Red's Robotic Hall of Lame - Stock Edition

[Sage]

Nice use of the rupt glitch. Looks good!

[infiniteinertia]

Very nice sir

[Badnik96]

Rupt popup? Way cool. Been a while since i saw anyone use the rupt glitch.

[Mr. AS]

probably doesnt rupt. cant stack those blacks?

[RedSawn]

Maybe very minor rupting. It would explain why the force of the flip only occasionally causes the bot to strangely flip over by the front. But it doesn't rupt like we think of it.

[Naryar]

a rupting popup ? it works ?

[infiniteinertia]

It would rupt better with 1-2 razors on each arm rather than 4.

So everyone else is posting their BttR entries...
Can't say much about stock. I guess I like building with the old components as nostalgia, but building competitively (in the sense of Starcore level) sucks. So I won't.



So here it is. Was going to enter the 'true' version but seeing Mystic's entry prompted me to add a wedge for the tourney. It's surprisingly effective at keeping opponents propped up, even if the damage sucks. It'll grind anything down but it requires a ram with the spikes to get CB damage.



And something else, for fun. BFE'd the claws because they can't pass through the chassis. Extenders on the sides to prevent getting stuck on them. Might send it to Heap for his display tourney thing, but will probably rebuild it in RA3 regardless.

Really nice skinning work there.  The bots themselves are sort of meh but the skins make them look totally professional.  Alien is especially cool.

You should be able to build Flying Squirrel without BFE (and without an ugly long extender sticking out) if you rotate the anchors 90 degrees and attach the bear claws on a 20cm extender coming off sideways from them.  It would put you at 400kg but there's plenty of room to shave 1kg off the chassis.  Not sure if the effort of reskinning is worth it though.

[RedSawn]

Oh, certainly. They're not exactly going to be BBEANS entries or anything but all of the work stacking and glitching just tires me now. Probably should take this whole idea to DSL again but working with the old components feels fresh and should be a good warmup for RA3.

The Spike Strip is supposed to be a tail, but I suppose it's not as fitting as as it was for BattleRat and would save the weight needed for extenders. Anchors are packed in tight but yeah, didn't consider that way of adding the claws, will have to check it out.
