there is an easy way to get a custom paint job.. just export the template the copy and paste stuff.. that's basically it :P I'm sure you can figure it out.

that's how i did the paint job on aggression (my BBEANS 3 entry).

Haha sage. Yeah I like them. They look pretty cool. Now that you bring it up, I was thinking about making my own texture earlier today.

Quote from: Somebody;33615
When Inf was complaining about my cloned bot in Robo Zone, I just thought this

"Inf's bot is a better version of Shreddar. My bot is a better version of ECO Jr."

When you have 10 minutes to build a bot, a clone is the best you are going to get.


No....

....but I'll let you go since you admit you cloned.

Quote from: Scrap Daddy;33607
Well, Spin Cycle is Aerial HK and Inf posted it like August 07. I fought it online even earlier so I don't know...


Amen.

Quote from: ianh05;33616
spin cycle has been around for ages (before BBEANS 3) i think.. Inf wouldn't clone a bot from anyone less superior..


AMEN.

I'm ussually not good with the pop-ups but I think I did a good job on this one. Hubs and Green snappers used to get a better wedge.

Does that has 2 stacked blacks?

If yes it looks fine.

This is possibly why I dont remember seeing it, because I arrived a few weeks before BBEANS3.

Alot of people were complaining about the wheels being too exposed on my bbeans entry so here's a slightly better version. The plow setup saves 1 kg.

Use the hidden (side) attachment points of each weapon snapper to attach drive and snowplows, and you'll save 2 snappers.

That's actually a good idea. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that earlier.

First 36 HS. Need to be fixed up on 2 things though. Exposed motors and it doesn't have Maces (which I would prefer). I didn't add maces because I think it would Touch the ground. Also, sorry for the bmp. I forgot when I saved it :/

36 HS need a small chassis. It's fine as it is.
Put this onto your signature if you were part of this crappy fad in '03.

I'm assuming you would need plastic to be invertible because I see no room at all for Slipper bottoms. Also, This bot havoks if you turn about ~900 degrees none stop in a circle. I had an idea last night after I shut off the computer on how to add those maces and make it less exposed. I'm going to test it out right now.

nah you dont need grannies... just a different setup. i dont think even with grannies this bot would be invertible.
