hecko everyone i decided to start playing dsl more so i am starting a showcase
first bot ,the chosen one
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79920dsl01.JPG)
-
Much better than your stock ones.
-
Wheel fail.
-
i know that v2 is comin right up!
-
Use grippier wheels.
-
i put on some mud tires and it wrks gr8
-
Mud tires = no. They're even less grippy, and are a bigger target.
-
Wheels to use:
WBC
Technos (a LOT!)
Vlads
Hypnos
Tornadoes
Tracks
Overkill tires (Looks only, WBC are the same grip and lighter)
All the other ones are reserved for emergencies, because they are not grippy for there size or have some other issue. For example the smallest ant wheels are havok factories.
-
In other words read for grippy.

Not realistic.
-
i know that!!!
-
Well, non-realistic bots aren't appreciated much here. Which is why DSL was made.
-
oh ok

how do you attach the skirts that are used as wedges
edit: the chosen ones big brother

-
try the other ones like WIIDE load...
-
The E-shape is unnecessary. Put them side by side or better yet use one instead. Also. the large tanks have a bigger air-to-weight ratio.
And the most important thing, reduce chassis space. This rule applies to all bots made except for replicas.

I'm guessing it looks like his "great" SnS.
-
how do you attach skirt wedges
-
Get the skirt hinge in your "extenders" section and put it on your bot.
Then, attach a skirt to it.

fixed it up :-D
-
Oops. ><
-
when i try to attach the wedge it faces straight down
-
You have to set it like a burst motor.
-
oh
-
i dont know what to build next, any ideas?
-
Maybe some possible entries for 1 vs 2.
-
whats that?
-
A Tournament...
Just make a HW & a MW and spam Russian Roulette with em :3

How can you drive? There's no hammer.
-
it doesnt drive it just spins around
-
how do you attach the skirts that are used as wedges
You use the skirt hinges.

heres a zorro clone (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1112100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.JPG)
-
Stop cloning and make your own bots, Its better that way...
Or atleast Re-Make someone's bot, And do it better :P
Also, Instead of Skirt Hinge use the Metal Hinge (The one thats on the doors) it make a WAAAYYY better wedge
-
Have you seen the latest Zorro, Z3?
https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64074Z3.PNG
-
here is a lightweight vs?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16440untitled00.JPG)
-
interesting concept but do the razors go through the skirt hinge mount ? also try something like hypno wheels as opposed to ants :-)
-
I don't think the intersection matters. In real life you can attach each skirt on its own (but it saves weight here).
Hmmm... probably too quick for that. The design is more brittle than a sawbot. Use a simple box chassis, downgrade the drive, use mutli-extenders when you can (inside the chassis only), and upgrade the motor to maybe a mag, and fiddle around with the weapons.
-
Try COID.
-
Give....up....on.....that....SFTW....LRA2....

i dont know how but i finished gutripper 2 and it flipped a car!!!

-
:O
A lucky hammer can take away that brittle extender. Use a drum and see if it improves or not. :D
-
As a bit of advice, you can remove the baseplate anchors completly, and attach the multiextender directly to the baseplate.
-
here is gutripper 2.11 he has his drum better attached
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52724untitled00000.JPG)
-
Looks good, but do this...
As a bit of advice, you can remove the baseplate anchors completly, and attach the multiextender directly to the baseplate.
-
Yes, do as urjak said and lift it up so that you can directly attach the motor to it on the outside and move it closer to the center so you can then attach that drum without having a weak extender in the middle, or you dould attach 2 small drums with small beater bars on them.
-
here it is (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64731untitled000000.JPG)
-
Use a short multi-extender and raise it up.
-
He is...
-
That's the medium, isn't it?
-
yup, it is.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17650untitled0000000.JPG)
-
Looks kinda too underpowered. You don't need the rear stabilizer since most of the weight is at the front. And it would help if it had wedges.
-
like pwnator said, remove stabilizers and replace with wedges... ditch the battlepacks and get ants (you can cram more in there) if you still want rear stabilizers use 1 or 2 half sheets attached to the base... also whats the weight and armour ?
-
well i traied that and it failed so i built this using the chassis and drive
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94679untitled00000000.JPG)
-
O_O on the battery overboard...
-
What's powering the disks?
-
Hamsters.
-
Perms of some kind. You can just barely see them behind the disks.
-
perm 80
-
Try tweaking it a bit and getting 160s in there. Mainly by removing some batteries.
-
yeah I was talking more juice to power your duel perm .. not more juice to power your city :shock: lol interesting weapon setup but the chassis would need more protection should a bot wander over those discs
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61188untitled000000000.JPG)
-
still a heap to much battery's in there take some out and attach a half sheet via multi extender to the front and maybe one or two on the base
-
Not bad for cloning Thor. Still overkill on the batts, though (you can slightly underpower for HSes). However, you can't make the motors spin in sync, so you have to not make their spinning radii intersect. Also, the wedges don't do much if the weapons are in the way. :P
-
it is not a thor clone!!!!!(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80181untitled0000000000.JPG)
-
Not anymore....
-
here is another bot with that chassis

