I never saw Complete Control so I don't really get how that bot works
It could be built. The wiring and getting things working right would be a bit of a pain. I wonder how it will do?
I never thought a simple 20 to 40 DSL bar on a Magmotor was that powerful...
...or perhaps it's that because you put 20000 efficiency to all weapons in DSL 2.1.
Lol at Mam-mer Sandwich and DoaM getting owned. Could it beat Enfilade?
you should notice his name is r-0-b-0-sh-4-rk. w1th num63rs wh3n3v3r p05516l3.
I... don't even know what to say...
I want to fight that.
Oh, and if you can catch the reference to Vertigo002 in this post good for you.
Gah. Mine's a speedy rammer. D:
Micro Mayham
From what I can tell, the arena seems to be like a tabletop arena, so I would enter Allomancer, but you never know.
But what wedge did u use for allomancer, eg skirt hinge or Metal hinge?
It's a metal hinge with 2 flipper segments.
Also, what is this crash cube 3 you guys are talking about?
I can't find any topic on it on "contest and tournament", any ideas about the specific rules and where to sign up?
]
For the looks part, I am seeing the 4 stabilizers and 2 wedges being the 6 legs and the 2 Ti skirts being the 2 raised elytras of a beetle....
For performance, I would predict that razor tips to outperform lightning spikes.
Please send Naryar a team. :D
And a link to the video for anyone who missed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWhldQaigzM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWhldQaigzM)
I guess you use a special .py? (I guess it`s py?)
The same as you use for the new Razer replica?
looks very great. Flippers can be done with that as well I guess?
Ah ok
Can it beat Gearhead as well?
It will be available in the DSL BBEANS AI pack.
just a thought, I know it would eaqual cheating, but you should seen what would happen if you put a fridgety motor on him :mrgreen:
Some fun facts:
- The multiextenders are attached to the baseplate, so they're invincible. The only part of the hammer that can break off is the weapons (and the hex plates, but those never get hit).
Why does it use battlepacks?
Why does it use battlepacks?
For saving weight and because it has enough battery power for now... but i would rally use 3 PC545s here.
The aircar rocketed them at speeds in excess of R17 through the steel tunnels that lead out onto the appalling surface of the planet which was now in the grip of yet another drear morning twilight. Ghastly grey lights congealed on the land.
R is a velocity measure, defined as a reasonable speed of travel that is consistent with health, mental wellbeing and not being more than say five minutes late. It is therefore clearly an almost infinitely variable figure according to circumstances, since the first two factors vary not only with speed taken as an absolute, but also with awareness of the third factor. Unless handled with tranquility this equation can result in considerable stress, ulcers and even death.
R17 is not a fixed velocity, but it is clearly far too fast.
....... The idea is that I can box-rush opponents and flip them out before they get a chance to move. :evilsmile: Now if only the AI would drive effectively...Huh. What does it do/not do? And what have you tried, CB?
It just doesn't steer very well. Which is somewhat expected with 6WD NPC fasts with hypno wheels. And it usually goes a little off course on the initial box-rush.
I've tried various turn and turnspeed values, AimError values (part of my new Rammer AI), and a custom py that waits for the bot to settle on the ground before applying any throttle commands (meant to make it do a perfectly straight box-rush). The AI just can't handle such a fast bot very effectively.
Wouldn't a hex plate and razors be better ?
DP. Hope you guys find some humour in this xD

*raises hand* Erm...Mr. Beetle? I think the weapon on Iron Curtain 2 cuts through the flipper segment that's supposed to keep it off the ground...unless it's the same thing as Die-Cast.
Although Ferrous Wheel looks fantastic. I found a Ferrous Wheel shirt not too long ago.
As usual, creative designs.
Though i will gladly destroy them all with wedges AND shell spinners :trollface
I guess somebody doesn't keep up on upcoming tournaments. :PI don't know, he usually knows what's going on :laughing. Love the 2 bots. Especially the saw one. I can't wait to see the mystery one.
Doh CC4 is live? INEEDTOENTER
It looks like a VS with small DS teeth on a hex plate on a piglet.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/28680whosthatbot.jpg)
IT'S A RED RAMPAGE CLONE!!!!!
*bot revealed to be comoletely nw and original*
GODANGIT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- :rage
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/28680whosthatbot.jpg)Click, did you get ideas from my showcase?
...one-wheeled SnS of some description.For all the know, the upper left section of that silhouette is a disk of some kind O,o
it can sometimes flank bots that get under it and make a comeback before it's KO'd.
BEST. NAME. EVER.
It sounds familiar. I think it has something to do with Tad Williams.
And I'm quite surprised it can beat SnSes. o_O
Looks like an excellent prototype, Click.
I also like the wheelguards.
I assume it self-rights fine as well.
????
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/28680whosthatbot.jpg)
And this is probably my entry. That's all you're seeing of it for now.
It's a great counter to both flippers and VS's, so I'm confident it can do well. And that's all I'm saying about it for now.
Oh, and the wings aren't just decorative, they help it land right-side up when it gets flipped.
What's that bot in the first battleshot?
The wedges look bad honestly.
And I have no idea how it can get under an opponent. o_OIt gets under them, like an antlion.
And I have no idea how it can get under an opponent. o_O
...Reduviidae ?
Cool and most certainly UNIQUE design, though I bet you can get more efficiency out of this.
I also have the feeling the femurs are a bit too short, and the wheels should be outside.
It's extremely unstable with a DSL bar. Flips itself over before it can get to full speed even if nothing hits it. With a disc though, it's quite hard to destabilize.

