I think the cool spinning axle is causing the glitching.

122
How about if a motor has nothing on it, it auto turns off,
I've been trying to say this for weeks!

Again, I didn’t say you have to paint. I’m just saying that it would be nice if you added spikes or something to make your designs less... bland.
CodeSilver, you wanted decoration, here's Mindblown:

The problem with the gyrodancing didn't go away. I'm thinking that if the motors stopped after a wheel is torn off, then the glitch will be fixed.
EDIT: The problem is fixed, apparently I mistook the gyro created by the wheels for the glitch.

I don't see any of mine in there.

I'll want to add that while the tool is not a bad idea, I'm not much of a fan of having to use that and Blender or whatever if I want cool looks and have a still durable component. I'm more for just doing everything in game and see where it ends.
With that I am more fond of the idea of grouping bits together in game where it'll look good and still be durable enough.

Maybe also add a group function for currently built bots that use ingame components, because cmt is gonna mean that bots should be rebuilt
CMT????? What is that?

"Component Modding Tool"?


Lightning, I will trade you Rainbow Circus for the robot with the gyro dancing!  :smile:

If you look at my showcase, Takedown does the weird gyro thing. I include a download link on my showcase for the bots I post.

I just loaded up Takedown and didn't see the gyro dancing in the latest build.  Are you using the 11January bleeding edge build?
Download Red Ring of Death from my showcase, fight it versus Takedown AI, and tear a wheel off of Takedown. I am using the 11January build. My physics slider settings are 500 ticks a second, and 100 on the other two. The thing is you have to wait a little bit for it to start glitching. I built these bots in an earlier build so maybe that’s why they’re glitching.

Now can you send me Rainbow Circus? The laptop I use can run the game at more than 90 fps

Why don’t you like it?

Any robot with premade wheels does it. I think when a part is broken off of a motor, the motor should stop functioning. That might fix it.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Yeah, I know. That's where the motor was when I had transparent chassis on. I couldn't tell it was sticking out. Download it and the damage it can do will blow your mind!

131
When I ripped a wheel off in the 11January build, the bot still gyrodances around.
EDIT: The rolling pin doesn't even rotate with my settings, so that fixes the annoying clanking.
EDIT 2: Can you send me Rainbow Circus? I have a VERY powerful laptop I would like to try it on.

I just finished a very destructive sawbot I named The Hot Knife. Here it is:

I figured out what was wrong with my sawbot! When limits are set, motor shafts on the arm stay at the original location!

134
I noticed with the new steel floor there is this weird clanking that seems to be coming from that rolling pin. Here's a video, play it with sound:

Speaking about hammers, I tried to make a sawbot and this happened:

Could you please fix it?

We might be bumping up against a limitation of the physics engine.  The tradeoff seems to be between having spinners that feel nice and weighty, but are unstable, vs spinners that spin reliably without issues but don't have the gyroscopic effects.  We can always increase the "kick" when it hits something, so maybe it is a tradeoff we can live with?
I'm for unstable spinners, because they are more realistic.

137
At some point I’m going to have to deal with the fact that hammers are going to have less than 1% of the kinetic energy of a spinner.  Damage will need to work differently.  I suppose that is a problem for the future though.
If materials had puncture strength and tear strength, then hammers could do puncture damage and spinners could do tear damage.

138
I noticed this glitch in the 03January build:

EDIT: The robot that is gyrodancing has no spinning weapons.

I put the weight in the weapons. Speaking about weapons, this is Delta-V, the biggest spinner I've ever built:

EDIT: New botfile for a version with a longer bar. This version sent the crate into the roof in the test arena:

It might help to add a little bit more detail to your designs tho. I’m not saying that you have to add color, but that doesn’t mean you cant make it look original.
I don't paint them because it takes a long time and I just want to fight them. But that doesn't mean you can't download them and paint them.