i built a mw flipper that can flip a car

Most can.

It's a weird glich in RA2. Can we see the insides?
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73991untitled0000000000000.JPG)
-
You need more burst motors in that thing. I would say three of the type your using should be enough.
-
does anyone know how to use hamachi?
-
Can you be a bit more specific?
-
how to connect it to ra2 dsl
-
Join a server. You are connected when you start RA2.
-
does anyone want to fight in dsl? ra2 dsl fight :password is ra2dsl
-
how do you fight other people with hamachi do you use multiplayer or what
-
You have to join a RA2 Hamachi server. Then find a guy who will fight and go into RA2. Go to multiplayer and click the LAN setting.
-
will anyone fight me on dsl the server is ra2 dsl fight the pass is ra2dsl

-
Bigger discs would be good. It would cover the motor more, and you would be able to scoop bots up on the wedge and hit them from underneath with the weapon.
Otherwise, a nicely executed design. What's the weight?
-
799.4
-
Very interesting design. Pussy wheels don't really give much grip for the weight. You'd be better with bike wheels. Also, the motor looks VERY exposed at that position. use the bigger replica blade to lessen the risk.
You can also use a weaker drive (NPCFs would work) and use 2 Perms instead. Your motors will be more protected and can pack a bigger punch. No idea on how to solve the srimech however.
-
here is version 2
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2149untitled000000000000000.JPG)
-
The motors are kinda slow for discs that heavy. Try to use Perms instead.
-
v3 with stacked backlash discs and perm 80s
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22834untitled0000000000000000.JPG)
-
Looks nice. Too bad you need to rebuild the chassis to make it really better. But without altering the chassis shape, raise the motors up a notch so the ground clearance is at its lowest possible. Because of that you don't need the rear stabilizer anymore. Also, if you attached a halfsheet to the skirt with a wedge sticking out of it, if the wedge gets removed, the halfsheet can still function as a wedge.
If you really want it to be good, you should just use a box chassis and have more weapons.
-
that wedge at the rear is to keep other wedges from gettng under me
-
You don't need a rear wedge if your bot is fast enough. Now that you've said it, you can use the weight on Technos (be sure to protect them, though). Just drive well and you won't have a problem.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6700untitled00000000000000000.JPG)
-
Now that you've got most of the components right, you should rebuild the chassis so you can add wheel protection and possibly more weapons.
-
Why hasnt anyone told him to show the weight of the robot? Its easier for us to tell you what to do with it if you do so, also dont forget to tell us what armor its using(hint: Titanium is best in weight to armor ratio)
edit: I didnt look at last page before writing this.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36927untitled000000000000000000.JPG)
-
You don't need the pistons since bots barely reach there anyway (the side protection is for a 'just in case' scenario). You can use multi-extenders instead of anchors since they're both invulnerable anyway (and the ME weighs less and takes up less space). You need to strengthen the extenders that hold the wedges, or better yet, use large angled sheets instead. Also, you can protect the motors more if you used the longer versions and mount them directly to the chassis (just ditch the tanks and convert the anchors and you'll get the space). :D
-
oops i forgot to apply armor so here is the revised version with ti 1mm
also the pistons are so it still has weapons if the discs fall off
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/381600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.JPG)
-
Uneven symmetry = do not want.
Use the Side NPCFs and have the bulk of the motor outside the chassis so you can have a smaller chassis with the same components. Also, you don't need pistons. Static weapons would work. You should use the multi-extenders ONLY if the extender is in the chassis. You'll save weight and space for that. And the reinforce or upgrade the extenders holding the wedges; they kinda look too vulnerable for a HW.

