Weight? Armor?Its obveiously a heavyweight.
And put small wedges on an extender for the DDTs, those brackets don't get under other wedges well.Yea, they suck.
Also, what is that about Armadillo in your sig?Because after so many years, that user decided to finally start playing this game again.
Decent chassis management.Its hilarious
I would widen the DDTs out and put real wedges on them. Maybe some frontal armor.Frontal Armor seems a bit un-needed, as the grinder is armor enough as it is. Seriously.
Well, try it against some AI bots, share battle pics and what happened.Honestly, I forget why this guy was annoying:
You could save some chassis weight by stacking two blacks and shrinking the chassis in the back.I was never really good at stacking, really.
And yay for old members returning!I missed this game/forum
Don't use Pinks on Heavyweights.
Moo Take out the nifty and Pink and add another black.Yea.. I should replace it. I only origionaly removed it because I though I would be using that space. Methinks I miscalculated a bit.
And you should have joined under the username Armadillo so everyone knows.My interests over awesome things has become much more sence I joined back in 04.(I think it was 04 on the last site)
Try downloading one of the new AI packs (Remember InfiniteInertia? Bet you can't beat 95% of his AI Pack he made).I'll download those later. My brother wants to play this game aswell, and I dun think he can beat 'SOOP'D UP' AIs.
I think super wide and longer wedges will benefit you more. Can you put the DDT in the space on the far ends of the chassis? Then you can move the baseplate anchor up and put that black battery back in.As stated before, the black battery still fits. and no, the DDTs dont fit in the corners if I lift them up 1 notch. I like them where they are as they are effectivly in the ground(or at least that close)
You can have multiple copies of RA2 on your computer. You can download a clean Stock 1.3 from Sage's signature and put Infiniteinertia AI into it......Would that 2nd copy, the one in Sage's sig, allow me to go online?
Sure. Everyone downloads it from there.So people who still use the disk (me) would be rare?
Sure. Everyone downloads it from there.So people who still use the disk (me) would be rare?
lol?
If I get around to it, I'll download a 2nd copy with random AIs in it.Sure. Everyone downloads it from there.So people who still use the disk (me) would be rare?
lol?
Well I can't speak for everyone, but this works without the disc and sometimes disc installation requires the disc to be in the computer. Plus I can just drag a new copy out of the .RAR every time I need it, instead of just installing again.
Just scrunch up the extra space to save a bit of weight.Flails for some reason, never really worked for me.
Is that an SnS? If it is, add more weapons. Lots more. And flails make SnS much more effective.
I'm more of a DSL SnS guy, but I can tell you that if you take flails and put on a weapon rack filled with something along the lines of maces, razor tips, or iron spikes. It will be good.Sure. I'll give that a try.
Do you have the 1.3 patch? I may be mistaken but I believe thats what will fix the blurry buttons.I dont mind the blurry buttons. I actully know which button does what.
My eyes burn at the extender work O.OI was laughing the whole time I was building this thing.
No angle connectors.Why? They use un-necessary amounts of weight?
Aye, and are terribly brittle.Ive always had extenders fall off before angle connectors do. Weird. Regardless, I think I can remove a few.
You don't always have to stay away from anglers, just use them sparingly. Usually you can get the same effect with normal extenders, which are lighter.Yea, I USUALLY can.
Put a single DDT with a long wedge down the middle, and then rebuild the chassis to eliminate the rest of the space. More frontal armor too, covering the chassis.The 3 Ram plates are armor enough, IMO, OR I could just use more Anchors.
Side hammers work best when hybridized with rammers.Yea, I was thinking about that. But I went with ramps instead. Though i COULD replace 2 of the 3 plates with Iron Spikes, and then replace the ramps with an additional set of Iron Spikes.
The front is typically very vulnerable (just look at your old BBEANS3 bot Mini Cutman) so having a tough weapon rack in front really helps with survivability.I'm guessing Ram Plates have low-er HP then your generic weapons. But again, I could try replacing 1 or 2 of the plates with a spike or 2. It might be more effective that way.
Looks like a good start so far though... your building skills have improved in your absence.Yea, I was wondering that myself.
Mini Cutman is in the BBEANS AI Pack.Mini Cutman was just random.
You can still be original and kick-bot!I find that hard for some reason.
See: Pulse, Pulse 2, Solstice, and just about any bot in click's showcase. There's more (probably some in Pwn, Scrap, and Robo showcases) But i can't remember names :/That's because Click is AMAZING at RA2.

Im sure when click mentioned front protection, i dont think he means just 2 irons, im pretty sure he means something like thisOh so he meant more like a fence sort-of-thing.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/26212damnn.png)
See how at the bottom it has the axes and what not, that is more effective on a side hammer bot then 2 iron spikes. and if you dont have enough weight then, you MIGHT have to rebuild the chassis or just take some weapons off the hammers.
:D Armadillo! Hope you'll stay awhile!*is trying to*
Check out Clickbeetle's Drumblebee series to see how a drum can be put together really well.If I remember correctly, thats where the idea to use the clubs came from. But I should double check them anyway.
Your robots are funny :)If the bot is really packed and has left over weight, I usually just stick random things on it.
Usually, razors work a lot better as weapons on a drum than clubs do.When ever I tried using razors, they never actually worked for me. The other bots would just be balancing on the disks instead of actually taking damage.
uh...make chassis smaller, put 2 zteks as weapons motors with razors and uh..use shinnies?......Why would I downgrade my 2 HP Z-Teks to just regular Z-Teks?
and what exactly are the side spikes for? i get that the back spikes are for stability, but the sides?
For how to do the razor setup, see Drumblebee on RA2 Wiki.I see how it was put together, I'm just iffy about the semi-exposed disks
instead of a ram plate, put a plow and make the wedge longer..A Snowplow could work.
instead of a ram plate, put a plow and make the wedge longer..A Snowplow could work.
And why make the wedge longer?
It gets under other robots pretty well.
longer wedge= BETTER chance of getting under bots. bots with 2 wedges outwedge bots with 1 short wedge. to make up for that 1 wedge, just make it a little longer. but its up to youI'm not sure if I hit the 7 connection limit, but I guess I could try adding another wedge
If you got the extender work right, you could probably add another HPZ to that.Each Bluebird already has 2 HPs mounted on it.
Dude, it's a servo, not a bluebird :)*needs to note that, as I always forget*
Aww... it's cute :3Yea, I was thinking about adding another wedge on there, provided, I mange to do that.
But yeah, a longer wedge (or better yet, 2 wedges) helps.

