Welcome back BTW. :D

Did you get a new compy or fix the old beast?

yoda9726 · « **Reply #121 on:** July 05, 2012, 05:13:55 AM »

Thank you thank you.

Finally got a new one. Which means, yes, ITAT will be completed as promised. Gotta do a few other things first, and get fraps again. So glad to actually be able to do the things I enjoy again. The temporary replacement computer was little better than a way to check facebook.

THIS IS GLORIOUS

You forgot VS (although the drum would probably double as that already) and FS though

Originally had a VS on there, but it kept AGODing, so I gave up and took it off. The FS WAS simply a matter of forgetting....and weight issues.

Haha, that's pretty dang hillarious. You should send this 7 Deadly Sins team to Nar AI.

Found this when going through a bot folder. This was supposed to be for conraaa's goodguys vs badguys tournament.

Based on Raistlin and Caramon Majere from Dragonlance.

Raistlin: Plastic 1 armor (yup) to represent him wearing robes and being physically weak and frail.
The flame throwers represent his magic use.

Caramon: Chainmail 5 armor. (titanium 5, actually) The noble warrior is heavily armored.
He uses swords in battle.

Their weights are also following in line with the characters. Raistlin being the smaller, less muscular of the twins.

These bots were never meant to be good. I again went more for the theme than anything. Although Raistlin seems to hold his own if he doesn't havok straight to Tahkisis' realm.

Caramon could work with a medium plow and titanium skirts, or, in fact, just the one skirt. The weapon is messy and overall ineffective.

Just Saiyan.

Raistlin looks good but the chassis needs to be smaller.

yoda9726 · « **Reply #126 on:** August 13, 2012, 04:38:58 AM »

Elevated drum.
Tite 5 armor. Invertible. Lotsa empty space, but I've never really liked the ultra-tiny chassis.

Wow, I really like that. I imagine it'd be fairly effective too.

yoda9726 · « **Reply #128 on:** August 13, 2012, 05:23:13 AM »

Doesn't do too bad. sometimes the trapping sheet on the back gets in the way, but more often than not, it serves it's purpose beautifully. fun fact: this was the original concept of Gluttony.

madman3 · « **Reply #129 on:** August 13, 2012, 07:40:58 AM »

ahahah damnit, I had pretty much this exact idea for my bot for TA2 :P

yoda9726 · « **Reply #130 on:** August 16, 2012, 05:08:17 AM »

What may very well be my worst idea ever....

A flail rammer. Tite 10 armor. 2 ants. blue control board, the rest, you can see. Works better than I thought it would. extremely havok prone though

Naryar · « **Reply #131 on:** August 16, 2012, 05:31:07 AM »

it's original... but ugh all those flails

yoda9726 · « **Reply #132 on:** August 16, 2012, 06:16:33 AM »

agreed, actually. But it wouldn't exactly be a flail rammer without all those flails

Or you could use less flails and make it a cross between an inertia powered side hammer and a rammer ?

Interesting idea but I see limited damage potential from the side hammers.

What I mean is attaching each weapon rack on a flail. Besides, it won't do less damage than a standard rammer.

Nice idea. I imagine that when traping SSes, instead of getting swept away or lose the weapons in 10 seconds flat, the weapon will just flail away with the shell, slowing the shell down a bit, giving you more chance to do something with the SS.

...thats pretty much what most trappers do

anyway, it looks like a good idea to me, could be made pretty well as a middleweight/lightweight i imagine

yoda9726 · « **Reply #138 on:** August 11, 2014, 07:12:34 AM »

So, I know I finished the Seven Deadly Sins, but there was one that I never really liked.....Pride. One, I didn't like making it a lightweight, and two, I sacrificed a lot of the theme to make it at least a decent tournament bot. In the words of the good Doctor....No more.

DISCLAIMER: This was ONLY made to fit the theme. Not looking for improvement advice...I know what I did wrong.

What would the bot-Incarnation of Pride be? Basically, screw your rules, I can kick your ass without them. So it is (ironically) with shame I present the newly updated Pride.

Let's play spot the problems.
1. Underweight.
2. Piglet drive
3. Aluminum armor
4. Bad battery choice.
5. Wrong control board
6. Tons of empty space.
7. Two totally useless razors packed inside the chassis
8. Previously mentioned razors attached with an omni- extender thing.
9. Ballast
10. Bad armor plate in the back of the bot.
11. Whatever those teeth are for weapons.

I basically looked over Nary's efficient building guide and did the opposite. Can it 'kick your ass' with all these problems? Probably not, but it was kinda fun building THIS bad of a bot and it can (barely) beat quite a few of the standard DSL AI bots.

NEEDS MORE ANT BLADES!!!
Oh, and put both the wedges on one skirt hinge for more terribleness
