Well, here we are, BTTB 3 signups. I need 29 people, technically 32 but Ounce and SB are garunteed places (If they want them) and I will enter, to post the fact they want to participate (Though I may do a wildcard/expand the bracket). Once the entrants are full or we reach December 17th, I will assign each member another's first showcased DSL bot which they must rebuild as STOCK HW's. Then, on December 25th, I will close the signups stage, with an allowance of 4 days if it is really needed, so make sure your bot is in by then!
This is the post where I assigned everyone their bots. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,5288.msg264196.html#msg264196)

- The ending deadline for this tournament is December 09, 2011
-
Hang on, wait, that rule 'Nobody can be entered until a bot is received and accepted' was not a rule, I was just copy+pasting ACAMS' rule guidelines, and missed deleting it when I was making the rules. It doesn't work with this tournament's guidelines at all. I don't know why I missed it. Sorry.
-
Totally entering this. =D
-
I dont see it GK ;)
-
Thanks.
You entering Joe?
-
yep
your lucky you made it stock .. otherwise I would have passed :P
should I dare post my 140cm extender patch? since its allowed everyone should have access to it..
-
Feel free. The extender here weighs 5 kg.
-
i completely got out of stock. not going to enter this.
-
IM ENTERING
(i apologize in advance for the person whose bot i rebuild. it is probably going to suck. BUT ITS STILL FUN!)
-
You're in.
-
Count me in.
-
You're in. Almost a quarter of the places are gone already. O_O
-
I'm in. But if you give me S_M's bot, I will have to shoot you. :D
-
You're in. Almost a quarter of the places are gone already. O_O
DSL has plenty of choices but people (including me) have been crying out for something stock
-
^Same. I suck at DSL.
-
Same.
Marty, you're in.
-
You're better than me, G.K. xD
Will my bot be re-built as a regular poker or will it have to have hammers?
-
Hmm. Well, it was hammers in BTTB 2, so yesh, hammers again. ;P
-
I'll enter
First showcased DSL bot: Whiplash v6.0 (Popup)
-
Yeah, i'll enter.
Fell sorry for the person who gets my bot if it has to be kept as a complex spinner.
-
I think my first bot was a FS. But I have already tried to rebuild S_M's first bot, just in case I end up with it.
-
I'm in :P
"Trololol"
-
*enters*
*hopes to do as well as he did in BTTB 2 and NOT GET PWN*
-
I think I'll enter, if it's alright.
-
Can't enter because 1001 problems would be to hard to rebuild in stock.
-
You don't have to exactly replicate the bot, you just have to build the same bot type.
-
Can't enter because 1001 problems would be to hard to rebuild in stock.
Yes you can, SM is entering and his first bot was a car
-
GRW, your bot would be canadian warrior.
-
mememememememememememememememe
-
I am in
-
You two are in, and a spot is reserved for Click as he's not about much.
-
Will somebody have to use the flamethrower for RoF ?
-
Yes.
-
I'll enter.
-
Ok I will enter.
-
No, no, you don't know what bot you're making yet. You get assigned a bot that you have rebuild once the 32 places are taken.
-
hmmm...To enter or no. Haven't played stock in forever, don't even like stock, but I love this series. Can I get a 'tentative entry'? put me in as an entrant, but if the places get filled up and someone else what's in, you can drop me?
-
I will so be in this. If possible
-
I shall enter.
-
I shall enter.
No need, you already have a place.
Doom, yoda, I'll put you in. Yoda, I'll fufill that request for you.
-
I iz in yo

Stock Doom Driedel...
*Crosses fingers*
-
Pwn is in.
11 spaces left!
-
Thank you G.K.
And a stock Dreidel could be cool. Don't know how feasible it is though.
*goes to experiment*

entering this!
-
Correction: I've been since informed by MKB that he can't enter as he is too lazy to make a new showcase after Nary deleted his old one.
-
lol
-
Interested. :smile:

