"Personal" Info: Leo
Welcome to my Tournaments, first of all. I hope you enjoy our content, and if you don’t have RoboForge, please go buy it, for crying out loud!! It’s only 20 American dollars, which is derned cheap for a new computer game. It’s also worth more than every penny of it.
But enough shameless endorsement. :) If you came here for personal info about me, you came to the wrong place. Here is the most personal thing I will say: I’m from the United States, I own RoboForge, am an amateur and hold unofficial tournaments, known by some as tourneys. But hopefully, you came to this page to find out the same type of information in the Players List pages.
Lucky you! I’m going to give you even more than that! Here comes details on all of my robots (at least the ones I might use):
Freak O Nature
My first decent bot, though my fourth overall, this bot is of the rammer type. I love rammers; they only ram, and then ram more. Not incredibly effective, but they can get annoying. Anyway, if I had to pick, I would say this is my favorite bot. It may only be average in fighting, but I have grown close to my first good bot. This is the bot I use to fight against all entrants in order to make sure there are no stupid errors on the maker’s part (like missing controllers or colliding chasis with parts) and to make a quick summary of the bot in the pre-tourney data. (Will be shown in match-ups section)
Shrek Donkey
This thing is less harmless than the RoboForge House Bot; all it does is fly around, like the donkey from the movie "Shrek". (In theaters everywhere!! ...I need to stop my shameless endorsements.)
Available for download.
Andalite
Remember the Animorphs? No, they aren’t a fort, they were a great book series. Unfortunately, they ended. All great things must come to an end. But, I built this bot in their honor, based on the species of Andalite from the books. Of course, it does blow up its torso every time it battles, but hey, nothing’s perfect.
Available for download.
Maggie Simpson
Gee, that zombie-looking thing looks familiar. Isn’t that.... That’s right, here’s Maggie Simpson. This is the result of what happens when an amateur has no idea how to create a valid texture: what would be instantly recognizable turns into an enigma. But anyhow, on to the introduction. Who’s the Simpson no one can remember? No, it’s not Disco Stu, it’s Maggie, the lost Simpson! But of course that baby can’t hurt anyone without a staple gun... Think again. Well.. kind of. This baby will at least make a poor attempt at scratching you.
Available for download.
The AT-ST Chicken Walker from Star Wars
a.k.a. "Stormtrooper"
This bot is actually the best (in my opinion) of my released Art ‘Bots, because it has a decent attack strategy. Where guns would be in the movies, this bot has war swords. Its head is a tad weak, though, and typically the damage from its head exploding is enough to lose, along with the fact that when the head explodes, it has no weapon.
Available for download.
Reptar Mobile
Let me just say right now that The Rugrats Movie was not the greatest movie which ever came out. I am really not that fond of it. However, I have a little broken model of this Reptar Mobile, and I thought it looked good enough to model into a bot! Warning: This bot, though its skills are worthy of a 20k, cost 40k to make; exceeds standard limits so don’t expect this in your typical tourney.
Available for download.
Shieldbot ver2
This version of my Shield Bot, the second decent bot I built, I rarely use it, but it’s improved over my first version; its head is no longer very vulnerable. Its weapons are also more damaging than the stabbers of the first version: It now uses a Puncturer and a Mace, and is much more effective.
Super Weapon Bot
a.k.a. "SWB"
This is my third decent bot, and for a time served as my best bot. Its controller and energy are to its back, shielded, and at its front many weapons are armed, making this bot tougher than it looks.
Jefferson the Banana
a.k.a. "Jefferson the Hairy Banana-dude"
This bot is supposed to be a giant banana. It also is a Sniper Bot, in that it will attack enemies from afar, even though it doesn’t actually shoot. It isn’t that great, however, and I don’t plan on using it often. Based on a comic character of a friend’s friend’s friend. :)
Available for download.
Spindoctor
This bot is my best 40k bot, and one of my few spinners. Its weapons are doubled: ax-mace. It also is heavily shielded, and works well about 45% of the time.
I won’t use it often, except in 40k-limit fights.
Helter Skelter
This helicopter bot is a derned good spinner/rammer bot, an early model of mine. Still, compared to some of my other bots, it is pretty lame, and I don’t use it much.
Dog
A tribute to my love of dogs, this bot is programmed to "sic ‘em", by ramming with its grond nose, ram lip and war sword tongue. Its ears are shields and its brains are behind a lot of armoring (just try to guess where).
Super Toucan
a.k.a. "ST"
One of my favorite bots, this birdie was supposed to be a rubber duckie with an attitude before I oversized its beak. Before I knew it, I had this bird which will fight hard, even with its head knocked off!
Overkill
This bot rules. Unfortunately, it cost 75k to make. It was inspired by the bot Heavyscrew, a bot available for download at the Yahoo! Groups site for Roboforge. It can only be used when or if we ever hold a no-cost-limit tourney. If we do, you had better expect a fight from this guy.
Finally, my weekday schedule in the Challenge Rooms is:
10AM-12PM CDT
7PM-9PM CDT
I will put this into different time zones later.
