So, who else knows this old game where you built a robot and then went into events or just played against the other robots?

I play it occasionally, just that I can't think of good bot designs.

Oh this game, i love it. Played it some time ago, there are SO MANY possibilities for robots. More often than not though, i end up making a heavyweight robot that smashes the other with something heavy. I remember this one cylindrical bot i made, it had a triple spinning sledgehammer for a weapon. And then the bot itself could also spin around with its wheels. The result? A raging tornado of sledgehammer strikes. The foes generally ended up with one of their sides completely smashed in. :D

I should totally get hold of it again at some point, if at all possible. I recall it not working terribly well with recent Windows versions.

Actually, if you install all the patches (1.3 is the newest, I think) it doesn't have any problems with Win7 64bit.
And I have the same problem. I always end up with a bot that bashes the others with 2 double-sided pick-axes and has spikes at every direction to prevent flipping over.

Used to play this forever. Sad the community is so small nowadays, I don't know of any other communities besides the GameTechMods forum.
By some coincidence, this was the game and forum that I was first really involved in, before DRL.
Download the DSL mod, you won't regret it.

I tried the mod but I think it has too much stuff in it, too confusing.
And I gave up.

It crashes a lot for me, and I have the latest patch.

I has never crashed for me.
Weird.

But how about some multiplayer?

I could never make anything in this because the friggin' wheels wouldn't be EXACTLY the same distance apart. They'd be, like, less than half a block off but when I tried moving forward it'd just spin around really fast...

Nah, you got the wiring wrong.

UP|DOWN
Left-side wheels are UP: Counter-clockwise and DOWN: Clockwise.
Right-side wheels are the opposite.
LEFT|RIGHT
All wheels LEFT: Clockwise and RIGHT: Counter-clockwise.

Try that.

I remember this. Was it online? I'll have to dig it up sometime.