And that means less fail bots in the competition. Good.
-
KM and Picnic are in.
-
Yippeee. When do we get given the bot to build?
-
Once the spaces are filled up.
-
Moving along quite nicely here. =] Perhaps it's time for me to try prorotyping some designs.
-
GK I hope you get picnic to build something good.
And I might work a little more on my entry's stability as well :P But hopefully I get a wedge.
-
Well, I invited him round to my house next week to make sure he builds something at all. :P
-
well i already entered mircomayhams SFTW so i guess i can enter in this tourney as well. god i hope i get an easier bot then my first DSL bot lol.
-
You're in.
-
I in.
-
You're in.
-
I in.
Are you going to try and put 36 batteries in this one, too? :claping
-
I'll be in (officially) now.
-
Cheers.
-
DP: Place reserved for RedAce.
-
Eh, might as well then. Prepare for fail >.<
-
Yay!
-
yea i'll have a go
prepare for an epic fail tho :D
-
Cheers.
-
I'll download stock and give it a go, put me on the list.
-
Awesome
-
I'm entering this. G.K., assign me a bot! :P
-
That will almost certianly happen later tonight, once signups are closed.
-
Right, so looks like there's one entry left- If I get a good choice later, I'll party like it's 1999 :P
-
I'm going out to act in a play now. I'll see y'all i about 5 hours, by which I hope the spaces are filled up. If they are, I'll assign you your bots then.

Good luck in it! And hopefully, by the pricking of my thumb, a good entry will this way come.

Have you no damn fighting spirit at all ?
-
ugh never mind
i can't win with you, can i?
-
Enough, Nar. Take it elsewhere please.
-
Everybody has the right to think they will do badly. If you're full of confidence and you go out in the first round, you look like a fool. If you have no confidence and you go out in the first round, then at least you didn't fall short of your expectations. I always tend to set the bar fairly low for myself. That way, when I do well, it comes as a pleasant surprise. =D
-
I have the bar set pretty high for me for this tourney whether I think I do or not lol.
-
Can't I encourage new builders to build better ?
-
:O NEVER!! that just increases the number of people likely to beat me later down the track :P

Quoted for truth. I went into BTTB2 with very little expectation after my disastrous run in the first one, so it was a pleasant surprise to be able to take revenge on Jonzu and defeat both The Ounce and Joe :claping
-
no chance high pants :P
Maybe not this time, but beating you twice in two tournaments is good enough for me, anyway :beer:
-
you can hardly call replica wars a win
you used a cheaty unbalanced motor and were fighting a robot that wasnt AI'd correctly (I AI'd it correctly mind you, it just went screwy in Badniks hands for some reason)
-
Suppose there's that. But even once is still good enough for me :P
-

YOU AIED IT RONG :P
He still got a good place, though. The Judge Burst Motor is overpowered. I preferred DSL 2.0 than 2.1 because it still had the good snapper motor, before it was changed to a lifter motor.
-
Hey I really want to enter this but my computer has firewall and I read that firewall won't allow me to compete in multiplayer, is this correct? If so, how do I get around this?
-

Don't worry, it's not multiplayer. All you have to do is make your entry, save it as a BOT file, and then send it to GK once he asks you.
-
Thx. Is there anything else I should know?
-
Only that you'll need to let GK know you're interested in entering on here, and then he'll sign you up. Once he's done that, he'll assign you a DSL robot to rebuild in Stock (That's the original version of the game).
Hope that helps :approve:
-
It does thanks. Lol just one last question for now. So I need to just post a picture of one of my dsl bots?
-
On a showcase, yes.
-
Thank you
-
That's OK. If there's anything else you need to know, come talk to me.
-
I just hope I don't go out in the second round of the loser's bracket. Again.

Let's hope not.
But today, it's felt good to have helped a new member :approve:
-
Aww, GF's got himself a protege ;)
-
We all get followers at some point in our RA2 career.
-
Maybe so, but I'm liking the idea of becoming like a mentor to some of the newer members :D
-

Nah. It depends of your perceived skill and charisma. Generally only the good builders get followers. Look at Click, ACAMS, Inf, Pysc, Joe, FB and my humble self.
We should really come back on topic by the way.
-
I think we should. The Beetlebros. website has an excellent guide on building good bots.
-
Technically, it was on topic, because we were discussing some future possibilities, relating to an event in this thread :P
But even still, we'd best hop back to it. Nary's also got some very good DSL tips on the RA2 wiki.
-
Chances are, I will get the only flipper and its wedges will screw up due to the arena.

