Title: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on December 10, 2012, 11:12:27 AM
Well, where to start this. I think I might begin by leaving my second piston-flipper test here, armed with 3mm Titanium which I have named the unfortunate name of "MW02", which stands for "MiddleWeight Dioxide". Doesn't make sense I know. It can cheat compete rather competitively with nearly all of the Realism AI bots, all of the stock AI bots, most of the DSL bots, and a few token LWs and MWs from NAR AI. No points for guessing what real robot it's based on.

Also, those horns actually have a purpose. When I'm under another robot, they can tear into it's underside and score points.

Hi there.
I'm pretty sure that setup isn't as effective as it should be due to that long extender arm, if you move the piston closer to the front you should get a better flip out of it, and it would aid in self righting.
And if possible i'd get 4wd, and use multiextenders to attatch the wedges on rather than a baseplate extender.

Even if it's an IRL bot, it's good to keep with DSL building practices - 1 ant per spin motor, pistons only need air (so you could take out the battlepack and add an ant), and use the blue control board. slightly larger but 1kg lighter. Use Multi-Extenders instead of Baseplate Anchors (their smaller, more useful, and weigh less) and you don't need the extenders between the baseplate anchors/shell panels if you move the baseplate item close to the edge, similarly with the piston.

Also you could try using a storm burst instead of the piston youre currently using. It's got a short length but is more powerful.
Finally, beating stock AI bots with a DSL bot is nothing good - stock bots have much much worse armour stats and the components are much much weaker, just because DSL was made with everything much more durable.

Post by: AlexGRFan97 on December 10, 2012, 11:54:35 AM
Yeah this robot was more of an experiment than an actual competitor, and I put "cheat" when I was referring that it could beat all stock robots, as I know it's cheating. But yeah, I'll try fixing it up.

It's unnecessarily huge. Make a smaller chassis.

eheheh i had a bot just like this in stock way back in the day; they actually work somewhat decently.

Post by: SKBT on December 10, 2012, 12:57:32 PM
i tried something like this with the custom "rocket jets" it worked alright.


just some general stuff;

putting your wheels up front will give the robot a smaller turning circle.

try to build as small as possible to save weight so you can use it elsewhere.
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on December 10, 2012, 02:02:42 PM
Well, here's the updated version MW0Two. It now has 4wd, a slightly smaller chassis, a closer to the front piston and a larger CO2 tank. It's a lot quicker and better against opponents but now has a higher ground clearance on the side. Also, the Storm Burst was too strong and havoked majorly, even in the bot lab. I think it may have to be a CW or HW in order to add more protection to the sides and maybe even a srimech.

2wd npc fasts > 4wd mags

chassis is still gigantic, you could probably trim atleast 5-10 or more kg off of that

If you want weapons on the front, use razors. Pole spikes have normals which means they only deal damage on the tip while razors have no normals.
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on December 10, 2012, 03:47:44 PM
Yes but razors don't look all that IRL in comparison to pole spikes. Your choice, buddy :)

Nice to see you showcasing on here, I might add

Oh it's mister resize my images  :p. Raise up your drive motors for less ground clearance and get a smaller chassis.

Post by: AlexGRFan97 on March 19, 2013, 10:15:59 AM
Well, about time I updated this. I need help. I'm trying build a bot with interchangeable weaponry, yet the base keeps veering to the right whenever I'm driving. I've checked the controls and nothing's wrong, is there a component I put on the wrong way? I could put it on the BotExchange if anyone wants to have a go at fixing it.

Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: kill343gs on March 19, 2013, 10:39:42 AM
Game calculates the weight distribution of the robot at the time you put on the wheels and it freezes it there. If your bot is heavier on one side it will veer to that side
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on March 19, 2013, 10:41:17 AM
Yeah, you're gonna want to reattach the wheels. I like the internal symmetry though.
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: Naryar on March 20, 2013, 04:41:34 AM
Yeah, it happens sometimes.

also is that a HW base ? Because you're gonna need stronger motors than that. Go NPC or NPC fast.

You also remind me of Goldenfox in posting style, with less drama. Hmmm... IP check tells me you're not him, so don't mind me.

Well the omnibot is an MW, and I've already built them and now I just have to skin them. Meanwhile, since Badnik built one, here is my attempt at building an LW with a 4wd NPC drivetrain, which I have given the cheap name of "To Me" (due to my limited photo editing skills):

Here's SnowJob, for the DSL3 temporary AI pack.
Weighs 773kg with Al3 armour. It's fully invertible and never gets out-pushed by anything. The saw hubcaps also cause a bit of damage, whilst the Heavy Plow takes it.

Far too underpowered....unless it's a geared one.

Other than that it's fine.

Took forever to find a weapon setup that didn't slice through the body completely or make the robot fly out of control. Ti5 armour.
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: martymidget on April 07, 2013, 08:40:16 AM
That's.....

erm...

not good at all really.

