this is one of my bots from the team The light called Bishop
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/zumv2q9w/bot.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/sbcwvrn1/bot2.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
Good: does a lot of damage
Con: Flipper gets knocked off to easily
please tell me ways i can improve bishop and comment please
-
it's very underpowered, chassis is way to big, all the razor tips on the back are useless and there's no need for ballasts.
-
the batterys are blah batterys, very powerfull with electotal = 2100000 elecmaxinoutrate = 50000 and have never ran out on me, the ballasts are there because the flipper was flipping me too, the razor tips on the back for when the tribars get destroyed (has happened).
-
i see your using custom parts.. the robot is very overweight and a lot can be fixed to get it under 800kgs.
custom parts are only used for "Freaks" not serious bots, only use the parts that come with DSL if you build serious robots.
-
it did come with the dsl mod, it was in the components and all i had to do was unhide it
-
those batteries aren't in there, anti-ballasts (used to make SHW's) aren't either..
-
i know the anti ballast arnt but the blah battery is in components under blah, its a notepad file and u change the hidden = 2 to hidden = 0 to use it
-
They'd be hidden for a reason. Don't use them.
Edit: Also, you're using the super strong extenders from Firebeetle's component pack, which are also cheat parts.
-
your wrong..

no im not...

-
oh my goodness.. i've been around long enough to know what i'm talking about..
you are wrong...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50048blah1.jpg)
you have lots of custom parts!
-
what the... that part was from the dsl tc v2.1 mod.. no custom components have been added to that 1 ( i have 3 versions, the original, original dsl tc v2.1 and a custom component 1)
-
you most likely copied the custom component game and installed dsl tc v2.1 over it. installing a mod over another version does not get rid of the components from the game you installed it over the top of.
i suggest you get a pure stock version and install dsl over the top of it.

it was a pure stock version, the 1 i instaled dsl on was completly stock
edit: btw u make good lw, i have trouble making lw any tips?
-
if it was pure stock it would be in my dsl folder, but isn't.
best thing you can do is look around showcases and search for glitches that have been found. the glitch i use most is the snapper loading glitch.
-
Its very obvious that you have downloaded Hammer Of Justice. The Blah battery is a cheat battery used to power this bot, and is also the reason why its hidden, so do not use it.
-
Your chassis space management is good, and also snapper wedges = win.
But:
You're not going to get ANY respect if you showcase a bot with cheat parts on it.
Also ballasts are the worst component ever.
Use something that would actually help your bot (batteries, more armor, heavier weapons, a wedge...) rather than dead weight.
Just saying...

u got a point so ill remake bishop without cheat parts and try to make it under 800kg (try)
-
here's what it looks like so far
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/02zmdfct/due.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
any comments and how can i make it better ( i can decrease the weight using weaker armour)
-
The blue-grey extender thing is a cheat part also.
The 30kg ramplate on the rear is useless.
And finally i suggest using heavier weapons because the razors are brittle for a HW, and i suppose you know what happens when one of the spinners lose a razor...

it goes nuts
Edit: btw the razors have rarely fallen off for me and how do u put spikes thorugh the ramplate? ive seen it on other bots but i have no idea how to do it
-
learn how to stack.. you really need to know.

how???

I can see a Fortified Extender going to the wedge, that is a custom/cheat component too.

i realized that when i had another look at it, so i replaced it for now
heres's another bot i made
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/437o2dul/botter.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/d3b5oa78/botter2.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
a V/S bot
drive: 2 slap happy wheels on 2 NPC-T64 fast
weapon: 8 beaterbars and 2 razor tips on 2 dsl discs powered by double axle e-tek motor
armour: 5mm titanium
Pro: does good damage and good speed
Con: vs against flippers and driving upside down ( it can drive upside down just not very good
comments and ways i can improve round smash
-
I'm really average when building drums, but stil some general advice:
- Putting you wheels inside your chassis will make them nearly impossible to knock off and is much better than using these really heavy spiked wheel guards.
- 5mm titanium is one of the best armors you have and a good choice for a HW.
-There are better wheel choices out there. I suggest tornado's. More grip,; and a faster bot.
- Battery setup is overkill. You'd be enough with 8 ant batteries. Lighter, well powered, less space used, and finally your batteries will last longer.
-Build to the weight limit. ALWAYS. Definitely invest much more weight into your weapon.
-Wedges could be a good idea.
-Also browse the other showcases. Get ideas and techniques there, and it's fine (i'll even recommend it) to copy other good bots when you're in the learning phase: then when you'll be a good DSL bot builder (see me, Inf, R0B0, MikeNCR, Urjak & Reier) you can go with your own style.

thanks for the advice but im having a problem putting the wheels inside the chassis with the NPC-T64's but ill keep trying
Edit: here's another version of round smash using naryar's advice
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/8gclata/smasher.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
problems are that its not invertible and now its a little slow....
-
Get rid of the inner razor tips and use that weight elsewhere. They are worthless in there.
-
Doomkiller i can make that bot better if you send the .bot file to me.
-
Try to use the Drive E-tech for a drvie motor, and the regular E-tech for a weapon motor. Right now you have the weapon E-tech for your drive motor.
-
- Putting you wheels inside your chassis will make them nearly impossible to knock off and is much better than using these really heavy spiked wheel guards. (What? that just wastes chassis space and exposes your chassis. I would rather lose a wheel than lose a bunch of health. just make better wheelguards doomkiller.)
wut
-
"I would rather lose a wheel than lose a bunch of health"
With that sort of nonsense Hazcon would have NEVER won BBEANS4.
These are not your beloved horizontal spinners Sage !
-
I do believe hazcon's wheels were outside the chassis. Am i wrong?
-
Because i was short on weight and i had no real need to protect the wheels... tell me of ONE juggler with wheel guards.
Different thing on Skimrmish, where i had to protect the wheels for the KotH version.
-
Uhh wut?
If hazcon had lost a wheel he would never had won bbeans 4 right? then you go and say there was no need for wheel guards. which of course there wasn't, because you won. so why did you tell doomkiller to put the wheels inside the chassis? why does he need wheel guards or wheels inside the chassis when the bbeans 4 champion didn't?
-
Because he obviously wanted to protect these wheels, and actually i bet that even with 5mm titanium making a bigger chassis which englobes wheels would be lighter and more efficient that a NOS-BOT type wheel guard.
@Doomkiller: Test the bot with wheel guards and without wheel guards, and if it keeps losing wheels without wheel guards then you can use wheel guards.
You can also use a multi extender and a 40cm steel sheet.
-
Doomkiller i can make that bot better if you send the .bot file to me.
i would if i knew how....
btw with the wheel gaurds the bot moved faster
@somebody the razors arnt worthless. they do damage but dont get hit due to the beater bars
-
how do you know the razors do damage? you know the beater bars do damage right?
-
how do you know the razors do damage? you know the beater bars do damage right?
because when i took of the razors it did less damage thats how
-
For the bot file, you export your bot, you pick off the bot file in Robot Designs, you compress it into a .RAR, upload it in the Gametechmods file uploader and send the link to me.
because when i took of the razors it did less damage thats how
That is theorically impossible. In NO WAY a weapon like razors can do damage and be shielded from damage by another component at the same time.
-
made a new bot
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/16w00kr/you.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/9bm6sov5/you2.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
a bot i made when i was bored...
does decent damage but has stability issues and gets flipped too easily
-
Interesting but kinda poor design.
Could of been invertible easily with a 6-mag gearbox (or the Tornado one) though you'd have to give up the second axle. But with a decent weapon you won't need it.
Looks overpowered. The extenders are vulnerable, too..
-
*Unrealistic alert*
Just wait till inf sees this...
Also 20kg black batts suck (just compare their stats in the txt's to the others)
You'd also be MUCH better with your 6 claws on the black 100cm DSL disc rather than all that messy and heavier setup, and a stronger motor (Perm 132 would be the minimum, or even a six mag gearbox).

realism? REALISM? is a dam game. if u want realism then build a bot in real life but this is a game!!
-
realism? REALISM? is a dam game. if u want realism then build a bot in real life but this is a game!!
BBEANS DSL tournaments have realistic rules.. there's really no need not to build realistic bots in DSL because all the parts are more balance and you can add armor to the chassis :)
-
realism? REALISM? is a dam game. if u want realism then build a bot in real life but this is a game!!
DSL was actually made to be realistic. Or the closer to realism the game's engine can achieve.
And yes most DSL tournaments do have a realistic rule.
So either you build totally unrealistic, you get flamed and you'll suck at the next DSL tourney, or either you get realistic and a better bot builder.
-
I have built a robot in real life, and boy is it fun! However, they are right. No one will respect or maybe even comment on DSL bots that do not follow the realsitic rule.
-
You can bet people will comment on unrealistic bots Urjak.
But it's all about what the comments are...
-

Don't want realism? Play stock then.
-
I have built a robot in real life, and boy is it fun!
yeah, it is. my bot i made (although can't really call it a bot) was a r/c hummer with cardboard armour and three steak knives for weapons. it was a cardboard box killer.
-
Been awhile but here a 2 LW bots i made
First: shadow Strike
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/n0136h6w/shadowstike1.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/lwe7gg3b/shadowstike2.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
Drive: 2 Vlad wheels on slim body
Weapon:4 small DS teeth and a razor tip on a small dsl disc on a piglet brushless motor
3mm plastic
Second: Shadow Strike V2
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/r4bff245/shadowstikeV21.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/j7mhmk0q/shadowstikeV22.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
Drive: 2 vlad wheels on TWM3R
Weapon: 4 ds teeth on small dsl disc on piglet brushless motor
3mm plastic
these are the only real good LW bots that i have built so far
-
I like the 2nd version better since it has better weapon reach. Are the static wedges wedgy enough? :D
-

they are but they get knocked off easlily
-
Not bad.
Will be better with less wedges but stronger ones (i'd get something like one 80cm aluminium sheet on a metal hinge and two 80cm aluminium sheets on a skirt hinge, similar to Urjak's last LW TS and my Torment), also these angled connectors waste weight and 3 batts will be enough for this.
-
Yeah, make the chassis connection on the side, and tilt an aluminium exender to make the wedge.
-
Not bad.
1st version's wedges are much better than 2nd's. Just dump the sheets on the middle of the hinges and get something tougher than plastic for the others.
And if they are knocked too easily just use a stronger material...
@S32: Nope. On a double wedge like that, static wedges will be not only heavier but less efficient than hinged ones.
See Hazcon.

