RA2- IRL thread

Talk about the lastest in Nintendo, X-box and, if you can afford it, Playstation. Don't forget about PCs and handhelds, but if you go old-ass Atari on us, we'll cut you off at the knees.

I could see it doing pretty well actually. Complete Control type robots usually do well.

Yeah I was reading Dracula and thinking about CFL tournaments, and this thing came into my head. Clamps are a new frontier for me.

If you use that in a tournament I would probably look into doing something about the rear wheels being exposed. ;)

It sucks going 0-5. You lose all 4 of your bot fights for the week and you also lose at life.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll get that sorted out before I enter it into anything.

Whoa whoa whoa. If they don't pop out the back like that, then it might get centered on its back ala Zombie Killer. Unless that was your intention. Sicko.

The real solution is to have the wheels partially exposed so the robot works when it's lifted up to 30 degrees, but then have a hinged wedge on the back that covers them so you won't get stuck on your back, and your wheels won't get clipped.

Old one, but I think it's my best shot at RA2 IRL building. Some of you from GTM will remember Taur.

'Ey, welcome to ARC dude.

Looks pretty cool. What are the bars for, to prevent getting stuck on the side?

All of my robots have only been posted on GTM, hah. Nowhere else TO post them, in fact. ;(

Tournament... hmm... will check it out.
