Devastator's Showcase

[TBD Devastator]

Would probably be in the best interests to get myself a showcase up (What good is it anyway when you're on a robot fighting forum and you don't have any examples of robots to fight with?), despite said robots being absolutely terribad. Granted, they're not as atrocious as the first half-dozen bots were...


Has an alleged self-righting mechanism on the rear, but it rarely works. Aluminum 3 armor.


Incredibly stupid motor placement limits this one badly. Titanium 5 armor.

Feel free to bash this thread into oblivion offer criticisms on the builds, and/or yell at me for doing something stupid.

[Shield]

Hmm, not bad. I've seen worse.

Inward facing motors, rather unique. Not sure if that's good though...

It seems to me Dauntless' chassis is actually holding back opponents from the saw, if possible you might want to get a bigger saw of maybe make the extender longer, or if possible, cut down on the chassis size because there seems to be quite some empty space. Also, I can see that you're using a Aluminum extender, might want to replace it with Polycarbonate since the saw will be holding opponents back anyways. And if I'm not mistaken, the motors you used on the wheels are actually supposed to be for weapons, not driving. But I could be wrong here. What armor does it use?

Hellcat, ah, a rammer/hammer hybrid. You might want to remove the hammer because then it'd be intersecting with the rammer parts, thus not making it IRL enough to join most tournaments. You still have around 60 KG of extra weight, might want to upgrade the wheels (Techno Destructo's and Hypno wheels are the best) And also, what armor?

Other than that, they're fine.

Don't have your motors facing inwards, it greatly reduces turning speed. Don't use weapon motors for drive. Generally all types of Alum armours in DSL 2.1 fails so your best bet would be to use Plastic or Tite which has the best HP per KG. Before I go any further, I would like to ask if you are going for Normal DSL 2.1 bots or stuff that could built IRL.

[Badnik96]

Hellcat looks pretty sweet.

[Domanating]

Hellcat looks pretty sweet.

+1

Although the inward wheels will decrease significantly the bot performance, there's something in its build that I like.

I can also firmly say that you Like WW2 Aircraft. Mainly the American ones 

[Merrick]

Can we get a shot of the front of Hellcat? See what it looks like with the skin and suchlike? I can't quite work out what's going on there, but it seems pretty sweet.

[Sylandro]

Not bad for a newbie! Anyway, on dauntless, in the botlab with the height control bar, put it up at the top, then click the bottom, and you have a low chassis height. Anyway, don't use weapon motors for the drive (Unless your using DSL3 and it has the TMW3R2 Drive)

Look at the extenders, its DSL 2.1

[TBD Devastator]

Here's the front of Hellcat. Due to the weight limit, the wheels have been changed to Vladiator wheels (probably not the best choice) and the front armor has been expanded slightly.
You can also see why the motor placement is stupid.

[Merrick]

Am I stupid for still not knowing what the is going on there? 

[TBD Devastator]

Well, let me attempt an explanation.
The frontal plate is a large array of Hex Plates, meant to stop spinners from tearing the bot apart from the get-go.
On top of those Hex Plates, DSL Bars have been placed to provide reinforcement for said hex plates.
Lastly, there are a few steel shark's teeth and a spike strip mounted to provide damage against attackers and to complement the hammer.
The small "knobs" on the sides are the edges of the motors sticking out from the chassis.

On another note, here is a reminder that yes folks, you shouldn't build robots while barely awake. It results in abominations like this:

Even I don't know what's going on with this thing (probably accentuated by the fact it looks to be a bunch of parts slapped together and called a robot)

[Badnik96]

You could probably swap out the front ford wheels with overkill wheels.

Though ford wheels are rather different.

You also have another 2500 kg to use, use it!

I like it. It's crazy in a cool way.

[Naryar]

what the

also it's messy : make it simpler without losing any of it's good qualities.

[TBD Devastator]

It's bump time!
Since I've been busy with building crappy half-weight UHWs and other insanity, I kinda forgot about this topic. But no matter, I'm not dead! (yet)
Here's a few of the better results, and one that I still have no idea what to call.



Probably the best of my UHW builds, but it's very lightweight for its class. Probably not a good thing.


This one was the result of getting carried away building a HW shell spinner. How it got to almost 4000kg and how it got all those saws, I will never know. Still can't decide on a good name for it.

[Naryar]

Client Crasher is pretty dope, I must say.

The other one not so much.

[helloface]

I like Panther. IRL UHW is certainly interesting.

[TBD Devastator]

...Judging from the latest projects, I am not learning much about bot building. (or skinning, for that matter)



*not actually a beetleweight

And then suddenly wtfrandomUHWjokebot.


Feel free to bash these three new bots into oblivion :V.

[rnifnuf]

(Image removed from quote.)

I really hate to crap in your cornflakes, but that is not a Beetleweight. The BW weight limit is 175kg.

Also I would like an inside pic please.

[TBD Devastator]

Here's the internal picture. Yes, I know Copals are the crappiest of the crappy motors, but it's the only thing that would fit in the bot and shell spinners usually don't need super fast drives anyway.