a for fun bot

Like we keep saying, a large air tank is much more efficient than a medium, and medium > 2 smalls.

heres a crawler fs
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31321untitled000000000000000000000.JPG)
-
Servos' don't require power so just turn the slims to NPCs (or fasts if possible). Also, widen it a bit because the typhoon spikes intersect each other.
-
Why is it so difficult to include the weight? You must always show it, so we can help and judge the bot better.

-
Make sure the opponent cant get out by the sides.
-
I think the flipper on the back could have been used to a better purpose having a back exposed isnt that bad if...
- the bots front (weapons,wedges, etc) is killer
- the bot is fast
on the subject of your crawler (something up my alley) intersection = not good and battery overload... despite what the servos say they need 0 battery power, take out all batterys and slims and put 2 servos in there.... take a look in my DSL showcase for killer ways to use servos ;-)
-
thats a srimech on the back not a flipper
-
Instead of a srimech, make it invertible instead.
-
raising the motors up a tad and adding bigger wheels (vlads might be good) and take away the whole sremech setup and you will fine your self with around 50kg extra

thats pretty good but using the side attachment points of the multi extender to protect the wheels a bit more would be a good idea, just basically do away with the polycarbonate extenders and then you might be able to use aluminum sheets for the wedges to make them stronger rather then the other polycarb

Hey, dude. Don't always expect replies minutes after you posted your bot. We'll most likely reply when we view the showcase again.
For your latest FS, I like (would be better used as your BBEANS entry than the HS). However, you don't need an extender out of the multi-extender to connect your piglet. Just attach the baseplate extender such that the attachment point is facing outward. You can also raise it a pinch if the resultant is too low. Same thing applies for drive (I can't see how you attached your drive, though). But turn your drive 90 degrees (clockwise or counter is your choice) so you can use Vlads instead (same grip for less weight and more HP). Shrink your chassis by making it into a box so you can have more weight for wheel guards, armor, whatever's useful (Yayoi's trapping sheets would be better IMO).
-

Me likes!
-
Me likes!
U didnt have to quote the whole pic....
Do what pwn said and attach the piglet direct to the multi exteder. Also, by the looks of it, ur drive are also attached to mutli extenders off multi extenders ( that was a mouthfull) A lucky bot will hit those and u have lost ur drive so also attach them directly to the first multi extender. Though what u will find out is that the AP are weird on the ME and One side will let u attach the drive direct to it while the other wont so u will have to rotate 1 of the me
Edit: pwn what to u mean by "yayios trapping sheets"?
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95023cyber-nova.JPG)
Also, I think you have a bit too much armor. Yayoi's probably uses 1-3mm plastic (but surely can upgrade if he shrank the chassis a little). With your drive, you should have something like 1mm tite or something with the same weight.
-
That Face Spinner of yours looks unstable. If you can, try to use external armor as much as possible, it helps in being more stable and if built well, can be used to trap opposing robots (just make sure they don't go past you or you'll find yourself getting badly mangled).
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70443untitled0.JPG)
-
Better. But the Typhoon spike's kinda useless. Also, turn the motors toward the front and make sure the trapping sheets also protect the drive. You're probably gonna need Vlads just in case it gets inverted, though.
-
Vlads and two ant batteries. And the TWM3R's on POW Armor II were angled funny for a reason, you know?

(Also the video is up now. I'll edit my last post so it isn't so "in your face")
-
no the disc is not powered
-
Hmm. Well, it does solve the problem of the bot spinning rather then the disc.
-
Looks like it might spin a bit slow, doo.
-
actually it spins fast
-
Exponential Decay clone.
-
Exponential Decay is a SHW flail shell spinner.. doomaster543's bot is a HW Static SnS... they may look similar but very different
-
Chassis shape = <3.
Motors = meh.
4 NPCFs is merely average for a HW SnS. Try 2 Drive Eteks with Technos for faster spinning. (Dunno how you could squeeze that inside the disc, though).
-
take a look at head chef, ED and HyperCube-2 all have E-Teks under the shell
-
That's because they all use bigger shell (note the 5 'spokes'). DM543's only has 3.
-
That doesnt actually look to bad but u might want to consider using drive eteks like everyone was saying:-D

here is a new bot called tha thumperizers revenge
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90878untitled.JPG)

Instead of wheels, just use an extender sticking out the top.

