welcome to GTM

your walker is pretty cool, I played with such a design myself

to get you on your journey to building killer robots here is a site full of helpful tips to learn

http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm

can we please see the inside view of the second robot ?

The second popup does look pretty decent for a newbie.

Don't forget to check other showcases for ideas and advice.

Can we also see the insides of the walker?

Welcome to the forums! :D

Not a newbie at all, given that you have already learned how to use most of the advanced building techniques.

Anyway, your walker's quite cool! Interesting setup and awesome movement. But since it's slightly underweight, try using DDTs instead of Snapper2s and it will probably be less tipsy. :P

As for your second bot (we call that a popup), it would fare better if it has a burst motor wedge (there's a link in JoeBlo's post, Basic Techniques section) and if it uses stronger motors and multiple light weapons.

And like Naryar said, browser other showcases for inspiration. :D

uh.. thanks !!... and actually, i played RA2 a lot at age 10 (i didnt remember, but it must be around 10 - 11)... then retired at age 12 XD... so im not a total newbie (now,my age is 15 DX)
and this is da inside view of the popup

i tried my best 4 the chassis, to make it as small as possible DX

the inside of walker is pretty simple...

PS. oh thanks for the tutorial link!!!...

Ah. Popup's not bad at all. Now rotate your drive by 90 degrees so the flat side is parallel to the ground. Then give it 2 more HPZs and use rubber wheels instead of Fatboys (don't worry, they can still touch the ground). And instead of using 6 Snapper2s, use 2 or 4 DDTs and attach 2 to 3 razors on each motor (you can do both of these by using the eFFe glitch, which is near the bottom of the Techniques page). And lastly, add a burst wedge so you can get under bots easier (and you can also self-right with that).

Oh, and I almost forgot - DSA (double strength aluminum) is the best armor available in the stock game. You can achieve this by building a chassis and skipping the armor tab. Twice the strength of aluminum for the same weight. :D

okay! i'll try to add more hpz and burst wedge. and i' try replacing da snapper with ddt. ps... actually the popup used 10 snapper, and its not possible to attach a wedge,its too heavy

JoeBlo · « **Reply #8 on:** December 12, 2009, 07:55:55 AM »

you need to lighten the load to attach more things, you dont need that many snappers, try putting multiple weapons on 1 DDT to save weight

ariqhad · « **Reply #9 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:27:16 AM »

oh. okay! at first, i think that if i add more snapper, it will increase the attack DX. but maybe that was wrong.. -_-''

Hmm.

To take a screenshot in game, press f11. Right now it looks like you are doing something else. When you take a screenshot with f11, it goes to C:/program files/infogrames/Robot Arena 2/screenshots.

Please upload them using the image uploader on this site (found on the front page), but before you do can you crop the image so we only see the bot and not the bot lab? We all know what the bot lab looks like. And save it as a JPG because it loads a lot faster.

AWSOME!!!! I just saw your walker on youtube a while ago, and nice popup for a newbie

I wish I had RA2

G.K. · « **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2009, 12:04:00 PM »

Then download it from System's sig, and DSL from Sage's sig.

Oh, and ariqhad, the walker is really nice.

DuckRA2 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2009, 01:48:52 PM »

I like the springyness in the walker

ariqhad · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2009, 06:39:34 PM »

Scrap Daddy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2009, 06:56:53 PM »

All it needs now is a head. :P

OH MY GOD YES I CAN WATCH VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE NOW!!!!!

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2009, 06:59:42 PM »

Your walker reminds me of something out of Armored Core.

ariqhad · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:26:01 PM »

ookay!! its done !!! i do my best 4 upgrading my second bot.. (argh, the chassis is too small..... ugh)

but..... i think the first one is better...
p.s : for head... um...maybe i should put hammer 4 the head... but its too heavy..
p.s : armored core??? what is that??

JoeBlo · « **Reply #18 on:** December 12, 2009, 08:39:31 PM »

it would be cool if you used the boxers gloves for the walker

download the AI parts from my site www.robotarena.info they are legel for use in any stock robot

Sage · « **Reply #19 on:** December 12, 2009, 09:50:44 PM »

This popup is definitely better. Can you tell us the weight?

Try to put the wedges on a burst motor, because they seem to do a lot better than a static wedge like the one you have. Good job stacking everything together, it looks cool. But 88 kgs is a lot to spend on just stacking motors.