Maybe then you should add something like a hex plate on the center AP of the bar...
All right, who changed my showcase title?
Anyway, I've dabbled a bit in IRL building for Badnik's tournament.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24502undertakerre.jpg)
Simple modification of one of my old bots originally intended for the Lucky 7 tournament, which never got off the ground. I was able to re-use the same AI as the old version; otherwise I probably wouldn't bother entering and focus on Ironbot AI instead.
IMO the bot looks much cooler like this. Few things are more menacing-looking than a 250 cm disc (yes, a solid 250 cm disc... this is probably the only MW to ever use one) with ripping teeth. Of course it loses some effectiveness, but the goal of this design is obviously to undercut the opponent and bypass their weapons, specifically on other HS.
The roll cage still works as well as ever, too. This bot is 100% unflippable.
Not expecting to win Blades of Fury but then again that's not the point of IRL building, now is it.
Edit: Oh and it has the same internal stuff as the original Undertaker. 1mm Ti, 4 ants, Astroflight drive.
I don't know too much about carbon fiber.
one thing though...I played by the rules and went with the 68kg battery.
Multi extenders, ant batteries and control boards may also be used.
Where does the name "Epitaph" come from? My friend on steam is called Epitaph.
Otherwise, Bots look great, like always.
A wild Garbodor appeared!One of my favorite GenV Pokemon, made by one of my favorite bot-builders, and is even has working claws and everything to make the design complete.
You'll forgive me if I got lazy with the splashes.
That's cool. Don't know why are you using 4WD though.
Woah. that is godlike. Way to make me like SandSlash, Clickbeetle. Could you send me that?
Looks fantastic, Click. You never fail to astound me. =D Is it difficult to drive at all, with the wheels at that angle?
Is that NAR AI's yellow BSG ?
I can has Battlebots?^WINNAR^
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/51601thunderhead.jpg)
It's a Pressure Drop-style turret hammer, except not a walker.
This bot better be worth it. I spent several hours dinking around with the skin, trying to make the edges of the chassis look welded and designing the logo. Then I spent several more hours AI'ing it. Turns out Phil's LaserguidedV2.py doesn't work with DSL bots because the DSL servos are upside-down relative to the stock ones, and it took me a good while to figure that out and fix it.
Thunderhead started out as a MW with treads (for the 60kg weight cushion no one has used yet) but it was way too unstable and didn't even look cool. I gave up but then got the idea to make it a SHW.
The SHW version is, surprisingly, perfectly stable. It never, and I mean never flips itself over. That huge chassis with 10mm Ti weighs 510 kgs, which keeps it well grounded. It's also nearly invincible as the sloped sides make it difficult to land a direct hit. And if an opponent does flip it, it can self-right from any angle thanks to the servo turret.
Also, I believe this is the first time I have seen Storm skirts used effectively. :mrgreen:
With all that weight on the Perms, though, are the weapons not a little bit slow?
OK, put it on the bot exchange.Time to fight it against Ea, Consumer of Galaxies. :D
Does look very nice indeed. I imagine it would look better if the axle wasn't so long, though. I think if you tried a Bar setup similar to what I used on Frequency, then that might save you some weight for 30kg hammers.

