Title: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.
Post by: Conraaa on March 14, 2011, 01:57:28 PM
It's probably about time I made one of these.
I like making rammers and flippers, so they will probably be popping up the most.

I also like to make robots that it is nigh on impossible to get a good shot of. It's supposed to be a truck, honest. Weighs in at about 1100kg and likes to fall over.

But for now, a new robot from the depths of the warped mess I call my mind.

Too much empty space I know.
The idea is to get under the other robot and for it to grate on the beater bars. It sort of works actually.
When i'm less tired I'll rebuild to remove the empty space and add more weapon power.

I lol'd at the truck, though. It actually looks very, very nice. If you could get 12 wheels on it somehow, I would be seriously impressed.

Post by: Conraaa on March 17, 2011, 03:08:06 AM
I used spiked clubs because they were somewhat strong, and, god forbid, if another robot gets under it, it isn't screwed due to exposed extenders.
I've got some weight to play around with though, I'll add in a smattering of razors to compliment the double layer of spiked clubs.

What weapon motors are you using?

Theoretically you could get away with piglets as the motors as it would just be grinding...but I'm not too sure. :P

I need to build A Very Big Block 2....
Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.

I think he was using Axle Mounts. They definitely work on SnS, but I'm not too sure if they would work here at all.
Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.
Post by: Conraaa on March 17, 2011, 11:15:22 AM
No weapon motors at the moment. But i'm adding a few piglets in. The front things were mounted on 360 axle mounts.
360 axle mounts haven't been bad at all actually NFX. But piglets are probably better. :P

Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.
Post by: NFX on March 17, 2011, 12:01:45 PM
Piglets would be better in this case. Because your opponent's going to be sitting on top of them, and they'll not be moving, and thus dealing no damage.

They WILL deal damage even if immobile, but barely any.

Especially low DP weapons like that.

If it were to use High DP weapons like Sledgies and Razors correctly, It would have maybe have the chassis higher, or the Pigs higher, Maybe both. So yes, there will be problems for is and the fact that there are going to be lots of repairs. Or he could have stuck to the Miss America design.

Edit: The Miss America design WITH the pigs.

The illegitimate love child of Miss America and Industrial Coal Miner.
Top disc on a perm 80, bottom discs are on piglets. 8 ants.

Chassis can be smaller, Dsl's are pointless, use Flipper extenders not angled's, and you only need a TWM3R to drive one of them discs, not a perm.

Most of that advice is stupid.

Perms are fine, the chassis is fine, and what are the DSL's you are referring to?

You should try to swap to flipper segs if you can, however. It's probably better if the whole system is angled down a bit.

Perms are not nessescary, he could save weight by using TWM3R's, the chassis COULD be smaller, but if you say it's fine, you keep it as it is. By the DSL's, I be the DSL bars underneath the FS'.

This is what I sent for my challenge with TRB. It's underweight and too fast for it's own good. I predict it'll last 10 seconds before hitting the blade in the middle and being sent flying. But I couldn't make anything better, and sending a pre built bot seemed a bit of a cheat in my eyes.
The craptacular pun I am immensely proud of though.

Is "I've sent it now" a valid excuse?
I'm happy enough with it anyway. There wasn't enough weight to raise the armour to the next one up or make the skirts steel, and extra ants would probably be wasted as I feel that this one will not drag on too long. No point adding on extra weight for the craic I think.

I'll skin it to look prettier tommorow, I took a stab at it tonight and I couldn't get the txt files working right. It currently stands at about 1180kg.

Uncfl'd the components cfz file and successfully managed to skin the extenders. I can't find the .txt file in the main components directory so I can change it to add the new styles.

You could save it as a single component and not stick it in styles. (I allways do this with tournament entries  because it's easier to make sure you didn't forget a part)

wutchoo talkin bout man... it may be worthless in combat (unless the foot pedals are on burst motors so they kick forward?), but that takes skill to place all the components just right so the bot really looks like what you're trying to replicate.  That really looks like a piano.


