Bad thing about the "Follow Bot" Command is that if a bot meant for distraction gets right up next to the bot it's supposed to be distracting, it may be TOO close to distract it, and it may shoot at the bot you're trying to protect anyway.

WOW all this talk about the 4th one.....it's ashame that it's so cheap. I am shocked that so many people got this badge.

Finally completed challenge 4, one of the most annoying things I have ever played, specially when sword dies in 5 secs and u need guide shield to death or wait a lot (no restart button). Man, these bots have no AI, have AS (artificial stupidity). I even lost a bunch of tries because, instead of follow my orders instantly, the bot needs to think about it, than make a long turn for the other side, and then go to where I have clicked. Anyway, a tip: order sword to follow shield, so u need to control just 1 bot.

for challenge 4: forget having the shield follow dragon.. it always stays too close to the dragon and you get killed.. instead have the shield follow the sword and have the sword continually retreat from the dragon in a big circle. this way only took me like 5 tries

These challenges are a joke with such poor controls. There's a reason almost 10x as many people have gotten the career mode badge.

Challenge 4 is way too difficult compared to the others. It could be made more reasonable by providing the dragon with a gun that works at closer ranges. This would make it spend more time shooting at the shield rather than the sword.

I hate challenge 4. At first I thought to myself "this will be easy, just keep the shield closer to the dragon than the sword." But of course that doesn't work cause the dragon seems to attack them totally random!!!

Here are some flaws of the challenges i observed... Challenge 1 is ok... Challenge 2: too many enemies can corner you and u all just have the same speed so its pretty hard to evade the enemies, a stronger weapon to make it shorter could be good. Challenge 3 is ok... Challenge 4: the sword is too weak to atleast survive from 10 attacks while u have to give orders to the shield almost every time of the battle to move near the dragon but not to near. Challenge 5: just like challenge 2 except that it could be fixed if enemy had weaker armor. Challenge 6 is ok same is Challenge 7. the real problem is the controls... why not just have the robots not moving unless u give them orders? hope that if there will be bot arena 4 this problems are fixed. it seems that the challenges are built for elite type gamers instead of average gamers like myself

Even if you give a straight order saying to follow an enemy, your robot doesn't just follows it and fires, sometimes they aim other enemies randomly...

the hard badge is more like impossible to me cause of crappy controls... i mean the commander had about 10 shots of life left when i ordered my medic to go behind the soldier it went in front and got owned by the commander...

This is how flawed Challenge 4 is:
The Dragon has a minimum range, under which it cannot fire. Your Sword also has this minimum range. So for the Sword to engage the Dragon, it is also vulnerable to the Dragon's attacks. When you use the Shield to distract the Dragon, it often wanders into the Dragon's minimum range, at which point the Dragon switches to the next target it can engage within its range, which happens to be the Sword.
In other words, the very act of using Shield to distract the Dragon often leads to the Dragon deciding to concentrate on Sword instead.
Did the game designer actually tested the maps before releasing it?

needs controls and a quit button
and i should have won level 4 i only had to hit 1 time but my robot didnt atack and died

i pretty much hate this game, my bots just do whatever it takes to be destroyed and they always miss and the opponent never misses
IMPOSSIBLE AND ANNOYING

The career mode is fun because you can just build up super robots and overpower the enemies. The challenge mode is incredibly frustrating because you are hampered by poor robot AI. It became a battle of fighting the game design at this point.

the compter ai is better than yours so if you have better stuff sometimes you still lose team 1
2 guns both the same team 2 to gun same as team one and one bot has weaker armor= oh shit i lost but my stuff was better

Good mid-late game strat (when you get 95+ max team weight): build 2 cheap healers (30 max weight chasis with a 8-9w shield and the 10w heal component) to heal each other and your damage dealer (try to keep it upgraded specially the weapon).

This game is just awful. The controls don't work. I tell it to go left, and it turns right and goes to hide in the corner. the ability to click on a bot is not that responsive, and then when I do click it the tank won't respond, or just does the opposite, and maybe if it gets around to it, it will go in the correct direction at the worst opportune time. This just reminds me of when I tried to write the code for Robocup, only to have the program act differently every time I loaded it up

Well everyone is right SUCKY CONTROLS = VERY BAD GAME = NO FUN. (scratches head and wonders why kongregate even allows such games on there website. If you need a
QC guy call me :)

i could've won an account decisive fight (just barely enough to participate) several times if the robot wouldn't drive suddenly into a wall when "closing in" on an enemy.
in other words: THE AI IS CRAP!

It doesn't matter whatever command you give, follow or move, the bots are determined to have their own way. Lost the challenge 4 with only one shot remaining twice... just because the sword decided to have a loo break. By the time it had returned to where the shield was, the shield was shot.

(I get first badge)
oh ya I think I might try gettting the second two
(get 2nd)
I'm on a streak I'm going for all of them
(get to challenge 4)
WHAT THE HELL THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE LUCK NOT DISTRACTION

I like this game reminds me of robot wars or what ever that show was called. I would like the ability to change AI's though like have an aggressive and passive AI's so they charge in or try and stay away. Also a move speed might add more strategy so a low armored guys could out flank low range powerful weapons. Also for challenge 4 I had my shield chase him and kept my sword away until the dragon ran from my shield and shot at him then I would stay slightly farther away from him then my shield and would move away again before my shield got next to him where he could not hit it.

the 'following' key is very useful for all lvl, make sure bot C follow bot B, bot B follow bot A, so that u juz nid to control bot A go around a circle.. Even chllg 4 also use shield follow sword.
