First bot - Needs shinies, a flatter chassis, less pistons. So you'll gain weight.

Second bot - It's crap, but Scout is even crappier, so it won a match. Really HS = game breaker in Stock.

Second wasn't serious, it was me screwing around, I only posted it here to see if anyone knew how it wasn't counted out, what with it having no wheels, and all.

Saying that, what would be a good Lightweight to fight?

Any one of the LW's in Starcore AI.

...Okay, I have just systematically eliminated each lightweight, apart from the one from The Dats' which crashes RA2 whenever I try to enter the battle (like with PR's heavyweight). And if you need pictures for proof, I can do that. Not really too bad for a jokey robot that was supposed to keel over and die upon entering the battlefield.

TC, your over-estimating EMERGENCY's abilities. Its one of the weakest bots in existence.
And Chaosmancer, if you want to replace the AIs in your game, its a good idea to start by dragging the RA2 folder out of your C: drive.

And HS, or a pop-up.

...I would've uploaded another test by now, if RA2 wasn't being so annoying and constantly crashing. What is it about 800x600 windowed mode that makes RA2 constantly crash?

SKBT · « **Reply #46 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:36:27 PM »

RA2 is stupid. That's why it crashes...

Chaosmancer · « **Reply #47 on:** October 10, 2011, 12:43:45 PM »

Ah, now it all makes sense, I don't know why I didn't realise that to begin with.

Right. I've gotten bored trying to build seriously, so here is a bot that I tried to shape into the triforce, but after random dragging, it turned into a thunderbolt. Then I decided to add axes and just see how much I could screw it up. Slim wheels are so that it can actually drive, works pretty well in battle.

Side view:

Top view:

Weight:

I would find a serious analysis of a joke bot amusing to read, so feel free to berate it's looks and lack of efficiency.

This looks... interesting...

Oh, and I made a Triforce bot for a BoTM a long time ago... DSL MW NCR glitch FBS I believe.

Chaos, I'll give you a tip. Never use pinks, they're useless, unless in a Antweight or Beetleweight.... =/

I'm not gonna ask why the

that actually works in battle =P

Not really... unless you are fighting Stock AI of course, but the difficulty of Stock AI is so high.

Though pinks are easy to stack, so that's a bonus of them

I used pinks because they are the only ones that would fit. Simple as. You try fitting a larger battery into that shape along with wheels and weapons of some sort. I could probably do with a battle against a real person, but I doubt that will happen (mostly because I don't want to ask, but oh well).

lol just rebuild the chassis then, unless you REALLY want to keep the shape.

Build the chassis around the components, not components around the chassis

I wanted to keep the chassis because I get bored with doing things normally. It either needs to be obscure or it needs to explode otherwise I lose interest.

Well make it some sort of trinity if you want it to be partially effective
