...I'm not leaving for now...
Chill out, I just want my bots rar to be ready, not to make it in the last minute.
But you must understand, that this is unavoidable at some point in time for EVERYONE in here...

you're one of the best stock builders we have
Ho-ho-ho, just you wait to see what "nightmares" my "bots pack" will have...

Thanks!

Everyone, thanks for the kind posts btw, I really appreciate it.

Venko, if you ever upgrade/tweak/modify that Freeman bot, then it becomes Freeman Episode 2

...Freeman Episode 2...

What's this? And what you mean?

A new bot :

The way of the spinja : Spinjas live to serve their master, they are an anti HS specialists. They are trained to stop the spinning of the enemy weapons, while their flail weapons keeps damaging. However, the spinjas are very vulnerable to an enemies armed with wedges. The first legendary grand master, which invented the way of the spinja, is the ancient Japan master - Bad Nik the 96th.

And some random collage with screenshots, made while I was making/testing my bots pack :

Is that a chassis drum? I have never seen that before. If it spins, then I

Yep.
I have never seen that before.
That's a bot from me from 2008 I think.
If it spins, then I you.
Yep, the bot "moves" "relatively normally", and thanks!

It can be improved A LOT, but I'm lazy. It just needs more stabilizers, just in case. It's not very combat worthy tho. The DDTs flips him, when the arena is loaded, then my tricky mechanism makes it moving, since, if your bot is sideways, you can't turn with a normal drive system (RA2 engine limitation), you need a crawler or the system of this bot. The turning of this bot is not that great tho. But what the

, it's still cool.

And I get the feeling we would never see a 3rd version.

No matter how cool it looks, I'm still not convinced how that anti-HS has enough weapons to beat a HS straight on.

I know the point is to pin, stop spinners and then reach the extenders and tribars but still 8 weapons, attacking a HS face-on ?

I used a tricky smart zone and AI, so it spins only when the enemy is pinned. So they don't spin/show and get destroyed when the HS is not yet pinned, the casters are taking the hits. I just wanted to demonstrate a good anti HS hybrid concept.

First, I never said that this is some kind of an uber good bot (it's showcased after all), second, I always test my bots. So it's "OK" with what it supose to do, 8 flail irons on enhaced HPs are enough to kill a not spinning HS. The number

of weapons is not the most important part always, the bot showed under \/ has less (4 lousy razors), but it's way more effective in ANY aspect.