Why not just attach a perm directly to the anchor and have the weapon go over the body?
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: Naryar on April 07, 2013, 08:53:15 AM

You need more weapon weight, less butt-ugly, and more protection overall. It doesn't look at all like the original as well.
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on April 07, 2013, 09:05:05 AM
Perm 132 variant with 30kg hammers:
If this fails I'm going to make one that looks more like the original, similar to M.O.E.

Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: AlexGRFan97 on April 07, 2013, 11:04:52 AM
Stuck here with what to use the extra weight for. I'm thinking of putting teeth on the disc as it can actually get under the stock opponents even when spinning at top speed but it might not fair well against DSL3 opponents.
Weighs 500 and something kg.

Now that the window for people making robots that are designed to combat/copy your designs is closed, I can now reveal my BB6 entrants:
(http://s16.postimg.org/jrlbd4mlh/Full_Team.png)
LW: Sliced - After failing many designs, went with a generic thwackbot with a 45kg hammer on it. As long as it keeps its unprotected rear end away from opponents/hazards, has the potential to do well.
MW: Articulator - Competing with a drum setup and a scoop (not pictured). Should put up a decent fight and who knows, might take it all if it has the right draws.
HW: Diced - Originally wanted to make a HW version of VB's Taurus, but couldn't find the small flipper in DSL2. Once I found it, I had already built this Diesector lookalike. Gets under most robots but if it fails to do that, flips itself. Hammers are a little short. Might win its first fight and possibly its second, but I don't see it going far without in-arena experience.
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on April 28, 2013, 02:37:44 PM
I already tried a Diesector in one of the earlier BB tournaments, and Freez couldn't AI it at all. Just saying you might lose a match due to your hammers flailing.


The bots look pretty cool, and I love the color scheme.

I'm not Freeze  :dumb). Got it to work but bots hardly come into the hammerzone.
Title: Re: AlexGRFan97's craptacular DSL showcase
Post by: Naryar on April 28, 2013, 02:52:44 PM
i think the diesector thing just needs an omni base + 4 FrenZy.py routines and 4 different smartzones.

Shouldn't be too difficult to create.

It kept flipping itself over and over IIRC. My hammers aren't powerful enough to even lift the bot slightly though, so I'm not really worried about that aspect.

Yes, I do realized that koss. I was just wondering if the forward part flipped.

although it probably doesn't, but he still needs to strengthen it.

Got 30 kilos to spare with 5mm steel rather than the old 10mm steel. Here's the current setup:
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2d2fa8g.png)
Should I add another battery, add spike strips to the top or find a way to protect the rear end? Oh yeah, internals:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/295y6vk.png)
Incase anyone's wondering, the Battlepacks are in there for quick, immediate power whilst the Long/Fail batteries are for endurance. Thanks to the skirt hinge, when flipped the plate collapses and becomes flush with the chassis meaning almost nothing can get underneath.

BTW, I will swap the weapon motors to TWM3R's provided I can make some room on the baseplate.

Those wedges suck from the fact that they're polycarb and the way they're mounted. AL10 armor is 0/10 pretty bad. I'd do plastic 5. Never use T connectors, they suck. IDK if you need the disc to be solid either.

Okay.
1) Try mounting the drive motors on a multi-extender each, that'll save all the weight from that extender setup.
2) You can still use a multi-extender where you've used a BPA, and just connect your poly extender via the side.
3) As mentioned, those wedges suck. Personally I'd recommend doing what I do on my signature VS style - mount either angled skirts or dsl bars on the side, pointing diagonally forwards. Means you won't have to outwedge anything to hit it.
4) You could totally run it with 2 less ants and different armour.

With all those bits changed you could even use NPC's for your drive, which you may find you can attach on the baseplate.

Yes, this thread is quite old isn't it? I did get to work on Sliced 400 briefly a while ago, but I'm too lazy to upload pics. Anyway, here is a teaser showing the first two ARC replicas I will make, SHW No Quarter and MW Holy Kahuna:
I will start a Custom Showcase as I add more components to these robots. If anyone has their robot's skin, it would help me greatly.

What's up with the SHW. Is it a rammer, or IRL popup, or what...

i believe no quarter is either a flamer of a flipper on ARC but i could be wrong.

I asked the same question to myself. I'm guessing it's a rear-hinged full body flipper (similar to The Matador's S5 variant) judging by the two lines going across the body. I sort of need NFX to clarify that that is the weapon the robot uses and of course for the skin.

No Quarter is a 4-bar flipper.

So similar to BioHazard/Ziggy then?

Oh god how long has this been? *coughs up dust* Ah well, time to showcase what will be my last IRL bot for ages, Diced IV. Because it seems you can't be taken seriously on a bargain bin sequel released in 2003 based on real life combat robots without building complicated monstrosities that barely resemble real-life robots first. In other words, I'm going to start making a few DSL-S bots.
