Kaiza
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76834BW - Kaiza.bmp)
Name: Kaiza
Armour: 3MM Aluminium
Weapon: Two spike strips and Custom Blade
Kaiza 2
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2785BW - Kaiza 2.bmp)
Name: Kaiza 2
Armour: Titanium 3mm (Yay, big improvement)
Weapons: Two Razor Tips and Custom Blade
Improvements: Tougher Wheels, Better Decals, Better Armour, Slightly Lighter
Kaiza 3?
Well, i'm not sure sbout it. I've replaced the blade, and I wanna know if you guys think that this is a good idea. Rgiht now, Kiaza 3 has same stats as Kaiza 2, but with less battery and a more destructive spinner.

NOOES the showcase is for all your bots not just one series of bots!!

K, soz bout that. I will have more robots other than Kaiza uploaded as I make them.

Don't worry about Stag. This thread can be renamed.
My opinion on Kaiza 2 is... it's alright.
General stuff... 1 ant per motor (unless there's bursts)
Aluminium is terrible so Titanium is a defo improvement.
Use a DSL disc instead of those anglers on the motor - much more HP.
Lastly, Multi-Extenders (red and black) do the same stuff as base anchors, but weigh 2 kg less.

NOTE: I am an AW/BW/LW Sorta guy. Expect loads of them.

i think that bot would be better invertable

Don't listen to Stagfish, FOTEPX. He's a noob and generally gives bad advice so watch out.
Anyway, Kaiza shows some potential dude.
However:
1) those razor tips aren't gonna do much.
2) Angle extenders are a horrible waste of weight. If I were you, I'd use a small DSL Disk and put some more spikes on it.
3) It would be really nice to have that invertible. Rebuild the chassis, it's a bit large.
4) 3 ant batteries for this > 1 battlepack.
Don't think I'm whacking you here, I'm trying to help you.
I made a BW FS a while back, you can look at it to get some ideas if you want.

Like that?
-
Pointy tips have normals, meaning the weapon only does damage on the tip. use Razor tips or small DS teeth
-
'Tis better. But you do need 3 ants, and pointy tips are far from being the top choice on spinners because they only do damage with the tip.
-
razors are better than hardened
also what about invertable?

Shinies aren't the best wheels in DSL but given the weight allowance, I think they're a good choice.
To make any more observations, I'd need to see the insides, sorry :P

Might want to get these razor tips closer to your spinner so they protect more and have more chances to hit your opponent.

Here is the Near Final version of Kaiza, Version 4.5, with the electrics showing.

Make the chassis shorter & flatter, use 3 ant batts, and either boost the drive or get a tougher weapon.

I think you can have 3 ant batts if you reduce the chassis's size enough.

The way of the top builder (like Reier and I are following though the kid is too lazy and doesn't builds a lot these days) is the way to perfect yourself.

I actually CANNOT make it smaller. The body is custom made by me, and I cannot shrink it enough to make a difference without losing it's awesome shape.

Armor: Titanium 5
Weapons: Two Iron Spikes and a lethal spinning disc

2 irons spikes isn't enough, and 5mm tite is too much.
EDIT: Oops didn't see the pic.

And take off those piglets before Naryar eats you. Use astroflight or slimbody drive.

Piglets for drive = :FFFUUU

Reier, there are six...
Also, piglets for drive make Naryar cry. I suggest changing them unless you want to se him RAGE at you.
Oh, and there is no such thing as a "final" version. Ever.
EDIT: Too late.

Actually, there is 4 Iron Spikes, it is just the way the camera is turned.
Also, 5mm tite? Wut

A discovery by Click found out that, for full power, motors only need 1 ant to run. So yeah, you're running 3 motors on the battlepack, but you could run then on full power with 3 ants. At least that's how I understand it. There's a topic on it somewhere (About electotal and stuff like that.)

They do have 3 times the total power of 1 battlepack. Don't your batteries deplete fast with just 1 battlepack ?

