Hey er'body.
I'm gonna post some of my most recent bots from DSL, feel free to comment and suggest any improvements and the like.
First up, as I mentioned it earlier, (and it looks pretty :3) XD :
J MC - GREGORY
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96995JMCGREGORY.jpg)
Oh did I forget to mention...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93618IT HAS AN ARSE.jpg)
This is one of of the two bots I may be entering into my tourney if it gets to sign-ups.
Next, is the other one..
HURRMENURRRR
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58014HURRMENURRRR.jpg)
A Firestorm inspired backwards flipper, (hence the flames) Is most probably what I will be entering...Still not sure but it's not even near sign-ups yet so meh.
*For some reason, my editing program doesn't like red writing very much, so it smudges here, (Being partially Red-Green colourblind, I don't really either XD)
Hope you guys enjoy/can give some constructive (if that's the correct word to use) criticism. :thumbup

Less empty space, please.
Otherwise, good component use. Apart from maybe the spike strips on that popup, although spike strips are usable I guess.
-
The general rule with Ant Batteries is one ant per spin motor. With Burst Motors on the other hand, you should really be using the amount instructed.
-
ONE TO TWO ANTS PER SPIN MOTOR!!!! GAHHH!!!!
The amount of batteries are fine, but you could sacrifice some ants for athstetics and for some motor protection on the first.
-
Okay, I took in some of the advice given, and I have tried to use some of the ideas to make this:
Black Tips
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37523Black tips.jpg)
*Note that the spikes don't cut through the perm even though they look like they do, I checked and there is a slight gap in between.
Hope you guys like,
Two more bots coming soon.
-
you could put the perm on a multiextender so that you could get a larger disc (as in one of those black 100cm discs, my favorite type of tose is the hallowed version.), and thus you could get more weaponry.
it should also be noted that NPC motors have weird collision meshes when it comes to putting them inside the chassis, as you can have them sticking halfway outside of the back. the only part that really collides with the chassis is around the axles.
-
What's with the crappy weapon setup ? Use weapons with more reach else other weapons will hit your drum component first and therefore risk ripping it off before the teeth go out.
also make it less tall and invertible, it's a sitting duck if inverted at the moment.
-
Not Gregory, it's not Scottish enough. Use either Gregor as a forename, or McGregor as a surname.
Also, tons of overkill on the ants. 1 ant per spin motor, bro.

Lol, I'm a Scot. It's an abbreviation of my name XD

and invertible plis

You fixed nothing about this bot. If you aren't gonna take this thread seriously it's not worth posting in it.
It is not wise to test my patience either. I'm helping you and you spit on my advice ? What the hell ?

I'm pretty sure he does not understand English well.

He said this in his showcase:
hi
I'm from Argentina I speak Spanish and do not understand your question
Not to rip on him for that, but I digress.
As for the bot... do you know how to make a chassis minimum height? All you need to do is click the very bottom pixel of the height slider when adjusting your chassis height/shape of the top of the chassis. A Perm-80 can fit in a minimum height chassis given that the chassis has the right horizontal dimensions to fit the perm. That way, the spinner can be invertible without using large wheels.
Of course, you don't have to put the perm inside of the chassis, and given the length of the EL perms, it wouldn't really be in your best interest. Just mount it on a multi-extender (the small red and black ones) The right and left NPC-T64's, as previously stated, have strange collision meshes (the surface of the space that the game considers as "solid") that allow them to poke out of the back of the chassis while still being mounted on the baseplate. Kinda like this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86199Slammerfist 3.png)
(An older build of my MW hammer Slammerfist.)
Notice how the NPCs are sticking out of the back of the chassis. This can't be done in DSL3 (CURSES!), but it is one of the most useful quirks of DSL2 and is often used in standard DSL building.
Do this alongside everything else we have suggested (except Davidyamy) and you shall go far.
-
Thanks for all of the help guys, glad some of you are actually taking this seriously. I will try to modify all the bots posted and should be posting the tomorrow but it's really late here in the UK (Well I guess you could say early as it's past midnight) and so I will have to sleep.
-
Okay, after some planning and a total overhaul and rebuild, (even shortened the chassis a tad)
I present to you,
Black Tips 2.0 (I forgot to change the name but oh well)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8744BlackTips2.jpg)
In my opinion, this is way better than the previous one and I am glad you guys helped me to make this.
*It actually runs both ways up and doesn't spin around on the blade if I leave it!
Also: here are some other angles of it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62540Blacktipsmore.jpg)
If you are wondering why the panic skirt is on the back, it helps stabilise it as it is quite front heavy and also protects the slightly exposed NPCs.
Hope you guys like, and feel free to comment any more improvements etc.

You still have around 8kg. Add an extra ant.

I actually did that after posting this, didn't realise at the time XD

Not too bad, skin sucks though.

Yeah, I didn't really skin it properly, I just added some colours together XD

Another edition to the Elementos collection of bots;
The Iceman
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4109The Iceman SC.jpg)
This is my entry for my tournament that I am hosting at the moment. It is a better version of J MC - GREGORY, with a better skin also.
Any opinions?
-
extremely fragile, one extender holding something like that would snap instantly irl, remember that a spinner has to deal with the forces it exerts.
-
Less empty space.
It makes your bot less of a big target and gives you more weight.
Also shorten that one extender as well.
Your motor armor is messy, besides that motor is very fragile.
-
Another bot for yall;
OTK.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93937OTK.jpg)
Tit 3 Armour. This is probably my best LW I've ever made, (although I don't make many). This is intended to be an undercutter, thus the blade is quite low. I'm thinking of entering this into Sword of Glory, as I think it could do well. Alas, I have probably been silly and done something stupid, feel free to comment suggestions etc. :thumbup
EDIT: I have another bot coming soon...
-
And another one;
2MG/C^2
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/996092MGoverCSquared.jpg)
Not much to say really...Enjoy?
-
1st one needs more drive and better wheels, use an me rather than a bp anchor, there might be a better weapon choice than that as well but I'm not sure.
2nd one needs much less empty space, get rid of the dsl bars on the wedges, use multi extenders always rather than bp anchors, use vlad wheels, upgrade the weapon motor.
-
One more bot probably coming tonight, if not, then tomorrow.
-
So I never got around to posting that bot^.
I was going to showcase a bot called Riptile, but I never got round to it. I feel as if I have improved a lot since I built it, so I found the botfile in my robot designs and decided to revamp it.
I give you: Cerato. :3
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79930Cerato.jpg)
Enjoy YGO fans.
-
I like it, but it looks a little odd when the flipper is fired.
Also the back of the skin kinda makes it look like it has genitalia.
-
Oh god you just ruined my view of my bot. XD
Thanks, it's supposed to look ferocious but it just looks like its smiling :3
-
...
It's time.
*Ahem*
I'm going to start my return post with a formal apology to anyone who was interested in my last tournament planned, a lot of things got in the way hence it being (a year?) since I have been on GTM.
Basically, I started my first year of sixth form, and just before then, I met a wonderful girl who I have been seeing for almost a year and a half now and I took the decision to take time away from my hobbies to focus on her and my education. (I've always been kind of a nerd :P)
Not only that but I've been having real issues with mental and physical health over the last year and I didn't really know when I would be ready to come back and (most probably) face the hate of me not finishing a tournament, as I had said I wouldn't do that in the past.
I really wanted to get back into RA2 recently and the urge had just become too strong to resist as I have a better computer now that can run it smoothly and record videos without issues and frame rate lag.
So, I guess this post is just to say...
I'm Back!
Obviously I wont be as active as I was before due to education etc (final A level exams and mocks are inbound) but dammit I'm back and it feels good to be posting again.
But anyway - The reason I'm posting on this thread (And I didn't really know where else it put it tbh) is that I'm going to start getting into the flow of producing bots and showcasing them, as well as participating in some tournaments along the way. I'm really not interested in running any of my own (well at least for the moment) as I know I don't have the time for it and I don't want to hassle people with my delays.
Obviously, I'm going to be rusty at the whole RA2 thing and I will take all advise in and try to learn from it. Bots will be coming soon lads, so be expecting some piles of junk soon ;) Downloading all my tools again right now :D
EDIT: I only just realised I had left my post count on 666 for the longest time, wow, I really am the devil here XD
-
Howdy! I recognize your name, but it looks like you left just as I was starting to be more active. Welcome back, though. (The ride never ends.)
-
Hey there
-
Thanks for the warm welcome ;)
Anyway, as promised, here is my latest bot, a Realistic MW HS;
FURY CUTTER
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63476Fury Cutter.jpg)
(I'm going to make a team all using pokémon moves for names, next up is AcuPressure.)
Thoughts? Improvements? Lemmino.
-
Nice to see ya back man. And that's not too bad for a returning bot. Skin's a little dull though. Think you can tidy that up a bit?
-
Thanks, It's good to be back.
Yeah, As I said the skins sucks XD
I'll probably make it Kricketune themed or something.
-
Was going to skin that but DSL 2.2 happened so lolnope
Anyway, new bot!
I call it MPBD - (If anyone can figure out what that stands for you get a cookie.)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/5234MPBD.jpg)
And here are the insides;
