Not more of /my/ robots. Is there a reason you're not starting KOTH with all the T16-T24 bots? I'm saddened by the split between neo-physics and this return to...
It was thought that the top 18 T16-T24 bots would be overly challenging, with the majority of bots getting booted as soon as they were entered, in addition to ...

I do not claim that laser bots will win, or indeed that lasers will ever be a very effective weapon. But they do one thing very well -- kill certain bots not...
I am planning to set up an unofficial tournament system as an alternative to the KOTH system. There are a few different reasons. Most of them I won't go into...

... Yeah, but I'm a fan of putting old bots against new and comparing. I know building new bots to beat them isn't hard, but I'm saying we'd have to go back...
Hello everyone, With Kevin's help, encouragement, and bug-finding skilz, some progress has been made in the Carbonized version of RoboWar. In the latest build:...

I can actually get the code to compile but it won't link. There seem to be missing calls to Drag and Drop routines. Did you vectorize the code? It seems you...

Congratulations to your new improvements to game Sam! Since I've tested it I've been able to see the progress. The Carbon version now works as good as... no...
I assume these "retro" rules would include no lasers as well, right? If not, I could easily see a laser robot beating anything without shields, easily. -John ...