I've made a prototype car just in case I do get it.

-
I'm waiting for someone with a DSL showcase to post....
-
Doesn't everyone in this thread have a DSL showcase?
-
To take the last space.
-
Hai.
-
lol
Also, I hope I get a bot that is realistic-ish.
-
Zog you're in already.
-
Spinner Bot says he wants to enter.
-
I know, but has has no DSL showcase.
-
I imagine somebody else will take the spot up soon anyway.
You need to get your little protege to hurry up GF ;P
-
OK then, I'll let him know.
-
I'm in contact wth him. He knows.
-
You want me to remake my most crappy bot to date? Interesting...
-
I'm in contact wth him. He knows.
Ah, only just found this message. I also PM'ed him about it at about the same time you did, so hopefully he'll make it :approve:
-
Sign me up.
-
SpinnerBot will be in a wildcard with me then.

I can totally not wait for the draw. =D

I would say something but i dont want to tempt fate
-
C'mon GK...
I only have 15 mins before I go!
-
^Same. *Crosses fingers*
-
Hopefully I'll get something good. Not a drum though, it's damn-near impossible to make those in Stock.
-
Ohaider Drumblebee. :gawe:
-
I'm typing as fast as I can.
-
Ohaider Drumblebee. :gawe:
But just for me, really. I can't get the connections right.
-
I have to go now. I'll see my bot tomorrow.
-
Go G.K. Go!

Go GK, do this:

Also, Samurai swords... FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Well, that's me snookered then :(
-
Bar HS? I will give it my best shot. I don't expect much, in truth.

Hehe I'll do my best with your design, J24.
-
A quad wedged FS ? Good
-
In Stock? Just for clarification
Also, I got an awesome bot!
-
Just noticed that Click has KM's bot
All the gods seem to be getting the newcomer's bots!
-
Hmm, bear claw rammer ey?
Bear claws are good components, should be quitte fun to build :mrgreen:
Oh, and sorry to picnic for having to build a complex spinner ;P
-
@Mush
In Stock? Just for clarification
Also, I got an awesome bot!
Well, here we are (Don't forget everyone, we'll make stock HW's!):
-
Yay. I'm building a bot which I have never built before :P
I've never built an SnS before. So what?
-
Hello Craaigs bot :D
I forsee that this will be fun :D
-
Screw'd.
-
LOL
-
Should have seen his reaction when I told him on msn xD
-
What did he say?
-
I will try the best I can. Hopefully...
-
I will never win with FS/Hammers! They suck!
Goin for good luck here... FFFFFUUUUUU
-
Just like you'd never win with a sawbot? =P
-
I will never win with FS/Hammers! They suck!
Goin for good luck here... FFFFFUUUUUU
ahahaha what where you saying about doing well in this tournament ?
-
- Joe, you have my bot Lobos. Make a popup
F**K YEAH! :P
wedge war time :gawe:
-
@Nary: I said I was expected to do well, not that I actually would. ;)
-
I have a prototype up and running. AGOD killed the first attempt at a build, got it perfect the second time round.
-
I'm either going to use Rodney The Cube or an un-named cube bot that's kinda a rip off of Dr. Inerno Jr.
-
Oh man, a HW flipper... that's gonna be hard. Especially because I've never even tried to build one. It could be worse though; at least I didn't get Doom Dreidel or Vroom, or a bot with sledgehammers.
-
Or mine...
-
Yours might be possible to make good, or at least decent. Maybe use angle motors for the face spinners? It would probably be more stable that way.
Or you could do a juggler-type face spinner, but the spinners would be on short hammers, so they could fire and hit bots underneath it, but they would be positioned in such a way that they could also be used as regular face spinners. Not sure if that would stray too far from the original design though.
Anyways, there's a lot of stuff you could do with a FS hammer if you think outside the box. ;)
-
Hmm RADs did cross my mind. I'll see what I can come up with.
-
I have WHAT!!?
God dammit :(
-
Feel for ya mate.
-
LOL I will trade with you Doom and send in Endless Existence :P
-
LOL
-
Sorry, Doom, I truly am.
After much experimenting (okay, an hour or two), I think the endless existence route is the only way to go in stock. I did manage to get one to stay balanced for a full 6 seconds once using a HPZ, but then it fell over and never moved again.
anyway, Guess it's time to figure out how to make an efficient bot in stock. i'm sure i'll be joining the losers bracket quickly
-
only problem with Endless Existence is.. not even I can AI it :P
-
I might have an Idea for it, but its gona suck :(
-
I didn't see I was in, but there's one thing I don't know how to do.
-
Got a prototype. This whole "Bar" rule is killing my weapon setup. I'll be trashed by anything remotely good, so I'll send something cool-looking instead.
-
LOL at Badnik's bot
-
Erm, I have to ask, I don't have to keep wild cube as a cube, otherwise it kinda loses the point of it being a cube :confused:
-
Cube is preferable but not required.
-
Hmmm, maybe a cuboid then ;P
I've already got the name for it atleast :laughing
-
GF93'S ROBOT UPDATE
Well, after studying how to make a stock drum, I've gotten start on the design, and I'm pleased to say it's coming along quite nicely. All I need is to fix up the wobble on the drum and protect the motors (Whilst also allowing the wedges to feed things into the drum), and I think I'll be ready to go.
-
Ignore my previous statement. =D My bot is now actually quite good. Now just to AI it.
-
A bar HS, eh? If I do come against it, I'd better make sure my sides are protected :D
-
Luckily, the bot i've made is Anti-HS.
-
Luckily, the bot i've made is Anti-HS.
And I've got a Drum- hopefully, I'll see you there ;)

