I got a little tired of being able to beat these robots so easily by just flipping them over, so I rebuilt them for inverted running.

If anyone has any interesting rebuilds of the original game robots, post them here. I'll be adding more soon .........

Downloading starcore AI 3.0 would be so much easier and the bots would be so much better.

I already have Starcore's v3.0, and have been playing it - I just felt like re-doing the original robots for fun.

Catfish would suck right side up, upside down, or sideways. It would suck even if it had cattle prods instead of iron spikes. There's no improving Catfish. Nice rebuilds by the way.

Well, yeah, gotta agree with you on Catfish - it IS a weak design ....I think I'm going to go in and redesign the entire thing, maybe make it lower and run Z-Teks on it or something.

Here's BOT-204 - don't know why it didn't show in the last post...

It's fun messing with the stock AI. I once took BOT-204's chassis and rebuilt it into a big, gnarly 800 kg heavyweight vertical spinner, just to show how unnecessarily huge the stock AI's chassises are. You can make a HW from a LW

The stock AI are gonna have their revenge in DSL 2.0 though...

SpyGuy · « **Reply #6 on:** June 26, 2006, 02:06:27 AM »

LOL - a HW VS from BOT-204?? Man, I gotta see that ... do you have any pictures? You're right, the stock AI have SO much wasted space in there that could be used for more stuff.

Here's a full rebuild on Catfish (again), this time with the lower chassis to make him more easily invertible:

And, talking about wasted space, I decided to fill up some of the space on Backyard Ripper :

Oh yeah, that was a question of mine from the old AU days. How do you angle the HP Z-Tec to do what it does in Backyard Ripper?

SpyGuy · « **Reply #8 on:** June 26, 2006, 11:54:47 PM »

Very easy - all you do is mount the Z-Tek on its end on top of a baseplate anchor. The ones inside Backyard Ripper are angled at 45 degrees, and you just have to move the anchors back and forth a little until you have just the shaft of the Z-tek poking out of the front. BR uses a standard Z-Tek - mine are HP's, so the anchor needed to be set back a little further.

No. Who are you to be the law ? Stop being such an obnoxious asshole and maybe people will respect you.

oh my god dogmasher can you STOP BUMPING

look before you post please it's really annoying

My name is badnik and you should ignore everything i say because despite being here for years i still don't know my place in this community and instead backseat moderate every thread I enter.

Hi my name is badnik and I just ignored everything the moderator just said.

I'll say it again so Nary doesn't have to.

THIS. BUMP. WAS. HARMLESS. YOU. ARE. NOT. A. MODERATOR. BE. QUIET. AND. LET. STAFF. DO. THEIR. JOB.

The reason WE want US to handle these things is so WE can handle them in a semi-professional manner instead of being a prissy little twit and making somebody mad, which is what starts MASSIVE FLAME WARS THAT NONE OF US WANT TO DEAL WITH. Know your place.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 15, 2013, 01:22:31 PM »

So I can't post my opinion anymore huh?

It has seriously gotten out of hand. At least limit Dogmasher like Sparkey was so this happens less than 5 times a day.

Also, you say you can handle these things in a semi-professional way then vandalize my post with giant red text. I'm sure the warning would have spoken for itself.

I know I'm going to get muted and become public enemy #1 after this post, so I bid you all adieu. I'll be over with NFX on the ARC forum where we can actually do things reasonably.

People may hate me over this but I have to agree with Badnik.
