Title: CameraFan's DSL fail-palace
Post by: CameraFan on October 28, 2012, 01:46:02 PM
Well, I've got hooked to DSL now. Don't expect to see much more stock for a while. not that you're missing out
And another way to prove I'm bad, I've only managed to pull off one *decent* bot in the 2 weeks or so I've been on DSL.

oh and PLEASE forgive me for my really crappy background on the insides. Hopefully your eyes don't burn. Hopefully.
Outdated information above!

use the other ap of the control board and put it as far back as possible, that might make it realistic.

its really not that bad of a first bot compared to some other peoples, stop putting yourself down

Post by: Tweedy on October 28, 2012, 01:54:47 PM
This isn't too bad for a first bot at all. Also do what Mr.AS said with the control board and it should be realistic.

Why in the Nine Hells do you use crappy backgrounds when you know they're crappy, and most especially when it is easier to use a normal background ?!?!?

and while nothing special by average building standards, it's pretty good for a showcased first bot. Don't go and underappreciate yourself.

Fixed for you, Sir Almighty Indestructible Destructible Holy Unholy Naryar.
Also an AW coming up that i put together in 10 mins. Most of the work was not making it havok uncontrollably.

Using a mini control board makes it havok to the Moon and back.

You should downgrade to a piglet since they have 8,000 hp compared to 400 hp of your current motor. Then you should be able to get better weapons on.

I'll let someone more uptodate help you with most of it, but I would recommend not using the ice-picks on the last one, and also not using Polycarbonate extenders to hold any weapons on a spinner on, as it will break very easily.

We don't like unrealistic DSL as a general rule of thumb, unless it is so cool no one cares about unrealistic-ness.

You can showcase whatever you want here (as long as it is DSL), but don't expect to enter this in the majority of DSL tournaments.

With Devestator, is this the kind of thing you were after?

(that's upside down btw)

You'll want to move the piglets to the outer AP's of the angled skirts, and then it should be fine. If you were cloning, you've done a good job, and if you built that yourself without even seeing that or something similar before, then  :thumbup

You don't need a background or a spoiler. Just post the bot with the bot lab background. From what I can see, it's looking better from your previous work but unstable.

1st bot: that things really cool. what's the weight class?
2nd bot: as madman3(madam3) said, widen the bot so that the hammers don't clip through each other.And just use 4-8 ants for this.

oh, okay.
but i think a dual mag isn't enough for 3 45 kgs hammers. I think he needs a frontal (and bottom) protection, and an upgrade to a perm 132.

1.Put the weapons at the top axle of the perm so that it's realistic.
2.Just attach the PA skirt directly to the ME and then get a stronger front armor (snowplows i think).
Title: Re: CameraFan's DSL fail-palace
Post by: CameraFan on November 02, 2012, 11:52:38 AM
1. Done.
2. Not enough space for a snowplow on the front and not enough weight for one either. *goes off to minimize chassis space*

Try beating my Singo (5) post without random spam.

Insides first, then i can tell you what to do with le bot.
But what i can tell you now is that you don't need 3 wedges (remove the middle wedge) and that the flipper segments there are useless.

Ditch the Slimbody drive and shrink chassis size so that you can upgrade the outer FSes to mags (and because the mags have a 90 degree shape, you can shorten the extender attaching it).

Complex spinner = HS with motors attached on other motors. Like Infusion.
SnS = bot with fast drive that spins on itself and uses directly his drive to deal damage and sweep opponents.

We're asking you to do both of these in a bot.

IRL or DSL realism?

It's pretty damn clearly DSL standard building. 4 ants for 4 motors, motors halfway through the chassis ? Seek no further.

Well I'm stumped. I've got the complex hs part fine but only my chassis spins when I sit and spin so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong. Is there an existing sns/complex hs hybrid that I can look at?
Title: Re: CameraFan's DSL fail-palace
Post by: Pwnator on November 11, 2012, 04:59:27 PM
Well, I've never seen one to be explicitly used as such (I used to drive Borg Drone and Queen as part SnS, but it was merely built as complex HSes), which is why I want to see one built. :P

Yes drive only affects chassis through magical forces no matter where you put them.  So yes an axle or motor in the middle would pretty much stop the "SnS" part from doing anything.

Halfplates like to say they're colliding with something when I put them on the bottom, I've only managed once.
Quote from: Clickbeetle on October 23, 2011, 10:15:21 PM
If the game tells you "baseplate components must fit inside the chassis" (most annoying error message in the game BTW) it means the chassis needs to be taller.  Half sheets can't be attached to minimum-height chassises.  I think the minimum for half sheets is 0.4something.
right, new version will be coming soon

Is there a fix for the left/right NPC motors placement? These 2 bots clearly show the problem where the placement between the left and right NPCs are different because those, well, green things that you select to attach in the bot aren't symmetrical at all. It gets really annoying when in some building situations the left motor fits but the right doesn't.
Title: Re: CameraFan's DSL fail-palace
Post by: CameraFan on November 24, 2012, 01:24:30 AM
