well my bot turned out to ****ing suck, maybe i'll rebuild it for a future stock tourney

I absolutely loved filming your bot, it's great. Livened up every match it was in.

Also,

@Mystic: I want to see it with some shorter, curved, lighter hammers and you may be in business. You have a lot of weight sooooo far up that throws it off balance, and could be fixable.

if i want the hammers to be lighter then i'll have to change from battleaxes to something else, which will defeat the purpose of this bot s'existence

Battleaxes are straight up not viable as weapons in stock. I rebuilt Bloody Murder myself and used razors instead of battleaxes.

AS wheres your sense of cool

Mr. AS · « **Reply #125 on:** July 29, 2015, 01:51:32 PM »

Battleaxes are pretty cool as armor.

battleaxes are always cool

They just suck

lol but battleaxes used seriously as weapons in stock...

Next 2 bonus videos are up!

First one contains 090901's 3 requested matches - TEH CLAW vs Shaver BX, Magnificent Mandrill vs Bloody Massacre and Clown Breath vs the byebot in the Small Arena. Lots of good fights in this one - 09's good at this matchup thing.

Second one - Cube Crusher vs Crush, then Somebody's BTTB 3 bot 0_o_0 which was also a spinner/hammer vs Crush, and as there were no more requests, an extra match I thought of myself. Naryar features.

As for the schedule for the rest of the tourney...

- Tomorrow - LB Final
- Friday - Last set of extra videos (Rebuild Rumble)
- Saturday - Grand Final and Rumbles (Yep, Rumbles. Doing a champions' rumble with Nuclear Fallout, Grade-4 Whiplash and the BTTB V champ)

Oh hey, a reference to a BTTB Revamped. Heh. Nice touch.

Also, slightly off topic, but did you change the status messages? It looks like the power section has gotten some change. That or I am seeing some weird things... again.

Well, it's the reason I'm back on GTM, I've got to acknowledge it somehow. Would have liked to have made more but as it's a tourney with new bots there's not really scope for many references.

LOL I clearly filmed this in the wrong version of Stock. My combined RA2 copies must be over 20GB on this old home PC, so I resolved to condense it down a bit. Just have one copy of stock, merge all the robot designs folders and rotate the AI folders. As it would be a personal version of stock I've started a personal UI as well - I created a cementbackground like the BBEANS AI one except it just features my stock bots that have defined the 6 years I've played RA2. Most of these are showcased bots or tourney entries, except the popup and the HS in the square above the 3 BTTB bots, the BFE popup in the top centre square, and then my stupid flying SFTW thing/my current BOTM entry top left.

That's one of the only decent UI things I did though - most of it's plastering 'GK' all over the place, especially the credits. And yeah, the status thing has changed to this:

These matches should have been filmed in my Inf AI where the UI is normal, but it doesn't really matter.

No, I meant Wheely Tag, not BTTB 3.
