The arena is still in its final touches. I just finished up some camera work for better angles of the sides, and am going to work on texturing the walls. Mad says the programming is almost done, and the house robot is looking good.

Wham, I'm confused about what you just said.

Reier · « **Reply #383 on:** January 22, 2009, 03:47:22 PM »

Wham, It's MDVIII, not MDIVVV.

You can just call it MD8 if you want.

@Sage: Ok, thats good to here. I'll be using orbit quite a bit, so bair in mind i dont have a scroll wheel on my mouse. Plus some angles of the pit would be good.
@System32: Your robot is...
@Somebody: Im putting the names of robots next to thier makers, so that i can now claify all the bots and get rid of the messages in my inbox! Thanks for telling me the name of your bot to clarify.
@Reier: Typo problems fixed.
@SpyGuy: If you want the WRL logo i did to put on the skins, just say.
@Naryar: Ok, Best Name in awards after, and you have been put in the third, so that it is filled.

Here's the new 'HouseBot' arena. The HB is totally in the arena.GMF, and run via its arena.python, thus leaving it open to 4 bot brawls. I cannot begin to explain how much work this arena took. And I'd like to give kudos to SpyGuy, CB, Sage, Tovaner, and Serge for beta testing and feedback; to SpyGuy and Sage for skinning.
It is a square semi high-walled arena:

Some features:
1. Dangerous corner pits that start closed,... but open at 2:00:

2. Poly 'Blue-Sheild' glass walls for easy viewing.

3. It has 2 housebots. They both are invertible and randomly roam the arena:

The first is called 'Drill Sergeant'. It is a 4WD SHW HouseBot, with 2 nasty horns and 1 large, spinning drill bit. It can quickly dismount tires and components.

The second is called "Collateral Damage". This is ACAMS' cool Jeep with monster wheels that will climb most any bot. It is also a SHW 4WD, but it has a huge bush-bumper mounted on the front, which is pneumatically fired out at obstacles in its way. Whatever is in it's path will become 'Collateral Damage':

4. One of these 2 HouseBots will randomly appear at the begining of each match.
5. The HouseBot moves on its own randomly: Forward/Reverse, Left/Right.
6. Each bears and wields its own potent weapon.
7. If Hazards are turned off, the HB will remain immobile and up off of the floor (out of the action).
8. Nicely positioned 'Static' cameras(thanks Sage).
9. Conveniently positioned 'Watch' cams that 'zoom in' on the action.

There are some minor adjustments to do on the arena yet, so don't ask for it till the tourney is finished.

Mad.

BTW:
1. I'll do the same with the GUMBA Arena....
2. There's an 'ACAMS HouseBot' Arena coming., where ACAMS.bot patrols certain zones of the arena.

Cool!
So the HRs are sort of like the rover in the mars arena? (Exept they can do damage.)

SpyGuy · « **Reply #395 on:** January 29, 2009, 05:31:50 PM »

Wham, set me up with the WRL logo. You have a site I could d/l it from, or you just want to email it to me?

Glad to help anytime on the skins, Madiaba.

if you're talking about the logo in the center of the arena, I actually made that... is there a different logo?

That housebot thing is cool as

.

Maybe it could be done with the RW arena for DSL V3....

Somebody · « **Reply #398 on:** January 29, 2009, 07:08:40 PM »

Oh yes, I was wondering about that. It would also be cool if we could use the housebots too.

EDIT: BTW, when can we expect the splash
