arena he had no time to build a bot. He had a friend build the original Debaitor for him, and he just reworked the weapons more to his liking.*
Because Madiaba has the know-how, he and Trov made a special AI for his team. See if you can figure it out. I think it works pretty well...
The great defense the Debaitor has makes it a formidable opponent, and Tweek is a popup built by the current popup master. A very nicely put together team. Minesweeper, however, is great at taking off HS weapons. If TWEEK is taken out, can Debaitor take on two bots at once? One of my favorite matches of round 1.
Madiaba and Pyscolone win 2-1
Starcore and ACAMS vs Infinite Inertia
Probably the the match I most looked forward to when I made the bracket, this fight doesn\'t disappoint. A great mix of HS, SnS, and wedgy HS, all built by some of the best stock builders in the community. One fight you don\'t want to miss.
Infinite Inertia wins 2-1
Somebody vs Doomkiller and Roboman2444
I\'m surprised Somebody has the only dual SnS team in the tourney. It seems like it would be a very deadly combination. But, we all know that this arena is particularly bad for SnS... the CLAWS can really mess things up.
Doomkiller and Roboman win 2-1
Urjak vs Russian Roulette
A battle between dual HS. Very destructive, very fun to watch. Which is better, a fast HS or one with a row of axes?
Russian Roulette win 2-1
Gameking3 vs. 090901
Not a bad match, not too long either. BoneShaker, with its unarmored front, has a tough time against the dual HS team, and BoneBreaker has some severe movement issues caused by the really skinny wheel base. However, BoneBreaker\'s all around defense/offense from the stacked spinning maces give Amonia & Bleach a run for their money.
Gameking3 wins 2-1
Hypnodisc7 vs Jack Daniels
Quite an odd match. One would expect Jack\'s dual VS to quickly dispatch of Hypno\'s team of interestingly constructed bots, but the VS get in each other\'s way more often then not.
Jack wins 3-0
Clickbeetle vs Craaig and Joeblo
Very fun match to watch, especially the awesome havok launch in round 2. Unfortunately for JoeBlo, the barrel-rolling popup he has doesn\'t quite work out as well as he\'d hoped. It does, however, provide for some interesting moments, like the popup flying and smashing the top of one of Click\'s HS.
Clickbeetle wins 3-0
Reier and Naryar vs. Greenbot and Natef
Because of the size of Nary\'s FBS\'s chassis, both of the dual popups do after Reier\'s G-4ce first thing, usually eliminating him early. This leaves the two popups up against the spinning mass of doom and maces. You might think the popups stand no chance... but because Nary\'s weapons are on flails, the popups aren\'t exactly knocked away. Could the "ghey" flails actually be Nary\'s downfall? The arena claws also play a devious part in this round too.
Greenbot and Natef win 2-1 (woah!)
RedlineM203 vs. 40757
This was one round where the low grates played part in the match, mostly because of the Dual Popups small wheels and low wedge. However, these pile ups in the flaming grates are quite fun to watch :D. Watch out for the amazing turn of events at the end of round two... it sure surprised me!
Redline wins 2-1
S.T.C. vs. Sage
My pair of FS bots are pushy, powerful, and damaging. But not if they can\'t get under the opponent. For some reason, GReeenN, the bot without a wedge, gets under the bots with a wedge. Also, S.T.C.\'s HS, because it has the irons attached directly to the tribar, really causes trouble for War & Peace. And the thing about the holes in the walls, if one bot falls, the other usually follows.
S.T.C. wins 3-0 (what!?)
TiLT vs. R1885
The new guy TiLT has some pretty decent popups, and in a straight on fight, they could do some damage. However, the VS team\'s superior turning gives them the edge in the battle. A few really cool moments, especially the 2nd round OOTA. Very nice.
R1885 wins 3-0
Wham vs. H@zm47 Another dual popup team, again against a team with an HS. Not much to say besides there\'s an interesting havok in round 2.
I need to put things in my own life ahead of GTM and RA2.
I spend too much time here, and doing stuff relating to RA2. I do it because I enjoy it, but I need to set aside my enjoyment for a while and focus on what needs to be done.
As for RAW, it will probably be the slowest moving tourney ever. But, it will get done. When I really, truly have time I will record matches as efficiently as possible. Madiaba and Trovaner have worked exceptionally hard on making a kick-butt arena, and I won't let them down on giving them a kick-butt tourney. It just may take a little longer than y'all are used to.
Alright, so I got the splash the done! The first round is also decided- The person you are next to on the splash you fight in the first round. (Urjak gets the bye).
Looking forward to seeing what you guys think! SPLASH
I don't know about you guys, but I HATE axle loading. Just takes way too long. So I came up with another way. Takes a little practice, but it's 10x faster. Here's a video-
Yo, I found something really cool yesterday. Using the speedhack tool in CheatEngine 5.5, I was able to speed up my browser 10x faster than normal. While this has downsides (youtube videos get weird, all .gifs are 10x faster as well) it REALLY speeds up your surfing, ESPECIALLY with facebook.
As some of you may have noticed, Inf has left the forum. So, he sent me off to release his BETA of his first AI pack.
