Some DSL TC questions

[GarvinTheGreat]

So I just got DSL TC yesterday( It took 26 days until I figured out how to get it) But my bots suck and I wanna know how to improve
Armour: Ive been using mainly Titanium 1.
Control: Not sure what it is called. Its the big blue one
Battery: Not sure what its called. Its the biggest one out of them all though
Drive: Normal E teks. I dont think I should be using those though it makes my bot REALLY slow.
Flipper motor: I think its a large J somthing. Used 3 of them. Couldnt even lift a light weight
Spinner motor: XL Perm
Tell me what I should and shouldnt use

So I just got DSL TC yesterday( It took 26 days until I figured out how to get it) But my bots suck and I wanna know how to improve
Armour: Ive been using mainly Titanium 1.good
Control: Not sure what it is called. Its the big blue onegood
Battery: Not sure what its called. Its the biggest one out of them all though.Not so good. however you are using burst motors so i guess it's alright. usually it's 1 ant battery per spinning motor
Drive: Normal E teks. I dont think I should be using those though it makes my bot REALLY slow.Not so good. Usually you would use the drive version but thats a bit overkill from what you are describing. try NPC's instead.
Flipper motor: I think its a large J somthing. Used 3 of them. Couldnt even lift a light weight.Hmm... perhaps not enough power?
Spinner motor: XL Perm.Perm 80 or 132?
Tell me what I should and shouldnt use

What weight class is it?
But yea you should start a showcase for proper advice

132 perm. Im not really aiming for a weight class. I just want somthing that drives. I will make a showcase but not today. Ive only had DSL for one day. Im still checkin out the arenas. The only bots ive fougt so far is half the Alert team( I think thats the name) ALSO! How do I play as the AI, Such as the Replicas.

Well you have to aim for some sort of weight :P
And thats alright, some people waited a few months before making a showcase...
About the AI, you aren't really meant to play as them but i shall tell you anyway.
In the folders there is a folder named 'AI'. Go in there and you will find all the bots in there. memorize the bot you want and look in the right team for the right bot (should come up as a .Bot file IIRC) and copy it. Then go into your 'robot designs' folder and paste it into there. Go into the game and import that bot into the garage and you now have it.

[GarvinTheGreat]

Well now that I think of it. Probably HW.

[Reier]

Typher, your advice is too general and Garv, your descriptions are too vague. Like when you say you use Etek drive, you could be using it on a HW or an AW for instance.

There appears to be a link for DSL 2.0 bots here - not sure if that's the same as 2.1 in any way.
https://gametechmods.com/Robot_Arena2/bots/DSL_v2.0_AI_bots.zip
Put the contents of that file into the Robot Designs folder of the Robot Arena 2 file.


But yes, make a showcase, showing us a screenshot, the weight, the armour and the insides and we'll be away with helping you :)

Start a showcase to get robot building feedback..

That is all..
