Title: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: El Chickenado on April 20, 2014, 08:17:34 PM

First of all, instead of attaching images to your post, upload them using GTM's image host:
https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?page=Image_Host (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?page=Image_Host)

From what I can see it doesn't look bad, but why tracks? Since you aren't using the 60kg extra weight they come with, you could easily use technos or overkills and be faster, which is what you need as a flipper bot.

thanks for the image host
i went with tracks to provide some pushing power as a backup weapon if the sheets fall off
it might seem ineffective but it alows me to get under skirts on most robots (which according to the battlebots page apparently are common) it dominates most skirts and allows for pushing around the opponent easily. it was thought out to use wheels but tracks are good for these reasons. also tracks are rarely used but are very effective on wedges out of my testing. also the sheet at the front is a skirt so i can get under and push.
P.S. how do i download the advertisements listed on the page as in where do they go in the folder?

If you're talking about Sponsor Decals they belong in the texture library, either in the folder itself or in a folder within that folder I forgot.

Anyways, yea. You're gonna want to make use of that extra 60KG's.

Also, is that skirt hinge on the back lifted up one notch? If it isn't, it won't be accepted.

Besides that... okay I guess? I would've gone with wheels to be faster, but if what you're saying is true then okay. It's probably gonna get dominated if a flipper or wedged bot get's it's sides or back but okay.

You shouldnt need to download anything. Just choose the picture you want to upload on the site, copy/paste the first link with the img tags, and put it in your post.

If I'm not mistaken, you can add shell panels onto the threads, just like Triclops has, then add spikes onto it. Or another shell panel as a wedge of sorts.

You really shouldnt need back protection, BB9 is a 1v1 tournament and all robots once AI'ed attack the front of your robot.

Post by: El Chickenado on April 20, 2014, 09:44:35 PM
i changed the flipper to be more effective for immobilizing
tried out the side paneling did'nt work i put cutting teeth on it which helps to win by damage.

okay here is the new and advertised lambchop
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93941lambchop 4.png)
it is titanium five, uses e-tec drive motors so it is faster and has teeth on the sides to allow for protection from the sides

and here is my light weight i am planning to enter lil wheely ,i am going for the sort of unintimidating name thing that sunshine lollibot had.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96011wheely.png)
it only has plastic 5 so it is weak but it can self right and already includes advertising

any improvements that could be made to either?
*edit: found out how to work the pictures
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: Badnik96 on April 21, 2014, 08:51:32 PM
I'd advise larger teeth and less armor for your LW.
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: El Chickenado on April 21, 2014, 09:01:02 PM
what armor should i go for it has plastic 5 already?
also what teeth are recommended?
also any advice on lambchop?
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: Badnik96 on April 21, 2014, 09:45:13 PM
plastic 5 is way overkill. I'd go for maybe plastic 3 and the largest beater bars you can afford with the weight.

I disagree.
If he really needs to save weight he can just get rid of that weird srimech thing he has going on since pretty much all VS can self-right using their weapon

the self righting arm is necessary on the lw it cannot self right otherwise sadly

i like it too but need to take advantage of the extra weight it can have
oh well
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24554lambchop 5.png)
some improvements are the new added ripping tooth for stopping full body and horizontal spinners in an attempt to better flip them, an extra segment on the back to help self right and a new paint job with less ads ( i did'nt want to use all of them)

this is not robot related but you have some epic spyware on your computer. that "backup service" does not backup anything. basically reads sh** off your hardrive and sends it to a server that is sniffing for logins/credit info. it also disables firewalls and other fun stuff that keeps your computer safe.

DO NOT PUT A CREDIT CARD IN IT. AND IF IT ALREADY HAPPENED LOOK FOR SUSPICIOUS CHARGES

download and run malwarebytes https://www.malwarebytes.org/ (https://www.malwarebytes.org/)

2000's kid... whatever floats your boat.

The thing with VS is that they should (in most cases) be able to selfright with the recoil of their weapon when it hits the ground, like 090901 is saying. Maybe if you made your bot wider and shorter, maybe upgrade the weapon motor, and turn the teeth around so they can pick up the opposing robot.

