J's Bots

You can still be original and kick-bot!

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 :/

Mini Cutman is in the BBEANS AI Pack.

Mini Cutman was just random.
I knew he would lose, but it was more for the lulz.

I find that hard for some reason.

That's because Click is AMAZING at RA2.

In an un-related note, seems I figured out how to do custom edges that aren't just a re-color:

It's on the home page. On the left sidebar somewhere under Tools.

On the topic of Prism Breaker, I went with Click's idea:

The frontal spikes make it A LOT more awesome.

Thanks for locating that for me.

Im sure when click mentioned front protection, i dont think he means just 2 irons, im pretty sure he means something like this



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.

Oh so he meant more like a fence sort-of-thing.
Ok, I got it.
But ima leave Prism Breaker as is, and work on something els.
I'm motivated to get an effective drum-weapon bot.

I know I'm late to the party, but

:D Armadillo! Hope you'll stay awhile!

On the topic of Drum-bots, this is what I have so far:

Yes, it has a chair so people can ride it.
Its a lose design, but I plan on re-building the whole thing.
I think a longer chassis might work better, as with the current one, the weapon tends to weigh more then the robot itself.

Check out Clickbeetle's Drumblebee series to see how a drum can be put together really well.

Your robots are funny :)

If I remember correctly, thats where the idea to use the clubs came from. But I should double check them anyway.

If the bot is really packed and has left over weight, I usually just stick random things on it.

So I got around to re-building the drum-bot:

I'm finding this design to be pretty effective, as the robot doesn't fall over itself apon attacking the opponent, unlike the previous version.
It has some decent speed, and the frontal wedges are ideal for this sort of weapon.
*Was looking through Click's showcase a bit*

It has a little bit of empty space(the current view of it makes it seem bigger), but its pretty good as-is.
Thoughts?

Usually, razors work a lot better as weapons on a drum than clubs do.

[Cheese please]

uh...make chassis smaller, put 2 zteks as weapons motors with razors and uh..use shinnies?
and what exactly are the side spikes for? i get that the back spikes are for stability, but the sides?

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.
Though it wouldnt hurt to try that idea again, as I'm pretty sure it has to do with the direction in which the connection cars are facing.

......Why would I downgrade my 2 HP Z-Teks to just regular Z-Teks?
And the side spikes are supposed to be like some form of wheel defense.
But I guess if they are THAT un-needed, I could always remove them.