If you have an afternoon or an evening to burn, I suggest watching the previous tourneys. You can see the designs that have had sucess in the past, and you also get a little bit of a crash-course on some RA2 history.
As for the batteries, Clickbeetle found out that amps aren't the most important factor in how the batteries preform. Basically, long in short, ant batteries are infinitely better than anything else in DSL.

also, read the BBEANS competitors and robot designs pages on the wiki.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/40678Kaiza 9.bmp)
Name: Kaiza 9
Weight: 174.9 (Wow, so close...)
Batteries: 3 Antweight Batteries
Armour: Aluminium 3 (Something had to go, and it was unfortunately the armour)
Drive: 2 Vlad Wheels attached to 2 Copal Gearmotors
Weapons: Destructive spinning disc.
Advantages: Beetleweight again, Stronger wheels (So no need for defensive spikes) and good batteries
-

For Kaiza 8, Steel 3
For Kaiza 9, Alumininum 3

True... like most newcomers that actually listen to advice we give...
Steel and Aluminium aren't very good though (excepted for Steel 5). Prefer Plastic or Titanium, they have more HP/kg.
(I am only talking about the chassis armor. Steel and Alu extenders and skirts are good enough)

It's unrealistic, You should move that 1 ant battery, which is in the middle of the robot...

PIGLETS ARE NOT FOR DRIVE :FFFUUU

Use the Modify button once in a while, no need for quad posts!
Yes, remove the ant battery above the burst motors and move it somewhere where the bars wont go trough it when they are fired.
SHOW ROBOTS WEIGHT
Use Copals or Slimbodies instead of Piglets.

Or Astroflights.<3

Please use the edit button, or just post less. The post saying "OK" was unnecessary, you could have simply posted the updated bot later on and all would have been well.

For the first bot, nice name. :P
Anyway, it's much better to have a strong 2WD than a weak 4WD since the 2WD is faster, lighter, and uses less batteries.
Can't say much about the second bot, though showing the insides of both bots would help.

With two wheels, CyClone is impossible to control.
I planned the for the 2ND Bot to actually look good, rather than actually be good :p
But that doesn't mean that the spinner does nothing. It does move. And fast.

CyClone's hard to control because of that drive. Try 2WD NPCFs with Hypnos and you can easily control it. If you still want to stick to 4WD, Mag drive with Hypnos would work as well.
For LandShark, errr.... one thing I know for sure is that you're inefficient with side protection. :P

My DSL has a limit of how low the chassis can go. The chassis on there is ON the limit.
If there's some awesome glitch which let you go past this limit, tell me.

BFE or bouncing will do it
set the lowest size, then quickly pull down the scroller or flick it and it will get a bit lower
-
I've managed to shave 8KG off of the weight of Acornia 2 (Small Puma Version), keep the same power, and now Havok.
The magic of Medium CO2 tanks...
And with the spare weight, I added Polycarboate Extenders to the end of the Titanium extenders, so now it's a lot more stable, and now it's much faster, and it doesn't dip when the spikes are inactive.

Do you guys think that their is a better use for 8kg, other than polycarboate extenders used as stabizers?

Increase in armor, or a skirt hinge wedge.

To get to the lowest possible legit chassis height, all you have to do is "click" as far down as you could, rather than "drag".

Just click one pixel lower than the lower end of the height selection ruler.

Angling the razors in both directions actually make it more effective. It increases the area of attack vertically. Like this:

What are the wheels and armor?
It says armour, and I use Micros because Hypno's don't fit. I'm making Hypno's fit ATM.
Yes. They fit. Reduced the DSL Bar height so it's in the weight limit.

Now I have proof that this thing is destructive.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3885screenshot_44.png)
-
Of course is destructive. It is a shell spinner with flails and razors. Nothing new there :/
-
WreckTangle isn't a good destructiveness test because it can't fight back or anything. Try that against a bot of a similar class, like Grog, or a bot that would be good against that design, like UnDeadBeat.
It doesn't look like a bad bot at all, just kinda bland. I don't think it would do that badly in actual combat.

Ok. I know it's bland, but that's because It's the most effective. I could always have Mad Cow Disease, or redeign Osprey....

For anyone wondering, the armour is Titanium 3, and it has the same amount of spikes as Nitrite.

You should angle the weapons to make a V shape. Does more damage that way.
-
Not really. It actually reduces damage. However, it's really good at stopping most horizontal motors.
A single tank wold do just fine, so you can spend the weight on more weapons and a wedge or two. :D

The extender work's really too heavy for my taste

K. I'll change it when i get home. Maybe add 2 more razors, or add a wedge, but...
Wedges which are upside down = :fail:

Here's the new Capacity Breaker.

