Awesome, I'll be able to whip up an entry tomorrow evening then.

Gotta decide between another Steg sequel, a Behemoth upgrade, or a rear-hinged Firestorm....

Why arent' you making an updated Mazakari?

Invertible HS are kinda dull.

I did consider it, but I enjoy building flippers.

I was more of a joke considering that this bot and you have the same name but if you want to make one no problem

wham! I`m starting a RW tourney too... you know?

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #64 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:12:27 PM »

can an upgrade be renamed? like say a Supernova upgrade can be renamed to Hypernova ?

cephalopod · « **Reply #65 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:14:00 PM »

Yes. But Supernova would be a very boring upgrade. XD

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #66 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:22:49 PM »

i've just done one

cephalopod · « **Reply #67 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:40:27 PM »

My question is how can you improve it without just putting armour all over it? I mean it wouldn't have the real-life reliability issues in RA2.

Idea: for the splash, you should ask everyone to put a pic of their robot alongside its inspiration, to really highlight the "evolution" and help the IRL-ness judging. It'll be especially helpful if you're doing an obscure-ish bot like I am.

cephalopod · « **Reply #69 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:46:08 PM »

Awesome idea, I'll try incorporate that.

just had a new pretty destructive disc and that s'about it XD
but stilll in case it doesn't get Accepted i have a improved gravity with better armour

cephalopod · « **Reply #71 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:47:56 PM »

It's not going to be a case of 'acceptance', if your bot isn't accepted then the spot given by the randomizer will be given randomly to someone who lost out.

Mystic2000 · « **Reply #72 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:49:23 PM »

So if my bot is rejected someone will take my place ?

cephalopod · « **Reply #73 on:** June 21, 2013, 01:50:49 PM »

Yep. Means you gotta make sure you're entering something properly IRL.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #74 on:** June 21, 2013, 02:23:13 PM »

Tried looking through the rules to see if it was mentioned but couldn't see anything, but still sorry if it's a bit of a dumb question, but are re-skinned components allowed? :3

cephalopod · « **Reply #75 on:** June 21, 2013, 02:24:33 PM »

Didn't even think about that - yes they are, as long as they are their own component (eg don't overwrite the default DSL skins) :D

Oh but of course I will be checking for stat changes if anyone tries that

MikeNCR · « **Reply #76 on:** June 21, 2013, 02:27:27 PM »

I've got something ready. Did an update of this- http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sabre_Tooth

cephalopod · « **Reply #77 on:** June 21, 2013, 02:31:38 PM »

Funnily enough I was looking at that earlier and thinking how cool it'd be if someone tried it.

It seemed like an interesting one to try. Took a bit to get the passive sri-mech working. As long as it keeps attempting to drive, it seems to eventually right itself.

WhamettNuht · « **Reply #79 on:** June 21, 2013, 02:46:19 PM »

Ah fantastic! :) Now to see what I can come up with...