In the meantime, another bot to add to this "collection":
(http://i37.tinypic.com/2wekoki.png)
I wanted to try and make a robot using this style, but I think I'm doing it wrong.
You could just show us the whole bot, and multiple angles. Taking off parts makes it hard to tell what the bot looks like.Hows this:
what kind of bot is this supposed to be..i dont get itIf I remember correctly, Starcore had something similar to this.
Yes! Much better. please do that from now on.*Will be sure to*
Kill the ballasts and maybe put a pink in, just so the power will guarantee to last the whole match.The single ballast was somewhat of a random filler.

Though if this design is just too much of a disaster, I'll just scrap the idea.
Since for the most part, I was somewhat messing around with a weird frame.
facepalmI'll take that as a yes.
if your going to make a bot like that atleast shrink the chassis, put the weapon motors on anchors and put 8 spikes on each disk, add ramplate for wheel protection, not wedges. and yeah.... use shinnies for the front wheels not rubbers since you dont have a wedge...which you might want to include in that designNah, I'm not going to continue my latest one.
Yea looks like the discs dont have much reach.Thats what I was wondering.
using Plastic amour.It already has plastic, yo.
F** YEAH SMORG.......I just noticed this, my copy of RA2 lacks a Seaking decal
is 090901 still making his AI pack? maybe you could make a Smorg team and send it to him for it.That would be interesting/convenient.
Your creative and I like your building style. The only thing that I might suggest is that to pull the motor back, and move the wedges forward because I don't see that getting under any robots. Yet it might work for you because I don't play stock and I wouldn't know.Its a Beetle-weight. It cant exceed 175.
You could save a ton of weight if you stopped using so many angle connectors.
Yeah, just use the sides of round extenders.I have a fetish for using angle connectors. I have no idea why.
The BW is messy, you don't need wedges (especially 2) in fact.Its funny, because I had just finished re-building it from the ground up:
I was wondering how you got the drive motors there.eFFe glitch + some patients to end up re-building that whole idea a few times
Thought, probably use a snapperII instead of a green snap, and your weapon aren't going to be that great when it's inverted.*needs to get around to downloaded the AI parts again*
Wow. Contrary to popular belief, that thing looks awesome.Because I have a fetish for using Snapper 2s.
Blacks. ;)I couldn't find room >___>
Also, you could attach the razors at an upwards angle a bit further back, to make it a wammer/flipper hybrid, a bit like CRITICAL EMERGENCY in the DSL pack.So I work them to where they are like the sword-blades, except I use razors. Sure.
Also, I'm really not certin you need the 30-or so kg to snapper load the drive motors on like that. Make the chassis a normal wedge box and attach them like that, you'll save...I'm guessing somewhere in the region of 20 or so kg with normally attached drive as opposed to snapper loading. Plus people can't knock them off if they get round the back of you. =]I originally thought I was going to run out of room. That's why I used the Snapper 2.
Ya Don't need the T Connector at the backYes, we all know this. I need to re-build it slightly.
The ramplate would be better if it was a rack of weaponsEhhh... I wanted this to be more of a generic-flipper, really...
and use shiniesBut I like those gray tires D:

By "Generic Flipper", I ment that I wanted the bot to be more along the lines of something that would throw things, in this case, a popup(I guess?)The ramplate would be better if it was a rack of weapons,
Lrn2build popups?Ehhh... I wanted this to be more of a generic-flipper, really...
Yes, he did say that. Flipper is an incorrect term as this robot has weapons, making it a popup. And no, you don't want a rack of weapons on a popup, OR a generic flipper.
Take out the pinks and stack a second black into the first one.I was never good at stacking blacks. But ehh...
Use Rubber wheels for popups, usually cause they have a lower ground clearance and dont "slip" as much as grannies or shinies do......Sure.
I don't like the rack of weapons, but if that's the hybrid you're going for then whatever. Is it effective?As stated earlier, its apparently supposed to be similar to DSL EMERGENCY.
792.0 could actually be 792.05, meaning the bot would weigh 800.05CURSE YOU LOGIC!!1one
Ya don't really need that pink, anyway. A lot of chassis space reduction could be done here as well, and your wedges are a bit short.The chassis is as flat as its going to get. And you only really see all that empty space because of the angle I took the image. The wedges aren't that short btw..
I AM HEAVY WEAPONS SMORG, AND THIS... IS MY NEW WEAPON............

OKLooks great. Put him in Starcore or BBEANS AI now.I'm not downloaded the Starcore AI. Not just yet.
I want to test a few things first and finish my Smorg team.
(By "finish", I mean make a SHW and make any last minute adjustments)
Badnik wants J to stop referring to himself in the third person. XPNah, I only really wanted the Starpiece to make complete teams that include SHWs.
Anyway, it's nice that you're returning to your roots as a custom-part user. (At least what I've seen on the archive)
Looks awesome. Once I did something like that with Smartzones and CO2 Tanks, I put them all the way at the top of the maxsphere, so if the robot tipped over, it would keep him up. ;)It looks awesome because I wanted it to look like some weird tank-thing.
Apparently you guys did not noticed the weight... SHW is between 800.1 and 1200.0 kgs !Thats why I have to build another.
Make it 2WD, remove all the extender mess on the top of the bot, and spam irons on HPZs.I'm not re-building my trainbot, I'm actually going to start from scratch.
That is the second most epic thing you've ever made. (after Gannon)Gannon was a ridiculous robot before I had Click's pack.
<3After the first "test shot", I just burst into laughter.
XDXDIn addition to making stock, I occasionally will mess around with the Click pack.
I really love your style, you keep a nice balance between lulzy bots and real bots.
External air tanks ? Did you GMF edited these ? :OI admit that I'm a noob for using the Mega Adapter.

I'm putting my joke team aside and being serious again.
Because I'm pretty sure if I made a McRoll-Bot(RAN RUUU!!), my game would explode.
And again, my Snapper 2 fetish is hilarious.
(the 2 HPZs are held on with a round extender and 2 T connectors)
So this is what I'm working with right now:
http://i54.tinypic.com/zwjc3r.png (http://i54.tinypic.com/zwjc3r.png)
The chassis is as low as its going to get, and the empty space in the back is just wide enough to fit a sideways Snapper 2 in it.
And I'm not sure what to put in there/on the ramining DDTs.
Oh, and in the back there with the Snapper2s is 1 black battery and like 3-4 pink batteries.
Someone suggest some kind of weapon for me to add to this, and I'll experiment with that idea.
- The wedge needs to be more slanted.I think I can stretch the chassis out another inch and swap the pinks with blackvolts.
- Use two or three Supervolts instead of all those purples.
- Put more razors on the DDT's and less on the Snappers.
Then it should be a pretty decent popup.
Underweight. I've never actually built a trinity bot...Yea, I know its underweight.
It's a very fun build.
Exactly. It spins all over the place.It's a very fun build.
Especially when the weapons get stuck into the walls :P
20cm round extenders would be better than T connectors......Somehow I missed that.
Looks like the one on the right would have some pretty crappy turning.Its turning capabilitys are actually pretty good :O
Not enough weapons on either bot.
That DDT + Fail middle wedge should go.I happen to like the EMERGENCY Wedges.
I happen to like the EMERGENCY Wedges.
I know that there's no real difference in which wedge I use, its more of a personal preference. So hush.I happen to like the EMERGENCY Wedges.
I'd be more suprised if you didn't, being Armadillo and all.
You are currently pulling on the moustache of the mighty god of havok.Like a boss.
And also are the most random builder of GTM. Ever.The bot isn't exactly build the way in the above post, as all of it fits neatly into the chassis via just rotating the Snapper's starting point.
Yay! The stock section isn't dead! Can I see the insides of the HW?I'll be honest, I was lazy with the HW.
I AM SINISTAR, AND I HUNGER.RUN, COWARD!
Can we get a better pic of the SHW?Be Patient.
AND MAGIKARP FTW
See ianh's showcase for a better idea about chassis setup.Ian can stack better then I can >___>
Also 8kg underweight = add razor......I was under the impression antweights were lightner then 120.
Limit is 125Yea, I was going through Ianh's showcase, and effectivly all of his bots use that same: "Derp, ima badass AW chassis" template.
Chassis like this maybe?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51402Can%20opener%202%20insides.jpg)
Lose a few pixels off the front wedge. =DIf I did that, RA2 would magicly bump the pink batteries weight up to 9.
You just need to lighten the extender work.Nah.
LOL......I wonder if I can make a Pikachu.
You are officially the funniest builder on GTM.
I made a seaking but it's eyes were too smallWheels, Laser lenses, extenders, or just plain eyeball parts.
wat. XDTHE LENSES FREAKIN' LIGHT UP.
J received +2 Humour Points.
That sounds hilarious.*Tempted to include laser eyes*
And J, I know this is off-topic, but do you wanna enter my GTM nascar tourney?Is this that online game thing? O,o
And J, I know this is off-topic, but do you wanna enter my GTM nascar tourney?
It has more weapons than a real magikarp does!It used to be able to do a splash attack.
You're actually becoming loads better, J. Good job.
HP Zteks as weapon motors are a must however. Considering you have over 50KG'S spare, put DSA on there or, if you allready have DSA, add more weapons.HP motors scrape agenst the floor, and raise the weapon up. Thats why its a regular Z-Tek.

Reier winsSo a win image <3
I was lazy with the head.
That is impressive. XDIts such a hilarious build.
<3I know right <3
Yea, I know.. I left off like 1 or 2 round extenders.I was lazy with the head.
Also with the feet... but it has the potential for pure awesome if skinned properly
That is so cool!Its lulz
Not very combat effective though i'm guessing :laughingIts slow, but has a laser gun that aims at the ground.
So yea, the bot has some nice drive speed, but its spinning abilitys are just slow ._.
(Seriously, I think the weapon is too heavy)
But all the cool kids have wheels like that, and they always work :OSo yea, the bot has some nice drive speed, but its spinning abilitys are just slow ._.
(Seriously, I think the weapon is too heavy)
More like the turning radius is too small. Put the wheels further apart and you should see an improvement in turning speed.
Also, you can NEVER overdo it with iron spikes. It's impossible to have too many... unless you have a popup or a hammer.Yea, that's true.
Oh, and you can get by with a Nifty for power since you're not using those Snappers except for stacking. And with some clever extender work you could easily get by with just one Snapper, or better yet a Snapper II.I'm terrible with Snapper IIs. Not sure why, but I prefer the original snapper.

The cool kids all have wheels stacked like that... but they are usually wider. Your wheels are so narrow the Z-teks occupy the horizontal space of one.
Of course you don't want the wheels TOO wide or else they will get hit easily. You have to find the sweet spot.

