You need to take picture by clicking a F11 button when in game (RA2}, go to screenshot folder, open a picture then crop a picture and post a picture of your robot like this:
Code: [Select]
[img]example link[/img]
or link to this https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2143.0
and also welcome to GTM!

I'm pretty sure he knows how, he said he's been on the forums before. (Just never registered)

He was (probably) just reserving a spot for later.

It's not like we're running out of space :P There was no real reason to make the showcase right now. He could've waited until he had a bot to showcase.

That's true. But I did have one and was working on it, then I had to leave to go somewhere. But maby by tonight (china time) I will post one. I'm working on LW's right now.


EDIT: I just found that you press f11, but I was planning on using win+printsscreen on my windows computer.

Take it from me, you'll image will look bad. You can just take the screeshots, put them in an image editor and save them as jpegs if you don't want to use up space.

You can't start a showcase without images. If your next post in here does not include images of your bots, I will be forced to lock this showcase.

Not really. I highly doubt anyone's gonna care if someone posts a lossy image of an RA2 bot.

Don't worry. Your showcase will be here. Posts will only be removed if they violate forum rules.

As for the bot, stick to the weight limit. BWs are considered to be 175 kg while LWs are 249 kg.

Aside from that, not sure if you have noticed but it's possible to stack pinks into the control board, so you can put the drive around the batteries instead of behind it. Improves steering and probably lightens your bot. Weapon choice is fine, although axes are pretty rare as irons or maces are almost always better.

Decent build overall, keep it up.

Thanks! But i couldn't stack razors for some reason, that is why i put axe heads there. And about the drive and battery scenario, i stacked the batteries so.... i don't know if you can clip more than one battery in a single chip.

Can someone give me a link to the new weight system mod?

It's not a mod; we just have some "unofficial" weight classes.  Beetleweight isn't in the game but we consider the limit to be 175 kg.  Similarly, we say that Antweight is 125 kg and Cruiserweight is 600 kg.  The only in-game weightclasses are Lightweight, Mediumweight, and Heavyweight.

I'm back!

This time with a concept:

Tell me to build it or not, or make adjustments to the "blueprint".

EDIT: I should at least post a bot, so here:

Building Tips are welcome!

wow you actually planned it on paper

You could just go for it and see if you could pull it off. In general those designs don't really work that well in stock because extenders are hella fragile and 4WD RAD drive is a waste of weight. Maybe it would work in DSL 2.2?

As for the VS, this type of design desperately needs wedges. Either use Snapper II wedges, or you could probably just make your chassis wedges shallower. 3 pinks also aren't enough to properly power the HPZs. Rebuild the chassis to accommodate a Supervolt and that's pretty much it. Weapon setup isn't exactly weight-efficient but I guess it gives the bot some flavor.

I actually have 5 pinks... and its usually enough for a 3 min fight.

As for rebuilding the chassis, ill wait till another time.

And ill try building my planned spinner a bit differently.

P.S.

something random i put together:
