Scourge of teh Galaxy's garage! Come see my bots!

I called it Helifapper

They're right, though. You could eat up the free weight by adding more weapons like this:

I'll give that a shot! ^^

@Scourge: The bot shown by Pwn is fairly easy to replicate. It just uses a few anchors and your pretty much good to go.

Indeed its an 'I c wut u did thar' moment.

NEW BOT *shock horror*

Before I show you, I'm going to tell you now - this isn't a serious bot. It was supposed to be serious, until RA2 started glitching it up like crazy. Then I just abandoned all seriousness and tried to mess it up as much as possible. I failed

I called it Glitchatron for... obvious reasons

Here's the standard pics:






and here's some pictures of the funnier glitches:


Okay, just WTH is going on?


Is it... buried in the bot?


This one's showing how far away the chopper is from the Z-Tek

and this is a summary of what happened during the bot's construction

[J]

Of course its going to glitch.
You made a Piston Spinner, mass havok explosions(and lulz) ensue when it hits the arena floor.

HOLY CRAP, SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED.

What you've got there is a Trinity Spinner. If you fire the pistons while the motor's spinning, the motor will spin faster and faster, and the pistons will get further and further out, until you either smash your opponent into small pieces, or become embedded in the wall. Also, if you swapped the Slim wheels for Shinies, and attached the Irons straight to the Baseplate Anchors, you would drop down into the MW category. =D

But if I put shinies on it, I don't think it can move =/

move the z-techs down so that they are on the baseplate and then the shinies will touch the ground and you will have mobility.

They are on the baseplate

Meh, I'll retry tomorrow, see if I can get more glitches into the bargain :D

[Dragonfire]

i mean delete those ones, and when you re-attach them, don't move them up.

[NFX]

If you have an HPZ attached to the baseplate, then Shinies will give you mobility. Even Rubbers will. I think the only wheels that don't move your bot on a baseplate-mounted HPZ are Minis.

Slipperbottom Wheels(those gray ones) then!
They are taller then shinys... except weigh a little bit more.

[The Ounce]

While it is possible to make this a middleweight, I wouldn't recommend it because it wouldn't have much room for weaponry, so instead build it to the 800kg HW limit.

Find a way to lower the spinner, and add more weapons and another set of drive motors (though the last one is optional unless you want to make it a SnS hybrid).  You can also make do without the Nifty.

[Jack Daniels]

Not going to give you serious advice because it is not a serious bot.  :D

Glad to see you building though!  When you first joined the forums I got the impression that you would never really even tinker with RA2 much.

Well, now I've found that I can make it glitch like crazy (though I haven't managed any of the useful glitches yet), I'll be playing around more often :D

Gotta' love piston spinners

[Kujii]

That last bot was pretty funny to see glitching all over the place. I wonder how destructive it is in combat.

I set it off in the Combat Arena and it trounced EMERGENCY to the sum of just over 9000 points, before destroying it

Pretty quickly too, imo

[Kujii]

Wow, thats some amazing firepower for it to pack then.

IMO at least.

[Scourge of teh Galaxy]

Alright guys, new bot!

madman said I should make an MW poker with two pistons, two CO² tanks, and Z-Tek drive.

So I made a HW poker with four pistons, two CO² tanks and HP Z-Tek drive. As only the second poker I've ever made, I hope it's okay ^^' *usually builds SnS or Piston Spinner*

Its name is "Very Underweight Wall of Pain", for... obvious reasons.




But I was just making it for the sake of making it, so :D

[freeziez]

It's not bad.