Appears to be unrealistic, since you attached the bars to the inside attachment point, change them to the outside ones.
-
heres a mw popup
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/87795untitled.JPG)
-
HEY, you ripped of my Thumperizer joke bot name. <_<
Anyway, as SSG said, attach the bars to the Perms' outer attachment points to be realistic. Instead of the balance wheels, use long extenders instead or half-sheets.
And I can't comment much on your MW unless you show us a clearer view of the insides.
-
RFS made a DSL Thumperizer.
-
He made a DSL version? :O But I do know the original one. Which is why I made a Trinity VS joke bot out of it. And I called it Tha Thumperizer's Revenge. :SS
Meh. Anyway DM543, post more pics of your popup so we can analyze it. :D
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60673untitled.JPG)
-
Next time, zoom in on while on the overview page and don't mouse over the build area when you go to the components tab. It'll give you a closer view.
It would be better if you had NPCFs on Vlads (Hypnos would be better). Side protection isn't that important if your bot can turn fast enough. Also, the bot isn't that realistic since the snapper arc would eat up a big hole through your feeder wedge.
-
and now i give you
SHW Black Bull
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/28824untitled.JPG)
-
SOO SLOOOOOOOOW...
You'd be better off with NPCFs or Drive E-teks. Also, that weapon is too slow. You have so many weapons that barely reach out. Take them out and use a stronger motor.
And come up with better names. :P
-
And are you even trying to read the posts we make? Or are you just making bots and discarding all advice given?

Lightning spike= Why?
-
coolness and counterbalance
-
Why do you need counter balance?
-
Metal hinge on the back = no no. Use a Multi extender and the weight somewhere else.
-
@ribbs :it is very unstable when it fires the weapon but the spike makes it jump less
-
Is Black Bull a reference to the Shadow the Hedgehog boss?
-
yes!
-
It is? I though it was a reference to this
(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fzero/images/thumb/4/4b/Black_bull.jpg/200px-Black_bull.jpg)
Anyway, hammers are naturally unstable. I would assume the trick is to make a chassis that can take it, not an out of balance hammer that won't go full speed.
-
That looks like a F-Zero GX car... (Old Nintendo 64 Game)
-
That IS a F-Zero X car.

F-Zero GX is on the GCN, and the car is called Black Bull. Relevance ho!

Pussy wheels aren't that grippy. Try Tornados instead. But it should probably need drive protection and stronger saws. Grog can take it out easily. Cool attempt for a semi-freak bot, though. :D
And is that burst already at its starting position? o_O
-
no thats its end position
-
What is the point of those flame throwers on the back? They wont reach any bot from that height.
-
i had some weight left so i made that for decoration

Using extra weight for armour/overpowering is better :P

-
Get rid of the rear stabilizers and small spikes (forgot what they're called). If the weight distribution is perfect, it won't need stabilizers. With the saved weight, use it on 4 razors instead of 2 spike strips and have longer wedges, maybe 2 metal hinges.
-
the weight distribution isnt perfect

If the weight distro isn't perfect, fix it. And a single spike strip on a JX is overkill. Make the chassis lower and use a BSG instead.

my very first true popup
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66318untitled.JPG)
-
Hold on for a sec. Those 2 dont look realistic. Do the extenders and weapons go trough the batteries and controlboard? If yes, make them so that they dont.
-
Also, personally, I wouldn't want the extenders on the outside like that.

