Hydro, 2 words.

GET OUT

You've done nothing but spam for the past week and need to stop. I think you've posted 100 times in the past 2 days and you are ruining perfectly good threads.

Hydro · « **Reply #82 on:** May 03, 2009, 06:47:32 PM »

yeah, probably.

Its othervise good bot, if you dont count in that it fails against every bot type and likes to lift the wheels off the ground when moving and that the scrimech is not powerful enought to selfright!

Interesting this bot should be compared to Slaying Mantis, because SM does the exact same thing. Minus the failing against every bot type, of course... it only fails if you ram a bot at full speed.

The wheels lift off the ground because of the way driving in RA2 works. When your wheels are touching the ground and you spin them, you aren't actually being moved by the wheels. The game applies force to your bot's chassis in order to move it. So if your chassis is pointing up (as yours and Slaying Mantis's are) the game applies force upwards, and lifts your wheels off the ground.

To fix it you need to do one of two things. Either use lots and lots of forward support, or align the chassis so it stays flat.

The design looks good except for that one problem.

Wouldn't that mean that chassis that are respectively pointing up and down will both be slower and less stable, and have respectively worse/better wedges if they have?

@Scrap: Well counting from Hydro's last post (5 May 6:56) and 2 days before this (3 May 7:01), (both of these might be different for you because i'm GMT +1), Hydro did made 193 posts if i'm not mistaken.

System32 · « **Reply #88 on:** May 05, 2009, 06:11:01 AM »

I'm going to say that Hydro is really getting annoying. He'd better stop posting after every new post, dammit!

Oh, and when you said you'd make a bot that works against the wedged opponents on MSN SSG, I thought you ment a reverse popup or something.

Yeah, thats what I was going to make but I ran out of ideas on it. Mainly bevause I ultimately suckat making popups. I tried making one yesterday, ill get some screens up soon.

God, i need to stop this tyrany. i need to stop spamming. it's hard for me to not spam... i'm a natural-born spammer!

Pwnator · « **Reply #93 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:07:45 AM »

Then ask for a ban. :P

OT: @ the BS (Bottom Spinner. :P) - Is it better if 2 ramplates are removed to add snow plows just in front of the wheels? :D

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #94 on:** May 05, 2009, 09:09:12 AM »

That does it hydro, my head is about to blow up, so you better stop the spam or ACAMS just might give you a BANana.

As for the popup, it seems that I didnt take any pictures of it before scrapping it. But just try to imagine a popup wiht 2 pretty short wedges and ramplate armor and 4WD(the other version i also tried was 2WD with more weapons). as a bonus, it barely got under a WEDGELESS bot!

I dont see that helping much. But what just might work is to somehow get the snowplows further in the front and make the chassis go higher and replace the selfright with DDTs.

no, i think i can handle it. just gotta think before i post. i shall redeem myself :-D

In theory, yes, but only while you're driving forward. That's why my bot Heroic Sacrifice has such good wedges, and when I tried putting wedges on Slaying Mantis V, it didn't work (couldn't even get under a chassis wedge).

Firebeetle made a VS (first new bot in a long time) that takes advantage of this theory once he figured it out. Still needs some finishing tweaks, but it has promise.

I was just building this awesome looking drum bot, but then... then... THIS HAPPENED!!! *rips hair off of his head*

The weight is 789.8. I cant even beging to descibe the time it took to place the snappers like that and it does this as a reward!?

Sage · « **Reply #98 on:** May 16, 2009, 07:12:11 PM »

use that effe pause trick and rebuild it

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #99 on:** May 16, 2009, 07:40:57 PM »

But it happened after I was done building, meaning after I had gone garage and back... Or does it work so that I go into garage with pause on and then get back and then turn pause off?