Somehow I got to create a car robot.

Maybe that'll help ;)
-
Hmm....should I go the alien queen road or just make a chained sledghammer VS?
I was hoping for a popup.... xD
-
Stag's bot is in.
-
Hopefully mine will be ready soon. Just need to skin it and iron out some faults here and there.
-
well I got a bit to work on. When do the bots have to be in by?
-
See 1st post.
-
25th eh?
Im going to have to get working on it asap.
-
Going to sleep on mine tonight so i should have a prototype sometime tomorrow
-
Flipper. Ruh-roh.
-
Stock FSS eh? Lucky me :P
-
mines actually gone quite well :D
all i need to do is the skin
oh dear
and i still have lots of weight left
-
PMbomb'd. ;)
-
NFX, Picnic and Stag are AI'd.
-
First time I check this thread... And Signups already full. Lol.
-
Gaaah. Upon testing, I've actually found my entry sucks considerably- the drums keep wobbling about and exposing the wedges. Heck, even Ranacide 3 and Alien Predator can get underneath them fine!
Good thing I've got some time, then.
-
3 bots ready, 29 to go!
-
are we to use glitches or not? also is it strange that im havin a hard time getting mine to HW let alone 800KG lol
-
Hey everybody. Does nyone have a simple tutorial how to get a bot I made for this to g.k.? I'm clueless
-
Unfortunately, you're a bit late to sign up for the tournament, given the way that it operates. You sign up, then you get assigned someone else's first bot to rebuild. I'll send you a PM explaining how to send.
-
No he did sign up under a condition that he would join GK in a wildcard if he started a showcase.
@Spinner Bot
1. Upload the bot file to the bot exchange using the Stock HW uploader and tell GK where it is via PM.
or 2. Upload the bot file in a .zip file and send to G.K. using the file uploader.
-
mine just says popup
does that mean forward firing?, True popup? or either ?
-
meh, i've given up with the skin
bot uploaded although it is underweight but works rather well.
-
mine just says popup