All same apart from bit of the chassis cut off, only 1 large air tank, skirt hinge wedge and typhoon spikes to protect the steel extenders.

i don't know if this will help but extender off center = bad (in my case), AND i like bots to be balanced to decrease the chance of being flipped at a particular side. i personally would try and put in another piston to balance it out, but i'm not you so i don't know what you look for in a good bot. plus could we see the insides?
-
Why have you got steel extenders? Just use Aluminium or Polycarbonate.

Don't need balancing.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65933screenshot_54.png)
Followed G.K's advice (ONLY GOT A FEW ALU'S THOUGH), and with the spare weight, i changed the Thphoons to Small DSL's and added a much bigger skirt (angled 120 instead of 80)
And yes, there are 3 ants. Do you think I should add a battlepack?
-
I still see steel extenders. And if you're going to add more batteries, just add one more ant.

Why shouldn't I still have steel extenders on the bot?

They waste a huge amount of weight that could be used for weapons or armour.

Ok, what should I use that would give the same amount of protection?

If it gets to the stage where the extenders are being hit you're screwed anyway. Just use alu/poly extenders and ad more weapons.

Add more weaponry and downgrade the armor.

I am quite confident this can be made a MW !

Instead of that 8 KG setup to put the JXs on, just use MEs and save 5 KGs on each side.

Those wedges aren't good, if you are outwedged you weapons are useless.

nicely done, looks cool
try maybe Tite 5, door hinge wedges and rotate the DSL bars 90 degrees as I have the feeling they have normals ? cant remember (nary will probally rage at me for this... its 1am over here :P)

Coincidence, or has FOTEPX watched The Holy Grail?

Probably, Badnik, that's what I thought at first. XD
Regarding the side armor, it sounds to me like you're not rotating them enough. I would attach the last flipper segment using the opposite end-AP, then rotate and attach the skirts. You should be able to get it invertible as well as realistic that way. If it still goes through the wheels, then axle load the motors and attach the skirts.

umm that's only half of a UHW, kinda like Somebody's EFIE2.

Yeah, but I honestly have NO idea how to upgrade it, thus making me want make it SHW.
-
Done! With a few batteries removed, no wasted weight, 2 metal hinge wedges intead of an overkill of 5, poly instead of steel and Plastic 3 armour, Line Of Fire is finally a SHW. Also, a look inside. Turns out Fail Batteries aren't that much of a fail in NAR AI.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13312screenshot_138.png)
Ya see, SHW. Be scared. Also, the On screen keyboard thing is there because some of the buttons on my computer don't work, like the numbers five and six, and the arrow keys. DAMN ME SPILLING 7UP ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD :FFFUUU
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96192screenshot_139.png)
This is why i couldn't be arsed counting the batteries. There's like, 20 or somethin'.
-
Batteries is an exact science. Any serious builder knows exactly how many batteries there were, usually because they did the math to find out how much amp they needed.
Other than that, cool flipper. Poly skirts seem really weak for SHW tho.

Might replae it with 100% ants and then replace the poly's with alu's. Until then, i'm limited to my laptop, which has none of my awesome bots.
-
Actually, that's the same problem that plagued your Invertigo. It should at least have tite sheets for the flippers, but steel flippers are the recommended ones. Don't spam it with ants. That's a waste of weight. Calculate it carefully and use the right amount of Odyssey batts for that. You'll surely have lost of weight left over.
-
Ok, does anybody know the required amps for 4 spring loaded betas and 2 e-teks? Cause I have no clue.
-
12 PC625s and 2 ants, I think.
-

Thank you. I'll edit the battery ammount tommorow.
-
You can alter the chassis and mount those Etek-drive externally, which can save you a lot of weights.
-
12 PC545 are more than enough
-
12 PC545 are more than enough
210*4 + 20 = 860 amp
while 840/1.6 + 20 = 545, you need 860 for burst to have full power. Field test suggest the difference is significant.
I prefer using redpack over PC545. While 30 red pack + 2 ants weights 30kg more than 14 PC545 + 2 ants, the space it takes to fit 4 redpack is = 1 PC545, which is quite a lot of space saved.
-
O wait i did it wrong, i meant PC625
-
O wait i did it wrong, i meant PC625
Improved it to 10 PC625's, 4 Battlepacks and 2 ants. Also, upgraded the armour to Titanium 3 with the spare weight.
-
oop, just remembered one of the origonal complaints, that the wedges weren't strong enough. Upgrade to Alu for the Metal Hinges, and Steel for the flipper.
EDIT: ARRRGH WITH STEEL IT BACKFLIPS ITSELF :FFFUUU
-
Phew... Finally fixed that. Made it all titanium and upgraded the armour to Plastic five. I think this robot is done with.
-
Edit button?
You could keep the steel flippers and have some wedges on the back for ant-flip purposes, see HazCon if you're unsure of what I mean.

