Title: 8bean's DSL Showcase!
Post by: 8bean on January 25, 2018, 05:08:04 PM
Hey everyone, I just picked up on DSL IRL and decided to give it a shot. My first bot, Purple Nurple is a huge HS Heavyweight that uses frenzy hammers becuase why not and is powered by a perm 132. It has an all Aluminum chassis driven by two fast NPC-T64's. This robot is my entry into GTMCS2.

 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

My second IRL bot is Mustard. Mustard is a very poorly armored and designed Cruiserweight VS but I'm really inexperienced with them so I decided to give it a try. It has an all aluminum frame with polycarbonate panels and is driven by two fast NPC-T64's. The weapon is a beater bar disk powered by a perm 132. This is my entry into the Deathmatch tournament.

Also I suck at image editing so yeah.

Good to see you making a showcase so here's my advice
Purple Nurple's wheel guards needs refining, those frenzy hammer looks flimsy so you need to make your custom bar from extenders, other than that Its actually quite unique, I like it
Mustard seems like your first attempt at a extenderbot, looks decent but it needs stronger motor supports, make those wedges hinged since there usually not effective, upgrade the weapon disc since it will be destroyed by HS, Not bad though, reminds me of Ankle Biter.
Hope to see more

Nice bots here, the first of which beat me. looking at purple nurple, I think you should try to get a 6 mag in the bot instead of a perm. Then you can mold the body to the same width of the batteries and NPC fasts. as for the bar, frenzy hammers make it look different, but you can go with a 50x250 or longer bar with large typhoon teeth.

As for mustard. like neon said you'll need better support for the weapon. Overall I'd just try to make the chassis as compact as you can, this will save you weight in which you can apply better plating. Also hinge your wedges, they'll be much more effective.

Great bots overall, interested to see how you can improve and I certainly hope to get my revenge on Purple Nurple  ;)

General tip for showcases, try not to make your bot image so small, really makes it difficult to see the details.

Post by: 8bean on January 26, 2018, 11:36:29 PM
Thank you so much for the feedback. I decided to work on Purple Nurple first and here's what I came up with.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
 Now it is a little less wide which is better for weight saving but worse for reachability of the blade. I only used the tornadomer gearbox to keep the body skinny but I will probably change that once I attempt making a bar out of extenders. Other than that it is pretty much the same except for the polycarbonate side panels because I'm unsure on how to defend the wheels better without blowing all the weight.

Update on Purple Nurple. It has now reached V3!
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
I am really happy with how this bot turned out. It is extremely compact, especially with the blade.

I can't wait to see how it does in OW2

Also, I slapped this together for OW2 and called it Chicken Nugget.

Also created a new Purple Nurple to compete in Wen's MW tournament.

It is probably going to need a lot of future refining in order to be semi competitive but I am happy with how it turned out.

Moblie Wall looks like a cool version on Tornado, I like it.
For MW Purple Nurple could you use the normal TWMRs as they'd fit in the shape better?

Trust me I wasn't going for tryhard. I attempted to make a Hellachopper CW but instead got a very unstable mauler with french fry arms

Also about supports, the angles that I took the pictures at don't show the spinner support very well. Although, my AW and BW are pretty flimsy

Welcome back to another episode of cooking with the bean. In today's recipe, we will be baking a cruiserweight shell spinner to be entered into Deathmatch 2! This dish is completely original and definitely not at all an evil art project ripoff. To compliment this dish, we will add a side of C-Zure. This addition will compliment Epilep-Z to become a heavyweight multibot for the Comic-Comp Tourney.

595 + 227 = 822, which is more than 800kg last I checked
Title: Re: 8bean's IRL Showcase!
Post by: 8bean on June 15, 2018, 08:17:29 PM
Dont worry chef, it seems that a mixup in the dishes caused the splash to have the wrong course. The Epilep-Z in the splash has TWM3R2's for drive which causes it to be 595kg. This one I entered into Deathmatch 2 because it is closer to the weight limit. For comiccomp, I cooked up a design that used normal TMW3's to bring the weight down to 571kg allowing for it and C-Zure to be under 800kg. My b

I might outfit it with mini typhoons instead of large beaters later because the beaters look a little odd.
Title: Re: 8bean's IRL Showcase!
Post by: Olister92 on June 27, 2018, 04:15:13 PM
Looks pretty cool man, maybe a bigger disk with smaller teeth would look better rather than just slapping typhoons on there
Title: Re: 8bean's IRL Showcase!
Post by: 8bean on June 27, 2018, 11:49:54 PM
Turns the typhoons looked worse than the beaters lmao. Thank you for the suggestions I will try the bigger disc and see if with medium beaters will work with it.
Title: Re: 8bean's IRL Showcase!
Post by: 8bean on July 17, 2018, 01:33:47 AM
The recent massacre of Purple Nurple in GTMCS inspired me to make an even bigger and badder version. Purple Nurple V4 was designed more as a PP3D style undercutter and sports a disc rather than the bar setup that has been commonplace among the previous versions. This decision was made due to the rather ineffective-ness of bars in RA2 at such an extreme length. Also, a durable steel front plow ensures that other spinners will have a hard time grabbing onto the front end.

