D'you know that when i started DSL i actually didn't, and when i was modding Forkie i thought they did it by AAM ?
Heh, I think I spent over a year using just the default attachment points, because I had no idea what the unselected points where, or how to change to them.
That unrealistic thingy in the center COULD be changed into a pressured wedge. I'd use a titanium sheet.
DSA is the worst armor in DSL only, but in Stock that's the best one. Aluminum 3 is the same weight but better.
The 25x Post of sh**.
GFT?
...we come here to see robots and you have failed to show any decent robot...Lol. Well I highly apologize for being new.
Do you know that 2 ripping teeth are not enough on a MW HS ?
i think it may be vulnerable against side attack that should reverse it, Same weakness with these 3 central extenders ; You should protect them.
At last, how does this bot turn ? can't you eliminate the 2 front drive motor+wheels and replace them with stabilizer that should allows foe to get near your vertical weapon (use of skirts) ?
VS stabilization think nightmare it had a tripod like layout :-DI quite like the idea of working on a Nightmare-esque layout, this might help a lot with stabilizing it. I'll work on it all later.
here is my 'rebuild'
Just be a bit patient. Sorry if it takes a while, but maybe no ones thought up a way to help you. Or maybe they're really not interested. Or maybe your thread does, in fact, have AIDS.
... That will get completely ripped to shreds within 30 seconds when put against other SHW's.
Inspired by Locust, from the Nightmare team (:
I had a thought ... in RA2 will proper walker robots receive 1.5x the weight (in other words a heavyweight will be 1200kg) ??
also on the flipper maybe take away a few snappers and increase battery's (and decrease empty space :P) the more power you have to more powerful your snappers are
I've tried all sorts of different methods to make them - it's difficult to get it right - and the game doesn't allow for the extra weight, although I could with an anti-ballast of course. I seem to recall the community isn't so fond of SHW's though?
I don't mind them seeming m first showcased bot was a SHW :grin:
As long as it doesnt go over 1200kgs
Lol, so was mine - but it was over 1200kg :P
I know its kinda nit-picky, but try to line up the flippers at the starting position. It just looks a hole lot less messy IMO.
Okay, I couldn't take the extenders away - it wouldnt let the skirts attach otherwise.
Snapper loading.
NO DIMWIT IT WAS MADE BEFORE YOU JOINED THE FORUMS SO DONT BLAME DOOMKILLER FOR CLONING YOU.

A short DSL bar will be more useful than a disc since they are lighter and do damage.
But you are right on the Vlad wheels
Astro by far but if that faces HS it is toast.
It has great looks, but is the rear razor really useful here?
I don't get the point of all that armor on the motor, when you have a wide open chassis
well if it puts you in a more positive mood... notice that Backlash video I posted prior with the VS robots throwing others around ? they only have 2 Whyachi Hammers on the disc (unedited) because of the motor speed they may not damage as much but have loads of kinetic energy
obviously you haven't seen how the shini takes care of business :P
Shinigami had the tendency to go up and over other robots and hack up the rear of the robot (which was usually exposed) the only times it lost without the rest of the robot being destroyed was against ROBO's pop up it was difficult to hit the chassisI see. Guess I am one of the few people who puts full body armor onto everything, I simply don't like taking risk.
I like it.PeopleNaryar will get annoyed at you for using the small CB and Taz wheels though.
Hugged off, fridged off, yeah, protection might be helpful.
Wouldn't it have a slight problem turning because the chassis is angled so far back? If you could rotate the parts (which wouldn't be hard to do because everything is attached to an ME) it might drive better.
is Blood Orange your BBEANS entry?
That looks like it's gonna flip forwards real easy...
So is this going in RIP2?
To me, a Mako-lyte constitutes a dual VS with axle wedges.
may as well enjoy them while it lasts as Naryar is considering getting rid of all the darkrat parts
Larger discs deal more damage with the same motor and weapon, but take up more time to spin up to speed.
I'm not sure if the weight of the larger disc would slow it down at all.

Little prototype... Would probably skin better and do the top neater for the final version.

The bottom disc is mounted on a double perm. which is inside the chassis.
Wheels pop outta the bottom of the disc thanks to bursts, and theres a necessary robot x caster on a skirt hinge too. >.<

Today on Craaig Tries To Build Again Because He Can't Sleep... a reboot of BW-MelloYello. The chassis is actually .1kg lighter than the original when both have plastic1. Happy.
Alu3 armour... 3 ant batts... Larger ant wheels were needed because of some weird camber I had to use because I fail at RA2 now. 80cm bar made me happy though. The decrease in weapon motor power led to an increase in drive motor power, increase in strength of skirts and length of weapon. Heh.

why are you using 1 dsl bar for each spinner
Was just playing around on a recent DSL copy and found this. Can't remember making it.Why do those hammers remind me of bubblegum?
Not particularly noteworthy, just a fair example of one of my LW VS. Pretty sure I shaved some weight off somewhere though, because of that armour, which is probably overkill.
Apologies for the pink hammers, it's from that old axolotl thing.

astro drive, what are you going to outwedge with datI wasn't planning on outwedging anything :P the skirts are more for stability than anything.
Right I've got a solution, make a longer bit of the back part of the hammer that touches the floor and stops before it passes through the skirt hinge
SHW won't be legal because the wepons hit the floor when the match starts. Still looks crazy though.