heres a drill/wammer hybrid

dp!!!!!!1
one hit did this to super sns
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66953untitled.JPG)
-
But look what it did to your bot first...
Super SnS only has 1mm Titanium, so the chassis is by no means indestructible. It IS very hard to hit though.
-
I don't think Doomaster's bot could take the next blow...
-
The real question is... Did you win?
-
no
-
sorry bout the double post but i came up witn a cc3 entry
presenting , hazcube!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44428untitled.JPG)
yes i know hazcon was a juggler but i couldnt fit the twm3r's in the chassis
-
Just to start off with, I believe your wheel guards are a waste of weight. As far as your weapons go, you want more weapons in my opinion, as face spinners tend to hit other bots weapons, while jugglers do not.
-
1. Wedge looks a little steep
2. 95% chance Naryar won't be happy about this.
-
heres an antweight
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76294untitled.JPG)
-
Invertible please.
-
i dont know how to make it invertible
-
Maybe rebuild it...?
-
Invertibility is the key for most bots.
-
Make it invertible by making the chassis as low as possible. Use an ant instead and use the small control board. You can put the drive inside the chassis, and use a single multi-extender in the middle and attach a sledgehammer to it.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43407untitled.JPG)
here is a new one
-
What armour?
The flipper extenders are kinda vunrable and U might want a 4 mag for that kind of weapon
-
the armor is 1 mm titanium
-
Is it stable?
-
its very stable
-
Probably cause the weapons spins at about 5 mph.
-
:tongue:
It'll just take until the heat death of the universe to spin up, but then it'll be fine! Seriously, you need a bigger motor. Actually, jut don't imitate T O U R Q U E, that robot failed pretty horribly. If that wasn't your intention, forget I said anything.
-
no the weapons are very fast and have a good spinup time
-
Define 'good'. How long does it take to full spin up? :P
Put the motor inside the chassis instead so you can get rid of the oh-so-brittle flipper segments.
-
i havent posted in a few days but i have made an attempt at originality

the plows are for blocking hammers
armor is steel 10 (it was meant to be a mw)

Walker, hmm....

does anyone have any suggestions for improvement

Are you sure it's original? Seems like you based it off R1's Iron Boxer. :P
Probably the original element is the one that intrigues me: How is it invertible? :D
-
it is pretty much impossible to flip it onto its "head" but it can crawl laying on its back

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42192untitled.JPG)
-
I can't even achieve 100,000+ points......
-
So how well does the walker move?
-
a bit on the uncontrollable side but well nonetheless
-
So its uncontrollable but it can still move well? =S
-
no i mean that it turns a little too fast
-
Those are burst pistons right?
You are right, I just tried it. It's no walker, more like a rocket, though somewhat uncontrollable. Perhaps instead of huge motors maybe we can start making shell spinner with this broken physics (how piston moves you forward rather than back). Although, may I ask why it is at an angle and not flat?
EDIT: NM I see the lift is there to reduce fiction to the ground. This mechanism could make some really good LW/MW since it beats all the low power engines + wheels (in both performance and speed). While not very realistic, I must say it's a really good build
-

Pretty good, but:
Fill it up with ant batteries not battlepacks
the real one actually has short extenders and long Perms
everything is mounted off the corners on the real one.
But that is actually close and really good so it seems. Isn't it just deadly?
P.S. if you ever enter that in a tournament...
Dodongo looks good too.
-
@Doomaster, whats the drive setup(like forward, backward, left and right) for dodongo:-D. The next bot I want to make is a SnS:-D. And are those NPC'S fast?
-
the drive is npcf rights
-
I would try to squeeze another ant battery or two into dodongo.
More power always helps with SnSs and you have room and weight for them.
-
actually those ants are stacked
-
We don't stack stuff in DSL.
-
the drive is npcf rights
Ok, but whats the config for them like clockwise or counter clockwise?. I hope you understand what I mean:-D.
-
counter clockwise
-
counter clockwise
is it clockwise for forward and back, and left and right?
-
I doesn't matter which way it spins. It all depends on the bots design.
The best way to get it to spin is the way it'll protect your wheels the best. See how on the SnSnSnSnS Clone the wheels aren't straight, like the original? That bot should spin clockwise, because if it does, the wheels end up more tucked behind the weapons, and better protected
-

Good job. But try using a triangular chassis (with the ant on the wide end) and add some protection of some sort. :D

Unclick the 'snap to grid' part and stretch the chassis out a bit.
I'm gonna try that when I get my DSL fixed and I'll get back to you. :D