Forward, true or side. The choice is yours.
@Ty4er: Where?
-
meh, i've given up with the skin
bot uploaded although it is underweight but works rather well.
So you could've added moar weaponz and made it work really well, but you left it like that because it works well?
-
@g.k
in the bot exchange under stock HW
@j24
i would rather have a good robot than one with lots of razors.
and i didnt know what to do without it being like the original

A bot with lots of Weaponz IS a good one

About to AI ty4er's bot and my bot.
-
Where's the list of who's got who's bot gone?
-
Nowhere
Its still on page 10
-
I asked sparkey if he's still competing and he said that BTTB 3 and I can rot in heck. So I'm kicking him out and letting SpinnerBot in the main bracket. He's already got his bot to build.
Also, ty4er's bot and mine are AI'd! 28 to go!
-
Lol, corey sounds mad :laughing
-
How are everyone's bots coming on?
-
Sledgehammers......bleeeeh D:
-
How are everyone's bots coming on?
I cant get my hammer to retract...
-
Less weight on the hammers?
-
I think it's just cos they dont move fast enough
they dont move very fast on the way down either
but i'll try that
-
Not enough battery power, perhaps. 2 Blackvolts might be enough for 2 DDT's and 4 HPZ Drive.
-
The rest of you have 10 days!
-

That's odd. 3 Blacks?

Ill try adding counterweights tomorrow, see if that works any better
-
ilarious J24.
-
DP: Just over 9 days left!
-
*goes to make carefully planned FSS*
-
I built my bot with the sledgehammers on a burst piston, however I dont believe he'll do well. The only difference is that he's a hw instead of a me and has two sledges instead of three. I'm having mixed feelings about this guy :/
-
Ok, send it to me wen you're ready. :)
-
Well, I've tried cloning Mome Rath. With sledgehammers. Erm......it went................as well as, say, beating Claymore with Blood Orange.
-
At gk two things: did you give me my bots name? And it's not letting me upload the bot. I got to my teams, click on the bot I made, and click upload or whatever to bot designs folder. But when I look, it's not there! Please help.
-
What OS do you run?
Your bot needs to be named as a variant of HammerHead
-
Ok I will name it better and I use Microsoft windows
-
...
Well, I might showcase my prototype entry, so I can see if I'm doing the drum right. Is that OK?
-
Ok I will name it better and I use Microsoft windows
Which version of windows?
@GF93: That's fine.
-
Oh sorry windows 7
-
Where abouts did you save Robot Arena 2?
-
What exactly do you mean? Sorry.
-
On the hard drive, which directory did you save Robot Arena 2 into? I'm assuming it was in the C:/ Drive, was it in Program Files (if it was, it'll probably be under Infogrames, or just Robot Arena 2), or Users somewhere?
-
Unless you've done anything different, ittl be under C/program files(x86)/infogrammes/robot arena 2
Once there press "compatibility files" on the top bar and go from there into robot designs
You should see the robot there
-
Yah it's in infrogames
-
Hey spinner, do you intend to showcase your bot after having finished it, rather than sending it directly to GK ? We can help making it better then.
-
Yah that sounds great. I'll start a stock showcase and it'll be the first one. I'll makeit tommorow around 4 pm ish
-
And I will start mine tomorrow because I pretty much got the inside design in my head of how I will build it.
-
Well, im still trying to get this bot to work.
Not going rather well though :/
-
I hope you are able to get it going soon. :)
-
hey can anyone help me with uploading a bot the the bot exchange? it isnt working for me and all the info is above in previous replies i left. Thanks :vista:
-
Is this the problem with not being able to see the bot?
If it is, the awnser is in the previous reply i left
-
oh sorry completely forgot about your reply. :mrgreen: Anyway, ill try it soon but my ra2 computer is down so ill inform you tommorow if it worked.
-
8 days left!
-
Ok I will name it better and I use Microsoft windows
Which version of windows?
@GF93: That's fine.
That's good. I've updated my showcase now, and hopefully some others more experienced in the field of drums can help me.
-
Frig, I made a working prototype but AGOD killed it. Tried to make a second but I couldn't get it right without making it overweight. Screw it, I shall be sitting out for another BTTB (thus killing my ranking).
F*ck.
Please let the next one be DSL again, maybe I can win next time
-
You've still got about 7 days, you know...
-
NVM, made a semi-OK bot that I will send in a sec
-
Please let the next one be DSL again, maybe I can win next time
I sure do hope that the next one's Stock-to-DSL. XD
And you're not alone bro, AGOD's trying to put me off as well. :P
-
hey GK can you put what we are supposed to build in the first post? I cant find ittttt
-
It's on the middle of page 10.
Well, I made a bot, and it's nearly worthless (hey, it's my first HW pure flipper I've ever attempted to build, what do you expect), but it sounds like there will be a lot of failbots in this tournament so with a bit of luck I could still do well. ;) Even if I don't, at least it looks rather cool if I do say so myself.
-
Right, stuff to say.
Badnik and Click's bots are in and I'm about to look at them.
Scrap, I'll put that link up on the first post in a second.
Pwn. BTTB 4 will indeed be Stock to DSL.

