DAM,I change my mind and R0B0 has the last spot.

Well, maybe someone will let you be their partner.

If I knew what his bot would be, I'd think about it. Then again, I'm actually going for (and feeling I have a chance of getting) the highest prize.

SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED.

If you are not on the list and really want to compete, post your name and hope someone will agree to be your partner. You an ask certain people if you want.

As for bots, spend this week building and tweaking and perfecting and then NEXT week you may send them. If you have extra time or already have your bots done, spend this week AIing your bots. This will hep me out a ton and make the tourney start much faster. It's really not hard, but I will do it for you if you feel you can't AI your own bot.

Thanks.

I'll be anybodies partner if I like their bot (I'm picky). I'll be using my bot Seism 16 (It's entered in Doomed bots).

Wait, why can't we have one 500 kg bot and one 300 kg bot?

man manu · « **Reply #67 on:** August 17, 2009, 04:03:12 PM »

or 4 250kg bots?

Because then someone could just make a 700kg HS and a chassis with wheels and there's a good chance the HS would rape everything.

You're an idiot for even asking that.

Personally, I think a better rule would be that a robot cannot exceed 60% of the total weight (480 kg). This way, there's a little more strategy involved (do I make one big bot and one little one? Or do I make two balanced ones?) and I think that it would cut down on the number of "duplicate" multibots (both are the same).

Well,my bots are done now I have to wait.

Might have to backout on this one, moving to college I seemed to lose my RA2 cd.

You have built a lot of stuff... Do you have a couple of middleweights that you think might work well together? Would be a shame to lose a builder of your calibur in the tourney.

pyscolone · « **Reply #73 on:** August 17, 2009, 06:53:38 PM »

Sage or Inf might have a few of my bots, but unfortunatly I didn't bring my computer from home so I have nothing RA2 related on my new laptop.

If you have any installed copy of RA2 to work from you can put on a USB stick or Burn to CD etc and put on other PCs as needed or even run from USB.

As to needing the CD to run RA2 as I recall the 1.3 patch on the RA2 Webpage made it so you didn't need the CD any more to run.

Though my memory may be failing on some of this...

So your suffering from builders block. My advice would be to just take a break off from the game for a day or so, and then come back and see if you can come up with something.

I just go online or showcases to get ideas.