I will try that but the reason why i used the multi extender was because the skirt hinge wouldnt go on....

Spring loaded hinge either side of the disk...?
-
@Doomkiller: Then I bet you can do that with snapper loading. You put the hinge, then glitch it out of position and put the Magmotor then.
@Weirdo: Too heavy for a LW.
-
I did it.
-
@Weirdo: Too heavy for a LW.
I got that to work, see mah showcase.
But in all honesty, one spring hing works.
-
What i mean is that 2 metal hinges is good for MW's and HW's but that's really heavy for a LW.
That's why 1 metal hinge is enough indeed.
-
lotta good ideas but i have no idea how 2 do the snapper loading glitch...
anyway i have fixed the problem using my own idea lol

Yep. The HW version of Smack n Snap
Drive: 4 tornado wheels on NPC Fast
Weapon: 4 60kg sledge hammers, 4 dsl bars
4 battle packs
Armour: 3mm titanium
Does alot of damage but has lsow spin up time
3,2,1 TIMBER!

(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/rrkliyv8/screenshot_9.JPG) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
VS
Drive: 2 tornado wheels on NPC fast
Weapon: 2 saw blade on TWM3R
3 ants, 1 battle pack
Amour: 1mm titanium
pretty good. dispatches of most MW pretty quickly
1, TIMBER!

Drive: 2 tornado wheels on npc fast ( yes i really like this drive setup)
Weapon: 4 sawblades on TWM3Rs, 4 iron tips
5 ant batts
armour: 10mm titanium
Pretty much the smae as the MW, dispatches most of the LW pretty quickly but has trouble vs shell spinners, VSers and Wiide load

You really must lighten up your extender work.

Unless TWM3R's are more effective then a NPC (or do a better job of keeping the bot on the floor) I don't see why that is so.
Unless you're talking about him using a standard TWM3R for mobility.

Well... there's several kinds of TWM3Rs. There's the 6 mag gearbox, Tornado Mer gearbox, the TWM3R2, and there's the ones we're on about. The TWM3R, and the TWM3R Drive.
The TWM3R Drive is a better drive motor. Same weight and everything, so you're not exactly giving up anything.
-

I got dozens of bots that prove otherwise.

Ribbs he is talking about the TWM3R Drive being the better of the Magmotors for drive, and he's RIGHT.
-
They are talking about the SnS with with TWM3R motors for drive.

Ok.

Well, I prefer NCP Fast as Drive.

(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/d7g6re1b/screenshot_1.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
yeah, much more damaging lol
-
You can change the wheels to get grippier ones, and place a skirt hinge at the base and add some sheets for belly armor. :D
-
Better. And also switch the hammer 90 degress so it's realistic.

You can remove 2 ant batts on this and 42 kg of wedges on a LW = overkill.
Otherwise nice.

well you dont have to have overkill or underkill just the right amount to free up some more weight for armor or weapons

1mm tite
any ideas on how i could make it better?
sorry about the thumbnails, imagebanana isnt working so i had to use something else lol
-
Not sure whether the side razors help that much, but hmmm... try to make it invertible.
-
Make these side parts static... if not they will wobble because on a metal hinge and drums doesn't likes wobbling.
And closer to the chassis also, your extenders will be less vulnerable.
EDIT: and 1mm Ti is like nothing on a HW. It's fine on SnS or bots that have a lot of defense but yours haven't.

only has trouble with hammerhead shark and 360 arc pounder
1mm tite
any comments?
-
Generic SnS, but not bad.
Get aluminium extenders... put the NPC's flat on the round and use Vlad wheels. They are better than Tornado's (excepted for size) for 2kg less.
And Berserker sucks notably because of 1mm Al armor (but you can give it 1mm Ti), also Ninja Assassin and Grim Chopper aren't much of a threat.

as for the battle pics thats all i could be bothered to take lol
Edit: what do u mean by generic?

Yes, like this.
And by generic, i mean that that SnS is absolutely not original... but you're still learning so that's not too bad.

thanks even though thats only because i couldnt be bothered to give it a cool name....

Not badly built.
That bot is slow for a RPB-ish FS, and i'm pretty sure you'd be better with less stronger/more powerful discs (say 2 or 4) rather than a gazillion of tiny discs.
-
I think I'd ditch the side piglets on the chassis and upgrade the drive with the extra weight. :D
-
back from me camp
few various versions of Entrapment
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/cxa2bxln/entrap.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
personally i like v3 the better of the 2 :)
both have 3 mm tite
havent had time to test them yet
and sage: like ur pic in ur sig but it lags my computer REAL bad lol
-
Like V3 just because of the RPB ability.
-
V2: Shebeat clone, nice.
V3: Kinda weird. I like it though...
-
V2 is better.
And not a Shebeast clone.
-
Switch the steel extenders on V2 to aluminum and upgrade to iron spikes
-
I would angle the spinners on V3 in one more notch. At the moment they seem like they wouldn't hit very well.
-
well i just tested the v2 and v3 but unfortuatly the origanal one is better....
been awhile (because i havnt been allowed near a comp.) but ill post some new bots

1 mm tite
and 1 half of my multi bot for clash cubes 2
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/kjxm46wj/trapper.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
just wanna know what u guys think
eidt: and who changed the name of this thread?
-
MB is too heavy.
-
no its not. the other half will be less than 600kgs
-
It would have to be less than 200 KGs if I'm not mistaken.
-
no. clash cubes 2 is a shw bot (1200kg) tournament
-
He is talking about entering it into a SHW tournament, total weight 1200 kg.
-
Heh! Not bad at all.
Your popup is pretty good for a first one, but unrealistic and 38kg of weapons on a BSG is too much IMO. It also could have a smaller chassis and looks underpowered to me, and i think that single Ti halfsheet isn't a lot.
IdF isn't bad, but that hex plate isn't really useful when you can attach you razors directly to the skirt hinge (good catch using skirt hinges BTW). What's the use of the extenders between the motors at the rear ?
Trapper is also good but i'd definitely get Mags on your side FS'ers rather than Piglets.

I think those rear extenders are stabilizers.

dont know about npc being weapon motors but yeah
-
Very nice. But I think it's a no-no to use drive motors as weapon motors. I built a MW FS before using NPC fasts, and whenever my spinners make contact with the opponent, both bots get blasted skyward.
Try using Magmotors instead. :D
-
really? allright ill swap them for mag motors if it does that to me
-
Well they should work fine. Try them out, and if they don't work, switch them. If they do work, try to upgrade everything until you are at the weight limit.

it is at the weight limit
SHW multi bot=600kgs per bot 50:50 ratio
-
Well in that case, if you are going to enter 2 of the same bot, you need to take 1.2 kgs off that.

new bot
mw flipper Going, Going, Gone!
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/hu361ftf/ggg.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm tite
gets under every thing including second setnitial and critical emergency but actually doesn't flip anything :(
-
Not bad.
All these DSL bars and attachments are pointless however.
And get a large JX.
EDIT: and you can just keep with say 3 battlepacks and 2 ants rather than overloading the thing with ant batts...
-
quite a nice looking bot.... but what has me more interested is the background or your bot lab ?? its not one of my themes lol where did it come from ?
Edit: never mind just figured out its an edited image *slaps face*

JoeBlo is hiting himself? OOOo let me join lol
possible MB for clash cube 2 unless i built something better

The angle is too steep, has happened to me before.

It actually wasnt the angle, it was the skirt collision mesh. it went screwy
fixed it before i sent it to joeblo
update on GGG
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/srj31v0h/ggg3.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
3 mm tite
havent skinned it yet
-
4 battlepacks will save weight.
-
Ur right Naryar. I calculated the needed amps wrong before. But then again flippers arnt my thing, nether shell spinners......
update on Under strike
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/6oab7kd3/v2.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm tite.
who likes my new avatar? My cousin made that for me :)
-
Sweet avatar, but the bot isn't quite as sweet.
You have to protect the bursts, because once a quick rammer goes up your wedge, it will hit your motors first before they fire back. It's better if you keep them inside.
-
possibaly, ill go test it now and if that happens i will change it
-
Your bursts are too high for popup weapons anyways.
-
Doesnt matter. got absolutly smashed by raving mad. Back to the drawing board