Nothing's stopping you, bro. A lot of my entries are on the exchange. XD

Hey guys, I am torn right now. I had my bot saved and ready to go, but now I can't enter it. My ra2 computer is down and not accessible for a lOng time. So right now I'm almost positive I cAnt enter. I'm really sorry gk and others. :( this is completely unavoidable.
-
@RedAce: No problem
@Spinner Bot: Can you download RA2 onto the comp you're using to post? If not, please send me a picture of your bot's insides and outsides.
-
Less than a week to go!
-
I put my entry on the exchange.
-
Cheers
-
Uhhhh when am I supposed to have this done by?
-
Uhhhh when am I supposed to have this done by?
I think by Christmas.
-
Then, on December 25th, I will close the signups stage, with an allowance of 4 days if it is really needed, so make sure your bot is in by then!
-
Ah, four days out, technically.
-
How's your bot GF93?
-
I've got the working prototype running, but I still need to sort out the layout of the wedge and drum weaponry, before skinning it. Hopefully, it should be finished soon.
-
My bot is built. I just need to tweak the wedges and skin it. I'm not sure whether I should widen the drums, though.
-
Got my bot?
-
No.
-
Well I sent it, will PM again.
-
I think I have my bot, I just wish sledges weren't so fragile in stock.
Will post it in my showcase, actually.
-
@gk- sorry I can't. Ra2 doesn't download on this computer and I can't get any other pictures cause they r only on the game. Sorry
-
Ok. Don't worry.
SB, if you get in, you'll get a bye.
-
5 days to go. I'm sending round PM's.
-
I've built a prototype version of Stag's, but I'm not happy with it. How can I make DSL Bars in stock?

Extenders?
-
I've added tons of irons to extenders, but it doesn't create the damage I was hoping for. It'll do after a few adjustments.
-
mine is nearly done.. just making a kick-ass wedge :P
-
Mine is nowhere near done, I just cant get the damn thing to work....
-
Doom, would you rather take Gaz's bot instead? Spinner Bot has pulled out.
Apologies in advance to anyone who's made their bot already and stuff about the PM I sent.
-
ill try this bot 1 more day, and if it doesnt work ill have to take Gazs bot.
I'll get back to you on that
-
wait.. doesnt that mean GK, you miss out on competing ?
if so let me look into a possible way to AI Endless Existence and me and Doom can swap if I pull it off ;)
-
wait.. doesnt that mean GK, you miss out on competing ?
No. My bot, a rebuild of Spinner Bot's first showcased bot, is already AI'd.
-
ah I got a bit confused with the wild card situation dont mind me :P
-
lol
-
I think i'm almost happy with mine. Still tweaking a bit, and gonna build one more version as a test, but will definately be done by deadline
-
Excellent.
-
Doom, unfortunately, it's a no-go now, Spinner Bot's comp is working again. If you'd be happy doing the swap with Joe, then it's ok.
-
im fine with it...
I will figure out how to AI EE somehow and it saves me fighting the wedge war :P
-
Good thing about a rammer is that I can screw the wedge war :p
And i'll try my best to do ya justice JB, although it tuirns out bear claws are a major pain in the arse to use thanks to their size :rolleyes:
-

Correct. :gawe: That was an awesome match.
Hopefully that won't happen this time around. Besides, VQ2 never needed wedges. =D

Blah. The problems I'm having are testament as to why I hoped I didn't get a drum :P
-
And i'll try my best to do ya justice JB, although it tuirns out bear claws are a major pain in the arse to use thanks to their size :rolleyes:
see when your first legal showcased robot is one that was built to be destroyed there is no pressure for offending the original builder :P
(also I think Wild Cube has surpassed Little Cube in popularity and general known about)

Pwn and FOTPEX are AI'd.
21 bots left....

Still 21 bots left!
4 days left!

hmm did doom say anything about swapping ?
I might send you both entries tomorrow and then AI later when we get an answer from him
-
Doom has not said a thing.

DP:
4 days to go!
21 bots outstanding!
-
I'm going to send my bot in today. I'm skinning and A.I-ing it right now.
-
You guys have just over 2 days left! I'm counting on you 21 people.
-
It will come. Must fire up my stock...

Sending my bot. I am actually happy with the way I made it.
-

people dont have to fight for a place in sign ups so are likely using all their time

Plus, it's Christmas. There will doubtless be family events to go to, and life will once again get in the way. I'm sure they'll have them in at some point, though.

Much like RA2TC, I got a big rush of bots at last minute :P
-
DP: Gaz and GRW in, AI'ing now.
-
Was my AI ok?
-
I dont think I am going to have the time to make a .py for EE :/
-
Hmm... Would you like more time?
-
I dont know when more time will be...
I think we lost a few workers so I have been working every day this week :dead: got Christmas day off but then straight back into working on boxing day.. I even have to spend the first morning of the new year working
money is the only nice consolation (getting paid double for some of those days) but its screwed up my plans to finish Backlash too
-
You send me your popup then. I'll work something out with doom.
-
Expect my bot in less than 8 hours.
-
ok
-
DP: J24, GRW, Gazea and Vertigo, your bots are AI'd and functioning fine.
-
SOD update-
Earlier, I gutted the weapon system and completely rebuilt it, so now the drum sticks out a bit more. Just needs some painting and protection added, and I think it should be good to go.
-
uuuuuuuuuuuuugh what to build
-
Well, an iron FS :P
-
DP:
Following a request from SKBT, the deadline has been extended to the 27th. Enjoy your christmases, but ensure the bots are in by the 27th.
-
OK then. I'm continuing to work on mine as we speak, but I need to get the drum layout and weight distribution just right.
By the way...how was the original Spawn of Drumaphobia from first glance? (It's in my stock showcase)
-
I am currently sickened, probably because I ate something unhealthy today, and my stomach was violently emptied two hours ago.
But no matter ! Such a predicament will not affect the mighty Naryar !
Rapiiid Bit Pull, here i come !

-
I just did the first round draw. Looks spicy. :P

I need to build this! It has the same deadline as BOTM >.>
But BOTM bot is finished, so onto this.

Deadline is now Jan 1 so Sage can get in, but no further extensions will be made.

I have my bot ready. Will send it by the end of today.

My bot is under construction

Mine'll be ready soon. All I have to do now is to fix up the weaponry and add the paintjob, and then I'll send SOD off.

We're halfway there. Not too bad, considering it's Christmas and all.

Spinner Bot will be AI'd any second now.

Does it have to have the same name?

I'd rather it was similar rather than the same.

So what exactly is the deadline for this?

January, I think.

Jan 1.

