What happened to the Splash? It looks kind of messed up, and the robots look somewhat incomprehensible. Also, where's Silverback on the splash?
Why did you rip off Craaig's splash? Just asking.
And I haven't known of any other people to use a 'bye-bot' apart from me... heh.
*actually feels kinda ripped off*
ELBITE.
i think that sonny's bot is one of the most realistic bots in the tourny although others are very good also.
i dont think mine is that good.
I think it's good! I was actually a little bit worried about potentially fighting a big spinner like yours (IE. Last Rites, Warhead and Pulveriser were the ones I was most worried about), if I can be honest with you.
Oh, and what do you think of my Cassius II replica? :smile:
I wanted to make some predictions... but, what arena is this going to be in again?
You defo did your part to make it farly accurate. I don't know what that DSL dar in front is doing there, but other than that, good job. There are a few replicas here that I would not have accepted, had I been in charge of admissions.
Ok, time for my thoughts:
Crabmeat: Joke entry.
Ok, time for my thoughts:
Forstbite: Fairly good arsenal, but 4WD on a rammer? Might be at a disadvantage
The Revolutionist: Looks sturdy, but I think Joe said it was an SnS? If do, it's in trouble, if not, still up in the air, given its 1st round opponents
PulverizeR: I found it to be a very effective flipper in testing, its ability to gutrip makes it one to watch.
Fluffy: Pretty average in terms of potency
Cassius: Should make semifinals easily if the flipper's as powerful as I've heard.
Turbo: A hardy shell spinner that will probably make it to semi's.
FrenZy: Somewhat lacking in power
Supernova: Completely exposed chassis will be its downfall.
Odin: Looks pretty good, bars can be a tough weapon
Sharkbyte: Not easy to flip, but weaponry leaves something to be desired
Crabmeat: Joke entry.
New Cruely: Rammers don't usually fare well in a spinner-saturated torunament, but it has 6wd, that could help.
Toro: I can't see what kind of motor it's using, but I'll asuume it can hold its own.
Bigger Brother: Not visually appealing, doesn't llok too powerful either,
Last Rites: Another good one.
Plunderbird 5: Underweaponed, which will probably be its downfall.
Warhead: Very cheap, Warhead did not have that many spikes. Last I checked, there were two on the disc, not eight.
Destructive Criticism: Undersized disc, oversized wheels, this one's the SFTW.
Disector: Love the design, but doesn't look like it's much of a fighter.
Diablo: Looks terrible, but it's plenty overloaded to win a match.
Silverback: If it can OotA, it's a threat. If not, it's a byebot.
Ok, time for my thoughts:
Forstbite: Fairly good arsenal, but 4WD on a rammer? Might be at a disadvantage
;)Woohoo! Hopefully ill have the luck of the Irish with me!
Frostbite is a drum, not a rammer. anyway, i'm currently uploading Fight 1.
Upload on youtube.
Go to WMM add some effects, export, then upload.
thats what I did its like a WMMVV file or something like that
What's the channel name? so i can sub to get vids
Why do you wish to know?
It's bodabem
Awwww. Can't we just go with: "Form over Funtion" ? :D
I will laugh until I wet myself if I win a match. Sonny's assessments of the bots are pretty much Spot-on. Though I forsee a ton of upsets if bots end up out of the arena. I kinda wish I had taken the time to make a flipper bot now.
Edit:
Predictions:
Cassius 2
Plunderbird
Pulverizer
Frostbite
Revolutionist
Supernova
Fluffy
Toro
oh look.
the wheels on that pic.
lol.
anyway thats a mighty looking bot and im afraid that if i face it if get destroyed.
youtube
EDIT actually it's still saving... it's taking FOREVER:pissd:
How come it took so many hits to damage Cassius 2?
DC's weapon is a small disc with 2 DSL teeth. Not terribly effective at causing damage. And I assume that Goldenfox used the toughest armour he could afford within the weight limit, which would be pretty tough stuff.
Sorry if im being annoying but can i ask how cassius2 won?
He used Battlebots-style scoring, which takes damage, agression, and strategy into account. You did fair in the damage catergory, but I imagine Cassius beat you out in the other two.
Warhead- Best HS of the competition by far. It looks great, makes good damage and if it can self right it's going to be awesome.
