EDIT: This also adds to the fact how the sword blades only do damage with the dull side, as its hitbox is backward.

Normals.

For serious, yo

I'm pretty certain you have it backwards.

Anyway, nice idea with the HW VS sparkey (putting the ram plates in front of the discs), but you can do better.

Nope. Those blades actually are backwards.

The collision mesh (closest thing to a "hitbox") for the blade is simply a rectangular prism (normals are what determine which side deals damage). Its been awhile since I made a bot but if I remember correctly, J is correct about the lighter side being the side that delivers damage. I also wouldn't call the normals backwards because IMO its lighter because the graphic artist wanted to make it look like it was angling inward into a point (similar to a table knife).

Can you buys please bring this discussion somewere else?

Save weight and make the bot more durable (at the same time) by using more than one baseplate anchor in the front. By having two anchors pointing out from the sides, you'll be able to mount the frontal support right off the bat. Don't use exposed extenders for support because they only have 100HP. In accordance with my above suggestion, I would mount a 20cm extender to the baseplate anchor (I'll let you decide which attachment point) then add iron spikes (they have both length and HP). Make sure that you're not blocking the opponent from your main weapon with the frontal support. If you have the weight, I would also suggest upgrading the weapons. If you need the weight, tighten up the chassis.

I'm either misreading or we're not on the same page.

I just made a HS in RA2 with blades.  The blades were set so the dark side (the side J said did no damage) would hit the enemy robot, and it did damage and destroyed them.

Moved where it should be

[JoeBlo]

just leave it here, its not doing any bit of harm..

[Sparkey98]

I make jokebots now
first, watch this

now

[G.K.]

Cheat bots go in custom showcases

[Sparkey98]

Js showcase is full of cheatbots.

[Naryar]

G.K.'s statement still applies.

[Sparkey98]

it's a head crab :D
and don't flame me for maing joke bots, after all I'm getting the hang of RA2 again.

[Naryar]

A head crap ?

[Vertigo]

lol

[Sparkey98]

Eat it. I think I built somehting that doesn't suck besides the weight

[Vertigo]

Fail wedge setup, just make a generic one :P
Other than that, not too bad, but use some irons/maces to buildup to the weight limit

My repsonse to bold: it works kinda
My response to red: THE WORLD GENERIC IS NOT ALLOWED IN MY SHOWCASE. Generic building is boring, I like to inovate. The wedge design wasn't a fail, you havn't seen it work
My response to blue: whic is it people? I keep getting told to use razors.