Things that will be included in final version:
New UI Sages Skin Pack (FINAL VERSION) 15 Teams Built by INF 20 Community Teams Custom Arena Designed by INF
This BETA only includes the 15 Teams that INF built, as well as the original Sage's Skin Pack BETA and some random custom components INF did not want to get rid of. The download will be a stand-alone game, meaning it's noob-proof. Here are INF's notes regarding the BETA:
For a FULL UNDERSTANDING of how difficult this pack is, fight the correct bot type against the correct bot type. Not HS versus popup. Or popup vs rammer. I just don't want noobs being like "TEH BOTZ ARNT GEWD" because they took a screenshot of their HS beating a popup.
Bots that Are going to Change
Wavelength (LW) - Will be replaced Medium 2 (MW) - Will Rebuilt (OLDEST Version I have of any bot in my pack) Platform of Death III (HW) - Will Rebuild with better wedges as P.O.D. IV Vertical Horizon (HW) - Will be further improved with slightly different version with better wedges Silver Bullet 2 (HW) - Will lighten snapper setup to try and rebuild with single wedge as SB III Quark (LW) - Havoks when AIed )= 3 2 1 What (HW) - Used as filler Disdain V (LW) - Axle-stack FAIL Minimum (MW) - POSSIBLE Rebuild for better wedges GreenSpawn (MW) - BTW Never saw Aedes before I built this; Needs better wedges Radiance 3 (HW) - Better Wedge Rebuild; more armor coverage; possible swith to inline-four HP drive Vital Force (HW) - Needs to be better built with better wedges Shock (LW) - Technology/Weight Reduction Upgrade Switch Of Death (HW) - Better wedge rebuild Se\/ere (HW) - Needs Cleaner Setup; possible use of actuating wedges; needs better wedges Kataclysm (HW) - Something needs to be changed... Rolo II's (LW,HW) - Fillers for production delay Dazed/Dimension 2 (MWs) - Both will probably get rebuilt in favor of better wedges Wipeout (HW) - Will most likely get moved to team "Polar Destroyers" to fill 2nd HW spot and be renamed "Whiteout", better wedges Photon (LW) - Didnt work as wanted, rebuild or scrap heap Lightkeeper (HW) - Will use a different compact chassis to get rid of teh HAVOK
I KNOW Breaker is a better Scabies.
I KNOW Drowning Pool is an emulation of Clickbeetle's 'Sacrifice' Series
I KNOW some of these bots were used in RE-Stocked (Will Change)
I KNOW Infra was going to be used as Inside the Clock, but SC4 is going nowhere
None of the bots radius, turnspeed, turn, or throttle have been edited. Suggestions welcome for greater/lesser values
PB/Madiaba - Need Help getting Drowining Pool to flip over and then drive after inverting
If you want to contribute a team, then do so. Me and Inf will inspect and critique and then get back to you. But can you build a team good enough?
The only other people who can have two teams are pyscolone and ACAMS. If you really feel you can build two quality teams, I will see if I can OK it with INF.
Well, I thought I mind as well get this going. No point in waiting any longer.
ROBOTS AT WAR SECOND SEASON
RULES
If you don\'t already know, RAW2 is going to be STOCK 800kg MULTIBOT (two bots per person).
Of course, the general rules from BBEANS apply.
3:00 minute matches.
Each bot may weigh NO MORE than 400 kgs. (Yes, your bot can be 399.9 kgs.)
The entry limit will be 32 ENTRANTS. That means 64 bots. HOWEVER, if you so desire, you may team up with someone and only use one space for two people. This means each person makes a bot and they team up (much like the Tag Team Challenge). You may only team up with someone AFTER 32 people have signed up. This means one of you have to be in the original 32 entrants and someone that didn\'t get in on time may ask if someone will let them be their partner. If this is confusing, just ask in your post.
ARENA
It\'s a surprise. Unlike most tournaments, you won\'t know the arena or it\'s hazards until everyone has their bots in. Fun, right?
RUMBLE
So now you might be wondering, how in the world will a rumble work? Pretty simple. The builder will choose one of his two bots to compete in the rumble. So instead of multibots, you have 4 400kg bots attacking each other.[/color]
PRIZES
What, winning isn\'t enough? Kidding.
Champion will receive all three maces. Runner up gets silver and bronze, Rumble champion gets the bronze one. (credit to clickbeetle for compiling the gold mace when my compiler wasn\'t working).
hey, so as most of you know my computers fried. in light of that though, my father had a work macbook pro that he said i an use/have. one probme though. RA2 is not a mac program.
I have never used a mac before, but I have seen you talking about a program called boot camp that allows one to use a windows OS on a mac.
I don't have a windows OS disk... Can i make a copy off a windows computer? Do i have to buy a new one? does boot camp work if I download the OS off the internet?
Basically, I need a walkthrough. Can anybody help?
I just noticed that I don't look at half of the sections on this forum anymore. For example, any DSL-TC. I just stopped caring about those showcases. Also, other games stuff and robotics IRL.
Theres also threads. I never look at tournaments I'm not entered in.
What do you guys not care about on this forum? Or are you like me last year and read every new post there is?
Yep my computer died. won't turn on. It's a Compaq Presario F700 Notebook, and when I hit the power button, the lights flash fo a second and then it shuts down. It's not the battery or the power supply.
Wondering if anyone has had the same problem and if they know how to fix it.
