The fact that everything looks off centre is hurting me

Tbh this was more of a one in a year design, might make it in rr2 where i can make it not sh**

Disc was supposed to be smaller actually and was intended to not have a gap

Front is designed to not be attached to the chassis, but to be bolted on with spacers (idk i cant explain)
Also its all extenderbot so eh, skinning is a no

One thing you could think about adding to the game is being able to place one wheel in both ends of a belt or chain system. If I have a motor in the back of the robot for an example, and I'm trying to make a 4 WD, I can't place a wheel in the back because the game won't let me. And another thing, is is possible to use only one battery for all motors in a bot? IRL most robots from lower weight classes are powered by only one battery.

1. They are planning to add the feature to attach more than one chain/wheel to the motor

2. I think you can use a splitter to do that

Not sure.  It might be for an engineering camp this summer.

Oh, i thought it would be sooner, but gladly its not as im busy, and will be for a couple of weeks.
Hosting a tournamet via parsec may or may not be a problem, depending on the ping/input delay, as if i were to host, i would be hosting from EU. I had success hosting to US people so im not that worried.

The plan is to run the host on the computer at the college.  They have a VR gaming PC and a high-bandwidth connection.  Everyone, including the host, would be within the same city.  I just wanted to know what sort of issues we are going to have if we start advertising this as a thing that people can do with the game.  I would love to open it up to students, but I'm a little scared of the logistics -- parents would be paying money for the experience, and it needs to go well.

Honestly there are 2 worst case scenarios
1. The client has a weaker internet speed than it is required and the input lag/visual lag will be very large
2. The client wont be able to connect to the host, which itself can be resolved by resetting the router of the client (idk if that works all of the times)

Maybe a test hosting session?

Hey guys,

With schools shut down due to COVID here in the US, we were just asked if the game could be used in "virtual summer camps" to teach about robotics and to hold virtual robot combat tournaments.  How do you guys feel about using the game with a bunch of kids and hosting a tournament via Parsec?  I know that we do it here with a bunch of die-hard folks, but is it ready for a bunch of students?

What would be the date and time?

I wonder if irl, there are motor cooling solutions like fans or heatsinks.

Was asking because imo the motors are overheating too fast

Tried the build and, its great.
Its a shame that the flippers are gone, but its not an issue

Overheating is great, but imo they overheat too much
A40 motors are overheating when idle if: it is set as servo, and has limited angles

If a battery is not wired to the esc, and if you go to test area, the bot explodes, and when i go back to the lab, parts fall off

The fighting is top notch, the hits are well done, and bots dont self destruct

One thing that is broken is the selfrighting. It is kinda non functional as seen in this vid below:


Also custom arenas are gone, all the AMT made and the game made (Test arena is still selectable)

22-May is missing for windows btw.

I personally wouldn't allow the bot as the spinner arms dont have adequate supports to hold them together, but its a step up for sure. Not a big one, but still

Red Moon - That looks ugly, also 3 bursts is a no no, host only allows 2
RED FOX - Pretty basic, the weapon doesnt have the supports so that is also not legal.

Also jesus please attach images properly

Sounds like the Discord is a party. Not so much with Jonzu around.
Jonzu isnt talking that often there
