Title: Arcane Does DSL 2.2 IRL Showcase
Post by: Arcane on August 12, 2017, 09:30:29 AM
As some of you already know I like making extender bots and when it comes to extender bots I tend to go a tad over the top. (As in 4000.0kg over the top) But when it comes to building a combat effective bot I'm clueless, plus I've never really had a crack at actually building in DSL 2.2 and sticking to within a weight class.

I've had a spare couple of hours today so here we go with my first DSL 2.2 build, potentially for Badger's International Tournament.

"Parting Is Such Swede Sorrow" or the acronym "P.I.S.S.S" (as in what Swedish beer tastes like)

- Internals (Without the shell)

720.2kg Weight (60kg left to fit in some teeth)

x2 Slimbody (Drive Motor)
x1 E-Tek (Weapon Motor)
x4 WP836E Batteries
x1 Ax2250 Control Unit

Armor panels don't do damage. Put beater bars or teeth on the bottom of the armor panels instead of the wedge edges and you should be good to go.

EDIT: also holy sh** that's amazing

Nonetheless looks super cool. Kudos to you for managing to make a full body spinner interesting

i swear i've seen a beyblade somewhere that is suprisingly similar to this thing, iirc it's Divine Chimera, but yeah as you indicated you're gonna need teeth, a self-righting pole like what Megabyte has could be welcome as well

...welp [slam-dunks Dentophobia into the nearest trash can]

Minor nitpick: I'm not sure you'll need that much battery. You should be able to get away with only having WP836Es, and then you'll have enough weight for four Large Typhoon Teeth (one on each yellow segment) and a Megabyte self-righting pole thing on top. Externally, however, it looks bloody awesome.

So essentially turn it into a Swedish Coloured 'Not'-Megabyte? Well if you say so. :)

Removed x2 WP836Es and reduced the black extender work underneath and added x4 Typhoon Teeth and the SR Pole, coming to a total weight of 790.5kg.

99% sure that's because the shell's rubbing against the ground due to 2wd

bot looks sick. how are you so good at this aaaa

Wow thank you for all the wonderful feedback guys!

The worst I've seen is a small hop and that was after spinning whilst also holding down the right turn key, the shell is everyl so slightly off the ground. The biggest issue this robot has is getting up to speed. I've worked out that if this was a 100kg robot, the shell would weigh 76.6kg...

Lol Thyrus, cheers lads!  ;)

It was a challenge, I had to sacrifice having a chassis and reduce the weapon size to fit it all in!

Jumped into the world of DSL building again, this time without having much of an idea what to build I started with a basic hammer setup and just kind of went from there resulting in;

- SUBMISSION -

795.5kg Weight
x4 Slimbodys (Drive Motor)

Post by: Arcane on September 02, 2017, 04:29:53 PM
Thank you for the feedback guys! I feel like I'm finding my niche when it comes to IRL building and balancing weight/looks/effectiveness is still proving to be an interesting challenge!

Speaking of balancing weight/looks/effectiveness I've made some changes to Cardiac Arrest, mostly reducing the extra junk in the trunk and putting it somewhere useful! The weapon which has been rebuilt now has more bite and the Perm belt is properly going around the extender and not through it. Finally used the last little bit of weight I'd saved to bulk to wedge out with wedge edges and 30 degree angled pieces!

It's just plain sarcasm over the fact that you listed a control unit in the robot's key features.

The other bot I built alongside Submission, essentially just a basic VS setup which turned out like a strange combination of Shard & Bad Kitty with Explosion's colour scheme. I had originally wanted to build a spinner that looks like a honeycomb but alas that idea is on the backburner for a while...

That is not a Panic Attack skirt, he's used alternating black and gold wedgelets in order to do that front wedge, which makes it better imo.

A Glass Cannon, it can't contain the excitement of having two spinners and ends up exploding if a member of the audience eats their popcorn too loudly. Essentially this is what happens when you build without a plan and suddenly realise it's past midnight and you have work in six hours...

So, this is the base of Drillroid shamelessly reused with a flipper in place of the over the top drill! It's a shame it's a tad overweight in it's current form... remind me to swap a steel panel for titanium at some point.

I feel guilty for semi-spamming GTM recently, I have a busy few weeks ahead so it'll slow down I promise!

Modified Contagion into a SHW for Orc's SHW side event, polycarb armour panelling and a much bigger bite than previous. Still a bit of a glass cannon and there's no self righter! Also using this as an opportunity to test the image attachments because I'm not sure if it's actually working for me or not... here's hoping!

797.1 Weight

x1 E-Tek (Motor)
x2 WP836E Batteries

Despite it's lacklustre efforts in International Wars thus far I figured I'd showcase Swede Sorrow 2. The original Shell Spinner version's weapon was too heavy to spin fast enough to be considered a threat in a fight so I took the weight out of the Shell and into armouring up the centre.

NPC motors are pretty common for drive so thought I'd give it a go, this time with a non-spinner. Started out with a snake-style motif but quickly devolved into a semi-thor looking robot in green.