new bot Shadow ninja
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/kewkuvn3/shadow.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
juggler. just trying something new, though i have a feeling the motors may be 2 exposed
untested, 1 mm tite
-
The motors should be closer together, and the DS Tooth is getting in the way of the beater bars. Attach the bars in an upright position instead.
Any lucky bot can also hit those very exposed plastic extenders. Attach the motors directly instead. You can also turn it into a FS if you feel like it.
-
Poorly cloned Hazcon.
And Pwnator is, once again, right.
-
tested it. motor got knocked off... i had a feeling they might and are ur thinking i cloned HC or something else?
-
When you're inexperianced at building, its ok to clone other bots. It allows you to get a feel to what its like to build decent bots and learn some of the techniques used. When you become a better builder though, thats when cloning is frowned apon.
-
upgrade on understrike
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/xlff9i6i/v3.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
bit better than v2, stronger burst motor though bit slower and 1 mm plastic. And yes, i know its a bit unrealistic
-
Very nice. Actually, it's realistic, a slot can be made on the razors' arc.
If the skirt wedge is very good enough, stick with it. Otherwise, remove the rear stabilizer and use a metal hinger instead for v3a, see if it makes a difference. :D
-
its good seeming it gets under scout most of the time (most)
-
Oh, goody. :D
Now fix Shadow Ninja. :P
-
Yeah, might be a good idea lol. allthough its meant to be shadow strikes bigger brother i might just make it a top spin so it isnt that much of a clone
-
prototype
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/hn9cxnvv/shadow2.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
-
Interesting... I like the design very much, though I'm unsure on how effective the inner weapons are. The rear sheet adds an original touch on the bot, though it's better if it was wider since the weapons only spin in one direction, meaning the bot will be deflected to a side instead of being held by the sheet.
-
Thanks but its just a prototype to see what u guys thought about it, i have bigger plans for it ( involving side titanuim half sheets)
-
Jugglers are generally more effective if they have two spinning discs instead of just the one. After that, they can be counter-rotating and effectively hold the opponent in place and minimising the need to widen the chassis as Pwnator suggested.
How good are it's wedges?
-
well its actually meant to be a top spinner as its shadow strike mw brother.
The wedges are fine, i have yet to find a bot i cant get under ( allthough i havnt tested it with many bots)
-
I'm not really onto widening the chassis, just the rear sheet. For example, if the motor spins clockwise, it would shoot bots to the bot's right. So the holder must be slightly tilted to the left. If it couldn't, just widen the sheet. Also, you can use a taller and shorter chassis to save some weight to put the side tite sheets you wanted. :D
-

I apologise, i was under the assumption it was a juggler after i saw the previous version of it.
Try it against Slashback and see if it can get under it.
-
Yeah, it was a juggler, but seeming it looked like a clone of hazcon i changed it.
And it got under slashback, very easily.
-
Ohohohoh... get R1's pack and see if you can get under his juggler. XD
-
Ohohohoh... get R1's pack and see if you can get under his juggler. XD
which 1?

what are u on about?

I was saying if your prototype can get under Flashback. XD

Ohohohoh... get R1's pack and see if you can get under his juggler. XD
And i was asking what pack do i get for that juggler u were talking about XD

After that, try to get under Zapper 9... ;]

I dont even have the pack.:frown:

sorry for the dp but
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/4mykn5hd/ninjav2.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm tite. and gets under flashback
-
Whoahohohohooa... <3
One of the best-looking original (I think) designs ever. :D
-
Thnks. also those skirt hingers at the back were a pain to put on so i am very pruod of this bot :)
edit:also, does anyone have any ideas for the HW version?
-
Try a juggler or something, but with the skirt sheet traps (those look cool).
-
Not bad, but slightly overpowered.
-
Pwnator: A juggler? hmm maybe but ill keep the skirt traps.
Naryar: yeah, i though the TWM3R2 drew 55 amps, lol
-
What is it with me and these dp?
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/gzsbs671/clobe.png) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
3 mm tite. still working on it. still need to put the skirt sheet traps so im gona shrink the chassis. just wanna know what u guys though of it so far.
-
It's better if you have a more powerful weapon motor instead of 4WD so you can throw bots further. Also, the half sheets prevent the weapons from gut-ripping the opponent. :P
-

thats what u think :P
-
Oh yeah, it's 4WD. XD
Oh well, this type of setup is better for giant FS, I believe. :P
-
yeah but u gave me an idea to save weight by making it 2wd
sooo:
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/dhxenfl/clonev2.png) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
:P
And gaint fs? u just gave me an idea for my next bot
-
It's better if you have a more powerful weapon motor instead of 4WD so you can throw bots further.
Wrong.
All good gut rippers need fast drive. Jugglers, popups, FS... ALL of them.
-
Oops. Sorry. Forgot to put the E-tek drive in 2WD. Anyways, it's just an opinion. You're better off following the ones who have more experience. I'm not really feeling well today. I just visit here to relax. :P
-
No problem.
I think best drives for HW gut rippers are 2WD NPC-F with Techno's (HnM) or 4WD NPC-F with Hypno's (Infcon).
The 2WD one is possibly better because you have more weight on the wedges, unless you align perfectly all the Hypno's (good luck doing that)
No need for Etek and Techno drive unless you're building a rammer or SnS.
-
Good bot, but those half sheets are way too weak to use as a wedge. Once they fall off (and it won't take long) you'll have a hard time getting bots on top of the weapon, and the front of the chassis will be wide open. Instead, you should just use more skirts, like on the bottom wedge.
-

thanks and yeah, after testing the half sheets did fall of often so im gona change them to be stronger. O well it was just an idea to be original
-
dp but i need help.
After a while working on the new shadow clone this happened
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/ns2qktqj/help.png) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
every time i put the wedges on the collision mesh goes nuts and the wedge is innefective. Is there a way to stop this?
-
Try rebuilding the bot.
-
Try rebuilding the bot.
ill give that a try
-
It's a glitch where the .gmf flies off the component. Actually in some testing I did, if the door hinge skirts do that, it actually doesn't matter. The wedge just stays the same =|
-
rotos idea
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/sbame8t3/unknow.png) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
3 mm tite. and i know its under weight. Just a prototype
-
razors are too far back.
not enough armor as well.
-
razors are too far back.
not enough armor as well.
care to elaborate?
-
Since the razors are too far back at the start, it screws up your bot's weight distro, hampering its wedginess. A better wedged bot can gut-rip it easily. And since the bot should use DSA, you need bottom armor for protection.
[Edit] Oh yeah, ROTOS uses DSA, no other armor. :P

and here is unknown v2
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/c845d4z0/unknow.png) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
still underweight, bit of unused chassis space and gets destroyed by some of the ai bots only because of DSA
but it was fun doing this:

very powerful, Almost destroyed WIIDE LOAD with this 1
Lw hammer
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/5dt4f67/yeahha.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
Untested.
Both have 1 mm tite
-
I like the look of the hammer but it might be a little wide... might have to wait and see the arena, the whipper looks nice, the flail is a nice little touch
-

Also during testing of Hidden Strike:
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/1efn339v/hahaha.jpg) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
LOL
-
yay squished lightweight... the hammer I would think could be effective as its a bit out of reach for lightweights to break, getting a smartzone in the right place and it could be effective under AI
-
@joeblo: thats what I hope for lol
Anyway im bored so I tried something different
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/dqi884nr/rock.png) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/) 3 mm tite
Probably all ready done but I just wanted to try it out. Decent Pushing abilities, fast and decent wedge.
-
Nobody likes my Pusher/poker hyprid?
Allwell anyway Heres my first attempt at a MW True pop up
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/62jg901h/LOLOLOLOLo.PNG) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
Quite powerful and out wedges slash back
3 mm tite
-
Pretty nice.
You need one more ant battery.
You can save a few kgs as well by using just one aluminium extender on each Snapper just like the real Slashback.
For your lower wedge, a 80cm Ti skirt on a metal hinge might be better, and will be lighter.
-

dammit I thouht I calculated the power just right lol
As for the 80 cm Ti on metal hinge it actually isnt better as that what it perviously had but then it could not get under second senetial but this 1 does :)
And I didnt know that slash back had his snapper like that, will be worth the try
-
OK then.
And for Sir Slapper, it's a nice build excepted the weapon setup.
I'm pretty sure it would be better if you actually had your weapons piled up on top of each other (like Stock horizontal spinners, they'll strike at the same time), or just use a 60kg hammer. (You'd get 9kg more weapon weight)
-
I was actually think to put all the iron pikes so that hey were facing the same way meaning more damage, all id have to do is make sure i only spin in 1 direction
-
And here it is:
(http://img3.imagebanana.com/img/dz8g2tm/SLSPAPER.PNG) (http://img3.imagebanana.com/)
More damaging and now beats both HHS and 360 arc
Edit: YAY im a MW lol
-
Not bad... Not bad at all...
In fact I quite like it :P
Does it actually 'slap' the opponent?
-
Not bad... Not bad at all...

Techniqually, no. What it does is "catch" the bot with the irons, doing damage at the same time, and with great force, flings the other bot away
It's quite fun to watch:grin:
-
Ah, nice. Always good to see helpless AI flung across arenas.
-
Unlike in Stock, i've had bad experiences with weapons perpendicular to others.
You should really put ALL weapons parallel on top of each other - just like Inf's Spin Cycle (SCv4 Aerial HK). Maybe heavier weapons on a 30cm shell spinner panel.
Like that, most (if not all) of them will hit the opponent at the same time, and do more damage, exactly like a popup weapon setup.