7 Ants NPC's Tite 5.
Feedback?
Updraft is god-like. Inspires me to do a bit of IRL-ness right now.
Bot exchange, please.
Nope, none of these bots are going on the exchange. Why? It's a secret to everybody.When will you be telling us this secret?
It's a secret to everybody.
It's a secret to everybody.
lolzelda
Also maybe a possible IRL AI Pack secret project put together by Click (and maybe others)?
If so, ohboyohboyohboy
HW for the teamReminded me of a plane with that back wing. Still looks pretty damn awesome though. Love it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50155supercell.jpg)
Only glaring weak point I can see is the side panel between the discs. It's only got something like 1800HP, if I remember rightly (I probably don't), so a good hit to that could take the entire weapon system off.
I can't get why you built a defensive bot and made it a VS.
Besides, that's gonna get outwedged easily.
Oh mighty Click, why does all of the bots have Flamethrowers? Unless your team is a bunch of Arsonists.
I like the team but with the mw would ther be a way of getting metal hinge wedges rather than a skirt hinge ? skirt hinge wedges will get destroyed most of the time unless you luck out and get a match full of lightweights
Team for Survival 2. One guess what the team name and motto is.Rhageal=AWWW YEAH!!!!!!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55423targaryen.jpg)
Rhaegal is a TRFBD with a mostly decorative flamethrower. It would probably be better with stronger wheels, BUT FIRE. It does score a few points though so it's not entirely useless. 6 flail razors, 2 ants, 1mm Al armor. Surprisingly, I've never seen the flamethrower break off.
Viserion is a front-hinged flipper with a secondary flamethrower weapon. That's a reskinned Panic Attack top on top, giving it a strong defense on the front, top, and even the sides (because the PA top collision is a lot bigger than the display). If it can't OOTA opponents, the flippers at least work well for pinning bots against the wall and roasting them with the fire. NPC fast drive + hypnos, 5 ants, 3mm plastic armor. Also 2 large beater bars holding on the flippers that become sort of a lame popup weapon once the flippers break.
Drogon is the best member of the team. I don't think I've seen this done before--a wedge of 70kg hammers. It's extremely effective at de-weaponing opponents (especially with the 6 flails limit in Survival of the Fittest). Two flamethrowers wear down the opponent so the hammers can finish the job, and a heavy plow protects the rear, since this is a rumble. The wedges might possibly be the best of any DSL bot I've made, which really isn't saying much, but they should be competitive. 2 normal NPCs + technos, 3 ants, 5mm Ti armor.
I find PA's top armour a nightmare to use, so gj click.I can't seem to get flamers to work. Also I consider flamers cheap with the current AI we have. TRFBD are cheap enough without the ability to launch flame across the arena.
Also, LW scares me. MW and HW not so much, but all three are highly cool. The flamer makes me like the TRFBD tbh (Take note madman).

I mean, you just throw 20kg on something that can't help you win the weapon war, and you are throwing them on bot types that can deal 10,000 damage with razors in a few seconds. Plus when flamethrower spins they barely make contact.
As Click said, it is for decoration and nothing more.

Right because flamethrower ignores game lag and continue to deal damage at the same rate.........

Yo click you gonna enter a stock tourney soon?
That looks amazing Click. It's also pretty original too. One question, how stable is it?
Unless it goes up against Thyrus' "Yeah Tiny Grinding Weapons Shaped Like Asterisks Totally Work IRL" thing. (I'm just trash-talking Thyrus; I think your bots are cool enough even if the weapons are not quite IRL.)
I personally love Slam bot the way it is.Slambot uses one hexplate to hold on the Vlad forks.
Though I would love to know what extender setup you used and what not. I can't really see very clearly

Very nice bots Click, How well does the Bettle bot flip?
Also what's the text say in Slam Bot's splash?
I'm not so fond of the LW though. Honestly if you put 2WD NPC and some artfully placed 40cm angled skirt hinges as stabilizers it will look cooler and be faster.
Maybe name it after some tiger beetle as well. Even if it doesn't have huge jaws.
It looks almost IRL, if the JX had more support on the sides.
Does the axe catcher really need a burst, or can it be static?i assume it works as a srimech
Does the axe catcher really need a burst, or can it be static?i assume it works as a srimech
The axe-catcher is mounted on a slow mag snapper and doubles as a srimech so it can quickly self-right from any angle.
Having a single extender supporting a huge, exposed dual perm is pretty iffy
I will agree Ephilates looks pretty cool, especially with the wings, but holy hell does that extender frame look way too fragile for an IRL bot. Might need to find a way to make it look thicker.it's not irl he's just trying to make something that's cool and can fight
nice look to it cbThe fact that he's got supports either side of the the disc, even if they are stick thin, and he has little reinforcements connecting the front wedgelets to the wheel axles would imply to me that it's trying to be IRL.I will agree Ephilates looks pretty cool, especially with the wings, but holy hell does that extender frame look way too fragile for an IRL bot.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure at first since it looked kinda IRL from the design of it all.

you could try a moe motor instead of a dual perm and see how that works.Ye, moe motor is great, although if he plans on ebtering stuff, it prolly wont be allowed
Edit: Still not used to the new image-uploading system; not sure what's going on with the thumbnails at the bottom.maybe use imgur or something than a attachment image system.
You mean those lexan/polycarbonate, alu, ti, steel, and colored wedgelets? Yes, they have DP, so they can deal damage, and the description said that they can be used as a spike too aside from a wedge. And for weapon use, some people used the wedgelet as tooth for custom extender made discEdit: Still not used to the new image-uploading system; not sure what's going on with the thumbnails at the bottom.maybe use imgur or something than a attachment image system.
also DON'T TELL ME YOU HAD READ MY ATTACHMENT SYSTEM TUTORIAL
Ephialtes and Supercell (and also thunderclap) look cool, wait hold on, extender wedge count as a weapon?
Also, you mention my AI pack, and I don't mean to get far off-topic, but how often do you get crashes with that pack, cause I hear more crashes are coming from that. Still, good to know lots of people are still getting a fair amount of use out of that pack, even I need to really update that thing to modern standards.
