For july we will do MW DSL Rammer bot. No spinning weapons allowed, dut other than that same rules as last 2 tournaments.
Entries must be in by friday 28-08 Midnight Central time and voting will end monday midnight or early tuesday Am.
EDIT: A rammer is a bot that uses drive and body weight to do damage so weapons should be static, but a linear actuator should be OK to help place the weapons
-
That means we can do a rammer hybrid, but not hammer/spinner?
-
NO!
-
*Retreats carefully* Ok then. My bad.
-
awsome idea man i will do mine as soon as i finsh my tourny.
-
I will give this a try seeing as i am bored.
-
Quick question, will there ever be a stock bot of the month?
-
Not untill next month.
-
Alright I'm new enough here, I'll give it a go.
On the rammer, are static weapons allowed, like spikes or is this pure ramp only?
Would be nice to have a list of exact requirements (weapons allowed), I'd like to modify one of my designs for this contest. :)
Cheers.

Actually, frontal static weapons and fast drive train are the trademark of a rammer (designed to charge the opponent). Ramps are wedges (designed to go under the opponent and take away their drive train).
I think only static weapons are allowed. No weapon spin motors and weapon burst motors.
I'd give it a try too.
-
i'll give it a try, but i'm am AWFUL!
(I don't think i'll get any votes, or if i'm can make a good enough bot)
-
I think I might give this a shot but only if I have time.
-
Yeah, I am away next week, but when I get back I shall post my design for the robot. I have about 20% of it done, but I cant quite decide on a battery configeration, I think I'll go for an all 28Amp though.
I am trying to be origional in my design, and my tests on the current model have been really good (smashed Biohazard, Behemoth and almost beat Emergency once).
How do these contests usually go? Do the 'win in 3 seconds' robots usually grab it?

Looks play a big part, since unless the builder includes battle shots in the picture, no one can know how powerful the bot is. It probably only has to be competent in battle to get lots of votes.
I'm making sure to take that into account for my bot.

only popups can do that (although i did have a hammer do it in 7)
try making your robot invertible to beat Emergency. flipping is its only weapon.
-
I'm in.
-
I'm in, but if CB's competing, I can only dream of winning.
-
i made mine but its heavyweight D:
-
Then, it's not a middleweight, so it'll be disqualified D:
My bots now built. I just have to perfect the skin...
-
Here's mine:

Oof, there's going to be some stiff competition for this one. That's a mean-looking bot. I love the chassis shape.
Here's mine. Made in 2.1 but it's entirely possible to build in 2.0 too. I forgot to include the weight in the picture but it's 398.6 kgs.

-
Aaaaaaaaaand, there goes my chances :P
-
Yeah, Fuerza is indeed cool-looking. Godfist looks like a really good pusher.
My turn then:

-
Bleh, probably pointless with Clickbeetle around but, ah well...
Headache looks quite powerful judging from its damage, very handy.
As for Fuerza, thats a very cool shape, and the gape looks very intimidating, and difficult to get out of.

I think ill be disqualified for this one but its worth a try.Its Leapskull......
-
Not wanting to broke your enthusiasm in competing there but this isn't even a finished bot, Lupus.
-
it is but adding weapons stops it jumping...
-
Then it's not a rammer if this has no weapons.
-
oh shi* its rammers?
-
Yeah.
Well, you have still time to build one. I would suggest for this looking at the DSL rammer bots, especially the insides (move the AI .bot file you want to see in the robot designs folder)
-
ive made one BUT i need to lower the weight a bit
-
cant you just upload the picture? no one wants to keep downloading your crap.
-
me?i have no idea waht your talking about?
-
Use inline images by using Imageshack.
You upload to imageshack then put the url between (http:// tags (Or use the image coding on the forum reply, its the little yellowish mountain thing with a little square in the corner). That will directly show the picture on the forum without us having to go through downloading the images onto the PC.
EDIT: Before you say the worst thing... [url]http://imageshack.us/[/url]
Browse---> Find your picture----> host it! (wait for a little bit)----copy the ''direct link'' url (at the very bottom)----> post a reply button here then put [IMG]URLOFPIC) at a LOGICAL place in the post.

Exactly
BTW, Pleiades, I can't understand how you've beaten a thing like Triclops with only 2 razors...
-
And convert the pic to .jpg
-
Just one very strange question :
When we vote for bot of the M. for what we vote in bot ? I mean this : we must vote
who bot is more effective by our opinion or for who bot is more cool loking by our opinion, or bouth or for what qualitis for bots we want whatever... ?
Voting is coming soom so please someone help me :D
BTW im not good at DSL (i must say i never even saw it but...) in my lats votes i was trying to vote for cool looking AND eficiancy.
So... What we vote for ?
-
Yeah. Building skill, good looks and efficiency. Good looks is minor, I do believe.
-
i once had a rammer in my showcase back in the ra2 forum that could do 4 sec kill

i bet that was against a robot with no protection whatsoever, and a lucky hit.

@Naryar: The robot is so fast Triclops cannot turn around quickly enough. The robot is one of the fastest I have made, even faster than its big brother Hellcrasher 2, from which it was modified heavily into a MW, Triclops could fire its hammer and I could have moved the robot out of the way and be ready to smack it back by the time it was ready to pursue. It is pure speed how I survived that match, as well as finidng the right angles to attack it from.
-
Yeah. In one word, backstabbing. Well that's the most effective tactic against him.
There aren't gonna be a lot of contestants this time... or so it seems.

Actually, I found it easier to go round its side and under at an angle (under the tracks) My robot did take some damage from the spikes at the side though, but the pushing power meant it could get it pinned on the grinders.
-
meh, ill try and beat the deadline.