Make it bigger then.:-D

GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY IS NOBODY POSTING ANY COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I don't get many comments too. Be patient though.
The Perm looks very exposed. You sure it'll be alright?
-
Invertible instead of the srimech please.
-
Because some poeple might not be on at the same time as you? And maybe the bots arent just not impressive enough.
That one has pretty exposed weaponmotor, wich is not good. I learned that the hard way when Cube Of Pure Evil got its weapon motors cut off like paper.
-
And maybe the bots arent just not impressive enough
Unless that's just aimed at him, I'm not sure it applies to me. :| I created a virtually un-KOable stock LW (It can survive the default 3 minutes with SC4 Maelstrom, taking about 70k damage) and I think only one or two members (mostly likely just the one) had any comments on it.
-
actually i need help with protecting the motors (i dont know any good methods)
-

.. Placing it behind the snowplows, or ontop of the bot? It's not perfect but how it is right now just screams for a undercutter, gut ripper or popup.

-
Hi! I'm a hammer, and I'll be more than happy to knock that nice looking weapon motor off you!
-
Use Hypnos.
-
Nah, Vlads would be better; it would give it invertibility. Some work on the extenders would be nice, too.

thanks.
EDIT: these are the middleweights it can beat
saber teeth
blood runner
the boxer returns
top dog
-
It looks impressive. Looks like you used virtually all of the space in there.
The light DS teeth aren't so good to have on a LW (it's more tolerable on a BW) so you should upgrade those main spikes.
Razors are an option, but you should look into something with more HP then that. Perhaps replace the maces with something lighter so you can still keep in the weight class with those better spikes.
And maybe go down to Plastic 5 to help find more weight for spikes as well, if required.
-
Are you using NAR's pack?
-
no
-
dp!!!
i made a cool bot that OWNZ all the other hws in the game
here it is

-
Someone likes Nary's Scavenger. ;)
One thing that worries me however, is that when the teeth hit the floor enough, they will break. Try to imitate nary's version with the outer discs as wheels bigger than the shell so the teeth will last longer. :D

That was Sage's (i think) BOTM Entry a while back.
-
That was Sage's (i think) BOTM Entry a while back.
Rojo and I think it was the robot design contest back then.
-
No it was neither of their entries. it was MadBeaver or Rojo (they were the same people).
It was an ugly bot that should not have won.
-
It was built for a robot design contest back on the old forums. The basic parameters were that any of your weapons could not be on moving componentes. Rojo (the guy who built it. I thought MadBeaver was an IRL friend of his) circumvented this rule by mounting his weapons on static components, but having the body move instead.
I built a rammer that looked like a bug (back when I couldn't skin or build for crap) and finished as the runner-up to him. When I get back home, I'll post the splash of it.
-
How do u guys remember all these bots...?
Theyre YEARS old, But when you see something similar you guys know who made the first one & what its name was, I want superminds too D:

i went armor crazy on this one
it has castor armor on the bottom
it is powred by 8 ant batts
armor is steel ten

So.....what does it do...
Rolls over the opponent?
-
no but that would be cool
-
Isn't it front heavy? And back view please.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86821untitled.JPG)

Not bad, but im kinda worried about the hammerhead going trough the motor, does it got trough it? You should fix that if it does.
-
heres a new bot
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52615untitled.JPG)
-
Weapon motors waaay to exposed there, chap.
-
I guess you can use Dark Matter or Xenophobic Ressurection as an example.
-
But don't follow Dark Matter's setup. The weapon motors are relatively exposed. XD
-
how do you angle the extenders correctly
like angling the extenders forward on a t connecter
-
Like what? Example please.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66707untitled.JPG)
how do i know when if i angled them forward correctly
-
Trial and error. Maybe pressing F12 could help too.
-
Easy...
The extenders arent exactly a circle... It is an octagon
The atachment point is in one of those points (^)
When you know wish of the points it is, Rotate the extender slowly... Looking at the point, Till its were u want the weapon to attach...
This will explain it:
(http://i26.tinypic.com/29xjadu.jpg)
Multi-Extenders are a little harder, But also possible...
But i dont guide myself by the form of the MultiExtenders, But by the red lines...
They should add Attachement points on all sides of the extenders in DSL 3, Itll spare me alot of time
I have to do that with almost all my bots :\
Also, I tough everyone did that...? Im the only one rotating extenders here? D:
-
heres a lw rammer called recycleordie

armor is plastic 3
-
Way better, good job.
-
Excellent. This time, replace the non-baseplate multi-extender and the T connector with just a alum/tite extender coming straight off the baseplate multi-extender instead. Try to see what you can do with the weight.
-
i used the extra weight to add another razor tip
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23836untitled.JPG)
and i removed an ant battery
-
Even better. You can make it even better if you have a trapezoidal chassis. :D

hmm seems as if you are actually becoming a respectable builder.