Lol I think you will be disappointed by the actual performance. The Hypno Disk pretty much blocks me from making hit so I end up dealing hardly any damage. I also don't know how to write a custom AI to self right using servos (so while I can self right it, the AI can't). I think fluffy would most like take the first match in my bracket.
OK but was their any need to call my robot the SFTW?:?: P.S Naryar YOU INSULTED ME TWICE!
i dunno, in testing it beat almost all of the bots out there. you guys are underestimating Warhead.
Crabmeat- Nothing against Jack, but... fail.
New Cruelty- To my building standards it is a fail bot but it looks pretty decent in that competition. Probably going to end OOTA'ed by one of these ghey flippers though.
I thought this tounrament was about making the best looking replica? Quite a few people are changing the design of the original bot to make it combat effective which is really annoying...

Well since you asked, I wasn't impressed by your bot, as a fighter or a replica. The wheels are huge and completely exposed, I didn't think it stood much of a chance.
In terms of accuracy, I give it a 4/10. Here is a picture of Destructive Criticism:
http://www.team-x-bots.com/robotwars/pics/pits/Pit42_DestructiveCriticism_RandyEubanks.jpg (http://www.team-x-bots.com/robotwars/pics/pits/Pit42_DestructiveCriticism_RandyEubanks.jpg) Now, here are all the differences I spotted:
It's brown, not green
There is a wire frame protecting the wheels
The wheels are smaller than Mud Runners
It has 3 teeth, not 2
There are no "fang" decals carelessly slapped across the top panel. (FYI, 9 times out of 10, edgeline and decals on a replica = fail)
im 12 by the way and u wouldnt see me complaining if someone called my robot not very good.
if u want ill make a version od dc to show that u just have to try.
no need to go of your head.
Cassius II- Wedge fail. The flipper doesn't looks very convincing as well.
But i think it`s not mainly about winning matches. it`s about rebuilding existing robots as close as possible.
I understand that, but he also insulted how it looks. I mean, it was best looks I could get with the restrictions of the rule of Seven (I actually wrote "RULE OF SEVEN SUCKS" on the baseplate of my entry!), with it also being an effective weapon for fighting with.
He wasnt laughing at your bot, he was laughing at the wedge. You put a dsl bar on a hinge which may have made your wedge worse. hahahaah
The AIing of Diesector is... well you know.
What happens if you win the losers' bracket?
I need to switch to a different AI Pack to get my Revolutionist AI
I hope they'll be a second replica wars!there will be a second Replica wars. You're the second person to ask me that, Natef.
you copied the FBS_1 into the AI folder ?
renamed the bot file, Bot(then a number)?
and put the bindings line I sent you in the same team position as the bot file ?
or was there more you did ? Im just asking so I can help solve this problem for next time
you get to fight the normal bracket winner to determine the Replica Wars Champion!
its me vs my little brother, with Revolutionist thrown in to keep the match exciting, even though El Diablo Grande is slower than a dead snail in superglue.
strange the revolutionist wasn't that unstable on my game ?
Anyways i think i have a pretty good shot at the loser's bracket, depending of my opponent at round 3.
The more I look at this thread, the more I wonder if 12345678910STW knows what Replica means...
Oh just shut it.
He spent a few hours on his damn entry while you did NOTHING.
Back on topic:
Hey Badnik, do you know when we can expect Fight 6?
expect the next fight tomorrow
Stop whacking him guys. Unlike all of you, he started a tournament. It'll be done, even if it takes a little more time.
I suggest making a good AI line for the bot and send it to him when he gets back. He can probably just throw your bot in the last match in place of the Bye bot. I can't see anyone objecting to that.
Just asking, when is the next fight going to be up?
ressetis replica of pulveriser is amazing!
golden fox, you have no shance of winning unless someone beats him or if you OOTA him
yeah i suppose but its hard to OOTA him with a forward-hinge flipper
oh and sorry to
I dunno Staggy, he almost got me out a few times.
it needs to be heavier put some ballasts in it or something
can i send a late entry to swap with silverback?
I love that flail effect on Warhead's tail.
