In the midst of all these serious tournaments, I thought it would be nice to unwind with a little bit of n00b robots pwning (well....maybe not) each other in battle.
---------
-RULES-
Send in one of your old bots which you think is totally awful, before you joined the forums-age. This means no building robots NOW, just send in OLD ones! If It is too good, I might reject it actually. Middleweights.

Just want everyone to have fun. :P matches will be 4 way rumbles in the octagon, AKA one of the most fun arenas before you joined :P and will be single elimination.

Ok then. I will join.
-
This is stock right, if it is then I'm in.
-
Stock, cause who had DSL? :P
-
I'll join in this, but I'll have to remake it. Lucky I can remember it perfectly XD - Hope this is okay, lol.
-
This is actually a really cool idea. Too bad I don't have any of my old bots =P
-

Awww. I remember your first bot you posted. It had danger signs and stuff but I cant remeber the name.
I found a whole team of old botz on my old computer.
-
All of my post-forum bots were heavyweights. This leaves the problem of trying to make something "assy" . Oh well, I'll figure it out.
-
Do you guys want this HWs or MWs? Most people made HWs as I remember, so Maybe I could change it.
-
I made HWs.
-
I'm in:approve:, I think I got a pretty awful stock bot sense I'm awful at stock lol;)
-
Did you make it before you joined the forums?
-
Did you make it before you joined the forums?
ya and it's a MW i don't have any HW. I've never really played stock that much to begain with, I just started again when RAW2 started. As soon as I joined the forums I installed DSL(which I like way better)
-
hmm sounds cool
-
Yay!
If any vets want to enter, I'd appreciate it. ;D
-
I have a LW that sucks very badly - I think it was the first bot I ever built after regaining interest in the game, cause I lost all my old bots years ago. But I could probably re-create the HW I used to call "Pwnage". It had six ramming spikes, Red-bird 4WD, and two sledgehammers on two DDTs.
-
Rules updated a bit...
-
is it MW'S or HW'S???
-
MWs, but if enough people want it to be HW, I'll change it.
-
MWs, but if enough people want it to be HW, I'll change it.
ight:smiley:.
-
Just noticed I have a ton of bots in my old USB. So I'll join.
-
Haha! I have a few of my first bots. I would like to join this tourney. If you let me join, I will submit "Blue Thunder". It is a pretty cool looking flipper bot...
But, it is a flipper bot. It won't do much damage at all. heh.
-
*has checked the front page* am i not allowed to join? eh, never mind XD
-
I thought you only had HWs..?
-
well I'll try to find something to enter so Im in
-
I had a MW or 2. XD but mainly HW. that's what I should've said.
-
I made a MW. Don't worry. I looked at BBEANS1 for inspiration. It IS a "fail". But it looks awesome before I even skinned it.
-
I'll remake Tiger Claw Jr. Make it extra chitty
-
Guys, do you have the originals? I'm kinda leaning towards not making new bots that are awful.
-
Guys, do you have the originals? I'm kinda leaning towards not making new bots that are awful.
I've been through 3 total formats and 2 computer changes since my originals, which aren't the right weight class anyway.
-
Guys, do you have the originals? I'm kinda leaning towards not making new bots that are awful.
I don't have the originals, but I remember them very well. Good times :D
-
OK, but next season I'm not sure if I'll allow that...
-
Sounds perfect for me :P
Im in.
-
I never built a MW before i joined the forums :P
Even now i only have a few (Less than 10)
-
Oh well.
Jack, you're bot's AIed and flipping fine. :P
-
Just sent a bot in.
-
Red, did you make this just now? Or before the forums? I sure hope it's the latter...
This includes the original forums.
-
Made it in 5 minutes. Because like I said, I went through 3 full formats and 2 computer changes, and the bots aren't even the right weight class anyway.

