Having gotten to doing stuff in this game, might as well make one of these.
So here's my first RR2 bot, Sentinal. Been long since I've build anything in any game.
(https://i.postimg.cc/T2786dbr/screenshot-1.png)
Been having just 1 issue now with him. When driving, with or without weapon, it seems to hop up with the front from time to time. Anyone got any ideas on what causes such behavior?
-
That’s a really cool design. The most likely reason for your bot bouncing around would probably be because friction isn’t fully accurate yet.
-
Accurate on what part and how to fix it? I'm a little confused.
Annoyingly the hopping around also causes the disk to just slow down a lot.
-
Sorry. Screwed up my sentence. Should be updated now
-
Oh, right then. So this is more in part with what's yet to be fixed, I take it.
I still want to enter this bot, but I do wonder if AI knows how to self-right. I haven't looked at the AI adding stuff yet myself.
-
You can enter it. I know how to ai it so that the srimech fires properly.
-
Made another thing. I think this came out well.
Phantasm

Doesn't do well when flipped, but holy crap it hits hard. I'm pleased enough with this. And yes, I quite like black.
-
I really love the style of Phantasm, especially the shape of blade on the spinner. Looking forward to seeing what you put out in the future.
-
Thanks. I'm still trying out things. Kinda want something that's not a spinner next, also for the sake of entering lesser seen bot styles in SvL. In that also finding where the current limits go in the games current version.
Doesn't help that I can't AI at all. Well, not even really try much since the spinner specs window keeps being in the way.
-
AI'ing is sort of just being explored now and we have a couple of decent setups from various people. The Telemetry screen glitch is a massive PITA but you can copypaste to notepad or notepad++ to get around it. I'm going to shill my HAMMER AI (you can find it in the RR2 AI thread or on the RA2Central Discord) as it makes it super simple to set up a hammer/flipper.
Hope to see you in SvL S2 soon!
-
I've seen the hammer AI. It seems that while going blind, it was already set to work for spinners, it seems. Well at least Phantasm seems to act correctly under AI.
Didn't think of trying to copy/paste the text. Thanks for that tip.
-
Yay double post~
Anyways, new idea that didn't turn into what I had in mind at first. Well that's all I know since I had forgotten the idea...
Should I enter this thing in SvL? I'm not sure.

-
This is actually really cool. 2 questions:what’s its name? And is it’s face invertable?
-
The face is indeed invertable. And the name is Kiwi on Steroids.
-
In the AI topic I mentioned a hammer bot getting corrupted. I've been busy and have rebuilt it completely. Result is somewhat better too. Learned that I can edit custom shapes later too even if already placed in the bot. Super practical!
Anyways, here is Stopping Power~
(https://i.postimg.cc/QdVytN9R/Stopping-Power-front.png)
(https://i.postimg.cc/FsT6NkRy/Stopping-Power-back.png)
First of... I'm not gonna try AI this thing again. I don't want to go through this (https://gametechmods.com/forums/robot-rumble-2-0/robot-rumble-2-0-ai-thread/msg768312/#msg768312) again.
I've attached the bot file for anyone willing. If successful, I might want to enter it in SvL for my 3rd entry. Otherwise it's that green thing that's somehow supposed to be a kiwi.
Second... This bot doesn't feel like it does much damage. Oh well. Might be me.
Lastly. The more I work with this botlab, the more I like it. Feels so much better than RA2.
-
Holy sh**, absolutely stunning!
-
I love all the pipe and hammer arm detailing. Excellent work!
-
Honestly I wish I didn't have to build everything from scratch a second time with Stopping Power. Putting in all this work does make me realize how much effort other great builders put in their creations.
I do feel like a function that could be added would be to mirror objects/shapes. In the case with custom shapes it would make it easier to quickly have something that fits on both sides of the bot. Take the left and right panels on the front for example. These weren't hard to do, but for more complex shapes though...
-
Holy crap Stopping Power is absolutely beautiful. The detailing and pipework is just incredible. I'm really sorry I broke it the first time round but I am so glad you went back to rebuild this beauty of a bot.
-
Eh. Don't feel too bad about it. IT sucks that it happened, but with a game that's still in early alpha and it being wonky from time to time, bad sh** is kinda to be expected. The PC crash with it wasn't expected, but I'm assuming it or Windows tried to handle something it couldn't and just went full derp instead.
And I really just had to rebuild it. No way I was going to just drop this one.
-
I don't know why I went for another hammer bot, but here we are. Not really strong with the hammer though. Oh well, it's got looks and a decent pushing game.