Since you're already using custom skinned components... you should edit the damagesound for the beater bars so it makes a discordant piano crash sound when you hit the keyboard.  :gawe:

This robot also needs NarmourBeGoneTM due to the way the skirt hinges are angled.

Post by: NFX on April 09, 2011, 04:33:36 PM
I don't think the wheelguards are necessary, personally. The opponents have still got to get past the hammers to get to them. If you flip the NPC's around, and pull the hammers back towards the chassis, you can make the machine much more compact, and maybe upgrade its armour if necessary.

TBH this bot was really built around it's name. Hence it's I shape.
I could make it more compact and possible better, but then it'd be more "i palindrome i"

The downside to inertia powered weapons is that they need one good hit right at the start of the match or they are up the creek without a paddle.

That looks very easy to flank, so I'd widen the setup a little. Also use something other than a T extender considering that the are entirely obsolete in DSL

Post by: NFX on April 24, 2011, 06:36:31 AM
I'm not certain that'll work, to be honest. The razors aren't going to be moving with any speed when they hit the opponent, they ideally need to be below the chassis.

I think that the top pair of clamps might be a bit far back, and may possibly lack in damageness. Top clamp is a nice idea. I think that mounting the SZ forwards of the wedge might allow you to have the clamp raise when it's fired, rather than lower, to act as a proper clamp.

Looks really good.  But would it be better if you put the beater bars on the edge attach points of the discs?  Then you wouldn't risk losing the beaters before the razors (although that is already unlikely) and it would protect the motors better.


Speaking of protecting the motors, it might be better if the outside spinners were Piglets like the original, so HS couldn't break the motors easily.

No. Dual-layer weaponry has different advantages and disadvantages as such it is a different style, not a replacement for flails.

A Shark's Tooth would do the same job as the hexplate for less weight. DSL Bars should really be swapped for 40cm Tite Sheets, I think you can get away with  CF extenders holding the motors on, and try to make it invertible if you can.

From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand, my intentions~
So yeah, this is an experimental bot. Using the NCR Glitch. (https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=NCR_Glitch) The middle discs that the motor is mounted on spin in the opposite direction to the motor itself. Basically if the bot is moving forwards. the inside disc is moving backwards. It picks up speed aswell so it could probably be quite deadly if made right. It's mounted like this. (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19075mounted like so.PNG)
Ignore the sagging. It isn't too glitchy as long as you are careful driving it.

Either heavy plow or no plow.  Medium plow is almost pointless in HW.

Disc can be drop to just 1 small.  You can mount the beater on the side connectors.

You also want NPC Fast.

The benefit of FS is that you never actually need to win a wedge war flat out.  You only need to get in a wedge lock.  Therefore having just one wedge in the middle is usually enough.

The chassis needs more armor, especially with what it has now.  Scorpion is right, you don't need the DSL bars: the main extender is safe where it is already.  Get rid of the bars and try to get at least titanium 5 on it.

The pistons firing followed by suddenly stopping results in net positive momentum, allowing the bot to navigate via piston. The method dates back to pre-DSL days but is mostly forgotten. Walk This Way and Iron Curtain(posted April 17th, 2009 in my showcase) both use the same basic locomotion concept, however with front and rear facing pistons, it's got full motion control. (no getting stuck in corners)

Post by: Conraaa on July 25, 2011, 09:58:46 AM
SKBT, thats only a small JX, I'm not sure how effective it'd be.

The third prototype for B.O.F is Delicious Hot's ugly, deformed brother*, Disgusting Cold.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97256dc.PNG)

Now, there's no bones about it; it's basically what Mauler would be like if it lost a few pounds. The flails angle down so when the disc stops spinning, which I think will happen a lot in the tourney, it has some form of defense. May put the hammers on medium beaters to eat up the weight left.

Regardless, he completes the lineup of Team Bonzo Dog (http://youtu.be/ABcNAwytrOY) Doo Dah Band. (http://youtu.be/-QU0lOIaBOY)

*Or at least, he will be once I'm through skinning him.