And MissingNo knows Sky Attack, too. :PYes but with 2 copies of Water Gun, the 'chose a move at random' mechanic is more likely to pick a Water Gun over Sky Attack.
I honestly don't understand why people find you funny. The texture on that is far too blurred to resemble Missingno., the blood splatters are pointless, and why do you have to resort to making comedy bots instead of actual ones?MissingNo is an actual serious bot.
Besides, if you're good at making comedy bots, why stop?Its funny that I got a lot better at making them since the old RA2 forums.
It's not like a lot of people are gonna bite back.Lets see Fotep make a Pikabot with cheek-lasers.
123 doesn't build concussion-heavy bots because he knows he's not specialized there.*Assuming 123 is Sparky*
Wasting your talent because other people told you to is just utter BS.I admit, the texture I used was a bit lazily made.

Mostly because people have made robots like that in the past, and they always seem fun to make.
Why I modeled it after MissingNo, is beyond me.
And yea, the blood is kinda' pointless, as people never "die" in Pokemon.
Also, I have always been one for joke-bots.

Yeah, a controlled havoker.Oxymoron
Ditto would be hard though.Nah. Seeing as Ditto can be anything, I should just copy EMERGENCY, make it 'better', and then make it solid pink and put Ditto's face on it.

.....Just for laughs?
You know, if some people wanted to do a pokemon AI pack, i'd gladly help :laughingOh the irony of each team having 6 bots on it.
Plus another five for the Elite Four and the Champion. =]Would the team icons just be the gym badges?
I guess that's one way to make a Ditto bot... just take an existing bot and skin it pink with a Ditto face.Pretty much.
Also, Abra = Nasty Pickle.Pretty much.
Edit: Missingno would be better if you put the rear Z-tek externally on a baseplate anchor, as it would leave less exposed chassis. It also only needs a Nifty for power. With the extra weight from doing those you could upgrade to HP's or add more weapons or bigger discs. But it is quite a good start. And LOL at the infinite Emergencys.Actually, that 'rear Z-tek' is actually a frontal one, as the chassis shape uses the same shape as MissingNo. Meaning its a reverse L.

How did you attach the ballast there?BFE I'm Guessing. It's still a cool bot though.

That is friggin cool (that and Ditto)IMO, it would be cool if GTM made it own Pokemon set.
I agree with the pokemon mod. If you can make all 600+ of the pokemon that are around now you will most likely be worshipped.
Yep. "That's it! You're now a Lego wizard." I always wondered what that meant.Everyone who has the pack wonders what that is supposed to mean.
The grape crate is probably the weirdest.The fb component I forget the name of.

Make a standard hammer and avoid wobbliness by putting static drive motors and static hammer bursts.But it hardly ever wobbles.
Show it with the snappers folded in. It's more important than seeing it with them folded out.It looks like a mess when its folded up:
For some reason your building style reminds me of Venko's. o_OWouldn't be surprised.
Nice snapper setup.Its funny that the "jaws" are the exact size of EMERGENCY.
Oh, and eat up the weight with an additional 2WD.Ehh... I'll go back and fine tune everyone when I'm finished with this current team.

AAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
Pretty much an above-stock level HS. You could have 2 HSes and a plow on a single Snapper2 if you're patient enough. :PLook, the high-speed weapon hax is already a pain to drive this thing as it is. Sure adding more weapons would add to the crazyness, but I dont want the thing to kill itself apon running into something >___>
1 too many razors :O*Facepalm*
1 too many razors :O*Facepalm*
How could I forget that Wizer had a tribar with only 2 razors on it? >__>
Original Whizzer:1 too many razors :O*Facepalm*
How could I forget that Wizer had a tribar with only 2 razors on it? >__>
How could you forget that Whizzer has a double z and a h in it?
[Image]No, I mean the original cant possibly have HPs in it.
Your Whizzer clone can be made better if you tilt the upper motors towards the front. A notch or two will do.When I get time, I'll be sure to do that.
Downward Pokers are fun, now try a MW one.Not exactly sure how a MW downward poker would work.
I lol'd but come on, you can atleat put 4 razorz on each disk with the weight left over.....Yea thats true.
MOAR RAZORS!!!!1
MOAR RAZORS!!!!1
Yet again, another highly constructive post.
I would put some more razors on, but I would add a couple more ramplates on the front.Ehh.. I think 2 is fine.
This is an 11/10 topic. You usually expect it.MOAR RAZORS!!!!1
Yet again, another highly constructive post.
Actually, he could put a few more razors on. Minimize chassis space, too.It was already mentioned that I could put more razors on it.

But 1 Iron is pretty much the same as 2 Razors.MOAR RAZORS!!!!1
Yet again, another highly constructive post.