Stopping Power is so cool!!!

My try at making a flipper.
4 wheeled, still driving stable.
Sends stuff flying quite well.
Personally not sure on how to AI a flipper at all.
Bot file is attached to the post for people wanting to try do that,
or that want to have some fun with this bot.
-
Oh I love the shape and the little details. I may give AI'ing it a go. Amazing work yet again, my dude.
-
I'll admit I did some big time clipping with the drive motors, but otherwise I just couldn't get the design the way I wanted it.
And I feel like the pipe/rod theme also helps to more easily do these corners. Plus it looks decently nice.
-

More of a fantasy style, or should I say Final Fantasy (https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Aetheryte).
With inspiration, this was style I wanted to try pull off in Robot Rumble due to how much the workshop allows.
Not sure what others will think of it, but I'm pleased enough with how it came out.
This is most probably not realistic enough to enter in tournaments, I'd guess.
-

Quickly made a more stable version of this thing.
It's definitely a kiwi, I swear.
-
This time I made a more serious vert.
Introducing to the family of bots here...

-
These are all fire my guy. Can't give too much advice cause I haven't really been playing this but they look dope.
-
I like how detailed the drum is!
-
(https://i.postimg.cc/T3Tjc02Q/Violence-Amplifier.png)
A bit more of an open design. Hits hard and likes to dance.
Took inspiration from the good old Ghost Raptor battlebot.
-
After the new update, I needed to edit all my bots for the drive motors.
In that I've decided to rework Phantasm so that it can drive upside down, making use of some new stuff.
So here's Phantasm 2
(https://i.postimg.cc/fLtv2d0W/Phantasm-2.png)
-
Should probably dump this one here too. Finally made something new.
Here is Disc-O-Inferno!
(https://i.postimg.cc/c4Qn3F1R/Disc-O-Inferno.png)
-
nice, the bolts are an excellent touch btw
-
got a cool oldschool look to it. like one of the old battlebots LWs.
heads up but it looks like a motor is clipping through the plexi.

I'm aware. It's only the lower layer of the plexi. It's thick enough to still be okay.
-
This one took a while to finish up.
I blame distractions like work and Pokemon.
Anyways.
He's got looks and a good bite!

What in the world, it’s awesome!
-
And from one awesome machine,
now a light weight version is born.

Spicy
-
After having fixed some gearing on Ignister and adding a self-righting system...
It was high time to rebuild the good old Phantasm,
not that I know what I'm doing.
Not only is it more powerful and is the blade lower to the ground,
This time it comes with a self righting system!
Was it needed? Yeah. With the huge weapon motor I couldn't get it invertable without the blade then hitting the floor.

Thats some hot undercutter action
-
Love it
-
More bot rework stuff.
This time the turn of Stopping Power.
Adding some more power to that hammer!

Time for an actual new bot now that making flippers is a thing again.
(https://i.postimg.cc/pLxM6RrY/Vishuda.png)
-
After that speedy flipper, here's a front hinged one.
(https://i.postimg.cc/q7YkcGqt/Adhara.png)
-
when is it getting a mouse minibot
-
Damn that's actually a good idea. Especially since I still have the weight left from Adhara.
-
this one gives me big reptar vibes
-
Who is reptar?
-
Who is reptar?
I think badnik is talking about an antweight flipper