Good timing! :laughing

Lolfluke.
Actually, you can set your time zone to GTM, and use the counter at the top to find out how long you have left. =D
-
Mine is done, but I cannot skin it, RA2 just Fubar'd on me.
-
Ounce, Marty, Spinner are all AI'd.
-
Well this is an odd situation. I have 1 day to make this bot, somehow.
I've been at a friends for 2 days, while unlucky family had to travel west to pick up this lounge (to which they stayed there over night), problem was, his comp was kinda busted
After they came back, it was grab bags and leave for nans at the coast, for about 5 days. I had a comp there, but no RA2. O, and no internet either.
All kinda sudden, and i was kept in the dark about it. I am sorry about it, and hopefully I can get something built today. Hopefully :/
-
Yikes. Good luck to you.
-
Sent fail bot :mrgreen:
-
Did you see my PM Doom?
-
DP:
Scorpion and Joe are AI'd. PM's will circle later today.
-
Entry sent. Now let's hope it does OK, I've got an Eighth Seeding to live up to.
-
I only hope to progress further than the second round of the Loser's Bracket.

My hope is to beat at least one or two people. Hopefully, Jonzu or NFX will be one of them :evilsmile:

I think I might do well in this, although my bot is untested :(
-
im actually quite happy with my bot.
-
Scrap's bot looks really nice.
-
My bot sucks :laughing
Then again, it turned out making a stock rammmer with bear claws is tricky because of the huge colision mesh of the things!
-
I hate my bot. But I'm still working on it so you never know...

My bots name expresses how I feel about it.

Likewise, I did some final testing on SOD before I sent it, and it's great at shredding the undersides of most of the Starcore 3 AI, especially at tearing off wheels or other external attachments.

Mines holds up surprisingly well against popups for an HS. Weak point is, obviously, the 140cm extenders, but the weapons are fast as heck. =D Good luck killing it.

As a little update, I've decked out SOD in Anti-HS Ploughs on the sides, and it uses Ramplates and Wedges to feed opponents into the weapon. So hopefully, I can stop your Spinner, and then eat it using my drum ;)

High Fracture, so I think they could stand up to HS attacks long enough for the drums to come into play.

But even still, it's created some interesting banter.

Yes...
...yes it has
-
It seems to have. All will be set straight when GK returns. If only I could remember the thread in which it came up. I think it was a showcase somewhere, and he said "Enjoy your 200HP of defense" or something similar.
D'you know what its fracture is, SB?
-
Nope
-
Ah. If the fracture's high enough, it might be some help. And it covers a wider area than a ramplate, so it's better in that sense. Should be a very interesting tournament, especially with some of the designs that have been thrown up.
-
I remember Trov saying that plows have 200 HP and that buzzards are as good as rubbers, but I dont remember where...
-
Snowplows = 1000 HP
-
In Stock? If so, that's relatively sufficient.
-
From my testing they have 1000 HP.
Anyways, I'll start to build now. I have sat enough on my lazy ass these holidays.
-
I think i'll join you nary... less than 2 hours left! Can't beat my record 15 minute tiny trinity BOTM though xD

HAHAHAHA IT LOOKS SO MESSY

Untrue. I, for one, believe Trov.
Also, Nary, you've missed the deadline. If you send before I finish the splash I might turn a blind eye. ;)

Well, that's me snookered then :(

Stock is just a massive wedge war, really. Once you get your wedges sorted out, you're more or less guaranteed a win. It should be a fairly interesting tournament anyhow. =)
-
NFX, your bot has no wedges!
-
Exactly. I'm clearly not going to win, but I'm hoping to do reasonably well with my 24HS with extremely quick weaponry.

True that...but it's quite ironic, isn't it? How what should be one of the strongest weapons is actually very weak on its own :laughing

I know, it usually OOTA's/ Destroys the opponent in 20 seconds, or loses all of its weapons and dies :P

My bot has 28 flail razors on discs, and its not invertible D:
First Round loss here I come

I should point out, GF93, it's only the weapon arms that are brittle. You are not getting through the 4 ramplates on the front, and you are NOT getting through the 7 casters on the bottom. Plus mine looks more awesome. :gawe:

my wedges suck....

But even still, I might be able to use the Ploughs to stop the spinners, then gradually peel it apart from there if we do fight :gunz:

Yes. Did you not see it in my showcase? =P