I've built a lot of really weird looking things over the past few months of being on GTM... this is up there amongst the oddest. I built a venus fly trap robot. The first attempt was around 1500kg so I trimmed it down a little.

Haha, unique is always a good word to hear! Lol I somehow think Mantis in particular wouldn't let itself get eaten ;)

I'm not sure how to feel about this. The main kinda chassis part just looks so fragile and out of scale. :/

Yeah it's disappointing for sure, the original version was framed a lot wider (basically a rebranding of Mega Tento) but it was waaaay too overweight. I did my best to scale it down but because the trap itself takes up a lot of the weight, there isn't enough left over to make a proper frame.

I think you would just be better off skinning the disc red instead of adding a layer of red extenders. That should at least free up the weight to make it look beefier.

I haven't had very much time for RA2 recently so these are simple modifications rather than completely new bots...

- QUARANTINE ZONE -

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

After an early exit in Ironbound I've completely rebuilt the shell spinner trying to get it as compact as I physically can, upgrading the motors to get as much out of the drive & weaponary. It's pretty much a flawed design due to the weight of the shell causing the spinner to stop on impact and spin back up from zero but hopefully it at least looks good in the arena!

Weight: 765.6kg
Weapon Motor: Tornado Mer Gearbox 6-Mag Gearbox
Drive Motor: x2 TWM3R2
Power: x3 E-Battery Long

- CONTAGION (HW) -

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

Started as a heavyweight, then I slapped armour all over it and called it a super heavyweight and now I've made some modifications to the heavyweight version to give it enough drive to be a nasty little sit and spin bot.

Weight: 799.6kg
Weapon Motor: x2 Perm 132
Drive Motor: x2 TWM3R2
Power: x2 E-Long Batteries

Yeah a 4-Mag isn't going to cut it for a HW shell. A 6-Mag is the minimum, but unfortunately you'll probably have to cut out a lot of the flair to free weight for that and some batteries.

SnS looking sweet as usual.

Quaratine Zone - Like Pwnator said, 6-mag over 4-mag any day. Also in regards to your batteries, with 3 spin motors you only need 2 reds. Which will give you more weight for the 6 mag + teeth.

Contagion - Looks great, just wish it had some bottom supports. Still beautiful none the less

Thank you lads! Just need to clarify I did actually use a 6-Mag in this build! Had a bit of a brain melt, I'm not sure why I put Tornado-Mer motor on the list as I've never used that motor before... I still have 35kg to play with!

- CONTAGION (AGAIN) -

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

Okay so it's nothing too exciting because it's yet another Contagion rebuild, however I'm really happy with the result this time! Once again rebuilt from the ground up. Taking heavy inspiration from 13 Black, the spinners now sit at a very subtle 2.5 degree angle for little reason other than it looks cool. Plus I've taken a lot of the bulk out of the boxy extender-chassis to make the shape much more compact and (per Hoppin's suggestion) added a support bar underneath to match the one on top.

- CARDIAC ARREST & WARRANTED ARREST -

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

I've been trying to up the combat effectiveness of my IRL bots, this time I went back to the police car theme for another Vertical Spinner to go alongside Cardiac; essentially the same bot cut in half, losing some of the aesthetic & drive power to up the component strength from aluminium and give the bar spinner a lot more kickback. And it can self right this time! :)
Title: Re: Arcane Does DSL 2.2 IRL Showcase
Post by: dragonsteincole on November 05, 2017, 07:02:12 PM
Both are so good, and Warrented arrest (right bot?) is basically how I should have built a bot I've been toying with recently. Such good work.

Yeah I tried to streamline the design to make it more realistic looking (ie: Lycan) but it does seem to have lost a bit of its charm. When I can, I’ll have another go at the absurd trap setup I had before.

Here's a prototype of a bot that's definitely not a shameless clone of S3/Tashic's bot Hammerhead (minus the beautiful paint work). I need to think of a way of detailing it to separate it from being a direct rip off of S3 though...

There's a sharp disconnect in the design of the smooth body and the jagged axle cover/stabilizer. I guess you could use extender spam on the body?

Keep in mind this S3 clone stands out in Ra2 just that S3 stand out in real life. You can add flair with drum mounted wheel guards and/or spikes. Oh, and thanks for always being entertaining with extenders, it makes me happy feller.

Complete rebuild of the Venus Flytrap back to a similar setup I had in the first build but with some serious upgrades! Thanks to Badnik's disc covers I could reduce the weight down considerably and spend that gained amount on stronger extenders as well as a more supportive chassis.

Yeah I struggled with that too, on the versions of Mushi made out of black panels I'd used angled panels to connect the shell up. Sadly with polycarb panels it's so hard to see it doesn't look any different, so it just ends up being a waste of roughly 8kg. :/

I came up with the name and thought it would be a funny bot name so I was determined to make a slot machine themed bot. Figured Axe Backwards would be the perfect bot to ripoff in the process. Only the white panels spin with the gold parts making a stable extender frame, it's a bit overweight at the moment but hopefully I can shave some bits down with neater extenderwork.