Ill give that a go ( I don't have SCv4, could u pm me a link?) but it is very damaging as it is and I quite like it
-
Did I ever mntion how much I hate havok explosions?
After I AI'ed My new pop up, I pitched it against Second senitial, a random havok explosions sent both bots skyward,With my bot dealing massive damage to Second senitial, seeming as I was under him. But then Second senitial landed back in the combat zone but my bot was no where to be seen.....:

After a while of not building in dsl, I have done it:
LW Double vs: Go LOONG
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/0f595at/golong.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
3 mm tite and completly stable :-D untested in battle
-
I think mags are kinda overkill on this setup. I would use piglets for that so you can add more weapons. And I think you don't need a skirt hinge for the motor protection. Try adding an extender to your main skirt using its side AP and pointing up and attach your wedge to the one opposite that AP and attach your stuff at the remaining APs. You could probably save enough weight for Vlads.
-
Pwn: I spent a good 30 min trying to figure out what u meant. I shall give it a go and as for the mags, I allways wanted a double weapon mag lw :)
Can u blame me?
-
Can u blame me?
nope .. Spin to Win :P
on a lightweight focus on a single weapon would be better then trying to make 2

Hammers usually have an advantage against shell spinners. But to Grog... :O
Did you win it?
-
pwn: unfortunatly, no for the iron tips always become to damaged and fall off....
Remeber shadow clone?
He just became stronger and now bears a new name:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/743uxg6h/stormshadow.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
3 mm tite, disc powerd by a 4 mag
-
Hmmm... couldn't say much here. Maybe you could widen the lower wedges a bit.
-
I agree just a small little change just switch the otter steel skirts to the next attachment point along, maybe also drop them back to aluminum and change the top ones to something stronger.
-
the lower wedges are on metel hinges and are using titanuim half sheets...
-
when I said top ones I was talking about the ones used to "juggle" the opponents
-
I think I might be going nuts......
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/c4s9vzz/motorbike.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Edit: completly controlable and has a modified perm that gives out more torque XD
-
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I have sooooo many bot blueprints in my head right now. You've added another one. XD
Flamethrower exhausts and maybe use a thicker tire at the rear so you don't need the balance wheels (replace them with BSGs for pedals and spiked clubs for handlebars). XD

Thnaks :P Anyway the update ima doning to it now actually has the cobra wheel unfortunatel as it worked the best and pwn: as for the stabilizers i gotta keep then or else the motorbike tips when I turn ( yes it does turn)
Can't believe u doubted me joeblo

how about something a little more subtle like training wheels type design for stabilizers
-
tada:

Alltough the flamethrowers don't work ( as in make a flame) in the test area for some reason :vista:
-
Too bad the setup doesn't look good if you make it a speed bike. Make the front bars longer to it looks more chopper-ish.
-
you need air for flamers and then wire them to forward and leftright commends (analogs are better then buttons) but that looks sweet
reminds me of this Australian ;-)

No air tanks, no flame.
-
^^ as I already stated in my previous post, basically in the bot lab everything is powered to max so what happens in there may not occur in the arenas
-
DANG, I built something almost like that a few months ago!
-
Reier: Dammit thought i was original. The problem with the flame is that u cant stay still while the flame is on for u don't see it, u gota move for the flame to pop up lol for it does have a couple of airtanks
-
o yeah lol forgot about that .. I had the same problem when taking a picture of nitro cube.. what I did was put a spin motor (just a piglet or something) inside the chassis and wire it to spin when the flamers are on (so the same button) and it will work standing still :-D
-
doomkiller is not gunna be posting stuff till friday cause of some stuff he has to do so yea lol.how i know is cause i go to school with him and he said to put this thread up for him.

Lol havnt posted here for a bit. Anyway tried some new designs. At least I hope their new....
Ultimate Atom Spin:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/ge0a7eea/atomspiun.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
DSL version of ultimate atom spin in stock (unshowcased). Gets under everting in the game. Everything. 3 m tite
Infectious Virus:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/vd36m95/virus.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Was trying to clone tick into dsl, But because I can't have intersecting tribars, It came out like that. 3mm tite (normal npcs)
Imp:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/r3488hk5/Imp.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Another FS but with npc fast and 1 mm tite. Same wedge though.
BW-Be Drilled:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/vex722d/drill.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
All basically seen it. 1mm tite and first ever bw in dsl
Pimp Slap:

Here I was trying a new design for me, A LW wedged rammer. didn't turn out too bad. 1mm tite and npc fast
-
UAS - son of SCv3 Maelstrom and Shebeast. XD
IV - if you can minimize chassis space, you can have two metal hinge wedges.
Imp - I like this one better.
Be Drilled - possibly one of the coolest BWs I've ever seen. Good job. :D
PS - Hmmm... I doubt the Typhoons could do anything there.
Ye sliced - It would be better if the shell were lowered.

I know pimp slap was a clone but I was more focusing on the mw then the HW.
Just went and built a bot that I know would be effective :)

Yes, i know it is a clone, But I built it to see if i could build a succesful Sheck spinner.
And I have done it YAAAAAYYYAAAAAAAY
-
I do indeed like its design. Especially the weapon placement. Looks like it preforms effectivly as well.

(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/2jm5a1i/onewheelkill.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
XD
First AW 1 mm tite
-
good weight management there :D
-
Man, been a while since I posted in here:
Anyway:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/8b8n1h0/1.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Anyway, here is Fliperoni
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/scn6m1lb/Fliperoni.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Quite powerful and wedgy flipper, with 3 mm Titanium
And wordalf:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/0boygixo/wordalf.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
cant remeber the armour, because i built this a while back. Made to outlast the oppenent
No Name rammer:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/urkerg1m/nonamerammer.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm titanium. Also made to outlast the oppenent. I was looking through the wiki, when I saw dark knight from RR, and thats when I decidied to build the bot. Needs a good name though
-
Thats odd, no comments on the bots i just posted....
-
No Name Rammer can have a smaller chassis (see my BFT or BFT2) and use two multi-extenders instead of a single one with a T connector as it save weight and it's more protective that way. :D
-

YAY!! some commentz :P
Thanks, shall give it a go, wonda how much weight i would save..
-
For wordalf, maybe use something longer than mace (perhaps iron spikes) to give your front a bit more width. It should make it slightly harder to hit those wheels.

Yes.

Yes.
Also, 3 ant batteries will be enough on your rammer.
-
Thanks for the advice guys. Jeeze, it feels good to be building again..
anyway, kinda stuck here, for I don't have much experince with shell spinners.
With the talk of CC3 being MWs, I thought I'd build myself some MW cubes, and here is the first 1:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/u1j6uogr/Cubetest1.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm titanium, 2 battle packs and a titanium half sheet. 6 irons on flails.
But here is another version:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/k0m1a9xv/Cubetest2.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Same armour, same batts but with more weapons with 3 static razors as well as the flailing irons, however, slower drive....
Which is better? and anyway i can make improvements? Thanks
-
the mag drive would be better.. and possibly trying to cram a smaller disc in for the shell (might not be possible) but would save you a heap of weight if you pulled it off
-
I tried, but it just didnt want to work with the smaller disc, Unless u want it to be unrealistic....
Ill keep trying though :)
-
not
enough
weaponssssssss
-
well, while I was teting out my new Cube vs, I thought:
" why not pit it agaisnt Shebeast, just for fun!"
So I did, went agaisnt it head on, thinking i would get shredded.
But this happened:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/f1mqbuu1/what.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
I went straight under shebeast aand destroyed him........
-
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Now I have to seriously upgrade my bot.
-
Shebeast is a he?!
-
I was wondering about that this morning also....
-
O yeah might wanna....
Hold on, since when bots have genders???
-
O yeah might wanna....
Hold on, since when bots have genders???
When it's a crawler (kidding). :P
-
crawlers like other robots of the same gender though, they dont have an actual gender of there own :S :P
anyway I like the look of that VS...
fun fact time!!!: despite SnS robots being the most dominant in Clash Cubes there has only been one final match in Clash Cubes history (out of 4) that didnt contain a VS
CC1 final - Grey Matter
CC2 losers bracket final - XR
CC2 grand final - XR

YAY the odds are with me :)
-
how is its stability ?
-
quite good actaully, even when it losses razor tips, it won't tip when it turns too fast either.
Best vs I have built I reckon
-
So do we get any other shots of it or just the teaser image :P
-
So do we get any other shots of it or just the teaser image :P
Needs a rebuild first, kinda unrealistic at the moment ( razors go though the batts )
-
And u asked for it:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/7aib9kcz/CubeVS.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
8 razors, 3 mm plastic and a good wedge. Very stable, even if it losses some of its razors.
Enjoy
-
Nice bot.
I had bad experiences with metal hinge wedges on VS, but it seems that the PA skirts do solver the forward-tipping problem and 4 ants are enough for that as well.
-
For some reason the front view shot reminded me of Immortal Corruptor. Maybe it's the dual angled plate protectors. XD
-

The static PA skirts are aslo wedgy for some reason....
4 ants? thanks shall do it :smiley:
-
Experimenting with more cube designs ( seems like im not the only one doing it ) I came up with this bot that looked soo cool, I had to post it :)
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/3oi0cbe0/RazorStorm.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Razor Storm, Poker, ncps fast and 3 mm plastic. The upper razor tips hold the bots in place while the lower razor tips gut rip the bot to death.
Only problem is, not invertible.....
Has been able to destroy both red alert and No Name rammer without losing a single razor tip.
And yes Naryar, Razor Storm is modled after blade wave :P
-
And yes Naryar, Razor Storm is modled after blade wave :P
I was waiting for that :P
still does look cooler then the average poker
-
I bet you could make that bot invertible if you really tried. Looks like it's mainly those angled disc panels in front of the wheels that are keeping it from being invertible.
Nice bot though, looks powerful.
-