Max just copied Freeziez's BB rules when he took the series over IIRC.Yeah, I've been kinda lenient on that kind of stuff. I took out the no fs rule recently but I guess I should update that point as well.
I wasn't really planning on entering it because it is silly and probably not IRL. I think there should be some leniency with bots that have weapons on/for wheels, I mean I added the beaters to try and help with traction, not to score points, and there have been a lot of bots with sawblade wheels.
Well do I keep the holes or remove the holes, people dislike it either way :P

Lol mrhalitosis reference
Thanks for the compliments all :)im having trouble visualizing it but ill try following it step by step sometime soon and see if it works. think you could post the bot file just as a chassis so i could see it for myself?
Thy, I'll put Snappy on the exchange when I'm fully happy with it - the lifter not working as the real one does bugs me slightly. I might also rebuild so that I BFE the sides in rather than the front back to stop the eyes being pixellated.
And yeah toAst, it's a BFE thing. Essentially what I did was add 2 extra points on the baseplate, then on the top plate moved them both back 1 so that there was still a set over the bottom back points but the other points overhung the back (giving the bot a parallelogram shape) and then you have to find those overhanging back 2 points in the bot file and reduce their height by half. Click wrote a good tutorial for BFEing chassis height, except his tutorial moves all the points were you'd only want to change 2 in this situation - https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=9216.0 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=9216.0)

(could be used as a SHW half-cluster if an IRL SHW tournament ever came round...?)You could always host one.
Do you have two different skins on those flippermakers?I think the two sides of the flippermakers have slightly different looking textures.
What did I miss here? That looks brilliant. What arena did you use on that last picture? It looks like the practice arena.That's because it is. And before you ask, he probably photoshopped the bots onto there.

The SHW is just too awesome. It looks like Mr. Psycho's crazy cousin.
Seems a little messy but still pretty cool.
If it's on an axle mount does it get any kind of agod issues?
Do all of your bots have eyes? Nice work, btw.
can this even drive straight at all ?
Kinda bothersome since the wheels don't look like omni wheels though.
Also, why use flamethrowers? I just don't get it. :confused:
I agree with RedAce there, would look better without flamethrower.I never said that. I was just curious about why it was there, and Craaig answered my question.
CW is probably the best for IRL-building since you can make decent-sized chassis with enough armor. Sometimes I have trouble using the weight on heavyweights for example.This is pretty much my thoughts too.
CW
probably the worst weight class invented. :')
nah, CW is honestly fine. It's something of a stopgap between HW and MW and it's OK. Not the *best* weightclass, but OK.
Like we need a stopgap between SHW and UHW. At 2500 kg, I would wager.

Well, if it ever gets off the ground, you could enter one of the HW's and one of the LW's in the Father & Son Tournament 3.It will get off the ground, not sure if soon though. Also, those bots look great and I'd happily accept them.

Psycho style, I like your thinking. No idea what Nar's trying to say. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.Won't that give it AGOD though? I hope that actually doesn't.
With edited drive motors it's a lot of fun to drive.I have to agree with Nary, the eyes do turn me off. The design is pretty cool, actually. (might want to "try it out" for myself :yaya) )
Without the middle bar, by the way, it looks weird and unsupported. Because the 2 bars on top have different AP orientation (because of the burst) it's very hard to brace it.

(https://i.gyazo.com/4058cf10e84932cf6d7339f23bcfefad.png)
I like the eyes, they add a sort of biomechanic feel to the usually organic personalities I give robots. Plus it'd be hard to give it more animated eyes with components unless I used the old 'Dizzy' Vlad wheels.Yeah, I can see that. (BTW, I meant that the eyes are just funny looking to me. I feel it should be something else or something (idk...))
I don't think it looks messy and I actually really like the Lightning spikes under the flipper because they're almost tusk-like.
So yeah, for once, I'm basically ignoring what you're all saying :P
Good luck trying it out. Took me forever to line all the stuff up and get the chassis the right size. Mainly the height/location of the tread motors and the bottom plate.
nice teletubbies vacuum replicaFun fact: I believe George Francis made that.
I like it. :thumbup Is it LW or MW?

Thanks Rob!It would take part of my personal tournament I've been talking about.

It does look good yeah. But those bots are harder to be damaged and when all the components come off you have 2 wheels still going strong in the arena
But they are also much harder to hit.