Maybe he wants irons ? Irons are technically better than razors, you know.
I think I would add two more ramplates on the front to start with. HS's tend to hit the sides of the bot more often, and the chassis's just too big to have adequate protection from two ramplates on their own.I'm not exactly sure how I would place more ramplates on the front, but ehh... I'll try to think of something.
Well its strange and lulzy, and that's what J is known for. So good for him.Because I have a fetish for making things that are different from the norm.
Co sidering the only thing that can get to the chassis directly is Mome Rath, Its darn tricky to kill. But exposed extenders = omnomnomnomYea, I'm thinking about re-arraning the Snappers in Trash Compactor, so I can (hopefully) fit more ram plates on him.
yay a cheese clone!Not really a direct clone, but I did get the idea off of what you guise made.
For some reason the side ramplate setup won me over. XDIt works, yo.
WHY PINKS WHEN YOU KNOW THEY ARE BADYea.. I'm going to switch to one of those reds.
so much empty spaceI cant stack to save my life. And even if I did shrink the chassis, which I can, I have no idea what to do with that weight.
Do you mean everything is symmetrical?MUST.... RESIST.... CHEESY.... COMEBACK......
yayyy its pretty good now!
yayyy its pretty good now!The only thing that "kills" it, is freakin' King of the Hill mode.
the bot looks good J! Now build something crazy :evilsmile:But its pretty hard to top a cheese with wheels >__>
I really don't have the patients for that.
Either I clicked the wrong thing with the spellcheck, or you find it funny that I cant stack parts.I really don't have the patients for that.
lololol
Don't you have a better AI pack than stock?I had tried installing Starcore before, and everything got a little crazy.
needs moar driveSo:
I'm kidding but which way do the razors go? Do they flip like chaos 2 or like firestorm?They flip up.
I think it is a rear hinged popup.rear hinged?
Yes, a true popup.Sure, lets go with that.
Make the flat side of the razors face up, more of the razor will hit the opponent which means more damage."Flat side"? But razors have a Y shape.
There is no hit-box. You're thinking of collision mesh.I'm used to referring to them as hit-boxes ;-;
Attempt to put the anchor next to the chassis "wall", hence saving 2 kg and enabling you to use a HPZ.I tried that a few times, but I could never succeed at doing so.
the wedge is so steepThe chassis wedge?
Needs razorz........But aren't Irons supposedly "better"?
You gonna send any other HW's for the tourney J?I honestly have no idea.
You gonna send any other HW's for the tourney J?Are you going to stop posting in showcases just so you can get bots?
Yes, I would agree. It can become quite annoying.You gonna send any other HW's for the tourney J?Are you going to stop posting in showcases just so you can get bots?
AW - Find another weapon. Chewblades suck.YesYou should move the ramplates down on lava ractor.
BW - Looks good.Yes
LW - Hmm. Maybe get more razors, if possible. Downgrade to Regular Z-teks to get more razors if you have to.He doesn't have too.
MW - Make the chassis smaller, try to protect the wedges, and how many razors are on there?No, just no.
HW- Looks good, could do with an internal shot of it. Yes
SHW - The tail on that's unessescary, stack the blacks, make it smaller, more generic advice, bah, humbug, your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries.Yes, it can be smaller.
FOTEPX, The tail kind of is necessary so it doesn't get tipped on its back by a popup or something.You really think that would happen?

AW - Find another weapon. Chewblades suck. Apparently it uses meme powers, so I'[m leaving it as-is
BW - Looks good. Moo.
LW - Hmm. Maybe get more razors, if possible. Downgrade to Regular Z-teks to get more razors if you have to. Even if I downgrade the HPs, I dont be able to add more razors, so it stays as is.
MW - Make the chassis smaller, try to protect the wedges, and how many razors are on there? But we already went over the MW, and apparently came to the conclusion it was fine O,o
HW- Looks good, could do with an internal shot of it. I posted all of these, except the AW, in previous pages.
SHW - The tail on that's unessescary, stack the blacks, make it smaller, more generic advice It wouldnt be much of a fire storm if it were microscopic, yo

+1 Rep.
I don't remember Rampage... do you mean the Rhino guy? Because that was Rhynox :3No, this (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rampage_%28BW%29) was Rampage

It might do decent damage, but it's gonna have a mighty hard time KOing the opponent.Yea, it does >__>
The saws do decent damage?It does like constant 5s to 32s.
Also the SHW should have saws on pistons (so like a piston then the motor then the saw) :PI'm going to name the SHW 'Walker Texas Spinner'.

I thought I was being different by liking Waspinator :OYou would be surprised at how popular Wasp really is.

on the topic: can't wait to see more of the SFTW team.I'm somewhat busy, so it might be a while.
quite the known one too.ITS BECAUSE OF THAT MATH-CLASS MOVIE.
and how can it take long to build SFTW's? they are supposed to fail.I did, in fact, say I was going to attempt to make them "good".
DDT?Close. I used that infinity piston in order to move all the crates out, as I would add them on. Then I just retracted the servos and all of them were in place.
:trollface
Pretty messy. Needs more drive too,
No need for the ramplates.
Pretty messy. Trade the ram plates for more drive.
Also try to get a third Supervolt. Then it will be quite good.....Not sure why it would need 3 blacks, when the 2 it has now already supplys plenty of power O,o
Well 4 DDTs = 500 x 4 = 2000 power, plus 4 HPZs = 2400 power. 1 Supervolt supplies 800 power so 3 would give exactly what you need, 2400. 2 will work for the first minute or so in a pinch, though.Ehhh, I was going to try and fit a few pinks in it, but then everyone would be all: "OMG PINKS!!!" Add to it, I tried removing a black and seeing if one of those reds(I can never remember its name half the time) would fit, and appearently the chassis would need to be 1 inch taller. And I REALLY was getting tired of re-building that chassis. No really, the V1 I posted took at least 20-ish trys before I got the chassis the way I wanted it.
The new version looks quite good even with only 2 batteries.
Your bot are awesome, they might not be as hardcore pwnage as other folks', but they have a certain charm to them. It reminds me of the old days.Really, did I ever take this game seriously ;)
Just had a thought...when the next BBEANS comes around, how about making a bot themed to another one of the classic Robot Masters? I mean, you did already do one themed to Cut Man (epic win on that, by the way), so why not? :PIf I ever did that, I would re-build Cutman.
Crash Man is just begging to be done.Explain how you could make Crashman, without using cheatparts.
MW with Saws on burst motors/pistonsCrashman has drills.
I would move the ramplates to the front so HS can't chew it up that fastYea.... I'll probably do that later.
You are correct, that is totally not a reskinned Dinosaur Patrol.*Takes off sunglasses*
This one has a better skin anyway, and it looks more protected.Funny how my collection of pre-existing textures/skins/edges ends up doing a better job then something I made for 1 specific robot.
It's nice to see you like the idea. Although, I do have some potential ideas for bots on a Mega Man themed team-Just had a thought...when the next BBEANS comes around, how about making a bot themed to another one of the classic Robot Masters?

