Battle RC

Feels like an early access tech demo but not listed as early access. I'd like a single camera view to see the whole arena, like how Robot Wars competitors are in boxes looking down on the action, because the current camera views are deeply annoying. Too many arenas have easy instant KOs, or things that catch a robot's geometry and time it out, or are rectangles. Arena design should be lifted from the TV shows where there is the chance of a good flip out of the arena, but the fight isn't dominated by hazards. Also, in real competitions, pinning an opponent isn't allowed, while here it seems the default AI behaviour. The physics/damage leaves a lot to be desired; a rambot will never outlast a spinner as the spinner doesn't have the self-destructive issues they do in real life. I understand more natural AI and a better damage model is difficult. But it was the dev who chose to make this game and didn't mark it "early access"!

Still needs work, but Blaster is really good at community feedback and every update is a big step towards this game being perfect!

I've always wondered why battlebot stuff is overlooked as a game genre, well this game covers a very nice gap. lots of maps tho I wish there was more! TONS of bots and the workshop ones are super fun to experiment. adding up to 8 players in a match was a great idea. would love more tourney customization, maybe even ai difficulty settings ( they can be too easy sometimes.) I hope they keep adding more to this game, its freaking epic!