Lambchop looks decent. It won't be accepted unless you have a skirt hinge wedge thats 1 or more "notches" high.

lambchop follows this rule so much so i did a compete redesign at one point to allow it
also 200's kid you added one too many zeros
anyway progress had been made in a mcgeiver attempt to make lil wheely better
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23249wheely2.png)
it can now self right without the bsg which has been removed i changed to hypno wheels for better maneuvaribility and made the disc larger
i also built a rammer named springer because of how the skirt behaves with the wedges
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7812springer 1.png)
it will not be in a tournament but i wanted to test out wedges on skirt hinges
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: Elementos on April 22, 2014, 04:44:06 AM
Lil wheeler is a lot better. The only thing I fear is that if those wedges get hit, your bot wont be able to function correctly. Maybe try some better wedges like the skirts. Also, try to avoid using the t connectors as they are extremely weak and if hit the whole front of your bot will be missing. (Again the functionality would be affected by this.) I like the look of that wedge-bot though. 

Also, 300th post ^^
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.

Off topic: You'd better clear up that malware quick. You better have the spyware variant and not the backdoor dropper variant or you're screwed.

On topic: Springer looks nice. I like the way the wedges blend wih the skin.

i may be wrong but i thnk he began talking about springer without clarifying it

I like this. Well weaponed, neat. Only thing is you have A LOT of weight left. You can use this for some better armour or better drive (I presume by the axles that you're using astros again)

Insides?

If you're a bit over, take an ant out. You need 4 max there. Also, if that bar cuts through any of the components inside the chassis (eg batteries) when it spins, it's not IRL or even DSL-Standard.

Get rid of an Ant Battery, you only need 3 so 4 would still be good.

Try to add external armour, (Like Wheel protectors as they are exposed.) If all else fails do what Kurt and Craaig said.

have fun with my joke robot i made after i found out about the orphans tournaments that happened

and also why not to let your younger siblings make an irl bot

Post by: Elementos on April 22, 2014, 03:43:53 PM
Upload your bot to the bot exchange, then once it's uploaded, go to download bots and the category your bot is in (Such as DSL MW) and find your bot. Right click on the link, and choose copy link address. Then PM that link to the host of the tourney.

Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: cephalopod on April 22, 2014, 04:06:45 PM
Signups won't fill fast, BB uses unlimited entries until the closing date.

The way I do antiballasts is to find the txt file of a smartzone I don't use and change the weight to -400.

shw

steel 10 easily and quickly self rights
its my first ever shw though so im sure you guys can suggest improvements
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: Badnik96 on April 22, 2014, 06:52:05 PM
You need more weaponry and less armor, also a tougher disc. At least the armored disc if not the full one for that size. Get some hammers and a bigger motor to spin it (Perm 132 or MOE motor). 4 beaters is literally nothing at SHW level.

i present to you
carousel

and the insides
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65835carousel inside.png)
it has a weapon which allows easy breaking through extenders it is steel 10 easily hits for 2000 damage very effective but any suggestions will still be used

it works pretty much the same
and the new lighter carousel

does the same damage and is more compact im glad i had to change it

Swap out the battlepacks with 3 ants and make sure the bar doesnt clip the wheels.

Can we see a shot of the other side of lil wheely? Cuz I dont think the problem's fixed...
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: El Chickenado on April 23, 2014, 12:09:31 AM
the problem was that both sides of the discs were not armored i copied it onto the other side if you still want a picture i can give you one
also carousel doesnt interfere with the wheels this took hours to find out how to get irl
it is ok in damage

But yeah, that front wedge is ugly and you're quite a way underweight.
I would consider posting the insides of your robots as well as the outside so people can help with the layout.

More bot advice, I'm not sure how I like the beaters. On one hand, they make it look like the original firestorm. On the other, they deal popup-eqsue damage.