Oh my god. So... many... things... wrong... with... that... F...S...S... *dies*

Anyways, I can definitely see how that resembles Mauler, though my Sheck Spinner expertise are making it hard for me to look at it for more than a few seconds without turning away in disgust. :P My bets would be on Delicious Hot being more successful in combat, thanks to better chassis protection. Out of curiosity, what weapon motor is Disgusting Cold using? Maybe your extra weight could go there.

TWM3R2. It doesn't take an eternity to spin up. Iirc, the next step up is an Etek isn't it?
I would have made a full shell spinner, but as I'm entering a IRL style tourney, I don't feel like treading the blurred line between "IRL style" and "Cheap"

Yup, which is just seems too big and tall to fit within your bot designs and weight limit.

Yeah, I was just fooling around with you. A full fledged FSS would not be very fun to watch, or be IRL realistic in any sense.

Updates on Team Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band:

Dr Jazz: Downgraded to 4 NPC Normals. It was a bit too fast for it's own good. Armour upgraded to Titanium 3 and a second hex plated added on the back of Dr Jazz's head. So when I come to skin it he doesn't end up looking like Professor Quirrel.

Delicious Hot: Now has more than a thimbles worth of fuel for the flamethrowers. Armour downgraded to Steel 3 to compensate.

Disgusting Cold:
Changed 30Kg Hammers for SOW hammers to increase the spinup time. I know it's now more underweight but OH WELL.

And the top claw was originally on a large JX. But then I realised it was eating up space and weight for something which wasn't all that effective. God knows how i'd make it work like Draven effectively. I could probably make the claw setup move, but it wouldn't be able to lift anything.

Sometimes it happens with you attach it to a motor. Any particular reason it's on an NPC Fast? I can imagine that's possibly unrealistic if it goes all the way around. Remove the sledgehammer and extender, Pause, go into the Test Garage and back, keep the game paused, attach the Extender, switch tabs and back, attach the Sledgehammer, then unpause the game. That should keep it from AGODing. If not, the repeat the process, but remove and reattach the motor as well.

1) Well, King Crab followed exactly the same principle and that was accepted.
And for a real life example see this http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=240&t=4493 (http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=240&t=4493) That goes all the way around. I know it's not built yet but still.

I think you would need a narrow "waist" in the chassis dividing it into two halves to do the 360 degree hammer thing IRL though.
 
As for the AGOD, try using a different motor.  I've had the same problem with NPC's, and I've found Piglets AGOD less (which is why I use one in Bisector).  As long as you use some counterweight, a Piglet can easily lift a 30kg sledgehammer.

That said, i'd like to introduce you to the failed four:

Not Constantinople: A rejected entry for Home and Away, I just preferred SHW-Miss America

Now some robots which I made for BB3.
Happy: The Littlest Robot: A quick robot to make, made it, shoved 2 npc fasts in it. Boring.
Memo To Human Resources: I was SO CLOSE to entering this into BB3, but when the disc span up the whole bot would flip and I have no idea how to fix that. So it made way for Crab Jr.
Wintergreen: Treading the damage/realisticness line is annoying! I could imagine this one failing dismally in combat against rammers, so I moved on.

He means to intentionally lose. Have it spin Counter-clockwise (judging from the picture). It protects your wheels better when spinning.
Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.

And have the discs spinning counter clockwise aswell?
Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.
Post by: Somebody on October 24, 2011, 05:05:07 PM
Yes. Discs and bot spin the same way. Use every bit of weight you can on sacrificial bits like CF Extenders. Just things to get in the way. Every time one falls off is damage something important didn't take.

Just an FYI, its much more important to have a fast spin rather than fast weapons. Downgrading the weapon motors isn't a terrible option if you're looking to upgrade external armaments, such as a half sheet or something.

It's unrealistic in the sense that the razors just clip the wheels. If you look closely. And at the right angle.