No because it's HW lol
Its a nice bot and i like the splash but I would change the wheels to something that don't leave a small gap in the armour
Unfortunately any wheels smaller than the tazbot wheels are too small and wouldn't allow it to drive.
Looks rad man, personally I'd change the plow to titanium and change the disk to a more solid one. At HW it might get wrecked pretty quickly
The disc is the reinforced one that still has the slots. It just looks like the weakest version because of cropping out the bluescreen from the transparent parts

Thank you all for your feedback! It is much appreciated.  :mrgreen:

Wow its Purple Nurple... again.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

This one is a recreation of the og. Complete with: a bigass chassis, wide replica components, and the angled panel side supports. It also is powered by a 6mag for the weapon and 2 excruciatingly slow tmr3w's for drive.
I promise the next bot won't be yet another purple nurple probably. I just have to skin a plow for it (which is turning out to be much more difficult than originally expected) and it will be complete.

If it's TMWRs and a 6mag, you could probably make it 10cm tall.

Thanks! I had the same issue with friction on the disc but ya gotta get the 10kg ones if you're gonna compete with all the typhoons :p

I agree, maybe using steel shark teeth would be better

Idk about shark teeth. They have much less hp than the beaters and are really small so it won't offer much bite.

The bot actually didn't intend to be this but an extender got stuck in both piglets making it impossible to remove them and I didn't feel like totally rebuilding the body so I just decided to build around it. It drives properly upright but when its flipped it gets janky because of the way the treads are angled. Also the whole thing is steel with only a few top panels being ti even though there are both treads and a ton of saws heck

A bit late to say, but Abyss is an interesting take for a four-bar flipper, not sure how well it would be, but it's still a cool idea and solid build regardless.

Dune Rat is interesting but my OCD is absolutely annoyed that the tracks aren't the round ones cause the angled ones bug me for a design like this.  Though I know that the Round Treads are annoying and have the absolute worst with AGOD so I understand the decision, but it just stings.

I actually tried the round tracks for this as I do agree they would look a lot better and also work correctly upside down. Unfortunately the curved ends are just barely too tall and cause the back wheels to not touch the ground.

All of your stuff recently has looks, oddly flat

Now that you point that out I can see that in a lot of my stuff. I guess its because 1 high makes it really easy make compact and cover with panels. I'll definitely try and improve on this and make stuff look a lot less like a pancake. Also, I was looking at giving OBJ chassis a spin so maybe that'll help too.

If I remember correctly it's about 2.5 ants for a BSG and 1 per motor so you should have 9 or 10 for full power.
You don't need so much armour really. If you get outwedged you lose anyway.

oh alright, ill drop the armor down and add more batts. I think I might be able to squeeze one more in.

yo if those are steel or tit wedges on the metal hinges just make them alu thatll save a sh** ton of weight
also you can just use skirt hinges (middle AP only) instead of metal hinges to gain more weight as well
You don't need so much armour really. If you get outwedged you lose anyway.
considering its a team tag tourney i personally would want some armour since you are gonna get dabbed on from behind no matter what which is why i suggested he just use a halfsheet instead

upgraded Purple Nurple V5 to crash patch weight by adding a dual perm and beefing up some armor. Also gave it a custom disc for maximum purple factor :dance:

my entries into Triple Threat. Upgrades include:
Purple Nurple M2.5 was edited to use the beltless perm instead of the tmwr2 it used to have. should probably bfe the triangles on the sides too
Purple Nurple C was intended to be a totally new bot but I didn't have very much time today so I just used the V5 chassis and downgraded the internals and disc size

First time making a nightmare clone. I'm feeling pretty mediocre about it though, I dont really know how to make it look better but at the same time it looks like its missing something
Title: Re: 8bean's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Gulden on September 15, 2021, 08:38:30 PM
I think if anything needs re-working, it would be drive motor pods.  Normal nightmare clones have the pods wider than they are tall, however (at least from this perspective) these ones are taller than they are wide.

Been a while since I last built something but wanted to build for botbutster's tourney and thought it would be cool to experiment with a wack color combinaiton so I ended up with this.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Has tmwr's in the back and npc fasts in the front as well as a 72volt tmwr4 on the eggbeater. Its still surprisingly stable when turning although I couldn't figure out a way to get the wedges hinged while keeping the body shape so they're fixed and will get under absolutely nothing.

Edit: Added a panel covering the internals behind the weapon and updated the splash

bot for Size Matters that is basically two overkill wedges with a drisk in the center. Has sucky TWMR2 drive but nothing else left room for the batts, also 48v perm 80 on the weapon.

Rock in stone :cool:

2nd attempt at making a bot with a character driving it. Definitely getting closer to something that doesn't suck but unfortunately I couldn't fit a srimech in with the amount of panels needed to make the chassis shape. TWMR2 for all four wheels and piglet on the weapon. I might end up redoing this in the future since theres definitely room for improvement but I'm happy with how it looks and that's all I really cared about for this build.

Also you will get a gold star if you can guess where I got the driver from

Bot for wen's RA2 is War tournament. Atm uses whipper to spin when the opponent gets close but I'm trying to make a .py that allows the bot to drive in both forward and reverse while also using whip functionality.