(Finally be careful with off-topic posting, as the rules state, excessive off-topic posting can get you in trouble.)
well you should know about that wouldnt you craaig? ;)

More bot advice, I'm not sure how I like the beaters. On one hand, they make it look like the original firestorm. On the other, they deal popup-eqsue damage.
its really just called calypso because of the c siding decal i put on the back but... sure its an omage... yeah!
>Calypso
Haven't heard that name in a while, heh.
But yeah, that front wedge is ugly and you're quite a way underweight.
I would consider posting the insides of your robots as well as the outside so people can help with the layout.

i know the front wedge is bad and im trying to fix it also being underweight is to help with speed

Get rid of the wheels on axles and power your motors with 3 ant batteries. Also your spikes are blocking your drums from hitting opponents.

I like the name though :)

Post by: cephalopod on April 25, 2014, 10:54:00 AM
Firstly, that's a massive image for a tiny bot, shrink it down. You could still have invertibility with smaller, less heavy wheels if you raised your motors up inside, and also if that weapon assembly is fixed, I imagine the actual chassis isn't straight up in battles? Having the chassis straight rather than bent over improves steering. But yeah, that mag is massively exposed. What are the internals?

boring wedge

make it a dustpan

or a dantomkia styled flipper

you have 25 kg left

secondly, your chassis extends beyond the titanium sheet. rendering it useless.

and no shtuff attached to the base of the bot, cause its indestructible and not irl so might wanna just replace that with something else

Use less drive on Disc-ioteca, it can be made a lightweight easily and you don't need anywhere near that much.
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: cephalopod on April 25, 2014, 01:46:58 PM
Tomkiadan will get destroyed in battle - just look at the weight class it's in, and it's weight!
It's important to try and stick as closely as possible to weight limits - if you can remove just 50kg from it, it becomes a decent middleweight.

Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: cephalopod on April 25, 2014, 05:46:37 PM
Good job with building to the weight limit, but those wheels won't increase turning speed when there's nothing powering them. You may also want to try getting that small wedge a little less vertical, I imagine it'll have trouble getting under stuff.
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.

Great job on the flipper arm looks astounding.

Move the Ant batteries else where and fit in maybe a flatmotor.
Title: Re: EL CHICKENADOS SHOWCASE OF... ROBOTIC... robots.
Post by: cephalopod on April 25, 2014, 08:35:28 PM
Move the Ant batteries else where and fit in maybe a flatmotor.

Putting a pair of weaker motors in will probably hinder you just as much as axles - the slow front ones will only rotate at a certain speed... Honestly my way to improve the drive would be NPC's but that's a rebuild, hence I didn't mention.

He could move the motors to the middle. It should improve turning speed by then.

Post by: Naryar on April 27, 2014, 09:54:31 AM
alright, time for a explanation/rant.

Messy building is unnecessary in ALL styles because it's just a lot of components randomly put here. You can do something simple and yet cool at the same time yet no.

It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with IRL or DSL-S and the fact that I am a DSL-S builder.

Follow this SIMPLE logic. Messy building => lots of components for one purpose when one could use less components => weight wasted => design potentially not as good as what you could have done with a cleaner setup.

This logic can be applied everywhere in RA2.

ALL of the DSL building techniques, and most of the stock ones as well can be applied in both DSL-S and IRL, the only difference is in the BUILDING GOALS.

There. And shut up, Helloface, if you were actually trying to see what I am talking about you would wisely stop blaming people who have 10 times more experience and insight into RA2 than you.

Bots look good, but one piece of advice I could add is to add their own custom paint schemes. To do this just simply go to the paint shop in-game, export your robot's template, exit the game, open the custom textures file, and select the robot you want to edit using your favorite picture editing software (ex: Microsoft Paint)

my first attempt at a custom skin
(its actually a glitch but it looks coll so i kept it)
i was somehow able to get tit 5 on this
uses a judge burst motor which is "cheating"
but many tournaments except it so i am not to concerned
it is a rammer flipper hybrid because of the spikes doing quite a bit of damage
the wheel guards act as a roll cage to keep it off of its side
As long as it's IRL, Judge Bursts are allowed.

