I'd be happy to enter.

Scrapheap Challenge is the original name for Junkyard Wars.

How many tourneys have you actually entered yourself J24?

J24 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 20, 2010, 02:11:40 PM »

uhh, 3, but this probably isnt going to run for a while, im just getting it ready now

Also, did i mention that some lists will have good components, in exchange for rubbish ones elsewhere
I.E. one list will have ant batteries in exchange for four different wheels
Or is that taking it too far?

NFX · « **Reply #26 on:** September 21, 2010, 08:34:18 AM »

Maybe a bit far. Keep the wheels the same, just make them rubbish, like Micros, or T-Minus wheels or something.

Put Geared Beta's on one list and I'll be happy.

are there any problems with the rules, i want to get them sorted before anything else

Is it best 2 of 3 battle format, or just 1?

And what will you do if someone enters and you give them their component list, but they never send you a bot?

Possible alternative: post all of the different component lists for everyone to see, so when people enter they will already have a bot all ready. The only downside to that is that you could get multiple bots using the same component list, but if they're balanced enough then overlap should be minimal.

click you are a genius!! thank you!

Dp
Bump-idly ump bump, bump bump!

Srsly though, i updated the first post with a near final components list

And if anyone has 3d studio max or the like, i would love some sharp rusty pieces of metal as prizes

NFX · « **Reply #32 on:** October 01, 2010, 07:05:54 PM »

What's the red fork? D'you mean the Bracket thing that Sentinel has?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #33 on:** October 01, 2010, 07:53:02 PM »

Only WBC wheel?

J24 · « **Reply #34 on:** October 02, 2010, 02:07:13 AM »

@nfx yes
@badnik this isnt the final list yet, but its very close
when i get back from school im going to finalise everthing
so probably is the awnser

Edit: no i changed them to N-12s, and changed the NPC regulars to...
Wait for it...
Waaaaaait fooooor it...

CAR STEERING!

and this is going to be in the blade arena, not the tourney arena, since it sorta feels more like a scrapheap to me

Oh and does anyone know a free alternative to 3d studio max or whatever its called that lets me make mesh for components?
Sharp Rusty Metal FTW!!!

Badnik96 · « **Reply #35 on:** October 02, 2010, 06:52:52 AM »

Wings 3D is free and makes .3ds files I think. A pain to work with though.

SteveM4 · « **Reply #36 on:** October 02, 2010, 07:03:02 AM »

I'll definitely enter! (Bot name - Scrapyard Havok)

NFX · « **Reply #37 on:** October 02, 2010, 07:09:47 AM »

Serge tells me that only 3D Studio Max allows you to import .gmf files into Robot Arena 2, though.

I wish people would stop saying this. a .3ds file doesn't help. NFX is absoultely correct.

Does anyone have it btw?
Because i would love to have some sharp rusty metal as a prize