And the match as well :bigsmile:
Also, Replacing Silverback in Fight 8 will be Stagfish's Terror Turtle.
oh no i just realised im againts Toro and Last rites(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1219epic_diving_fail.jpg)
:O has anyone noticed there is a curse on tourneys and computer problems at the moment ?
lol listen to my post :P
try it in window form then if it crashes in full screen
Fraps responds differently with windows and full screen
window form will be less load on your computer then full screen which might just be the issue
Nothing for nothing, but did you see how much damage she did to Forstbite after she lost a wheel? I thought for sure I had this one in the bag. She's usually pretty good a feigning mobility with one wheel, it must have been because she was trapped in a corner.It's a shame about your loss, Sonny. I mean, I actually had you down as the favourite, and one of the few I'd find impossible to beat! Oh well, you put up a good fight, and that replica is still the best-looking I've seen so far.
But them's the breaks. Good luck to Cassius; that's the one I want to win if not myself.
Congrats joe, the better bot won.Thanks, Ashman! I don't know why people like my Cassius II so much, to be honest., but I am happy with how it performs though! Thanks for the kind comments!
I'm just happy to have got past round 1.
Wishing the other competitors luck.
I'm wanting Cassius 2/the revolotionist/last rights or warhead to win
sorry to say GF but the revolutionist will be stable :P I want to try and sort out the issue as I don't think its fair if its just left ? its obviously hindering the robot
I just dont understand why it does it in Badniks game, try a new DSL 2.1 game and AI it in there ?
Just hope a flipper doesn't :PBut I'm the only flipper left in the Winners Bracket.
sorry to say GF but the revolutionist will be stable :P I want to try and sort out the issue as I don't think its fair if its just left ? its obviously hindering the robotI don't have anything against Revolutionist's stability being fixed. I personally think it'll make our next battle a fairer fight.
I just dont understand why it does it in Badniks game, try a new DSL 2.1 game and AI it in there ?
Naryar's just upset because a "combat" bot that doesn't do any damage at all might win, GF.
YO DAWG I HERD U LIKE FIXIN' SO I PUT A FIXED IN YO FIX SO YOU CAN BAWWW WHILE YOU BAWWWNaryar's just upset because a bot that doesn't do any damage at all might win, GF.
Fixed
I have the footage to the next fight (Warhead vs Last Rites) but I am working on something with my little brother right now and I'm kinda tired right now :P I'll probably get it up around Saturday or Sunday.OK then, at least I know what's happening now. Thanks Badnik! :bigsmile:
I knew I was gonna lose.
I stopped the loser bracket due to the fact I want to finish this tourney before 2011.Admittedly, I'm not sure it'd take that long, Badnik.
I will do grudge matches at the end...Ooooh, Grudge Matches?
Gf93, could you send a Cassius 2 without the AI parts?OK. I'll need to keep the Judge Burst Motor on, though. I need that for the weapon to be effective. Is that OK?
GF93, it works now. Sorry about the trouble. Turns out you used a Lu-Tze Door Hinge instead of a DSL door hinge.Ah, OK then.
In other news, the Semi-Finals fight 1 is uploading. The tourney should be done by next week.
For grudge matches, yes.GF93, it works now. Sorry about the trouble. Turns out you used a Lu-Tze Door Hinge instead of a DSL door hinge.Ah, OK then.
In other news, the Semi-Finals fight 1 is uploading. The tourney should be done by next week.
Could I send my refined version anyway, for the Grudge Matches, and in case I win my match?
double post :OCool. So the playoff is next, is it? I'll be looking forward to it.
Semi-Final 2 is UP!

Semi-Final 2 is UP!
Also, could I have a list of the Wild Card applicants so far?
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Hyp2.zip (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/Hyp2.zip) Bot for grudge matches.
I am disappointed to see Revolutionist unfixed as too I am about the loss via pinningSo it looks like you're up against me next then, right? :bigsmile:
still couldnt loose to a nicer guy and and more awesome robot, go for gold 123 :mrgreen:
Joe: you have to belive in the heart of the game!
I'm gonna enter! I might take this chance to see The Spider's fighting ability.
yeah and its going to cost me that match since Badnik didnt fix RevolutionistDon't worry about it, man. There's a chance for either of us to win.
I cant see you loosing against an unstable, non invertible sns with a flipper
Joe VS GF93 will all rely on Cassius's driving. If he drives well Joe will probably end immobile, if Joe flanks him he's toast.Nary, it's up.
yes on both accounts, so pick your 5 bots:Thank you! In which case, I'll pick-
Serial Bot Killer
Mjolnir
Chiabot
Chopper
Subject to Change Without Reason
Green Dragon (S2 and S3 versions)
Revision Z
Shaft
F5
Mauler 5150
Silverback
Sharkbyte
The Brute
Falcon MK.ll
And I will send them to you. Send your updated Cassius ASAP.
