there is still work in SHW I think (not as much though) but UHW is just weapon spam.. really it only surfaced to try and wake up the DSL showcases more (same reason I think the two extenders should be allowed in stock)

I like SHW. Part placements are neither random nor spam. They are more intense in efficiency than any lower weight class. Rather than 400 kg you have 1200 kg to be efficient about. It's just that we have too little SHW tournaments and too little SHW on NAR AI, so nobody is pushed to be efficient with that 1200 kg.

As for UHW, it's too bad the game's physic's engine can't handle them too well in combat, but they are even more intense in planning and efficiency. You have to be efficient with hundreds of parts, and you have to plan based on the maximum sphere and rule of 7. It take days to build a combat efficient UHW.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of work involved in making efficient bots in each class, they just have different needs to be efficient. Personally I like SHW a lot cos I can whack out some huge stuff

its not so much that its not effient when building but rather the heavier the robots class the more forgiving it is with getting parts on

its a lot easier to adjust to fit on those extra irons or extra batt.. MW isnt so easy.. and LW IMO is the most competitive as far as building

Main problem in UHW is that effing maxsphere

123savethewhales · « **Reply #105 on:** May 29, 2010, 03:22:11 AM »

I would have build something 50000kg by now if it isn't for the maxsphere and the physics engine. I like having a lot of parts to work with.

Okay guys, I'm only awaiting Nary's update/AI and Urjak's AI now and we can get the ball well and truly rolling (:

Naryar · « **Reply #107 on:** May 30, 2010, 05:23:26 AM »

OK, i'll be tweakin the wedge and try to skin it, then will send.

Naryar · « **Reply #108 on:** May 31, 2010, 06:40:00 AM »

Will send over the next 15 minutes if everything goes right.

Naryar · « **Reply #109 on:** May 31, 2010, 10:14:39 AM »

Sent. I hope the wedge is better now that i'm usng small wedges... at least it has less ground clearance and looks much better with the new skin.

Now you can get your BTTB bot in.

Naryar · « **Reply #111 on:** May 31, 2010, 10:26:35 AM »

I totally expected that... but i am working on it right now, didn't you saw my post ?

And I think he did.

I did, but not until after I posted that.

NFX · « **Reply #114 on:** May 31, 2010, 10:40:05 AM »

At least things are all moving along again. =P

cephalopod · « **Reply #115 on:** May 31, 2010, 12:41:25 PM »

Only Urjak's AIing and/or update to get in then things will begin to roll.

I'll probably get AIing the other bots tonight.

cephalopod · « **Reply #116 on:** May 31, 2010, 02:05:19 PM »

Okay, Urjak's bot has recieved (thanks :D) and so I will finish everything off tonight/tomorrow and with any luck have a splash tomorrow night/Wednesday. Hopefully. :P

Thanks to all those entering!