Oh, and Gutsman would be the SHW of the team. So his ass could crush everything.
(Yes, he would be a rammer. much like Firestorm)

Metal Man: Sawbot

Fire Man/Heat Man: Flamethrower
Cut Man: Side Hammer, Undercutter
Wily Machine J: UHW
You should remake Mini Cutman :PI have a feeling Mini Cutman became a meme, like Spinner from the West, while I was gone.
Guts Man could be a Beta Flipper, something like Epic Flying is Epic, Redstone Watch or Ultra Bulldozer from Clash of the Titans.DANG IT GTM! Gutsman is going to be a giant blocky SHW:
RA Reincarnated.Explain.
Fireman V2 preforms a lot better, mostly because it was a total re-build:Looks good so far.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41288Fireman2.png)
And for the record, I want to try and use as little cheat-parts as possible.
.....Then again, you cant make a Fireman robot without actually having it shoot fire.
So, yea..

Looks good, but use rubbers instead of grannies, use razors instead of irons, and try to get a DDT wedge on thereGrannies could work. I usually use rubber wheels mostly because they are tall enough to offer invertability.
I like your bots though J, just cause they make me laugh (not in a bad way) XDApparently I'm good at that xD
(That means stuff like the cake bot thingy)
Blue snapper wedges generally aren't very goodWell, in a way.... Yea.
Well, for one thing it needs a wedge. You can probably fit a Snapper 2 in between the baseplate anchor and the batteries.Actually the above posted robot is a sort of work in progress thing.
For two things it should have a weapon rack in front instead of a plow, because side hammers struggle with having enough weapons and it's important to armor the front.Load the front full of spikes. I'll be sure to remember that.
For three things there should be some razors on the DDTs.I originally had a bunch of razors on the side DDTs, but the DDT on the Snapper was 'sagging' to the floor.
And for four things, you could make full use of those Snapper II's and put the drive on the other attach point and then shrink the chassis.Again, this design is still a prototype.
but not the same for the bot itself.
Yeah, needs moar weapons. Looks kewl though.But the boxing gloves are essential to the design.
F***YEAH CAPTAIN FALCONThis.
It's really not bad! Just sucky weapons and empty space. Nice drive setup and all that-Boxing Gloves
YOU NEED PUMPKIN HILL AND FLYING BATTERY. NOW.That was fast.
Alright, you know what?
Ima do something different, THEN start on the robot master idea.
So, by "different", I mean I'm making a team of everything being the same weight-class, but no 2 of the robots can use the same weapon style:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37181HWSpace.png)
(+Rep to anyone who figures out the "pattern" here, by the way. The team name is unrelated to it.)
I'm going to try and avoid using hybrids, as that will just drive me crazy.
And if I manage to run out of ideas, I'll make 1 of the HWs be a saw-bot, just for laughs.
Flying Battery wouldn't ruin it, and YOU ALSO NEED DEATH EGG AND DOOMSDAY ZONEFlying battery isnt space-y enough D:
Seems related to Sonic:? PFOTEP already mentioned what I was getting at on the last page.
I'm gonna say a LEGO/Sonic crossoverNo, its more Sonic rather then Lego.
interesting idea maybe you can weave in some extra weight classes like a featherweight or light heavyweight to get some more teams.Ian.. to be honest... I have no idea how I could make a featherweight in stock.
Ian.. to be honest... I have no idea how I could make a featherweight in stock.
well.... unless I try to BS the whole thing and use the mega adapter.
That extender work is VERY messy indeed.I did note that I got inspiration from Pwnator's Wide Load re-make. So that might explain it.
Castor armour isn't very usefull way back there anyway.On an odd chance, the front would tip over.
Castor armour isn't very usefull way back there anyway.
I'll probably end up putting ramplates on the side stabilizers, as those would seem to cover most of them up.Castor armour isn't very usefull way back there anyway.
'Isn't very useful', my ass. A well-armored popup can OHKO that easily. :P
Regarding the free weight, you have to strengthen the side stabilizers. That's one my drum's weaknesses.
Add 2 more ram plates.Where? O,o
On the side stabilizers. If not, add more weapons instead (to the side stabilizers).Oh how I hate the 7 part limit ;-;
Oh.Yea I MIGHT end up having to use an angel connector or 2, in order to get the plow on the side.
If you're too lazy to get around the rule of 7, just add another plow (roughly on the same place) and some more casters. :P
Cosmic Wall? Was that named after the level in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, I wonder? :PTechnically, that "secret" was already discovered.
Sounds good. Although it might be an idea to give the name "Mad Space" to a SHW- it was easily the most frustrating Space stage for me =/Cosmic Wall? Was that named after the level in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, I wonder? :PTechnically, that "secret" was already discovered.
My Heavyweight Space team (which, of course, consists of all Heavyweights) has bots that are named after space-related stages from the Sonic Games.
So far, the team has Crazy Gradget, Cosmic Wall, and Meteor Herd. Mad Space might be the next one, provided, I decide on a bot type for it.

Hey, Armadillo. Long time no see.Nice to see that Inf is back.
At least you've become a little more serious about your building :P But you're still the same good 'ol Army I rememberI've been building towards the weight limit. Shocking, I know.
What's the point of the back extender? :PEhhh... just to use up weight? O,o

