Venko's showcase

[Venko]

I have one insane idea :
What if...
Someone replace the 140 cm square extenders with a long pistons.
It will require a special AI to fire the pistons in the right moment of rotating, but what it will produce :
Unspeakable win with a powerful hits or unspeakable fail with a Havok nuclear explosion...?

After having to record the piston bots from INFAI etc. in my last display tournament I shudder to think of the havoks it would cause.

Builders  block is just an excuse, why not do something else with the game  instead of being children in playground? Mod/skin an arena, create an  AI pack, host a tournament, create some components, make a  tutorial...be useful..

My third tool is released.
Check out my signature for it.
I checked the download pages for my tools, and they have some downloads, but I don't have any feedback for now.
ANY!
No votes, no comments, no nothing.
So ianh05, what's the point, the kids these days just download free or pirated stuff without caring for the people that makes them.
But mostly, I feel very sad for the poor Trovaner, that is breaking his ass of work for us and no one even says "THANKS", for the great guy he is...

I'll check it out, unfortunately I haven't been able to check your other downloads yet as I have been busy with a bunch of other stuff (AI packs, tournaments, AW building). My AI packs in the downloads sections don't have any votes or comments either but I think it's mainly guests that download them because most members get stuff directly from the forum.

I always try to upvote and say thanks to people like Trov who go the extra mile for us.

[Mr. AS]

most people/almost everyone dont/doesnt use the comments/votes section in downloads anyway.

and the excel file doesnt seem to work on google docs... i think ill stick to my calculator then

Calm yourself, they're doing the best they can to fix it

First : Nevermind, Trov took care of it.
Second : I'm still experiencing these problems, so I will share some feedback :
Disabling the ugly forum theme, actually helps a 'lil bit, so I'm thinking that it's a part of the problem.
Also, I discovered, that the biggest cause of the "login error", is when You have opened more than 1 GTM tabs in your browser, even cleaning the cache don't helps for many tabs.
Third : For an instructions about my tool, just read the "read me". I still didn't get any feedback, is it useful?

Assuming your using Fire Fox~
Tools -> Options
-Privacy Tab-
Firefox will: Use Custom Settings for History
Click Settings on Clear History when Fire Fox closes
Then just have Cache be the only thing checked
Click ok to all of those settings.
Restart Firefox
Hopefully you can log in and out again
????????????????
Profit

Anyway, glad to see your back, Venko =D

I would post this earlier, but I had to go to the university to defend my diploma work, that was the cause for my disappearance for some days. Now I have a master degree (with A- mark overall) in petroleum geophysics, have two publications, and I will start my final job soon, wich will lead to my permanent (this time) leaving of the GTM, but it will also lead to the release of my bots.
I don't know why I'm still modding this, as the whole series is not so good :

This is more like an art bot, then something good :

This is also more like an art bot :

Troll physics, nothing is "photoshopped" here, except the text added :

The closest thing to a shell spinner in stock, the funny part is, that his side part is the most vulnerable and it's a shell spinner... :

Watching this crushing is a big pleasure :

That's for now...

[ianh05]

The LW reminds me of one of my old LW's called "Domino" but yours is better. I also like the 2 last bots, very creative :)

Shame you're leaving, we need more creative stock builders around these days. Hopefully your bot pack can give people some inspiration (I can't wait to see it).

[Squirrel_Monkey]

1WD MWs are cool.

[ianh05]

lol I totally didn't see that HS as a multi-bot, nice work.

[infiniteinertia]

THE FBS/SHELL SPINNER IS SOOOO AWESOME

>Robot with a trollface for a chassis
Alright, I'm curious: I wanna' see an inside shot, to see the exact chassis shape.

[Conraaa]

I love that HW Multibot, nice work on all of them.

Too bad that the disks fall intact before the maces when attacked from side...

>Robot with a trollface for a chassis
Alright, I'm curious: I wanna' see an inside shot, to see the exact chassis shape.

I'm assuming You are speaking about the dangerous troll bot. You have to "zoom" and "preview the image at full screen" the pic, since it's an animated GIF wich shows the inside, but the image upload site shows a smaller and unanimated preview at first...
It's a HW split at two mirror MWs. The only difference between Lrrr and Lrrr2 is the skin, in the first version is not yet split, in the second is glued back together.
Also, You all are missing the awesomnest of the last bot, all that "mounted" bots on the pics lost. If someone build him with a more successful way of "mounting", he can be devastating...

[J]

You have to zoom-

Did that just now.
I lost it, at the chassis xD

Also, you should name that last bot Lamarr. Seems appropriate, really.

[Naryar]

Sheck spinner is pretty sick indeed.