I was actually thinking the same thing. Shall see if thats the prob now
Thanks:-D
-
I'm DOOMED, nice bot btw, I guess with the weight you can stregthen the extenders.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/34204Uproar.png)
That's invertible^^ But yours are on their sides, so IDK. You have 8 kg left, switch to 'nado wheels and I think it'll work.
The VS: Other than extreme lack of weapons I really like it.
-
Ak KABA
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/c7j4eawd/AkKaba.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm Titanium. Made to withstand attacks that don't target the bottom or top.
Has defeated many NAR ai mw and I was thinking of submitting it for the next NAR AI but IDK if it is good enough.
I wonder who can geuss what series of books that the name of this bot came from:P
Also, Did anybody Know U could to this?
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/edsmkiyu/weird.jpg) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Not the kill DOAM part, but move the results Thingy.
-
With a few more tweaks (notably remove that Ti halfsheet on the back) it would be good enough.
-
I think it would be more useful taking the rear half sheet off and sticking it to the bottom, with only 1mm Titanium i dont know if it will hold up long against something that gets under it
-
Ram Plates are really bad with 2400 hp. Replace them with something else if you can. Try large ski, they are also 20 pounds and provide 8000 HP. They look like they will fit really well in this particular case (you can even drop the extenders too).
name = Ram Plate
preview = ramplate_preview.bmp
dir = ram_plate
model = ramplate1.gmf
type = extras
base = Component
styles = Default
description = Generic metal plate, useful for a ram, shield, or other device. Hitpoints are 8000.
styles = Ramplate, ramplate2.txt, Extra Wide, UM_kevplate.txt, Titanium sheet, UM_kevplate2.txt, HalfSheet
damagesounds = sounds\ramplate_hit.wav
hitpoints = 2400

-
ha ha, fail!
Anso, they do damage which is good for countering...
I dod that for some pics. Not uploaded...
-
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/hcwb3zv9/akkaba2.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Last longer, and saved enough weight to add another batt.
Thanks for that advice 123.
Is it good now naryar?
-
You could possibly turn the rear armor to top armor.
-
Yeah, remove that rear ski and get 3mm Plastic.
And honestly 4 ants would be enough.
-
Heh, Ski armor? xD
-
Continuing my cube theme
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/atzxjbmv/Flippincube.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Still in testing, but so far has been able to outwedge and flip out all MW bots I have tested it agaisnt in the NAR AI
-
Wow! That Cube is armored very good! In Clawtop arena, It would be almost Unbeatable...
-
I sense preparation for CC3...
-
Hey Happy Birthday dude.
(2 days till mine! :D)
-
Been awhile since i built some bots, cause of stuff IRL.
Anyway, these bots are just rush jobs, so i could got battling again :)
First: Metal Militia
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/dhjg313c/metalmilitia.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
An angled fs, with razor tips and 1 mm titanium. Good wedge too :-D
Next, a LW u will all hate me for it :)
The Weird One
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/288v1z60/TheWeirdOne.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Yeah, a crawler. does have controlled movement, but every now and then the axles will screww up and then the bot will spin at insane speeds :evil::evilsmile: Plastic though
Wired Whip
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/x2taycxi/WiredWhip.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
LW flail Hs. Doesn't do too bad, but most bots in the nar ai will get under it and destroy it :( 1 mm titanium
And Shadow Hidden Strike:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/w3vfxk3/shadowhiddenstrike.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Upgrade to shadow Strike. 1 mm Titanuim, fast and powerful. Does plenty of damage. Just can't self right
Yerah
-
You uploaded the wrong picture for the weird whip.
-
you put weird whip twice
-
Notice.Fixed it:P
-
Overall, try to use ant batts on these. Your FS probably doesn't need more than 4-5 ants, and your LWs could do well with just three.
For your flail HS, maybe adding some protection to the bottom of the magmotor would allow you to last a bit longer against gutrippers.
And don't worry about being hated for posting a certain bot type. I don't really see any reason why any bot type should be hated, because all designs have their weaknesses. Besides, comments like "flails are teh ghey" are empty statements anyway :P.
-
Your FS isn't bad, but bear claws = normals = not a good idea, and Ounce is right on the battery power, you would be better with 4-5 ants.
I am not going to comment on the crawler and the flail HS because yes, they are teh ghey.
SHS looks the best of all, but you definitely need 3 ants for that because it's going to deplete it's batteries very fast.
-
For the Flail HS, I don't see why the axles are at an angle.
-
Joeblo said something about angled flails performing better against wedges, but if DK says that it doesn't perform that well against gutrippers, then I don't see the purpose of having them angled.
I am not going to comment on the crawler and the flail HS because yes, they are teh ghey.
Don't worry, I have the perfect solution for you:
(http://static.open.salon.com/files/a_homophobe1251815020.jpg)
Seriously though, I'm starting to get sick of your negativity.
-
Anti-flail builders of RA2, unite ?
Now that's an idea.
-
vertical flails preform well against wedges, horizontals ones are the normal way to go but diagonal ones act almost like static weaponry so best be shifting them another 45 degrees DK
-
Bot choy is back:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/ok3ed9r/botchoy.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm titanium, and bot choy's chassis.
Also, just to give you an idea on how wedgy it is:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/9f0w3wl3/lol.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
LOL
gona go see what i can do with the other rookie bots :gunz:
-
Win
-
If that thing can beat HNM, then I'm scared. Also, I think the spike strips would do better if placed on the side panels.
-

HNM eh? Shall go try that out later, right now, testing All Terrain Dragster :-D
-
DP but:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/jdqi351n/screenshot_7.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
That, was to0 easy :P
-
Though it has great wedges, I'm still kinda worried about the lack of weapons. Try it against Grog and Circle of Thorns III. :D
-
Wedges are better with built up speed. For a true test, go into the combat arena and charge head-on. For an even better test, AI it.
-
^^ Clearly. A real wedge test is AI-ind your bot and facing... i think Second Sentinel or Century Storm in the hazardless Combat Arena.
-
^^ Clearly. A real wedge test is AI-ind your bot and facing... i think Second Sentinel or Century Storm in the hazardless Combat Arena.
No pleasing you guys is there? Ill go ai Bot Choy and try it in the combat arena. But not today, got to do some stuff.....
-
its difficult to 100% please naryar in DSL haha I have done it only like 2x :P
but yes driving yourself doesn't prove a whole lot as the AI arnt the smartest drivers
-
More like
its absolutely impossible to 100% please naryar in DSL
It never gets over 90% normally...
-
Even for yourself at times, lol!
-
Pic don't work man.
-
FUN:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/awiv14co/FUN.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm titanium. Hard to control, but fun to use. Hasn't actually been in a battle yet though, just in the testing zone.
Also, I wonder if any of u can geuss what inspired me to make this bot?
-
Scorpio?
-
Nope. :P
-
dead metal ?
-
Nope :P
Come on JoeBlo, u should know this, we were playing it yesty :P
-
wow really ?? its basically dead metal with 2 saws rather then 1
also you might want to cut down on the batts a bit to get some better Armour, I think a HW pop up at Pwn's or Ounce's level would take out 1mm titanium in about 1 hit
-
Yeah I know that it wouldn't last long with only 1 mm Titanium. But, I only made it for fun and to see if it would work
-
so how is it wired ?
both claws on 1 analog and the saw servo on another ?
on off switch for the saws ?
-
Basically, cept the saws arn't on a on off switch.
Edit: Hmmmm, The servo has enough power to self right the bot, yet it won't flip an opposing bot.....
odd.
-
hehe why wouldn't you put them on an on/off switch ? do you have a third hand ? :P
the servo only has the roll your robot over, it will have to hoist 800kg for the other robot
-
Nope. But heres how it work
WSAD to move the bot
QE for the Claws
ZX for the saw arms
And space for the saws themselves :)
-
I understand but would it not be easier to hit space once to start the saws and then just fight ? you only have to worry about the claws then...
once you snag a robot you only need to worry about the arm ?
just an idea to make it easier for you .. you have ample batteries to run the saws constantly
-
The only bots that pops up in my mind is Ginsu and Ronin....
-
Interesting. I might try and build something like this later.
-
Spin Orbiting Force?
-
Some updates :D
Anyway, AW, a MW vs
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/wxlw95f/AW.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm Tite. Just a test to see if it would work. And it does. Problem though, it defeats my CC3 entry :P
Another test:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/laxuzw5n/Failed.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Failed. Just didn't work the way I had hoped for
And some updated bots:
First: The trap master:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/m6q4f5h6/TheTM.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Nothing much changed, just the wedge. armour still the same
Decoy;
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/motlglud/decoy.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
ALOT has changed on this bot. Firstly, its now back to it's orignal setup ( perm in the chassis, and drive etek with technos ). More outside armour on the bot aswell, and the wedge has also changed :). Better than the original. Armour still the same.
-
You have so much extra weights, might as well up your chassis armor to steel 10 or whatever it is you can afford.
-
You have so much extra weights, might as well up your chassis armor to steel 10 or whatever it is you can afford.
U do relize that TTM and Decoy is a SHW cluster bot?
-
No I don't. I guess only for your piglet bot then (if you are going to keep it).
-
Sweet bots! Mind if I use the weapon system of your drum on my prototype? It's so awesome. :D
-
Decoy looks really good for a sub HW robot
you could AI them and test them against Grindhosue now :P
-
Sweet bots! Mind if I use the weapon system of your drum on my prototype? It's so awesome. :D
Nope, go right ahead. O and thanks :D
@JoeBlo: Ah yes. Time for Revenge :evilsmile: O, I think it's spelt Grindhouse :p
-
stop picking on spelling when I type to fast :p also you still owe me that $20,000 Virtual Money :p
-
Yeah.. about that....
Anyway, heres Blastlab (yeah, ima running out of ideas):
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/tvviou26/BlastLab.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Lw sawbot with 1 mm tite. Works quite well. 3 ants if you cant see
Infectious Virus upgrade:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/qgdlz7i/virus.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm tite with npc fast. Good for trapping bots.
Infectious Desiease ( yes, i spelt it wrong):
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/rl3xbkn3/desiease.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm tite. Quite destructive
Speedy Recovery:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/sgghmb80/speedy.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Just wanted to try a MW with 4 npc fast with hypnos. Fast :) 1 mm tite
-
all the names seem related did you send this to Nar ?
anyway Infectious Virus looks awesome, only thing is there may be better choices then flipper segments for trapping robots
-
eh no, I havnt even though of sending a team to nar :P
Might though, just really need a good HW
-
err sorry to say its about 7 days past the extended deadline :P
eh no, I havnt even thought of sending a team to nar :P
their is a t in thought :p
lol got you back
-
O well then NVm about it :p
Ill get u back someday
-
Your MW rammer is underpowered.
-
Didn't Expect this to work but:
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/syfrbz3b/ES.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
I might Have found my HW for the team.
Anyway, 3 mm titanium, and Great trapping action. Kill Sheck Spinners for breakfeast.
Problem: Not invertible but I still like it :D
-
Looks awesome, but the weapon setup after the angled shell panels is kinda messy.
-
Kill Sheck Spinners for breakfeast.
why do you Kill your breakfast ? hahaha
anyway really nice looking robot, the name Dissection comes to mind :evilsmile:
but yeah seems a little messy on the sides
-
Cool design, but your weapon setup is really messy.
-
Some of the weapons are useless props like those spike strips.
-
I like it. The bot damages the opponent as it drives up the wedge, and traps their wedges over the juggling weapons!
Yeah, you should play aroun with the side weapons more, it looks jagged and HS foody...
-
5 lws, and I still cant decide which one to use for wheely tag team tournament
1: A lw drum bot
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/5b20c/DrumTest.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Yes, the piglets are angled on purpose. Quite wedgy, able to outwedge metal hinge wedges, with small wedges :)
A quick killer, with 1 mm Titanium
2: Evil Eye
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/f4iw5dy8/EvilEye.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
LW rammer trapper. Kinda doesn't trap the way I had hope, but it still does quite some damage. 1 mm Titanium.
3: Some Odd vs
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/40hvaj0m/Someoddvs.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Fusion between reier's vs and scraps vs. Does quite well, but tips when turns too fast. 3 mm Plastic
4: Test Flip
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/uflum69k/TestFlip.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Yeah, wanted to try a bot with the firestorm flipper. Work quite well, wedgey and powerful. ( yes, I know its 10 kgs underweight, was gona try some different wheels on it)
5: UnderStrike v4
(http://img5.imagebanana.com/img/miaj8oef/UnderStrikev4.png) (http://img5.imagebanana.com/)
Even more powerful, wedgy and defensive. 3 mm plastic
What ya guys think?
-
On the trapper, angle the razors up. Will trap much better.
-
Thanks sage, will definetly try that
-
shhhhh dont let nary see the trapper :P
to me the pop up looks the best
-
shhhhh dont let nary see the trapper :P
TOO DAMN LATE !
It looks good but still a clone and a design i was going to build:P
On the trapper, angle the razors up. Will trap much better.
I will agree with this. I need to rebuild Blade Barrier this way.
-
You've seen my bot, and in all honesty I think the Drum and VS compliments it.
However, The popup is just too good looking, even though I hate Firestorm Flippers.
I'd choose the popup...
-
Ha, been a while but ima building again. Anyway, upgraded Blast Lab:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81196BL2.png)
Even more destructive, but not as wedgy as I hoped for. 1 mm plastic
comments please :D
-
Plastic with a tite paintjob lol. It's probably not wedgy enough because either its drive is too weak or the stabilizers are too low to the ground.
-
Plastic with a tite paintjob lol. It's probably not wedgy enough because either its drive is too weak or the stabilizers are too low to the ground.
First one.
-
I dunno, Ion Thruster has pretty good wedges (if Samurai's wedges are good, then IT's wedges are better) despite having the same drive as Blast Lab.
-
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/2x8asfg7/WallTrap.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
Yes, generic name. Yes, drive motors used for weapon motors, but it is as durable as heck.
Weapons sometimes don't last long though. 3 mm Plastic
-
Haphazard meets LW Class ?
the saw intersection could be a bother though, you could always trade them for something lighter and then get some better motors.
-
Haphaard meets Short Bus?
-
You could probably remove the halfsheet and use a metal hinge wedge. But I don't know whether a wedge can be beneficial at that speed or not. :D
-
righto, bbeans6 is on us, so here are the LWs I am testing to see who is the best allrounder, Some have been showcased before, some havn't.