HE IS.

Still a noob, but bots are not bad.

heres a somewhat original bot
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57715untitled.JPG)
-
But not a very good one I'm guessing? I think it would be too fast and your unprotected front would get smashed to pieces before the bot even got to where your weapons would fire. Plus when it did you would have to have really good timing to hit the bot ontop of you.
-
heres v2 of ten thousand fists
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64433untitled.JPG)

You can put an AX2550 in this.

Plastic 1 = ouch.

those are regular npc,s so plastic 3
-
Can you post the weight and stuff please? Thanks.
BTW, the 2x multiextender thing holding on the hammers is twice as heavy as it could be, you only need one. Just a tip.
-
So it's not the most powerful LW rammer. I'll come back to when I showcase mine. >:)

Oh, and change the battlepack for 3 ants.

after the wheel got knocked off it used its piston to move forward and the remaining wheel to turn. Pretty clever, eh?
-
with the extra weight you can strengthen the rod that the hammers are on.
-
I doubt he'd need the stronger extenders a bot would have to be extremely lucky to hit those.

I am not sure if there's a damage difference between rather the razor is spinning and rather it is stationary. Or at least I can't tell during previous field tests. If I have to guess the game simply doesn't put rotation into part of the damage equation.

here is the newest and by far most formidable version

I would place the stationary Razor below the spinning one, that way they should be able to hit at the same time.

If you're totally lazy, you can use metal hinge wedges. If you're short on weight, skirts can do. But if you have OCD, you can use snappers. But make sure the weight distribution is good.

but none of my metal or skirt hinge wedges get under anything

Again, check your weight distribution.

i have only once seen a robot like that in real life
-
ive been wanting tobuild a weged poker for the last few days and i finally did it
it came out way better then i expected, presenting ITS OVER 9000

under the piston are two ant batts
armor is titanium 3
-
IT DOES 1337 DAMAGEZ!!1!1!! AND IZ UNREALISSTICZ!@!@1!1!!1!!1
-
You can use 1 or 2 large CO2 tanks instead. And how is it unrealistic?
-
You would need to cut so much of those wedges open that they would be cut in half.
Other than that, it looks good.
-
And yet I don't see anyone complaining about the new Eye Stabber? :P
-
here is a battleshot

cant see it very well, but its good
-
It's the little green thing under DOAM.
-
no...you dont think?
-
Bah... DOAM's wedge is nothing compared to modern day metal hinge wedges.
Also NAR AI reskin + green status bars = color mix fail
-
oh you beat DOAM you're cool

now are you satisfied nary?

A unarmored slow spinup time HS. CONGRATZS!!1!111!1!!!
I see now Nary understands the great feeling you get of being a well respected bot builder who can go irate on flawed n00bs whenever he feels like it...

It has 5mm titanium... that's actually not too bad to beat Sapiens with a MW like this.
But that would only be an achievement if your MW would be AI-ed and beats Sapiens most of the time.

SO. DAMN. TRUE.

power surge my UB3R underpowered hs

Why dont you try using the smaller disk to make it more balanced and use better wheels?
-
Trust me, don't use those wheels. They cost me in RAW1 big time.
-
Vlad and/or Tornado wheels are far lighter and grippier.

two new bots
oh and if your going to post in my showcase please dont insult my bots
-
wow is gyro a sns or just a spinner?
edit:yay im a shw!
-
its a sevo boosted spinner
-
oh one of those things
does it work well?
fast spinnup?
-
it works well but it has a slowish spinup it also has steel 10 armor
-
that is really overkill,
well, its beating grog points wise, so it must be good.
-

While cheating ?
-
not necessarily,
its obeying the laws of physics correctly, it just has a big ass powerful motor to spin it.
-
Servo boosting IS cheating... no one would use a servo as spinner weapon motor in real life.
-
i guess you are right.
-
'nother hs

-
Angled wheel setup like that drastically reduces speed.
-
It looks like you're trying to protect the motors, bigger disk with less drive or make the motors properly angled, and risk it.
-
I kind of like it. But yeah, looks slower.
-
Hi all. Ive got a new SnS!