Great job GF93!Thanks, Nate!
sorry Gf93. I lost Mauler 5150 and Sharkbyte. Pick two others, please. Oh, And I also have Sunshine Lollibot.Drat. In this case, I'll choose F5 and Sunshine Lollibot, then.
And zog, I gotta upload the final and get all of the wildcard competitors first!
Sorry G93, I made the prizes like half a year ago and I only have like a third of the original bots! DX So it turns out I lost STCWOR too. (Sorry if it seems I'm being evil, I'm just tring to find the bots!)Don't worry about the replicas, man. You're doing a great job on the tournament as it is! :approve:
You know what? Screw the replicas. In ten minutes I will have an actual prize for the top 3.
it will be:
Veterans (people who competed in the actual tournament) vs Newbies (people who didn't compete).
That was about what I was expecting, though Frostbite had a lot more control of the middle of the fight than I thought it would. More weapon HP and I might have won it.You put up a good fight there, I thought.
That was about what I was expecting, though Frostbite had a lot more control of the middle of the fight than I thought it would. More weapon HP and I might have won it.That was a tight match.
Are you still doing awards?I hope so. What categories were you thinking of? My ideas include-
I think those would be done after the wildcards.OK, we were just wondering.
I took Delldog that I build for the RWW, so I think that`s no prob. And why not reusing robots? I may enter with one robot more than one tourney if the rules match.
Edit:
if there won`tbe enougth entrys for that you could get over to the UK vs. Germany mode:
Veterans fight Veterans until one is left. the same with the newbies. Those two fight in the final.
Yeah but in the end, only one fight is actually between a veteran and a newbie, so what's the point?
May I submit my Steel Reign replica that I built for Zog's tourney? I wouldn't mind seeing that bot compete if Zog does not mind me using it in other tournaments.
I just saw that stag is already on page one.. but how`s he a veteran?
OK guys, due to obvious lack of interest in the Wild Card Warriors, this will officially be cancelled if I don't get some bots by Friday. So get those bots in!
Jonzu and FOTEPX, where are your bots?
Can i get something into this ?
I just asked Wham if he wants to enter.Sounds good. Maybe we'll finally see what RubberDuckZilla looks like if he choses to enter it, don't you think? ^_^
Sounds good. Maybe we'll finally see what RubberDuckZilla looks like if he choses to enter it, don't you think? ^_^
Apparently, it's a robot that Wham is working on.Sounds good. Maybe we'll finally see what RubberDuckZilla looks like if he choses to enter it, don't you think? ^_^
never heard of RubberDuckZilla.. what`s that?
I thought replicating the sawblade Ronin would be a good idea, but it's going to be hard to make something really accurat unless i BFE.I say go for it. Just make sure it doesn't catch fire, though = P
Hell, the only idea i have to make a good replica would be using the cheat Diablo tracks, reskinning them, and putting a wheel inside the track (like the Diablo replica has) at the rear end of the robot, so the whole chassis can rotate vertically with the center of rotation being at the back of the robot......That's a good idea.
Those tracks used on the DSL Ronin replica looked a little bit (By which I mean very) laggy to me.
I knew there was a crapload of wheels there, but I didn't know what motors were used until now.
Those tracks used on the DSL Ronin replica looked a little bit (By which I mean very) laggy to me.
That because they're made of assloads of wheels on invisible servos.
is there spaces in the wildcard entry.Good to see you back, Ash!
if there is i might enter if i can dig out my laptop and copy the files from it to my pc which i got running on tuesday
all my RA2 stuff is on that but it cant run RA2 anymore because it is so sh!t and old thats why i havent had anymore bot/replicas in a few weeks
dont worry though i will be back into the spirit soon
Given the lack of numbers, perhaps some of the vets with completely new bots should fill in as "wildcards" (I wont call them newbies)
Of course it is custom component if it crashes the game!
of corse it crashed... He`s a tourney host. This has to happend. otherwise it`s not a GTM tourney. (curse and stuff)Well, I guess I could send in my modified Panic Attack replica as a byebot.
so do the veterans have to build some byes?
:( tis a shame, I wanted to see Mauler in action.Oh well, there's always Series 2.
