Ugly sig. The first was better!

I really dunno about the bot, maybe another angle of the insides to give us a better idea of whats in there.

Nar: You could make the text on your sig slighyly clearer. Achievements looks like Achevemnts.

Note that I started the Interactive Sig fad. :P

Another two robots.
please tell me if they are already a type of bot that people know about or if they are new because i had been going to enter one of them for S32's challenge thing.
first we have Test Bot 1
this is a sort of double diagonal spinner.

and now we have Test Bot 2.
this is a horizontal drum.

i know theres alot of emtpy space on the second one and there not a wedge but it was just a rough design to see what it would look like.

please comment on them.

First isn't bad, but you should use less batteries (say 8 ant batteries) and if you get a hit on these angled connectors it's pretty much the half of the weapon that is gone.

Second doesn't looks realistic and you should use more batteries (10 or 12) :P

Oh and i won't classify these as completely new designs... the first one is an angled VS (there's alreadu a page for it on the wiki so it's not new, just uncommon) and the second one is a simple HS with an uncommon weapon design (done before as well : see Thunder God on the wiki).

have either of them been thought of before this though.

yea i know that the second is unrealistic and everything but i didnt plan it out much.

As Naryar states above, both have been thought of and implemented, you just do not see these kind of bots very often.

a new bot.

Maul Grim.
Weight class : Super heavy weight
Drive : 2 NPC T64 (fasts)
Battery : 7 Battle packs.
armour : Ti 5 mm
Wheels : Vlad Wheels

this is my first SHW so it will probably need dramatically improved.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #68 on:** November 29, 2009, 10:56:09 AM »

I almost didnt see the bot due to your awesome game skin, Is that one of Joe's or did you make it yourself?

First thing I notice is that all weapons go trough the motor, try to avoid that in DSL.
It could be more effective if it was invertible.
The long Ramplates actually are WEAKER than the normal ramplates due to some mess up in the GMF file, remove all of them and replace the side ones with snowplows and add bigger wheels.

Naryar · « **Reply #69 on:** November 29, 2009, 10:56:44 AM »

That top spinner is useless.

And yes, unrealistic !

Pwnator · « **Reply #70 on:** November 29, 2009, 10:58:18 AM »

Quite nice for your first SHW. And sweet UI as well (where did you get it?). :D

But from my experience, Vlads on NPCFs are still kinda slow. Change the Vlads to Technos and the speed will be decent enough for its weight class. Also the 30kg ramplates suck due to incorrect coding in the .txt file. Use a steel skirt or long weapons for side defense. And, I think it would be better if you would swap the top motor for a heavy plow and upgrade your weapons. Next, change your static wedges to metal hinge wedges (they'll increase your wedginess dramatically). And, clean up your extender work on your weapon motors. Use a multiextender and a flipper maker instead (more HP for less weight, and the ME has infinite HP when attached to the baseplate).

And good job on the space management, but you can do better than that.

thanks for the tips everyone.

the ui isnt mine its off Mr Apocalypses chaos ai pack.

ill work on the bot the now

ashman12 · « **Reply #72 on:** November 29, 2009, 12:47:02 PM »

Sorry for DP.

heres the updated version.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #73 on:** November 29, 2009, 02:57:05 PM »

Still unrealistic with the discs, mount the discs to the other attachment point on the motors. Its othervise better now, but you have quite alot weight left to use.

TriTon · « **Reply #74 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:02:26 PM »

Armor?

Somebody · « **Reply #75 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:23:43 PM »

Perms begging to be hit.

ashman12 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:51:37 PM »

SSG/Somebody : im going to go change the perms and discs now.

Triton : the armours the same as it was before/5 Titanium.

Virus Bomb · « **Reply #77 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:52:12 PM »

You only need 4-5 ant batteries on this.

090901 · « **Reply #78 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:53:40 PM »

You still have 134 kg to mess around with too.

Pwnator · « **Reply #79 on:** November 29, 2009, 09:32:13 PM »

And now you can shrink the chassis. Also, halfsheets and 20kg ramplates also suck due to balancing issues. Use skirts or DSL bars or long weapons for side protection instead. And don't use anchors. Use multi-extenders instead since they have infinite HP anyway when inside the chassis. But don't use them when they're outside the chassis since they can easily get ripped off. And again, mount your wedges on metal hinges (static wedges suck) and clean up your extender work (the smaller and less extenders you use, the better). :D