D.A.N.C.E: A blatant ripoff of 5V = 5IR. Only probably worse. Has a polycarb stabilizer on the back. Front polycarb skirt likes long walks on the beach and agoding to buggery.

Isn't Plastic 10 a bit too much in terms of armor? As TRIAS said, you should downgrade the armor and look for some ways to improve the robot.

The biggest one that needs improvement is the need of top and bottom armor. As of now, the robot is pop-up fodder, even with the heavy chassis armor. So, half sheets should do the trick well.

Well built and all, but that's not even DSL realistic. Your middle sledgehammer is entirely stacked within the other two. As lax as the realistic rule is, that's a pretty blatant violation.

It's the same principle as eFFeing razors onto ME's with True Popups, is it not? I'd be fine with it, personally, as long as they don't completely intersect. I'll be he could reduce it to a LW if the middle hammer was lost, the armour was dropped, and the stuff on the back was removed.

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on December 06, 2011, 01:39:26 PM
Kind of, but not really. The rationnel behind the razors is that you can technically weld a whole bunch together in real life to form a row, but a complete 100% overlap of anything (like the middle sledgehammer in this case), including razors, has always, always, always been a violation of the DSL realistic rule.
Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.
Post by: ty4er on December 06, 2011, 01:44:44 PM
what do you even think dsl realistic is? Look through 123's showcase and he has quite a few stacks like that.

I say it's fine, that's just my opinion though.

EDIT: owait now that i properly look at it it is complete stacking...
I guess this isn't dsl realistic but some kind of thing between DSL and un-realistic :P
I'm still fine with it though, you could downgrade the armour slightly and extend the skirt hinges (it does have an extender you can put on, right?)
Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.
Post by: Naryar on December 06, 2011, 02:01:11 PM
Agree with R0B0. This isn't DSL realistic at all. This is just blatant complete stacking.

There's a difference between half-stacking and complete stacking. Half stacking is a component partly overlapping another, and it can be done IRL. This is full stacking, and has no excuse of realism.

I would personally go for Perm 132's over Four-Mags if you can. More HP, less weight. I think slightly more power as well. Might give you the weight for two extra flail razors on each disc, if you drop down to either Tite 3 or Plastic 5, because Steel 3 isn't terribly efficient.

I think that's my NarAi team setup. Just need to refine now. Unless I can think of a good replacement for this guy. Might get rid of the middle razors and get a flail on the two outer sets, but then it might look too much like something ty4er would make. Only worse. Any ideas?
Title: Re: Conraaa's DSL showcase-The stuff I do on the weekends.
Post by: NFX on December 27, 2011, 11:04:46 AM
With the razors dragging along the ground, I'd imagine it would either score quite low on damage, or tip backwards when it hits a bump. It's a fairly good build, but I'd perhaps try and come up with a better setup for the weaponry.

Trying the hammer trick again? I'm a little skeptical about it, personally, though it's a very nice compact build. The sort of thing I like. I might not have put the rear thing on, I don't think opponents'll get to it very much. I'd lose that and upgrade the armour, personally.

Badnik stop spamming showcases with ads over your tournament. Must be the third or fourth time you spam a main forum thread. That's off topic and that's unrelated.

People will enter if they feel like it or if they find your tournament interesting, not if you talk about your tournament in every single thread you can. See, you're already pissing one off and that's not a good way to make it enter.

You have earned 25% warning for that, and 25% is lenient... find a way to advertise for your tournament INSIDE your thread, or in GCT or something.

Classical is pretty good bro.
Wedges are a little too thin. I'd try and widen the front end a bit so you can get your wedges further away from each other. Also the outer mags are quite vulnerable, so I'd either protect them or swap them for something with more HP like a perm 80.

Looks quite nice. Mags look a bit fragile out to the sides, but I dunno how often opponents would be able to get to them. How's it fare when it's inverted?