get rid of all the lower razors, they look like they hardly reach other bots.. that weight ould be used to get a decent wedge.
-Saws don't need to spin to do damage--you can also use axle mounts effectively if you're short on weight. ;)I have to note this.
By my definition, a saw bot is just any bot that uses saws as weapons.More or less I'm either reviving the SFTW-Team idea, or trying to make an actual "good" Saw-bot that could potentially be mentioned on the RA2 wiki.
Proof: If you replaced the saws on that prototype bot with discs and razors, it would be a VS, not a sawbot. The saws are what make it a sawbot, not any design feature.
More or less I'm either reviving the SFTW-Team idea, or trying to make an actual "good" Saw-bot that could potentially be mentioned on the RA2 wiki.
Seriously, the RA2 Wiki wont seem "cool" if we have a "useless" bot-type.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
It's not THAT bad. :P
Just give it 4WD and upgrade the weapons with the free weight.
Also, from what I hear, DDTs make the bast wedges, so you could like upgrade the wedges to DDT motors with that extra weight.BOTH OF THESE SUGGESTIONS FORCE A RE-BUILD.
Also, almost all of the Grinders I've ever seen have always had 2WD >___>
You're getting there. Just rotate the ramplates by 90 degrees and it's already much more protected.Its supposed to be more of a ramp, but sure.
Wouldn't it just be easier to have 2 iron spike clad arms on each disc to help with balance? You have the weight to play around with.But then it becomes an HS :/
Needs a supervoltSo.. no ramplate then?
if you rotated the black and brought the wedge back, you could probably get some anchors with extenders sticking out the sides.Not sure why it would need side extenders, but ehh....
SLAUGHTER IT LIKE A DOG
I still don't like the fragility of it. If you put the drive motors on individual baseplate anchors (might take some trial and error to get the stack right), I think it'd be slightly more durable.I might end up having to re-build the whole chassis.

No, we have tons of different versions each with a different AI pack :PSo of the available downloadable ones, aside from Starcore V3(As I don't have an appropriate unzipper for that), which AI pack would say is the "hardest"?

Interesting concept.The original idea, yea.
Looks like it could be flanked very easily.It does :/
I don't think the ramplates are doing too much either, I'd have them either to the sides of the spike strips, or replace them with more irons.I MIGHT cut back on 1 DDT and just double up on the others, as it would hopefully get me some room to fit another Snapper in there, and then have room for better wedges.
AGOD, I'm guessing.AGOD is.... ?
Your setups... they scare me.Oh they scare everyone.
Axle Glitch Of Death. Basically, when a component's Display Mesh and Collision Mesh don't line up. It affects absolutely everyone and there's no clear way round it. You could try reattaching the extender, but I doubt that'll clear it up completely.AGOD, I'm guessing.AGOD is.... ?

Please never change, 'dilloThis is why I try to be clever when it comes to bot-creation.
You've had this same style as long as I can remember, and every time you post something like that it just brings me back.Except this time around, my bots arent as terrible, and are a little more serious.
Makes me want to change your name on here to what it used to be.To be honest, I prefer my username this way.
I figured as much that you prefer it that way. I had half a mind to change my own name a little while ago, but you can't rewrite history IMO. You'll always be Armadillo to meI will always be Armadillo.

Dear god that's one of the best bots I've ever seen, looks-wise.Yea... but the Trekies won the BOTM.

It's teh awesomesauce
Needs 4WD HPZ...........
That does look awesome. Maybe you should use maces instead of irons on the inside hammers, though.Slight update:
put on a few castors and you'll be set.It actually has castors.
Nah, as in Castor Armour.put on a few castors and you'll be set.It actually has castors.
Well... two really. The front was a little heavy.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11493JawsofLife2.png)
Ramplates wont work. I forgot to mention this, but because the DDTs are mounted on Snappers, they tend to "bounce" and occasionally pop out from behind the ramplate. So a snowplow might work better.Try mounting the Snapper2 on its side rather than its back. The plane of rotation won't conflict with the bot's plane of normal movement, so they shouldn't wobble quite so much. Then you'd be able to stick two ramplates on the front. =]
I have like some weird in-ability to make side-hammers:

It's not just you. I can't either :/
Also, try to use Shinies if you can.Rubbers are better for this
Also, try to use Shinies if you can.
Does that mean pop-ups can be realistic?Yea, but lighter bots are going to be harder to make >__>
...damn
We need more realistic stock bots.*Plans to make an HS next*
And the weaponry looks a little bit slapdash for me, in all honesty.Yea, it does. And razors would almost always end up touching eachother.
On the MW, rotate the wedges snappers 180 degrees. This will give your wedges a wider stance allowing it to get under things more easily.You know, the MW could actually go with having just 1 black, as I could then (hopefully) fit the DDT inside.
Felt like re-working the MW:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59741RealisticGuy3.png)
very intersting design!Whats funny, is that I based its drive off one of your bots, Sage:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75589screenshot_4.png)
If you're gonna use the plow and irons, perhaps you should turn it into a wammer of sorts.How so?
Well, Irons are more durable than razors for wamming. You could just have them angled upwards to stop opponents driving over the top, and not have the weapon motors fire.Yea, I could just angle the Irons with the DDTs, as a possibility.
I was lurking around the RA2 wiki last night, and...Just replace them with irons.
Pretty much the next day I felt like "re-building" that old BBeans bot of mine:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23473HWCutman.png)
Too bad blades do 0 damage :/
Which way are they spinning?They spin outward, as the thick end is supposedly the end that doesnt damage.
You could get another pair of wheels on that. And you should AI the motors to spin inwards instead.If I did all the "fixes" that everyone suggested, RoC would pretty much become:
Just looking at this showcase reminds me of the Armadillo days...and trust me...the current state/quality of your bots are more than satisfactory compared to what you used to try and build on the old forums...good ol' days...My old robots were flat-out terrible, with the exception of like 1 or 2.

I think Kill still has Ancient Clock, but that might be stretching it.
But I love the new J. RA2 is as strong as its ever been!That might be exaggerating TBH.
Probably should reverse the weapons to get more of a grinding style.But then it wouldn't be much of an HS :/
I think the chassis can be shrunk a little bit, and the weaponry should spin in the other direction. Then you'd get grinding on the sides of opponents, and you could add some defense on the front end.I should just remove the DDT, as half the time it does absolutely nothing.
It's not difficult to be original and make totally average fighters...Despite the fact I was a little sarcastic.
I approve. :gawe:The hilarity is it was somewhat inspired by your avatar.
You got your funny back!Wait, what?
Alright, ima be random for a minute:Nice one

Gaston's wedges are pretty much on par with that of Waterbug, but ehh....
The splash is not a lie. The inside literally is a crazy-ass Snapper setup.
Nice oneLe insides:
Inside shot plz
That's not a truly crazy snapper loaded setup, I'm afraid.Nice oneLe insides:

Splash didn't lie. The insides are a crazy-ass setup.
Though now that I think about it, I could maybe move those DDTs forward a bit to give it more of a reach.
Its crazy because of how tedious it was to get the wedges to align correctly, and not have the whole thing bounce all over the place.That's not a truly crazy snapper loaded setup, I'm afraid.Nice oneLe insides:

Wait; I didn't see the wedges.Its crazy because of how tedious it was to get the wedges to align correctly, and not have the whole thing bounce all over the place.That's not a truly crazy snapper loaded setup, I'm afraid.Nice oneLe insides:

...You must hate going around stock showcases these days ;)
...Sage, your so funny.