-RULES-

I'd like people to follow these rules next time (and this time) Please. Red, you went through the trouble of sending me a robot already so I'll let it slide, but all you other guys, please follow this.
-
Daah.. I knew but if you think about it... how many still have their first bots?
-
I know....I might revise the rules a bit next time.
Red, your robot is really cool, it would be awesome in DSL.
-
I'll join, but since I lost all my bots, can I recreate one of my old bots? I'll try to get it in soon, because I'm going on vacation tomorrow, but I'm bringing my laptop.
-
I guess...
-
I still have all my bots.....do I have to go back to 2003 for my noob bot?
-
I guess...
I'll make it as close to the original as possible!
-
I still have all my bots.....do I have to go back to 2003 for my noob bot?
Sure. :P
-
I didnt have any OLD bots, othen than my HW MYSTERY, so I remade one of my old HWs that I remembered into a MW. Im going to ai it tomorrow and send it after that.
-
I'll join!
-
Add me, it sounds like fun.
-
Awww. I remember your first bot you posted. It had danger signs and stuff but I cant remeber the name.
REIER I FOUND THE BOT SCRAP WAS TALKING ABOUT!!! Please let me enter!!! Its even a mw:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38577dangerofdeath.PNG)
Thats clearly the original.

Thats clearly the original.
is it a flipper or popup? looks cool though:approve:.
-
I liked the one that was a SHW :p
and thats totally not Rolo
-
I would be glad to join in but my history is a bit unusual. You all know my first bots. They are Starcore v1.
My earliest bots from before I joined the forums were Tempest Fugit (LW), Maelstrom (HW) (My first bot), Alien Queen (HW) and Borg Queen(HW).
I have various MW bots from 2003 and 2004 but they are all from slightly after I joined the forums.
I hit the ground running...sounds like you would reject anything I have to submit.
Starcore

Ehh....IDK Kill. :P Looks too good! :O
SC, I'd be honored to have you join, but I think you are right, your first bots seem too good to be put in. I really thank you for wanting to join though! =)
-
sign me up :) Im likely going to use my first ever mw I built when I first join the forums (which is the second one I ever built :P)
-
Hey guys....I'm gonna do a wildcard bracket like CC2, I have one more space, hurry!
-
And im in, I shall use one of my bots that i though was steller. Till i found this forum. Still have it though :)
-
Reier one question, did you ever finish RRR1 ?
-
For Starcore, it's MW, so I'm going to say WAN mower.
Should we make it newbies only next time? you know, for people who Haven't gotten REALLY good yet?
-
Is there any more spaces? Unfortunately I cannot send a bot I made before joining the forums because I joined before I got the game but I will send an early bot.
-
Devastating One
Weight – middleweight 392.2
Power – Supervolt
Drive – reversible angle motors (4)
Armor – DSA
Weapon – Maces (9) on a Tribar
Strengths – Powerful weapon
Weakness – ricochets when hitting an opponent
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/midlbot1.gif)
my entry, the second ever MW I ever built, I built it within the first 1 or 2 days of joining the forum SnS/HS hybrid (although at the time I knew it as a hold space bar/right arrow key hybrid :P)
-
Sent my bot to you Reier. Will put a pic up later when I have time.
EDIT: Here it is -
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21048screenshot.bmp)
Sorry about .bmp and not cropping, only have enough time to take the shot and upload before I have to go out.
-
Nice :D
I hope I face you :P
Mine is CRAZY WHEELIE SAWBOT
Try to quess what it does?
-
Reier hurry up and clear up your pm inbox :P I wanna send my entry XD
-
Err, MM.....I think DK signed up before you.
JB: About RRR1, I have filmed all the matches, but youtube won't upload the Grand Final for some reason...
Hate to break this to you, but I think your MW might be...too good for this tourney..><
This one is kinda on the borderline but I think I will accept it if you still have it:
(http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s36/westcoastdrags/bot3.gif)
-
too good?? :-D:-D:-D I take that as a compliment since it is my second ever MW and the one you posted ^^ is the first I ever made XD I can see but I think the game may have killed it a while back lol
-
That's fine Reier. Can I enter if somebody doesn't send their bot though?
-

nice bot JB, I think you might have just one the tourney unless you get pitted or flipped upside down;).
-
Just a little tidbit: The awards other than the winner will the "The most n00bish bot" award and "Your favorite bot" award.
-
this is...so dumb on so many levels
-
Then it's good you didn't enter.
-
Yeah it's obviously dumb Infinite. I mean, when the whole waiting list and the wildcard bracket gets filled up and there is a waiting list within two days of the topic... Yeah. Come on, It's just a break from seriousness so everyone can have a laugh at each other and the tourney will have no arguements because it is just a bit of fun. A good idea if you ask me.
-
Yeah. It feels good to be without the pressures of trying to make a bot that's competent in today's growing expectations.
-
For Starcore, it's MW, so I'm going to say WAN mower.
Should we make it newbies only next time? you know, for people who Haven't gotten REALLY good yet?
Oh my! I had forgotten WAN mower. I would have to check if that was mine or built by one of my kids.
But it does look like the registrations are locked and no room for me to join in anymore.