Flails like this.
-
Flails like this.
I have never heard that one before...
Anyway, I like the angle you put your flails at, but is it really as effective as say, horizontal or vertically placed ones?
-
Personally I liked the "Treads like this" better.
-
I have little experience in flail weapons (notably because they are teh ghey), but i am guessing horizontal ones are best and vertical ones doesn't improve damage at all.
-
I have experimented with vertical flails before, and though I belive horizontal ones seem to be all around better, vertical flails tend to destroy wedged bots easier.

I forgot how to make a white background....

Kill the batman
-
Whhaaaa?
-
wha????
-
It's a clue.
-
I have experimented with vertical flails before, and though I belive horizontal ones seem to be all around better, vertical flails tend to destroy wedged bots easier.
thats the current design I have been playing with, Gyratory Reborn was able to pick up some wedges with its flails mounted vertical
-
Kill the batman
Kill=Delete
the=worthless
Batman=Some sort of file....
NVM Found it.
-
See I told you..
-
Batman=Some sort of file....
A Batch file?
Anyway, If you mount the flails diagonally, could you take advantage of both?
-
Not really...
think of the diagonal flails dropped right down ?
if something went underneath them they would act like static weapons pointing down...
understand ?
which only leaves them to preform horizontal duty, and something again, there is less "give" in them from horizontal reducing effectiveness there
:-D
its really a case of either way, horozonal if low to the ground and vertical if raised up (like Gyratory Reborn)

Looks kinda like some kind of air vehicle. Horizontal gut ripper?
-
Top spinner.
-
with the weight so far back the wedge is gonna be sub-par...
-
getting ready for cc3 are we?
-
with the weight so far back the wedge is gonna be sub-par...
yeah I agree with that.. then again it is a hinge wedge.. but that set up may lead to robots being caught between the half sheets and wedge thus not feeding them to the weapon.
getting ready for cc3 are we?
yeah can someone please tell me when that is starting ? :P everyone's acting like its next week XD
-
A view from the rear would help us suggest improvements for your bot more.
Anyway, from what I can see here, replace the 2 half-sheets with a single tite sheet (more HPs for the same weight).
You probably put the weapon up there for easier self-righting, but wedginess still trumps self-righting capability (although having both is definitely a plus).
-
No wedge skill.
-
better entry
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58866untitled.JPG)
-
Those extenders look mighty exposed there dude.
-
Are those perm 80s or perm 132s?
-
80
-
Use a DSL bar instead of these extenders... they do damage, after all.
-
I'll enter CC3 and try to come up with a really good design, but if some faggot builds a crawler and enters it, i'll ask Joe to REMOVE my bot from the tournament, and ask every serious builder to do so.
-
Probably aiming for an anti-SnSnSnSnS design. But remember, that design sucks against gut-rippers with that width. Though I'm not encouraging you to enter CC3 with a crawler, add an extender coming off of each disk to prevent immobilization and put the perms closer together. But basing on the arena JB's planning to use, you'd surely be better off with a gut-ripper.
-
Nar: why take it out on me ? :frown: lol
anyway once you see the new arena crawlers wont be quite the big pain in the ass they normally are, the arena was designed to basically level the playing field, give other types a chance, you know the forgotten ones, rammers, flippers, hammers
people invest so much originally into clash cubes I wanted to basically give them more of a fighting chance :-D
-
I forgot about the arena style.
Forward flippers are going to pwn - might be worth it to enter a poker or rammer as well
-
forward flippers aye ? were is everyone getting facts from ? :P Pwnator is saying Gut Rippers are the best for it, Naryar saying Forward Flippers... how do you guys get these assumptions from the black image I showed?? :P
once Mad and myself finish a few more tweaks with it I will show it so you can build towards it
-
Fine. Anything fast and wedgy should be good for that arena. :P
