Min,

I just had a thought about gyro.  If you were driving the real-life Minotaur you wouldn't push the stick all the way left or right if you felt the robot lifting due to gyro.  You would back off the stick slightly to try to keep the robot flat.  Likewise, you would be continuously adjusting the motor speed so you weren't going full speed all of the time.

If you don't have a game controller with an analog stick at home, you can simulate this input by hooking up the drive motors to 8 or 12 volts.

If you were to try a reduced drive voltage, how does it feel when you are turning with a reduced input signal?  Is gyro controllable?
If I set drive motors to 8 or 12 volts, its turning speed reduced as well as its linear speed, so...actually I didn't feel it much different, just like the entire bot was slower. As the turning speed reduced, surely the gyro was more controllable, but meanwhile it would be much harder to turn, so yeah.

I don't know much about physics, but as I saw in real battles, when drums like minotaur started gyroing, they just turn in place for self-righting.

In my cognition, gyro should be like (Feb 16th)

not like(May 26th)

Drums gyro way too much in this game, imo. If you have a standard vert with the same weight (or even more) in its weapon, it doesn't gyro as ludicrous as a drum would. I feel like there's something up with a formula you're using that is causing this.

Decided to make WoW's Bullfrog. I like it, but I definitely could've done better.

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.
Might want to use Discord or something alongside Parsec to better communicate with those attending. It also might help to plan everything out like build rules. Make sure bots sent in are actually functional.

So guys
What is your best of my robot
It’s a bit too early to say. I like your RR2 bot, but for RA2 I’m not sure.

I make evrything red because my name is bloodys
My name is CodeSilver, but that doesn't mean I'm only limited to silver robots. While I do see that you're sticking to your "signature theme", similar to Orc making Deadgnaws bots, keep in mind that you should at least make them visually appealing before slapping it onto every design you make.

piece of advice, don’t use the painter tool. Painter tool will permanently stain your bot. Instead, use shapes, scale them thin, and line them up so that they’re flush to the robot.
This is actually a really good first build for RR2. Ngl, for my first robot I accidentally made a swastika spinner.

Sorry to say this, but that likely won't get accepted to OW5 due to copyright issues between TheOrcCorp and Nickelodeon. Also I don't think the supports are IRL enough either. Sorry mate, but keep up the good work!

Oh boy. It's been a hot minute since I've posted any bots on here. Anyways, here's a bot that I'm very happy with how it's turned out so far. Say hello to Double Dragon!
 
Double Dragon vert

This configuration is a dual vertical spinner (not unlike Counter Revolution) that includes srimech wings.
 
Double Dragon angled

This configuration is a dual angled spinner.
I'm also planning on doing a dual hs, but i haven't gotten around to that yet.

Have you made any horizontal spinners?

ngl that concept is absolutely genius. Only nitpick is that the wedgelets and dustpan are definitely not IRL. also please show internals

Gonna agree with what poke said. Also I think it would be cool to have two wedgelets one each side, just shorten the length again. The design is looking better though!

I like the design. Only thing I'd say it to cut the wedge length in half if not more, and use the rest of the weight to make weapon mounts.

You should show off a pic of your RR2 creations I think they are super cool and people will love them and I also think you should do a loud house robot in RR2 as that would be also very cool as well.

Touka-Chan and Roka vs Buttered Popcorn and Clown Car

Is a round over when one bot dies or if 3 bots died?
3 bots died
(God help me recording this)

Received everything, not looked at it yet.
Good luck