And yes, ActinomycosisSS has been beaten, try to guess which bot did it :D
-
What does rock do?
UnderStirke V4.
-
Simple, its a poker, with a twist
It gets the bot onto the plough, and because of the weight, the front end of rock lifts up. It then fires, usually pushing the oppenent into the air and if lucky enough, over the walls :D
-
in your face v3 is my favorite here
but rock sounds kinda interesting, also very strong frontal Armour to combat those generic shell spinners (everyone else is doing the trash talk so why cant I ? :P)
-
Well the tatic seems to be working, but Might change the wheels, cause It tends to get flipped over, and it's not invertible with those wheels :P
-
just raise the drive a bit and put vlads on it ;)
-
Well, I ended up sending in TSOAN. Even though Actinomycosis SS had the best result, I didn't want to send in a Sheck spinner soo yeah.
New bot, Vector BLING
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/w56we0h8/VB.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
3 mm tite. Don't know what inspired me to make it, but it just poped into my head and I had to make it. Srimech doesn't work to well though :p
-
Should have moar armor
-
more armour as in...
-
Two med DSL plows in a V trapping design like my Heartbreaker.
I am wondering if a metal skirt wedge is not better...
-
I will try that out, but that bot as been going good in testing so yeah. We shall see.
-
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/2jaevwj/Rock.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
IF YA SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLL.......AOWWW!
WHEN THE ROCK...
HAS...
:fail:'d.
(Unless it's a flipper with awesome armour or a pop-up, in which case, it's ok :P)
-
wat
-
Stop quoting pics, man. Posting the one you need would suffice.
Also, Nary's right. Bots shouldn't slide up the blades. :D
-