You can be on the backup list.
-
AOTST
You'd be surprised how many times I've been called that.
-
You'd be surprised how many times I've been called that.
You have??
-
So we have to AI it then?
-
I'd appreciate it, but you don't have to if you can't.
-
My bot is so old it is underweight, has empty space and uses spiked clubs for weapons.....and has granny wheels instead of shiny hub.........I is a n00b
(http://myfolderz.com/ACAMS/RA2/Fortress.jpg)
-
^^Please note the sarcasm in that statement. I almost rejected it cause it was too good for a n00b bot.
-
That bot is older than lra2
Had it been HW instead of MW I could have entered the bot I built the first day I got the game (March or April 2003).
-
Yeah, I've seen that. This, right?
http://myfolderz.com/ACAMS/RA2/destroyer.jpg
http://myfolderz.com/ACAMS/RA2/1st-2.jpg
-
Yes, but it got instantly destroyed.....so I made this one on the same day...
I don't remember what the 3rd one was.
(http://myfolderz.com/ACAMS/RA2/hammerhead.jpg)
-
reier, just gota ai my bot and send it to ya, expect it in a little while.
Ps, it sucks :mrgreen:
-
Good. :mrgreen:
-
I cant believe it. The first bot I ever built, just defeated OVERROAD
What the heck......
Edit: just sent in my noob bot
-
Is my bot N00by enough?
-
Fortress dosen't look bad at all(I like the skin too),looks like another tough one to beat;).
-
Just sent in my n00b bot from my old AI Pack lol, so it should qualify as N00bish XD.
-
Umm...registration is kinda full....but you can be a backup if someone doesn't send in their bot....
-
I just have to AI it, expect it tommorow.
-
Sure, that's fine lol. Yeah, I was kinda late to see this lol.
-
I see my name listed as backup. Glad to be such. Let me know if and when you need me to send a bot in.
Starcore
-
put me to backups... I have my first bot which is my oldest bot in my history of RA2
-
Ok, last probable backup. Cause if I add one more and they get in it would only be if someone wanted their bot they sent in already out of the tournament for some reason. =P
-
I'll be a backup.
But i have a prob.
my entry is wedgeflip.
But he has now got iron spikes on the back and no longer has the powered turning unit.
Primission to be a back up?
-
I guess, but there's a 99.99999 % chance you won't get in.
-
Here is my bot... It is a flipper... it will lose to just about anything with a weapon. I originally made it because it was fun to use in tournaments and I would just flip bots all over the place and send them into hazards. I highly doubt it will beat anything in this tourney unless hazards are on my side. Hahah.
Screenshot of fail:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69755blue thunder.JPG)
Ballasts... empty space... fixed weapons on mounting points... so much fail.
-
Your bot is one of my favorites, Jack. Just reminds me of something.
It's about in the middle of the NW1 goodness scale, more on the upper end.
-
I'll try to send in my bot tomorrow.
-
Hmm.
I lost my wedgeflip.
So either i'm screwed,or i remake it.
-
LRA2, you are not going to be in this tourney!
-
The first bot I ever posted was a LW, and it was a flipper called Zippy on the old forums. It used good chassis space too surprisingly. Whatever I'll just make a new bot for the tourney.
-
Uhhh?
Send in one of your old bots which you think is totally awful, before you joined the forums-age. This means no building robots NOW, just send in OLD ones!
OOPS.
-