Looks fairly cool, I'd say it's just a flipper though. Also, always check with tournaments, some IRL tournaments might not allow Judge Bursts, but i'd say 90% do.
I like the arch over the wheels :)

oh judge bursts so many rules...
it is very good at flipping because of the judge burst and also the 45 degrees trick thing that is probably not real
but it does have pretty good speed allowing it to deal some serious damage if the opponent is stuck or immobilized
its really just to let me win by damage
it is still rare but it is good

Never mind aesthetics and combat effectiveness.  The biggest problem is clearly that it doesn't look like an alligator.  Give it clamping jaws and a tail, then we can talk details.

An extender framework (or beater bars, if you can get the weight) with rows of spikes would look better, and be better.  Also the tail should be on an axle so it swings around.

Post by: Naryar on May 14, 2014, 02:19:15 PM
this mazakari bot is so bad

alright, some advice on it :
-no unneeded extender work, remove all the pointless anglers
-as a HS it has literally no reach, so get some reach by using another weapon setup
-use smaller and lighter wheels on a LW
-it needs more weapon weight. And less extenders.
-try to build your bot so the weapons protect the front correctly.
-decrease chassis size.

Rosebud is equally as bad mostly because it's front is very exposed and has barely any weapons.

Also, post the insides of your bot. And generally, go see other showcases and the Tutorials section for advice and ideas. Or you can ask me by PM.

Sewer Sin won't work. You can't put a design like that AND wheelguards like that, it'll just end up flailing pointlessly on it's back.

Lenny the Lifter... is just bland and boring looking. Make it cooler, skin it, i'm sure there's some empty space in there as well.

What Nary said. I am very doubtful that Sewer Sin does anything other than flip itself onto it's back, but it does look cool.

Lenny the lifter really looks just no

make the flipper/lifter closer to the bot, and with that weight, you gotta be able to get a second lifter on there. as it stands, it can barely lift a MW.

that was not thr final version the final version had a spike on the back which kept it from tipping
also they are lifter motors not snapper motors it might be pointless ai d but i already entered it in a tournament
the design should work and in me driving it it has
it should work if it doesnt I WILL be surprised

if you want to see it work it is in the world cup tournament as snugglebot molossia edition

That would fit as DSL-S as far as I can see. Unrealistic means stuff can cut through other stuff - your dual perm doesn't need to be that far out for example as the bar and weapons are allowed to cut through the chassis and stuff in it.

Because that's unrealistic! Suddenly DSL-S doesn't seem so unrealistic does it? There's a reason before IRL came around DSL-S was classed under DSL Realistic Rules - Stock builds are unrealistic, but it's generally frowned upon doing that in DSL under most circumstances. This tournament is one of those other rare occasions.

because that's the stock standard for building - you could snapper load the motors onto a BSG or something, for example. Unrealistic building offers pretty much NO restrictions; you can stack and intersect to your hearts content. Your chassis could be tinyyy and you could have LOADS of weapons, a lot more than your bot has. Check out some of the stock showcases to see what I mean :3

no it doesn't, it just looks like crap. the wedge is so bad at that level that if you can't get under them with your chassis, you probably can't get under them at all. even if it might help the tiniest bit, how much it detracts from the aesthetics pretty much cancels out that usefulness, so i'd just get rid of it and make the chassis prettier.

anyway, does that bot even have weapons? it seems a bit... boring and weak

ty4er pretty much hit the nail right on the head with this one. Needs a better looking wedge it looks way too dsl-s, it's not even done properly, for a wedge to be really wedgy either place only one panel in the middle or use a small wedge, weapons looks weird too. and yea, supports

I suppose they used bfe to make a perfect chassis wedge and elimate the flat top.

Not gonna lie, flame skins on the chassis are nice 'n all but they mean nothing if the bot doesn't look good. The weapons on some of these bots look completely out of place and the supports look flimsy.
I'm guilty of churning out lots of bots too, but it's best to make a few high quality bots rather than loads of half-finished ones.

the lw will push other lws for hours
its running on npc motors

Yeah, Craaig is right. Mr. AS tried to do a similar thing by saying that his robots were similar because they were pushers but they looked nothing alike, so they were rejected. I wouldn't accept that team Chickenado... sorry.

