PR's back pocket with robots

on my photobucket, i found lots of old bots i made, including first bots ever made. so i'm showing what i made when i was a newb.


stock:

Vulcan, the very first bot i ever made in The Game:

Spoiler:

Pincer Vulcan, didn't work as well as i hoped:

Spoiler:

N-Disc 3, 1 and 2 aren't there. guess they were that bad. i do remember this one being the fist combat effective spinner i ever made:

Spoiler:

Spawn of Scutter, first attempt to a replica:

Spoiler:

Dantomkia, second attempt to a replica:

Spoiler:

Mega Vulcan, first of the red rammer/poker. the struggle series is way better IMO:

Spoiler:

Mega Vulcan 2, soon to follow and bring some improvement:

Spoiler:

N-disc 4, this one was pretty effective, to bad i don't have it anymore:

Spoiler:

Micro Vulcan, the original one. this was my entry in BBEANS3. getting past a 'bye' and winning one fight in the losers brackes has given me 2 WBP in the BBEANS rankings.

Spoiler:

FBS Magnet, the first one from the magnet bots. more a SnS then FBS:

Spoiler:

Tetra Vulcan, the original. this kind of flipper is great for throwing enemy's:

Spoiler:

FBS Magnet 2, the second one, containing more weapon and also more destruction:

Spoiler:

FBS Magnet 3, now still the final version. had done a rebuild of it as it just was a good bot:

Spoiler:

after that, i took a shot at DSL:

Hydra, i liked the idea, but it just didn't work:

Spoiler:

Hydra Lite, this was actually unstable:

Spoiler:

Hydra Desolation, just what was i thinking when i made this?

Spoiler:

Holodeck, not to bad i think. might make a new and better version:

Spoiler:

Holodeck: Single Power, like half a bot. bit unbalanced:

Spoiler:

after that i kinda forget about the old RA2 forum. bots from when i became active on GTM will come another time. in the meantime, enjoy seeing this junk.

(Hehe, animated =D )

I still don't know what all the parts do, and I can't attach ANYTHING to the base, so you shall help me.

Those bots are pretty smart =)

not being able to attach anything to the base sounds a bit odd. so, not even a battery or control board? after you made the chassis?
i problem i sometimes face is that i can't attack things to eachother, but then i just go to test area and back to components and it's ok again. still, this sounds strange.

Probably mainly because I dun know how.

But nope, not even batteries or control thingy.

time to post what i had posted on GTM i guess.

starting with stock:

the rebuild of tetra vulcan:

Spoiler:

first Struggle bot, based on the mega-vulcan bots:

Spoiler:

rebuild of FBS Magnet 3:

Spoiler:

a new N-disc:

Spoiler:

upgraded power-struggle:

Spoiler:

upgraded N-disc 5:

Spoiler:

rebuild and fixed up micro vulcan. no longer gets stuck on it's end:

Spoiler:

faster version of MV, but when it gets on its end, its over for it. can't selfright:

Spoiler:

more to struggle with. faster and... well, that's it:

Spoiler:

last from the struggle series [?]:

Spoiler:

a rebuild/upgrade on vulcan. still sucks:

Spoiler:

and, what i find more interesting then stock, DSL:

BW shell spinner:

Spoiler:

BW rammer, did well in a tournament:

Spoiler:

improved in different ways. and still BW rammer:

Spoiler:

powervulcan, something that came in my mind that i had to try:

Spoiler:

upgraded, still not happy enough, but out of idea on how to make it work:

Spoiler:

LW undercutter, works ok:

Spoiler:

LW VS:

Spoiler:

LW drum spinner. this also is my entry in BBEANS6, may stand a chance as it has durable weaponry. not sure about the angled panels really:

Spoiler:

MW rammer, my entry in the lucky 7 tournament. hope it will still happen:

Spoiler:

MW poker, entry in tag team tornado tournament, such a happy bot here:

Spoiler:

and small updates on Underkill and Hyperblade2:

Spoiler:

Why no pic of Embodyment of the BlockBuster?

because i don't have those yet. and i still need to AI my new DSL bot that i made for TX's new tourney. i really like the FeatherWeight idea, so i made one. took a while before i had a good FW that worked (actually had a bit of a buildersblock i think, couldn't think of anything and had problemes with my pc). after AI, i will showcase both of them.

DP!!!!!!

i can show my FW, made in DSL. will enter this in TX his tourney. he will have to AI himself tho.



best i could come up with that actually worked. armour is steel 3.

I wanna see Embodyment of the BlockBuster!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just because its a rebuild of your bot...

when my photoshop is installed. CS5 didn't want to work with the key i said it had to use. so now back to CS4. not much difference anyway. i lost photoshop after getting windows 7 on my current machine.

The BTTB splash will be out tomorrow anyway.

well, i post it anyway.



couldn't build to weight limit. didn't know what more to add.

updated version:

fresh DSL bots here!






both have empty space that i should get rid of. and i really like Gyrometric Death, works well for grinding the lower side of the bots. i mainly build it for the looks, to be honest here.

i wanted to bar spinner, this is what i made.

yay new stuff.

best bot name?


pretty good flipper bot.


but better after the change.

weighs exactly 249.0
0.1 more and it would be MW.

yup yup! new Nightbox!

this, a BW...



and another BW...

something new. a rebuild of a pusher i made for Replica Wars 2. not meant for combat, though it wouldn't do to bad. but the looks are what make this bot worth showing. been busy with it for more then half of the evening.

MOAR!


armour is now plastic 3.

i'm not entirely grown out of RA2 yet.

here, a scorpion.


was even able to beat a weak BeetleWeight bot.

bump but I don't think it matters

You still build? Cool. You should send that to Thyrus for his thing

When I really feel like building something or whatever, I do. But that ain't much.

And thanks for the hears up. I'll send him the bot.

Btw, why not try and stick around more? May be good fun.

because there isn't much activity here (6 posts in a week? really?) and I don't RP anymore (and if I RP'd here Bydo Badnik'd be everywhere)