.....I blame Badnik.
then again, his doesn't have rocket powered fists.
Did you use the infinite piston ?Why yes, yes I did.

FALCON PUNCH.Look, its bad enough that it basically has the same chassis as Boxer.
Invertiblize for 33% more awesome.
This robot makes me chuckle. It's awesome.That was the point :3
but yours is pure win :D(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81322NesbittRobot2.png)
Does yours have "I reconsidered" on the bottom like mine does though?"Giant Sexy Robot" is a lot funnier TBH
It should have "Reconsider this" on it though lol
CHEAT ARMOR D:Its not the armor thats the problem. Its the chassis in general:
and you're in the moon? Cool.Would love to use MLP references, but GTM hold a gun to your head unless your in the MLP topic.
But then if you shrink it you won't get the DSS armour... D:1. Find out the value of DSS.
Well, it's original, I'll grant you that. It's probably going to be painfully slow, and somewhat underpowered. And somewhat fragile with that exposed front.The insides are terrible. That's why I'm refusing to post them.
*goes to make T for Thwack and Tyranitar*The letter doesn't always have to also represent a Pokemon.
Hopefully it isn't pony themed.It has a Ponyta on it :trollface
Every time you post a bot you make me laugh. You are officially the funniest builder. xDShame I only get these hilarious ideas every one in a while.
The first thing that actually came to my mind was the 'R' from Team Rocket's shirts. :PIts funny, I was thinking exactly that while I was building this thing.
Why have you not used razors, redbirds, and red batteries on that R-rammer ?....I don't know.
R also stands for rneeds rmoar rweapons.Since you put it that way....
It's a cool concept and it's actually well-executed enough to be a good bot if it was up to weight.
I needs to be about 20% smaller.Just did that:
40cm parallel to the one holding the weapon motors on? I think it looks alright now, you just have to try and find a way of making it invertible.I didn't really design it to be invertible to being with >___>
Stacking two snappers in the same place will be lighter.Actually, looking at the bot again, I think I should re-do the chassis.
I'm sure you know this but razors are better than irons on popups.I was experimenting with the chassis, and Razors just weren't long enough to reach through the chassis.
Also, the chassis needs to be shaped like an F. :PActually, I wasn't doing more letter-themed bots with this one.
And 18 kg won't really give me enough to mess around with :I18kg gives you rubbers and an extra razor
is it strange that air tanks are about as easy to stack as black batts for me ?
Oddly enough J we had the same basic idea, an AW that went over the top of other AW's lol.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95613JPhoenix2.png)
and i think itd be more efficient if you used 2 razors and got rid of that extra red extenderAnchors can only really be placed inside the center of a control board, you cant really place it right on the edge with a control board.
can you raise the anchor up so you dont have to stack it?and i think itd be more efficient if you used 2 razors and got rid of that extra red extenderAnchors can only really be placed inside the center of a control board, you cant really place it right on the edge with a control board.
looks kinda messy....*Sigh* it is....
It really needs to be wider tbh.Then it becomes too generic.
why did you leave 40+ kg free.........YES. I'M USING SLEDGES. ITS SO ORIGINAL.
edit: are you using SLEDGES ?
USE RAZORSwhy did you leave 40+ kg free.........YES. I'M USING SLEDGES. ITS SO ORIGINAL.

Also, as I stated, I'm just going to scrap it.
using a Snapper 2 to attach the drive?Because its my thing, I use Snappers for EVERYTHING
Kenshiro's Fists <3....Maybe I should have included it on my team, for Ian's GTM AI pack O,o
The Good Ol' Boys were hopped up on moonshine, accidently lit Mud Runner on fire, burnt it to the ground and this thing came from the depths of heck that they created.I should totally write this, as a fic.
J is receiving the "Venko's badge of art bots contribution" award for this art bots :laughingVenko, you should have re-joined earlier. Some of my BOTM entries were inspired by things of yours.
Rock em Sock emThat was actually part of the inspiration behind this one.
Infamous Glasses <3Showcasing Glasses cuz' it's movement was too controllable for Venko's tournament.
The whole team is Sage-proof. Awesome.Except I can't think of humorous names for a HW and/or SHW.
J.....I mean...... armadillo (;....... I love your bots, despite their non effectiveness in combat. Always have.Oh, you know I've always valued sillyness over combat efficiency(Unless I actually want something strong)
So.... GTM.... Got any ideas for the last bot on the team?SHW or UHW of course.
I should, maybe, try and copy that brick of yours, Venko, but make it consist of a bunch of Red Extenders.So.... GTM.... Got any ideas for the last bot on the team?SHW or UHW of course.
But is it Venkoproof? Nobody knows accept Venko.And will it blend? Nobody knows.
Do all of these drive poorly ? Because THEY MUST.They sorta' bounce.
I hate you.
So I decided to throw something together:It's a giant "Hit Me" cube! I like it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25983AvatarEditor.png)
Yes, its the only Red Extender-bot with actual wheels.
Reason being; It's already a giant cube, and I wanted it to move fast, just to make it even more fear inducing.
Insides are irrelevant, as the bot is already too silly anyway.
