I love this bot. Reminds me of stuff in the Crusader game series (though the bots there were thinner in their sapes, they stood up in the same way).

Is Sluggs handheld lamp available anywhere? I missed out on it.
Or perhaps some nice person could send it me?

its still an object, i haven't rigged it to move yet, but the parts are all designed to follow the droid conventions that i found in the original bots. i haven't added the furnace plate on the back yet, thats one more polygon to add. its 151 kb, 710 polys right now and it gets through bsp no problem.

Looks great so far.
<s>Does it look good with combat bot motions, or will we have to learn the motion editor? ;)</s>
edit: sorry, didn't read your post

Looks great. Definitely fits in more than a dumb ol' Karras CombatBot.
Interesting shape on the weapons, whatcha gonna make them fire?

i was thinking about firing a custom fire arrow, make a missile model and explode them like the sunburst device. KABOOM THIEF. i'm going to add the axles and such now and see how it moves. proportionwise i think its going to work, its similar to targa's bot that was never finished.
EDIT: i'm a bit confused about how meshbld works, the major pieces of the bot are named the same of the original combat bots, and the joint markers are the same, but in the interface i have about 30 pieces, some of which are just submeshes of a part, but i can't edit them all, i can't specify texture at such on more than the first 12, is there a clear tutorial someplace step by step on how to use meshbld?

I haven't a clue, hopefully one of the mesh masters will be able to help you.
Say, how about having it fire the frag grenades that somebody made a demo for (was it Targa?)

Yes, the frag grenade demo was made by Targa. I think you can get it from his site. You can get there from the Dromed FAQ page.

I'm sorry, but that bot really does look like a roasted chicken. You have to add sound effects. Make the thing squawk instead of whir!
