2.0 Component Ideas
« on: July 16, 2006, 02:26:34 PM »
Power

Thin Battery: Large length, 1/3 as much width, and very thin. Can be attached on all sides. About 1 or 2 needed to power a heavy-weight.


Extenders

Front Mountable Disc: Just like the DSL 4-mount discs, but the mounts are placed facing up rather that sideways. (Kinda like the stock RA2 discs.)
Size adjustable.

Spread Connector: Like a Y Connector, but with 2 extra mounts placed at an angle like the Y Connector to make something that looks kinda like the Eiffel Tower.


Motors

Rapid Swing Motor: (Don't know if possible to make) A burst motor that quickly fires from the start angle, to the finish angle, then equally powerfully back to the start angle, and repeats until you turn off the switch/stop holding down button.

Analog Burst Motor: (Don't know if possible to make) A burst motor that can fire in 2 directions, idle at the start angle, and fires at iether finish angle 1 or 2.

Differential Perm Motor: (Don't know if possible to make) EL 132 Perm Motor with a small flat and round differential on one of the mounting sides. The side with no differential spins in the direction assigned, and the side with the differential goes in the opposite direction.


Weapons

Saw: A rectangular saw, mountable on where the handle should be or on the opposing edge of the teeth. (Can be used with pneumatic parts to chew away damage, or strike with burst motors.)


Mobility

Special Caster: A balance caster, except only 2.5cm tall. It doesn't mount to the base, and instead, it mounts to any connector.

Skidding Wheel: Size adjustable wheels. Sizes depend on the motor. When put onto the corresponding motor and driven, the robot chassis will be extremely close the ground. (Assuming the motor is not raised.) Useful for getting under robots.


Extras

Attenae: A simple wire sticking out, like the ronin and typhoon decorations. Hopefully it can come in different colors.


Well that's all I can think of right now. I might add later. Thanks a bunch if some of these are added. :D

Those are some great ideas but DSL 2.0 is finished and is being tested so they won't be adding nything to the pack

While true, there may be future versions or patches

So I'd suggest you change the name of the thread to 2.1 idea's.

I understood that completely. It took a bit time but when you look at the shape of the Eiffel tower you'll eventually understand that.

Or imagine 2x Y connectors next to each other. Now take that v part at other Y connector and place it in the end of the another Y connector. Place that v to the same end where are already on v. Now bend all sticks a bit outside and make their bottom smooth.

Now you should have Eiffel tower standing on its head with its four legs.
I was Da beta tester Da da dada DA, Da. And that felt good.  :mrgreen:
