Maybe making my own stock showcase was a mistake.
These bots are just... Wow. I'm taken aback...

Can you move the pistons on the poker back? I think pokers are better when they have room to reach full extension, instead of resting right inside the axe rack.

nice bots on the past few pages btw.

No, I cannot. The damn flamethrowers have a stupid collision mesh which makes it impossible to move the flamethrowers in any closer. That and considering the average size of a middleweight, I wouldn't say it matters too much.

Probably, it was tricky for me to attach the anchors to where they had enough space. I could try though.

Also, cheers for the comments guys.  :smile:

Has anyone made a TRFBD in stock?



If you haven't, then well... don't.

Guessing that it's pretty inefficient.

Actually if you put little connectors on the disk to act as miniature feet, you can give it some traction.
Wonky traction, but traction nonetheless.

The problem with TRFBS in stock is that all extenders have 100HP. As in, a single hit to one of those gigantic extenders and your bot is done. You might have a better chance if it was a HW and you put plows over your extenders to protect it.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Not even mainstream. Those discs are the largest wheel I can make because TRFBDs rely on their height to attack.

That doesn't sound too bad to try to make it effective, but then again, I was more-so going for the proof of concept design for innovation and for the fact it was wroth a try. I know it's gonna suck.

It's been invented by madman3. It's a gay design that flails at the top of bots.

Somehow like a crawler hybrided with a full-body vertical spinner.

I believe there is a wiki page about that.

I just checked and there is no dedicated page for TRFBDs; the closest thing is the page for "Full Body Drum."
Follow me on Twitter? I'd like to see you try!

Mechadino should recognize this (or these). 2 blacks, six razors, etc.
Ah yes, I do...  :ouch:

Anyway, I like Torment, because it's rare to see a combat effective bot with cheatbot2 components.

Flamethrowers should be made legal in stock RA2.

There's no reason they shouldn't be allowed : they are not game-breaking at all. Big, unwieldy to use, and not very powerful.