OOPS.
Who said the bot I build won't suck?
-
I would like a pre-built one, but if you have to make a replica that's ok. I'd appreciate it if you don't build a totally new one though.
-
Just sent my entry.
-
This is a great idea for a tournament. I would totally enter if there was space; I played RA2 for at least a year before joining the forums, so I have a lot of old bots that would be fun to bust out. Please do another one when this is over.
If I wasn't doing BBEANS all the time, I was thinking about doing something similar, only it would be a "Classic Bots" tournament where you have to enter a classic-style bot (not necessarily an old one).
Basically it would be no glitches allowed, no stacking allowed, no AI parts or Snapper II's allowed, and if you use small wedges, your bot has to be a pure flipper with no damaging weapons.
Something for the distant future...
-
All my old bots got deleted when I got a new disc.

Darn! I was about to do that this December. Oh well, gotta tweak the rules for now. XD
-
All my old bots got deleted when I got a new disc.
So do you have to pull out? =(
-
If he do's,I'll rig up an old bot.
-
Dude, you're 5th on the waiting list. The only way you'll get in is to have someone who already sent in their bot request to take it out.
-
Ill join. I can create a replica of my first bot.
That is, if someone should happen to pull out...
-
Reier,did you get my bot? Just asking cause the front page says I haven't yet..I just wanna be sure.
-
Not really. I'll just make a 3 minute bot.
-
Reier,did you get my bot? Just asking cause the front page says I haven't yet..I just wanna be sure.
Yeah I got it. Sorry.
-
That's not really an old bot though is is 40757? Surely you can find a single MW that was from a long time ago?
-
S.T.C., your bot crashes my game, does it have a custom component or anything?
-
Nope. I completely erased my old RA2 when I got the disc version.
-
S.T.C., your bot crashes my game, does it have a custom component or anything?
no not really it only uses
Slipperbottoms
Pink Batteries
HP Zteks
DDTs
Spike Strips
Big Volt
Control Board
-
Well, it crashes. Could you post it so I can see it please?
-
(http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii247/firestorm94/screenshot_1.jpg)
there ya go
-
How is your bot a MW at 400.0 kilos?
-
wow,when I built it,it was 397 kilos
-
Well you have 2 control boards in your menu, which one did you use?
-
thy're both the same
-
maybe, maybe not. Use the first one.
-
just a stab in the dark S.T.C. but I have a copy of RA2 with similar components to yours (the custom ones) and there is a pink battery called SBT or something similar ?
-
Yeah, i remeber that, there was a similar battery like that.
Maybe it was, STC, by any chance are you running the RW AI Pack? (Or anything by alphasim?)
-
Used to have the RWAI pack,but all of the pink batteries are the stock ones.I'll just rebuild the bot and send it again
-
Just telling you guys I'll be gone Tomorrow through the 8th.
Later...
-
See ya.
-
byee
P.S: Sent the bot again
-
Reier, use apanx's exporter for finding out the names of custom parts. Then you can edit the .bot file to replace them with stock parts. I've gotten a few bots for BBEANS where I needed to do that. As long as the custom parts use the same gmf as stock parts, there's no problem.
Darn! I was about to do that this December. Oh well, gotta tweak the rules for now. XD
Go on ahead, if you were going to do a tournament like that. It's not like I'll get around to it within the next two years anyway. Besides, I still have other tournament ideas for after BBEANS6. AW's and BW's, for instance.
Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention "No DSA" as part of the Classic Bots rules. That should be an important one. Titanium and steel, here we come!