I do think the other one would work good in a match with Supersnug but the criteria is that they have to more than vaguely resemble each other. Considering the new bot doesn't have spikes, I guessing this one just pushes now.

you know dsl bars only do damage with the edges and that any rammer worth it's salt pushing from behind will severely outweapon you ?

it can work as armor though.

Looks kinda cool overall. Not convinced about the wedge's quality though.

Chassis looks so big that it's kinda awkward. Wedges look dumb. Try BFEing the last flippermaker on each side to make it a little more complete. Oh, and try adding a slot on the skin for the disc. Not a bad attempt but it could use some fixes.

if i need to cheat the game to make a good rep im dissapointed
bfe and skinning are fine
You just completely contradicted yourself there champ. Good job.

Why don't you use that "skinning glitch" to skin it like this:
So that it looks more like the version of Voltronic you seem to be going for.

because it wasnt designed to be there
the more i try to explain why i dont like using glitches
the closer well get to why i dont like stock building
i need to stop before the stock diehard guys come to my house and use a rusty knife
to carve out my dsl gland
...
its a thing

also skinning voltronic would be good but my skinning components
is well bad

I don't think you realise but a lot of DSL/IRL/Replica builders make use of glitches...
And you never answered my question too, how is BFE not cheating while eFFe is?

I SAID  I WAS GONNA MAKE A RW REPLICA
IM SORRY JAYDEE!

I spent a while on it
It's ok, but the minimum weight limit for the tourney is 770 KGs.
Maybe a steel skirt would work. Its stronger, lighter, and slightly more accurate.
You also have som weight for more armor.
And is that the final skin? While ok, the back and sides painted black would make it look more like the S5 Voltronic.
And is that a DSL3 axle extender? Nice touch, although the tourney is DSL2.1.
I guess you could include as a custom component.

BFE is full blown cheating. eFFe is just using what's given to you - like using a get out of jail card in Monopoly rather than waiting to roll dubs or paying the fine. As opposed to stealing all the money and properties because you can.

obviously bfe needs  to be monitored not all uses are okay
bfe is like house rules
where effe is like keeping all the money you earn and then spending it all in the last couple turns

yeah and no use of effe is okay right (http://otbva.com/forum/images/smilies2/th_jt.png)

i find it mind blowing that someone actually finds bot file editing more acceptable than the effe glitch. it's just like what craig said. the effe glitch is used by good stock builders and good dsl builders and i wouldn't be surprised if sonny resetti has used it when making his replicas. why limit yourself from using tools such as effe to make better replicas? who gives a s*** if you "don't like it"?

i do
i dont honestly care about this conversation anymore
though obviously you cant understand my motives
i get that it helps make better replicas but i dont like building for stock tournaments because of heavy use of glitches
i dont want to have to find ways around the game
i want to make something without using glitches
i rarely use bfe too
i like making something in the way the developers intended
i dont hate on people who do use effe and bfe because it is usually used for good intentions
such as an accurate replica
i just dont like using glitches
who gives a s*** if you "don't like it"?
/end flame war

This tells me you just aren't willing to listen to us and keep yourself in the dark by not learning actually ways to make you better at the game. I'd hardly call this a flame war as well as we're trying to help you to get better which you refuse to do because you're apparently crazy lazy. Also what makes you think the developers used BFE to make bots? Oh and you "don't want to find ways around the game" but are totally cool with using BFE, yeah right...

It's not about that. It's that we're trying to get you to learn glitches so you can become a better builder. I don't really know why you're building if you're not trying to make things people like or get better. Just seems you're building aimlessly honestly.

Just listen to the Vet's they know what they're talking about. You can't build a half decent replica without utilizing at least 2 glitches in the game.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Still don't think you can do it because you would know it's easier to do that then to go and use BFE.