Here's a frontal shot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70340screenshot_115.PNG)
Personally? When it's spinning I think it'll be fine. If another robot can get to those mags then SaraBande is probably at the point where it'll lose anyway Imo. Still trying to think of a better way to protect them though, just incase.
And when it's inverted it can get back onto it's wheels from the discs with relative ease,
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/142screenshot_116.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85299screenshot_118.PNG)

And when it gets on it's wheels it has good enough movement to be able to avoid the countout. Doesn't self right though.

Remove 2 irons from the rack and place them along 2 of the extenders there (and make sure the iron's mesh covers the poly's mesh, which might need some rotating). You would need some hardcore axle loading for that.

Maybe put the spinning weapons on top of the Perm axle, to limit the unrealisticness. You could angle them downards a notch or so to keep them at the same level, maybe, I'm just worried about an opponent hitting the axle and taking the whole system out. Can we see it from the back, it looks like organised chaos back there.

Do you really need your chassis to stick out with the e-techs? Perhaps some sort of small extender (like a hex plate) would be better.

Post by: Conraaa on July 28, 2012, 04:11:11 PM
A small extender would work, but by the time I've protected the extender any weight advantage would probably be gone.

Prototype for cruisin' for a bruisin'. Untested as there aren't that many cruiserweights kicking around. And I can't be bothered to trawl the bot exchange for underweight HW's.

Also that should read 595.8kg, my mistake.

Depends on whether or not they make the wedges worse. There wouldn't be much point in having slightly stronger wedges if they can't get under anything.

as for the weapon, you could try a slightly offset piston with poly extenders and change the middle two angled steel skirts to straight ones and get some light ds teeth on the beater bars. use the 4 ap's of the extender apart from the one directly on the piston, it should work

They are all names after characters in British comedy sketch shows...

LW looks alright, not sure if the central hammer is unrealistic or not.
MW looks good as well, should be tough if it can get under the opponent. Plow might hinder it a little, though.
HW does look good, side spinners look a bit small to me, and I'm wondering if the VS will knock opponents away from them.

Overall a pretty strong team. Should do reasonably well.

All of his robots are tied around Monty Python's Flying Circus. The Spanish Inquisition (the one nobody expects) gave that away for me.

Nope! But keep on guessing guys, it's fun to watch.

Basically Voyager except with a narrower weapon rack, more weapons and a subjectively better paintjob. It's been a while since i've gone completely OTT on a chassis paintjob so I thought I might as well.

Oh and The Devil's Gallopers theme is that they have all used this piece of music at some point. It was the theme to Dick Barton: Special Agent, (http://youtu.be/4ZdER4GSRjw) Sir Digby sang it (http://youtu.be/qdiRz9xVlhQ) and The Spanish Inquisition played it while riding a bus.

"After his second wife passed away, Percy Rawlinson seemed to spend more and more time with his alsatian Al.
His friends told him "You should get out more, Percy, or you'll wind up looking like a dog, ha ha."
He was later arrested near a lampost.
At his trial some months later he surprised everyone by mistaking a policeman for a postman and tearing his trousers off with his bare teeth.
In his defence he told the court
"It's hard to tell the difference when they take their hats off.!""



Possible entry for Sylandro's tourney. He may be small, but he can do anything he wants to if he tries hard enough!

Kind of bland tbh. Add some wheelguards or something to make it more interesting.
i assume you don't know of the legend that was malc 1.5

To be fair Malc 1.5 did have wheelguards
Those blades on the side didn't do much for guarding  :dumb)

My father's thinking was that they'd deflect blades away from the wheels, which is why they were pointing directly towards the wheels yeah I have no idea either.

By the time the wheelguards would come into play we would probably have lost a wheel so they wouldn't have mattered anyway.

No but I wouldn't recommend going in with a plow. That's not much fun. There are lots of different things you could do with that depending on what the insides are like

Eventually I'll make a real life baby Malc and be done with it. But until then.

Is 399.9 kg a typo or is Yummy Mummy overweight?

You're completely right. Changing from an orange to a black + ant now. That should do it.