With what you said Click, I've actually been thinking of a tournament that is absolutely realistic, based off of Battlebots. The robots will have to weight 340 Pounds in game (battlebots SHW), no DSA allowed, and certain bot types (i.e.: popups, crawlers, flail spinners) will not be allowed, because they are not ever implemented in real life.
-
funny, I was planning on doing something like that with DSL before I decided to do the jousting tournament.. I wanted like a realistic looking tournament meaning things like chassis wedges, no excessive armour, etc so they looked like replica robots (I had some of whams RR replicas in mind when thinking about it)
-
0_0
Weird...
-
flail spinners will not be allowed, because they are not ever implemented in real life.
For the record, one version of mauler was a flail shell spinner with maces at the end of chains. But I do see your point, and it makes sense.
-
Flail shell spinners use the Trinity glitch anyways, so not realistic.
-
Flail shell spinners use the Trinity glitch anyways, so not realistic.
How so?
-
Well when they're at full speed, the flail's axles do come out of they sockets (the faster the thing spins, the farther they come out), and that, while increasing damage, is unrealistic.
Basically same process as the Trinity glitch, but a lesser form.
-
it would be realistic if the axels were on springs. it shows that ra2 can do centrifugal force
-
flail spinners will not be allowed, because they are not ever implemented in real life.
Also for the record, there is a SHW called Stump Grinder that has a horizontal spinning bar with flailing ends. Looks kind of like a green Tombstone with flails. Then there was another SHW called Thresher that had dual vertical spinning bars with flails. I saw them both compete at Mechwars.
Then there was Scrap Daddy Surplus in Battlebots that totally should have beaten Wedge of Doom--it was a SnS with a ball and chain.
So they're rare, but they DO exist in real life.
Edit: Oh, and also there was one version of Tortoise (a SHW shell spinner in Battlebots) that had flails.
-
i saw one that was a shell spinner that had hammer like things on it and had locks on chains that went further out so the enemy would get hit with those without slowing the main weapon down.

I think that's S.L.A.M. from Battlebots.
-
I believe that Mauler 51-50 was a flail shell spinner. Also, there was a heavyweight or middleweight VS in Battlebots that had flailing weapons too.

Greenspan? That one looked like it might have little flails from the way it fought, but I couldn't find any good pics to be certain.
ANYWAYS. The point is, flail spinners do exist in real life. We should stop flooding the N00b Warz thread now.
-
I believe that Mauler 51-50 was a flail shell spinner.
yeah it was, one broke off in the fight against bigger brother and that triggered the famous mauler dance
-
I'll send in my bot later today. I've been busy lately.
-
DEADLINE IS SET TO SEPT. 11TH, 9:00 AM CENTRAL TIME! Ribbs, 40757, get yours in please, or I'll have to have a backup replace you.
-
Welcome back lol
so did my bot work,Reier?
-
RIBBS and 40757 get your dam bots in we are all waiting for you;).
-
I think I forgot to change the armor on mine. Just make it steel.
-
Sure, I'll try to remember... :P
RIBBS GET UR BAWT IN PLZ
-
srry for asking again but,did you finally get my bot working?
-
Haven't tested it yet, sorry.
-
oh,well if it doesn't work then just tell me when you can..cause I have no idea why that keeps happening =/
-
W00t 411 b075 1n!!
Expect some videos/splash in a few days guys.
PS STC, I haven't tested yours yet, I'll fill you in if it doesn't work.

yay:-D:-D:-D.
-
40757, STC, your bots both have quite a few custom parts and it is really hard to sort it out...
40757: Your bot appears to have Sage's skin pack or something...the folders seem to be a bit goofed up too.
STC: Your bot has DSL spike strips.
I've gotten STC's bot to work, but 40757's bot is kinda complicated. Can you please resend it?
-
DSL spike strips?..OOH I know why,sorry bout that
-
No prob, I got it fixed. 40757's it too complex for me though.
-
what do you mean..maybe I can help out
-
Has quite a few slightly custom components like Sage's Skins...IDK why I can't fix it.
-
my game has a s**tload of custom components (I barely use them now,mostly for AIs) I can try and fix it
-
I fiiiixed it already! It's 40757's bot. Unless you are talking about that.
-
40757s bot,not mine,but now that I think bout it,maybe its best to let 40757 fix it
-
hay will there be a rumble 4 backups???
just wanna know bcuz i sent my bot and i want to see it face off against someone else. :grin:
-
Yeah I was in a rush to send the bot and didn't really think about it. It's Sage's skinned HP Z-Tek
-
Finally! Everybody's bots are in! :D
-
Finally! Everybody's bots are in! :D
Onxe again, the anticipation is killing me!

All bots AIed!! =D
Need to do the splash then expect some matches.
-

Yay!! :-D
Edit: Reier, my bot was facing the wrong way, did you fix that?
-
Yes I did. Almost done with the splashes.
-
Yes I did. Almost done with the splashes.
nice:approve:.

can't wait!
-
Me neither lol
-
