Hey guys, I've decided to make a showcase here and i'll be using my family camera, so i'll apologise in advance if the quality is poor, pics to come soon.

Ummm why don't you press F11 and go into your screenshot folder and crop the image, then show it.

Welcome to GTM, have a nice day

Thanks for the welcome.

I had no idea that's how you get screenshots.

Anyways the 1st bot that will be shown (But no now) Is Velocity EVO (Also my username) Currently unbeaten, most of the time it wins within 15 seconds, the idea started yesterday when i was trying to make a Hazard like bot, using the multi purpose steel blades at full length, in it's test battle against Big Dog. I found out that the blades where too high, so i decided on using full length extenders and angle connectors at 90 degrees with 2 spinning hammers.

Today, only 1 day old, I've modified it so it has a faster drive and now has 4 hammers, lets just say the outcome of some match ain't pretty, though sometimes it havoc explodes, just about half an hour ago, it havoc exploded and half the bot got stuck in the floor (managed to get out though) Only 1 of its fights has ended with both bots still moving, and that was to Emergancy, i won on points.

So yeah, a pic will follow, possibly today or during the evening sometime next week (UK time, due to work experience)

Can I give you some advice?

Look through other peoples showcase, and try to copy some of the more easier designs (e.g. not any of the 36 mace HSes) just to get some experience on what works and what doesn't

Sorry guys, im gonna have to take pics off my camera as my pathetic computer ( also known as sleazebag 3002 )doesn't understand a simple instruction on screenshots

Sorry guys

Anyways ive made a design inspired by a bot on here ( 2 vertical tribars ) And made sure they spin in the exact same direction, but it kept on being unstable and flipping itself over, so they both spin in different directions.

Do both weapons weigh the same, how wide is the bot? (A pic would help)

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #6 on:** April 30, 2010, 01:28:00 PM »

I'll get a pic ASAP but it has 6 hammers on 2 tribars, which kept on dragging the weight down the front end and tipping it over.

It's shape is a box with a wedge back, much like Backlash

That happens with Orbital Delivery Vehicle in the Starcore AI packs sometimes. And the game's damage calculator doesn't take mass into account, so probably use Iron Spikes on the tribars instead. Use the extra 120 kg for other stuff. =)

press f11
go to your games program files

I made another robot similar to Da Smasher (the unstable one) but made it wider and taller with more balance, 2 tribars. 6 ramplates. Im proud of this one. Pic to follow.

Sparkey: ive tried it and their is no screenshot folders. I'm not going to bother with it, camera it is. An average pic is better than no pic

NFX · « **Reply #10 on:** May 01, 2010, 05:12:34 AM »

The way I do it, is while it's in the bot lab, press Shift + PrtSc (Print Screen), then go into an image editing program, like MS Paint, and then press Ctrl + V.

Doomkiller · « **Reply #11 on:** May 01, 2010, 05:15:59 AM »

Only if you press Print Screen NFX

Velocity EVO: If tthere is no screenshot folder, make one and try again. (make sure you call it ScreenShots)

NFX · « **Reply #12 on:** May 01, 2010, 06:24:27 AM »

I did mention that part. =)

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #13 on:** May 01, 2010, 07:18:13 AM »

Ive made a few vids of the bots just now

They'll arrive on Youtube soon

NFX · « **Reply #14 on:** May 01, 2010, 03:53:31 PM »

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #15 on:** May 02, 2010, 07:14:04 AM »

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #16 on:** May 05, 2010, 12:48:06 PM »

Ok the vids will be up soon.

Lately, thanks to inspiration from you guys and your ideas. My bots have changed from complete sacks horse manure to complete killers, so i thank you guys.

Velocity EVO · « **Reply #17 on:** May 05, 2010, 01:52:50 PM »

R.I.P Velocity EVO, as im not happy with it it anymore, but the bot that's replaced it is an absolute destroyer

Squirrel_Monkey · « **Reply #18 on:** May 05, 2010, 01:54:41 PM »

Will we ever see your bots?

NFX · « **Reply #19 on:** May 05, 2010, 01:56:47 PM »

Any screenshots of your bots yet?