New trap master is going great:
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/eemq4j8z/newTM.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
Now, for decoy....
-
Lawl razors
-
Whats so lawl about it?
It traps great, got good wedges, and can out weapon and beat grog sometimes (grog havoks usually sending TM oota).
Only at 600 kgs.
-
Oh, cool. I didn't recognize that piglet a while ago.
And I lawled because for a moment I thought those were Lightning teeth. Then I realized it's DK's showcase I'm looking at. XD
-
O ok :P
Decoys almost done too, also sporting razors
-
I think I may have just created the most awesome looking true pop-up ever.
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/sfbkburr/TheRedToro.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm Tite, IIRC. May not be as effective as other mw true pop-ups, but it just looks sooo awesome I had to share it with you guys :D
-
You could get rid of the battlepack and swap the BSG razors to irons. :D
-
perhaps, but...
its just too awesome :D
-
BSG razors to irons. :D
lol like he would ever remove razors
-
o wait i forgot that it's dk i'm talking to lolololololol
-
My Razorback v3 is better :P
And you can save weight by stacking skirt hinges via snapper loading (see your wet dream) rather than using flippermakers.
But yes, it looks cool.
BSG razors to irons. :D
lol like he would ever remove razors
Correct
-
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/twmy3ewx/TRTF.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
I just did a JoeBlo :P
-
awesome. I completely forgotten those tazbot wedge existed until now.
-
Cool. The last bot I saw with tazbot wedges was either Stag's bot (forgot what it was called) or R0B0's Electric R3d.
Also the flame popup is a new idea.
-
Also the flame popup is a new idea.
popup with flamethrowers is a new idea ;)
-
I think so. But it all depends if you put the flamethrowers on the bursts or not... then it is a flame popup, else it's just a popup with flamethrowers as joey said. But i can't see such a design being effective.
Last bot i saw with tazbot wedges is... well, Bad Attitude :P
-
I made a flail flamethrower pop up some time ago... looked awesome when firing weapons but havoked like heck if it hit something :P
you made recall it... my BOTM entry Spitfire
-
Oh, that was a popup?
-
yes.. the intention was to hit robots with large balls of fire rather then solid weapons
but all it did was look pretty
-
No, its just a pop up with flamethrowers :P
Anyway, here is a bot I built for the sake of it. Kinda a tribute to Barbie as I got the idea from one of her bots
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/gjbtuai2/MT.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
1 mm tite. Can go nuts after hard hits. Also, can self right with its weapon, which I think is amazing.
And incase your wondering on how powerful it is:
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/k01syruj/POWER.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
And Undercut is meant to be a wedge killer :/
-
Try fiddling around with your setup so you can get NPCs in there. You can use angled sheets so they can act both as a feeder wedge and side stabilizers. :D
-
It looks like you're overweight by a few hectograms (or whatever one tenth of a kilogram is). Might I suggest shrinking the chassis enough to get you at the weight limit?
-
O crap, didnt realise that I was overweight D:
Must pay more attention to the weight bar...
@pwn: Defiently will give it a try, but it is quite fast as it is..
for a HS that is
-
OK fixed it
(http://www.imagebanana.com/img/48l20gx3/MTrevised.png) (http://www.imagebanana.com/)
More stable :D
-
No razors ?
-
*shock* *horror* IT HAS NO RAZORS
This isnt the first bot I built without razors you know?
-
Should probably be faster, and doesn't needs a quad mag for swords like this
-
This isnt the first bot I built without razors you know?
*cough* trouble in bed *cough*
-----
this bot reminds me of Hazard
-
No, razor tip just wasnt happy with me when I asked you to marry me :P
-
The drive is fine, but seeing how it has a wedge...
-
ARGH IMAGE BANANA DIED ON ME AGAIN D:
Anyways, time to meet your maker:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1802TM.png)
The Maker. 1 mm titanium. Name inpired by the saying "time to meet your maker". While in the process of building this out of the blue, I thought it was gona be junk. Its nothing but. It chews bots up like...er....soemething that chews fast :D
-
image banana? why not use gametechmod's image uploader?
-
what NPC's are they ?
-
Cause I have been using it before I came to this forums :P
Force of habit
@JoeBlo: NPC fasts
-
i like it, nice use of PA skirts :)
-
try normal NPC's with Hypno's.. it should be better
-
Actually, IIRC, those wheels have the same grip as Hypnos, they're just heavier.
-
LOL I just gave Doomkiller a physics lesson over IM about how its just as good
with acceleration (which is what matters with general size arenas) smaller wheels have less surface area to travel so they move faster then larger wheels.
so it would bee a weight reduction regardless...
if he wants more speed add hypnos on,
if he wants roughly the same speed (maybe a tad slower) but better HP for the motors use the normal/ hypno combo,
-
Size of wheels has no relevant to how fast you travel in this game, because you move forward by magical forces, not wheel spinning. All the game cares about is the grip value.
And NPC Fast is roughly 33% faster. And NPC Normal Left/Right only has 400 HP. In short, avoid NPC Normal except the first one (with 12000 HP).
If on NAR AI, then since NPC Fast got 2000 HP you don't want NPC Normal. I never got to rationale as to why the best motor in the game needed a buff and the not so good one needed a nerf...... But hey, I thought everyone uses NPC fast at 400 HP speaks for itself.
-
lol this game is even crappier then I give it credit for :P
wait so all the NPC styles have horrible HP ? I thought it was only the Fast ones.
-
Yup all the NPC styles have horrible HP.
-
well, time to actually do what this forum is about. Build weird looking robots on a crappy game
Anyway here is an old attempt at an UHW. Out with the old and in with the...old?
That AWESOME THING (for lack of a better name):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90180That Awesome Thing.png)
10 mm steel I believe. Dual perm powering the main FS
I will showcase some other robots soon. Once I build them XD
-
I am guessing you got bored of efficient building after a while and started to put out random components on the bot to try to get to the weight limit ?
-
uhhhh yeap, thats what happened XD
-
You can use up the rest of the weight with another Dual Perm FS. Gets rid of the unwedginess due to torque.
-
*Thinks where to put it
Might be a bit hard, but I'll see what I can do :)
-
More "going to TAKE FOREVER" than "a bit hard", but yes.
-
Nope, I just thought how to do it :D
Now, to see if it works...
-
You should enter COTT.
/shamelessplug
-
Time for an update, on an old bot:
Shadow Ninja. Originality has gone for there is no more trapper sheets. Now there are trapper skies:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78690Shadow Ninja.png)
Great wedges (allthough haven't tested it in NARAI yet) and no, the skies don't get in the way of the weapons. 1 mm Titanium
-
Looks very impressive. Is 1mm Tite enough on a MW?
Also, what I think you should do with the UHW is mount the Face Spinner assembly on a servo or something, so that it can be clamped down onto the top of the opponent. =D
-
Upgrade those poly extenders with the free weight?
-
Not really, but this bot is made to kill quickly or impressively, or get killed quickly XD
-
Should have more weapon weight really...
-
Lol. everytime I go to post a new bot my showcase is hidden deep in the pages..
Anyway, I though up of a crazy concept. You see all those bots with the slow drive and hefty hammers, why not make a similar bot, but with a heap of razors instead, Hence, I bring forth, Defiler:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38661Defiler.png)
1 mm Tite, with a halfsheet on the bottom. Anonys the heck out of popups, so Im happy XD
And heres a stock inspired VS with no name:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64968Thatdidntwork.png)
Mightve been ok if it wasnt for the epic agod :(
-
You can still shrink your rammer's chassis so you can replace your flipper segments with a razor. :D
-
but where would I put that razor though?
-
The same place where you attached your flipper segments. 0.7kg isn't much to lose. :P
-
use the pause key to fix your VS's problem ;) it just happened because you used effe
-
Pause key won't help as it makes your metal hinges worthless. Same thing happened to Grey Matters 3 to 9. XD
You best bet is to rebuild your weapon setup until it's fine (AGOD is still fine as long as it's symmetrical).
-
I only looked at the weapon not the wedge :P
-
1. I didn't use effe
2. The pause key doesn't work anyway, with metal hinges it just makes them go nuts as soon as tha match begins
-
you didnt spin the weapon upon attaching those boxing gloves ? thats usally how you get that collision
and you dont use it before a match silly :P you go into the test arena, hit pause then click back to the bot lab and unpause.. collision fixed but you will need to rebuild the wedges (if its stock inspired it should use mag snappers for the wedge :P)
-
<3 Defiler. Do what pwn said, or get angled metal skirts. They are better as wedges.
-
The VS Looks Awesome! :mrgreen:
-
Like the VS. But if you wanna see an epic AGOD you should check the last page of my showcase...
-
Everyone is talking about of AGOD... What the heck is AGOD? -.-
-
Everyone is talking about of AGOD... What the heck is AGOD? -.-
Really you don't know?
It's the axle god....OF DEAAAAAATH.
Erm, yeah.
-
Okay... Now I understand....
-
axle 'glitch' of death.
-
I don't care if its a god or a glitch it still anonys the crap out of me.
-
Okay... Now I understand....
the wiki is your friend :gawe:
-
upgraded Defiler:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95029Defiler.png)
Still 1 mm tite, but now with faster drive (had normal npcs before), angled skirts and some angled razors protecting the wheels
-
AGOD = Axle Glitch Of Death
I made it up :)
-
AGOD = Axle Glitch Of Death
I made it
How dare you unleash this evil upon us simple robot building folk :P
-
Try rotating the upper rack a bit upwards (like a click or two) since you're using Vlads anyway.
-
That definitely should fight DKWD :O
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81279UIE.png)
Take that Urjak :D
Ai'ed with FBSPlus so it doesnt havok
-
O_O
-
Why waste weight on 2 side panels + razors when you can use irons? That way you can use the wide ant wheel.
-
Because I wanted more RAZORS
Might trade it in for beater bar plus razor though
-
How fast does the motor spin that shell? In my testing, any popup could beat a shell spinner with that much weight in its shell.
-
ocrapitsacube =O
Looks very nice, but like Pwn, I fail to see the point of the Side Panels + single RAZORZ on them. I'd maybe lose them and add flails to the bottom RAZORS, even though I detest Flail spinners, I think it might fare a bit better. And you'd then have 3.3kg left to play with. =D
-
Sorry to do this Doom, but KLONE! Looks effective anyways.
-
Irons = fail flails. There's a reason we say MOAR RAZORS, you know, pwn.
-
Irons = fail flails. There's a reason we say MOAR RAZORS, you know, pwn.
I never said to put irons on flails. :P
-
Eh, havnt had much testing with SS like you have urjak, so I couldn't really say.
No, i'll most likely not enter this in CC4, I only did it for a testing robot (and to beat urjak XD)
Edit: Lol at Naryar. Like the new topic name :P
-
I just had a brilliant idea. To turn TSOAN into a cube:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92537TCOAN.png)
Yeah, the disc are most likely a waste of weight, but it just looks soo cool :D 3mm plastic, if anyone is wondering
-
The discs ARE a waste, but so are the static wedges. Get a skirt hinge wedge, and make the bottom wedge a metal hinger wedge. Also, relace that anlged side panel with a Snow Plow or Panic Attack Skirt or...anything other than that.
-
The discs ARE a waste
Probably.
but so are the static wedges.
Nope.
make the bottom wedge a metal hinger wedge.
Look closely.
Also, relace that anlged side panel with a Snow Plow or Panic Attack Skirt or...anything other than that.
Plow's too heavy, PA skirt's too brittle. A 40cm angled skirt might be better, though.
-
The discs ARE a waste
Probably.
Yes. Very. Removing them would save 20kg, an obvious waste.
but so are the static wedges.
Nope.
Yes. A skirt hinge wedge would be better.
make the bottom wedge a metal hinger wedge.
Look closely.
Wasn't looking at the picture whilst typing. Sorry, kinda screwed myself over.

Eh, I'd go with a Firestorm Flipper or Snow Plow.
-
Yes. A skirt hinge wedge would be better.
]Because the secondary wedges aren't going to be [/size]out-wedging people, then it really does not matter. Though I would say a skirt hinge might provide an easy mounting point if he ditches the disks.
-
ok then fotepx. You try putting a piglet there with a skirt hinge in the way. It just doest work...
-

]Because the secondary wedges aren't going to be [/size]out-wedging people, then it really does not matter. Though I would say a skirt hinge might provide an easy mounting point if he ditches the disks.
And it'll save his 1kg. And it'll stock a wedge getting over the 1st, but under the 2nd, and parylysing them both.ok then fotepx. You try putting a piglet there with a skirt hinge in the way. It just doest work...
*facepalm* mount the piglet ON the skirt hinge...
-
No, never will I put the piglet on the skirt. That will just not work with the main idea that I am going for here (plus I have not have good experiences with piglets on skirt hinges)
-
ok then fotepx. You try putting a piglet there with a skirt hinge in the way. It just doest work...

*facepalm* Clearly, you don't know that it's terribly glitchy.
Seriously. Urjak and I know more DSL than you do. :P
-
Yes Pwn, I know it havoks to buggery, but sometimes it doesn't havok. It depends on chassis armour, wheels, internals and everything. If you get it JUST right, it won't havok.
No, never will I put the piglet on the skirt. That will just not work with the main idea that I am going for here (plus I have not have good experiences with piglets on skirt hinges)
Put the piglet near the back then, and the wedge at the front.
-
Its a cube. And a TS. Having it too far backward will upset the balance when the opponent it shoved onto the wep, and will hinder the wedge (or so i've heard). I will try to remake the static wedges (i.e not using the discs) but I won't change the piglets position K?
-
I will try to remake the static wedges (i.e not using the discs) but I won't change the piglets position K?
Just attach some 20 cm extenders or flipper segments to the already existing MEs and you should be fine.

