I like IRL, Infact I cannot stand Non IRL, all robots are uninspired, going for the "Razor Rammer" or "Stick pointy things on tribars woop". IRL is how I believe RA2 should be played.

Note : I don't hate IRL, hell in plenty of cases I have said an IRL bot was cool, awesome or some combination thereof.yeah drums are literally satan
IRL is good for LOOKS and COOLNESS (although DSL-S can be just as good or better than IRL at that). However it's not good for proper fighting.
Therefore I wonder why all these people are so eager for IRL tournaments. It's not like you don't win IRL tournaments by spamming drums which are mostly the same designs in standard and IRL anyways...
It doesn't have to it's just an option but thank you :)Note : I don't hate IRL, hell in plenty of cases I have said an IRL bot was cool, awesome or some combination thereof.yeah drums are literally satan

Its cool That you accepted The Republic Of Texas, Despite it being from the 1800's :P
In all these tournaments, people don't exclude dual beta bursts when they, in a walled arena, can finish the match in 3 seconds, why is this?because they are large and weigh a lot it is beleived that you have to sacrifice something else on the bot like armor

Ah Ok, I was just wondering because if you look at things like second sentinel, if you made a remake of that for this it would go in your favour if you got a good flip inIn all these tournaments, people don't exclude dual beta bursts when they, in a walled arena, can finish the match in 3 seconds, why is this?because they are large and weigh a lot it is beleived that you have to sacrifice something else on the bot like armor
yea what he said
dual beta burst requires ALOT of battery power anything less than the required amount means it's gonna get it's flippers stuck raised in the air doing absolutely nothing before the match ends
I built one before and it was slow, had terrible armor and all it could do really was flip so yea. balance

second sentinel is made of pure magic there is no way you can make a bot that tough while still having decent speed and enough power for the beta motors

Second Sentinel has just good wedges and awesome flipping power. Also, good AI.
I think Im just gonna assign a country for those that don't give me one... is that cool with you guys?
Ugh, countries. Unless I can have the Moon or something list me as GB.\
Makes sense. Craaig you want the moon? Oh and only 5 spots remaining so hurry and get your entries in :bigsmile:Ugh, countries. Unless I can have the Moon or something list me as GB.\
he let me have molossia so that isnt too far out of perspective
Considering I was thinking of entering Lift-Off!, Craaig bagsying The Moon as a country disappoints me.
I'll boot up RA2 and build something for this now though.

So I guess if I ended sign ups now it would be four groups of 3 and the entrants seem to be slowing down now, but Im really hoping I get more entries to make it 4 of 4.I would leave them open until the end of the week.
That sounds good. I'll leave it open until Sunday and hopefully I can get the splash and and groups ready sometime during Monday.So I guess if I ended sign ups now it would be four groups of 3 and the entrants seem to be slowing down now, but Im really hoping I get more entries to make it 4 of 4.I would leave them open until the end of the week.
Anyways, I should send in something by the end of the week.
Entering. England. UK is different. Playzooki isn't smart.Either you or him are gonna get England lol you guys can talk it out if he decides to enter or not. Oh and only two spots left...
Entering. England. UK is different. Playzooki isn't smart.
I am fully willing to switch to either Cyprus Or Greece, because i spent holidays there and they were very good. Its MKB's call whether he'd like to actually enter as england or leave the scraps to the biggest failure of all time, me.It's all yours man he did not enter in time.
