Hey everybody, I've been playing RA2 for awhile now, and you guys have really helped me become a decent builder. So I eventually thought some of my bots were good enough to post here, and here they are (please excuse the attempt at splashes):

Gingebot:

Megaultraawesomebot:

Popsicle:

Almost: (has a 36hs off of 1 servo ever been done before?)

I like popups, in case you couldn't tell. All the popups have really good wedges, especially Popsicle.
I'm looking forward to what you guys think!

Uh, it's good to include a bot on your first post.

Uncle Knuckles · « **Reply #2 on:** August 31, 2010, 04:00:30 PM »

@Stagfish: Yeah, sorry about that... I thought I was supposed to make the topic then post stuff... sorry!

You rival VB for best 1st bots ever! Awesome!

Wow, those bots are better than mine are now, lol :P

I <3 stock popups too. (Well, not in DSL.)

I feel old, I should start making stock bots again.

You feel old, you are only 12

Love your name, love your bots, hate your pic.

Uncle Knuckles · « **Reply #8 on:** August 31, 2010, 04:51:27 PM »

About the pic, it was supposed to be a .gif of Isaac Brock (the Modest Mouse front man) flopping his head around and shooting laser vision. It works fine on my computer, but it's not working as my picture... any tips?

It's best to use a .gif that is working when you preview it on google images.

That, or just use a program that makes .gifs
Like Photoshop, Flash,

, even Gif Construction Set.

Cool bots, yo. I really like Almost and Popsicle (especially Popsicle's skin) ,looks sweet.

But it is very obvious you have been lurking. Agree with GK on this one. I hope you stay. You could become one of the stock masters in no time.

It makes me feel old because my bots are outdated

Well someone's been lurking.

You've obviously got axle loading down (better than I have actually), and I think Sage has done a 36hs off a single servo before (he's done a 36hs off of basically everything >.>).

It's rare that someone walks in and is one of the better builders here, but you've done it. Good job :D

Sage · « **Reply #14 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:15:13 PM »

I did it, just never showcased. the setup was the same as black and blue, just with a servo, so I didn't think it was worth it. Not because I was too lazy to put on the weapons or anything >.>

Awesome first bots. The two middle ones are OKAY but the other two (the first popup and the HS) were impressive.

Pwnator · « **Reply #15 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:19:44 PM »

The first and last bots are nicely done! :D

And that's some lurking you did. O_O

Is the HS stable?

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #16 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:20:11 PM »

Welcome to the forums. Nice showcase so far. Keep up the great work. I hope to see you enter some tournaments in the future. :D

NFX · « **Reply #17 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:30:44 PM »

Nice lurk.

Excellent first bots, as well. Makes me feel slightly inadequate. =D

Uncle Knuckles · « **Reply #18 on:** August 31, 2010, 06:36:16 PM »

@ Pwnator: Yeah, Almost actually drives really well and doesn't flop around too much. I had the maces on the bottom extenders facing sideways, but they kept making the bot bounce, and when I angled them toward the center of the bot, boom! It was suddenly stable.

Also, I still can't get my .gif avatar working. Is there a file size limit or something? It works fine when I look at it in windows picture and fax viewer, and GIMP (the program I made it in), but it doesn't seem to want to work here...

According to the image properties(lolrightclick) it says your avi is a .jpg file, and not a .gif.
That might be the problem.