Fine, since you can't get a skirt hinge on.
-
Yes Pwn, I know it havoks to buggery, but sometimes it doesn't havok. It depends on chassis armour, wheels, internals and everything. If you get it JUST right, it won't havok.
Actually, it simply depends on your motor height. If the motor is flush against the ground, it rarely havoks (which is why R0B0's juggler is quite tame). Putting your motor along with your secondary wedges will just screw everything up. Armor, wheels blah blah don't matter.

Well it does for me, but i'll take your word for it.
-
Bleh, having some problems trying to attach the Flipper segmets. Due to not being the lenght of the disc, the static wedge is just off the ground, making it not helpful at all.
I'll keep trying, but its being a pain XD
-
Use flipper segments for the side wedges and get moar weapons. How's the wedge?
-
Nahahahahahahahhah BAT CUBE!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/91612Bat Cube.png)
3 mm tite. Ant any good, but it just looks awesome :P
-
Just use an angled panel or two, man. You're wasting weight there. And try ditching the skirt hinge system and see if you can put some slims on with the weight freed from the heavy flipper.
nanananananananananananananana
-
AWESOME
-
Sweet. I love the look. How many ants are need to power a JX?
-
Well, I just sent my CC4 bot to Joey, so ima show you guys the other bots that I was working on. Don't ask what armour they have, cause I have forgotten :P
Assualt Cube:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62963Assualt Cube.png)
My attempt at a cube FS. Didn't hav the ripping power that I like :/
Heads Up!:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71073Heads Up!.png)
Hammer bot that didn't do too bad, just usually lost its weaps before the final hit was dealt
Lightning:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46082Lightning.png)
Just wanted to make a bot with npcs. Then I had no-idea what to turn it into, so I made a sort of hs thing. Great at taking of wheels but bad at everything else :P
Lightning Reflector:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30774Lightning Reflector.png)
Yeah, wanted something that would last, and deal damage. Was ok, but not my type of robot
Poker Face:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/40703Poker Face.png)
Just wanted a cube poker. Not good though....
Skyress:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41581Skyress.png)
Epic fun bot is epic. Didn't enter this cause I figure there will be a lot of VSes in CC4. Inspired by 123stw
The Black Mage
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59166The Black Mage.png)
True popup. Wouldve been good, but I could never get the damn thing to drive straight :(
Comment away :P, just remember, these are generally bots that didnt work all too well...
-
awesome.. umm does the skirt on the back of the popup not cause your drive issues ?
-
Nah, it couldn't drive straight before, the skirt was added after when the damn thing flipped itself over after it fired its weaps :P
-
My response to all the bots:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpx7IWPda8A# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpx7IWPda8A#)
Apart from you, Lightning. You can go get killed.
The best probably is The Black Mage, but Skyress looks so godamn awesome, I can't handle it.
-
???
Uhhh, thanks, I guess :P
-
I would recommend entering your cube FS, unless you can build something better than all of those.
Instead of the angled panel+tite sheet thingy, just use the largest angled panels and use the free weight on a stronger weapon setup (5kg BBs + razors?).
-
Skyress would be a lot better with ants/micros and strenghthened extender work. A wide HS would ahnilate it much too quick for my liking.
-

You should see my entry ;)
I will give that idea a go though
@Fotepx: Yeah, but how many lw wide HSes are there?
-
I don't bloody know, do I!?
Anyways, it's not just wide HS'. Wide Rammers and Side hammers would OMNOMNOM on that pretty fast.
-
Side hammers would OMNOMNOM on that pretty fast.
You won't be seeing many of those... However like you said Rammers and HS would likely have their wicked ways with that.

Please analyze the characteristics of a downward poker before you go blabbering about false stuff.
If anything, its extender work should be brittle on the top (as if it can fend off VSes and hammers), so you can achieve a wider stance. It's your choice to downgrade your lower extender work as well, but it might be helpful since it can also make your bot taller.
And try using a Storm instead of a VDMA. If that can't help you self-right, never mind. XD
-
yet it seemed to defeat hammer head shark and raving mad pretty easily..
Yeah, i know the extenders are quite weak, but there wasnt much I could do about it with the weight allowance..
@pwn: More good advice lol. Shall try that out (although I believe there was a reason why I didn't use the storm burst in the first place, but I cant remember)
-
It's your choice to downgrade your lower extender work as well, but it might be helpful since it can also make your bot taller.
I would be concerned about an HS flailing about and hitting them.
-

And I wouldn't be concerned about that, as the top extender work should be long enough to avoid these situations.
-
And I wouldn't be concerned about that, as the top extender work should be long enough to avoid these situations.
Hmmm... probably. Anyways, I am no expert on downward pokers so I'm probably wrong.
-
Funny thing is its kinda just one extender. Didn't think of sectioning it. That might help :P
-

Sectioning it doesn't really change a thing (other than complicating you due to the rule of 7). HP is proportional to the length in DSL, unlike stock. XD
-
I have enough experience with my LW FG to tell you that most bots will hit your legs at some point and some can knock off a 20x40 DSL bar in two hits. But you have to sacrifice the leg strength for the piston I guess.
-
Those are pretty cool. I like Skyress.
-
For Skyress, you can use carbon fiber extender instead of polycarb. You can significantly increase the bot's width that way.
-
BTTB 4 bot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38128Block From Hell.png)
Npc fast, 6 ant batts, perm 80s, 1 mm titanium, with caster armour
Its pretty deadly, though the wedges are average. It would be better if it wasnt on a slant, but i wanted to keep the original look of it. Snapper wedges too. Tired to put 4 disks on there, but it wouldnt fit, so its got 3 instead :P
Only needs an AI then ill send it off to G.K.
-
Looks pretty good. How's it for self-righting?
-
Its pretty good, but self rights better if reversing. If only I could find that AI that did that..
-
BountyHunter.py?
-
Yeah I think thats it :P
Im not sure, havnt done this in a long time
-
BountyHunter.py has no spin command. You can wire the drive to the srimech of any normal AI tho.
-
Hmmm, I hope this is my showcase...
ANYWAY, I felt like building a robot (for once) and the first thing that came to mind was a bar spinner, so this was the result:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9945Sweeper.png)
1 mm Titanium. Pluck at it at will while I build another failed contraption of some sort :P
-
Why the Disc?
-
I needed something to keep the bar above the wheels, and idk, I just put that there
-
MOAR YOU KNOW WHAT
-
MOAR YOU KNOW WHAT
Ballasts? :trollface
Not sure why that extra bar is there, because like what Nary said, YOU COULD USE IT FOR MORE YOU KNOW WHAT
-
MOAR YOU KNOW WHAT
Ballasts? :trollface
*randomly slaps pwn with a red extender*
Anyways, it looks like it could use more drive. Your upper DSL bar seems pointless, and your razor extender work could be lighter IMO.
-
Pretty nice, don't know why there is a top bar.
Could do with less extenders and i'm not sure if it's realistic :P
Try and upgrade the drive if you can.
-
*randomly slaps pwn with a red extender*
:O The Ultimate penalty...
Hmm.. unless... Red Extender Banhammer?

1 mm titanium. Would've been better if the wedges weren't agodded -_- (considering they are there to keep it stable). More destructive though. NPC fasts if anyone was wondering. Was thinking of downgrading that and putting more razors on
-
too bad about the AGOD. You also got some funky extender work. Not sure how to do it better so if someone could explain, go ahead.
-
You actually have some really good ideas here. Refine that extender work up top, drop down to NPC norms + Wides, and spam those razors!
(But everybody knows Medium DSL beaters > Small DSL Teeth are better :trollface)
-
Not sure on the weapon, those poly extenders look vulnerable, and having the razors in a row doesn't make much sense to me and my stick-a-hammer-on-it ways.
-
use a longer DSL bar and use side panels to put on the razors.
also you don't need that crazy extender work for the stabilizer.
-
Errr what crazy extender work?

Downgraded the drive to npc fasts, more weaps and more damage. Longer bar as well. Likes to be a bumble ball every now and then :P
1 mm tite still, insides the same
-
better. Get rid f the poly extender on the stabilizer and upgrade the wheels (you should have enough to change the large ants to minis)

1 mm Titanium, npc fasts. Seems to rip everything to shreds. Great wedges too.
May redesign the chassis later, right now having too much fun destroying everything
-
Obvious Trov-Glitch-able chassis is obvious.
The main point I would bring up is to have the wheels stick out the back to aid inverted mobility/self-righting.
Also, upgrade those wedges with the kg you have.

Ummm, I didn't use trov glitch on that SM..
And ok, i'll see what I can do

I have a slightly similar bot, but it has a T body, a heavy plow, only one long wedge, 12 razors on hexes on piglets and rubbers.

I always like bots like this. Good jorb there, Doomkiller.

Thanks, but you could do a better job with your spelling :P

It was a Homestar Runner reference.

*no idea what that is*

if you trov flitch the chassis then you should be able to get grippier wheels on that.

Sorry guys, I am just a bit

1mm Titanium, npc fasts. The wedges suck though, in the process of trying to remake them. I did try using metal hinges + small wedge before (like I like to use) but they kept glitching out on me, I'll report back once I have figured something out (or post any idea's, all are welcomed)
-
I love how you've used the panic attack skirt. Does it get deweaponed much by HS's, with only 8 razors?? EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the beaters.
-
Just use 1 120cm skirt in the middle for 2 reasons.
1. Using only the center point on skirt hinge improves the wedge
2. Face Spinners benefit more by forcing a wedge lock than trying to actually beat popups at the out-wedge game.

It has 8 Razors and 8 small beater bars, it outweaponed Lock Nut (knocked off all 3 sledgehammers)

Alright, I'll try that, thanks.

I like it. Looks like something I would build.
