The showcase of 798

[markman798]

The showcase will help me become a better bot builder before i make AI packs, like RA2 Evolution

First bot: The Dark Side Of The Moon:

[Naryar]

can it even hit stuff ?

also http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/ra2techs.htm

read this, it's pretty much a required read for most stock builders

[markman798]

can it even hit stuff ?

barely

[Naryar]

can it even hit stuff ?

barely

Then think about what needs to be fixed to make it hit stuff better, and do it.

I can't hardly even see the picture. And when I click the picture, it goes to postimage uploader.

^^^^^

and postimage sucks honestly. stop being dumb and take botlab pics/use imgur already

First bot: The Dark Side Of The Moon:

the chassis being on stilts like that will give it a high center of gravity and cause it to fall over easily. get the drive in the chassis and use HPZteks, 2 if you want more weight for weapons and 4 if you want it to boxrush more easily.

i am actually contemplating making a poker/hammer hybrid of my own... likely going to make mine a downward angled poker though

my guess: less than 2 weeks until you disappear.

[Badnik96]

He's been around since last June, I doubt it...

Yeah, you definitely need some internal drive and weapon systems. The only thing the stilted drive is doing for you is making it easier for you to tip.

[Naryar]

any new bots ?

[markman798]

working on one right now

[markman798]

not getting the screenshot thing

[Naryar]

press F10 ingame
go into screenshots folder
pick up screenshot
if no screenshot, go in paint and ctrl+v
then crop picture so it's not too big
save as png
upload it in gametechmods image uploader https://gametechmods.com/Uploaders/indexih.php
cut/copy the adress that it gives you which is between IMG tags
paste it here.

There. It's that easy.

[Venko]

I'm making the screenshots with F11 in the bot lab...

[markman798]

Thanks, and also Complete Terror: Note that all those spikes are held by burst pistons.

Tip:

Try not to fill a chassis with components but try to fit the chassis around components.

[Naryar]

lol at standard newb poker

What ian said. also, pole spikes and pointy tips are pretty poor in most uses.

[markman798]

thanks for the tips, ill remember to use razor tips next time, and a bigger chassis, or smaller amount of weapons

[ianh05]

No no, use the smallest possible chassis to fit the components you want in and always MOAR weapons.
