Robots that could have made a reappearance
« on: May 31, 2014, 06:31:19 AM »
Have you ever felt that a robot dissapointed you could have returned with a different design to go far? Ever had thoughts for that design? designed it yourself on drawings, RA2, models? Well post it here, I'm gonna start off with:

Roadblock/ Beast of Bodmin

Roadblock didn't improve at all for the 2nd wars and they could have at least made another weapon for it, so when it came for series 3 as Beast of Bodmin, they had seen the srimech used, so they could have made a better flipper and improved it throughout the other series, so I was disappointed with their machine.

Looks cool and solid

Moved to Real Robotics General Discussion.
Has no relevance to RA2 so it didn't belong there in my opinion.

Am I really the only one who keeps the number of colours to a minimum?

presumably he didn't have enough grey or black blocks to do it all in one colour.

Ok thanks :smile:

Yeah, the wedges I had to scavenge for and the bricks are all jumbled in my Lego box, trying to find many of one colour is like trying to operate a remote control car through a maze blind folded.

son of smashy goes undefeated and doesnt return
no
it could have gotten some better armor and it could have possibly beaten hazard
that would be fight of the century
the resiliency of SoS versus the weapon of hazard

You know the guy who made Son of Smashy made Pressure Drop and Complete Control right? :V

I don't think it would've done that well, it's hard to gauge a robot's armor strength when it never had to take on a powerful spinner.  I guess Derek Young didn't have the time to work on SoS once he started building Complete Control, but hopefully you agree that that was for the better.

i like complete control more but
i think SoS was a more effective design for damage though
pressure drop was an awesome walker though
that man has talent