I did that to some extent on Invertigo. Besides, Titaniums are OK with me.

What's the chassis armor?
You can also use something lighter than DSL bars for the extenders, and I don't think the spikes in the center of the disks are doing much.
...and metal hinge wedges.
-
Chassis Armour is Plastic 3.
-

I use them specially. I've allready tried with Titanium Extenders, and if one of them goes, it's all over, so DSL bars are best.

I've improved it now. Metal Hinge wedges now, Titanium 3, and improved wheel guards. All I did was remove the middle spike.

You can still make the chassis smaller, and you won't need to use flipper segments if you do it like this: ME -> panel -> another panel -> weapons at the front part and the drive attached to the rear APs.

For pushers, one wedge tends to work better than 2.

VERY unsure about a good weapon setup. Any ideas?
1 ant
Plastic 1.
-
1 ANT :O
That's pushing it too hard. I tend to use 3 ants on these designs, but at least get another ant in there even if it's still underpowered. I still have to find a better weapon setup with less weight, but batt power is your priority right now. :D
-
No, i meant 2 ants. Anyway...
Here's V4!

I actually beat Marvin, Black Storm and Caesium in a battle royale. If I made Diamond Cutter a SHW, it would be unstoppable.
-
Just wait for MArvin 2. We can test them both when NAR v4 comes out.
-
Do not, I repeat do not use Irons on flails. They simply are not as effective as razors or other High DP weapons and will fall to them.
-
In that case, I should upgrade Reaper as well.

Marvin is a fail. And we don't know if the other bots all took out each other and your bot finished them off.

None of your ghey flails will beat black storm !
At least i don't think so :P

pretty much this, they're also lighter and allow for more armor. I do recall doing a random match between Caesium and Steel Meatball with SM winning pretty easily, though.
fight it against Steel Meatball and Evil Princess. EP might lose though and I just want to see it in a battleshot for once :rage

I think the use of angled panels might be the reason for Diamond Cutter's success possibly because they provide undercutting action.

Possibly, since hammers don't do well against high-DP weapons on flails. Speaking of which the newer Crosswind is on the exchange because I couldn't wait for v2.4 to be released.

Here's Diamond Cutter 3. Takes as long as a SHW to load, but BLOODY HELL IS IT STRONG.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42519screenshot_205.png)
Armour is Plastic 3.
-
Lol @ harpoon blade. 400 DP worth of pierce, and the ability to reach enemy side panel. Now that's gonna win against most shell spinners.
-
Lol @ harpoon blade. Now that's gonna win against most shell spinners.
I know, that's why I used them. I had to sacrifice a LOT to get that many Harpoons. I could cover the whole thing in harpoons and better armour if i didnt want to use flails, but I DO.
-
I tend to avoid harpoon blade on HW SnS and up as they don't provide enough sweeping power against wedges. In particular against Monochrome and HNM4.
So any luck again Crosswind and RPP?

Bullet Train was made to destroy shell spinners.

Same, but I don't see why Gate Guardian can't take out Bullet Train.

In this case, Gate Guardian can take out Bullet Train. But if you're more efficient in the attachments (SD's rammer, for example), you CAN rape Bullet Train. It's a rock-paper-scissors thing.
-
Yep. Anyways, Here's Diamond Cutter 4.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98367screenshot_209.png)
Yes, you do need a new pair of pants.
-
OK...
Try it against Red Dragon. (Gutripping VS FTW)
-
I would just use a skirt on top instead of a bunch of carbon fiber extenders, unless skirts don't allow it self-right.
Now, can THAT version beat Crosswind?
-
This version looks noticeably worst than the last one, since it now has almost no chance against a good wedge like Monochrome.
Now, can THAT version beat Crosswind?
My prediction is that DC4 will WBP, since without axles every impact will knock both of them pretty far apart. With Crosswind not moving toward DC4, DC4 can keep a point lead in 3 minutes time.

The other version could as well, but yes, this can beat Crosswind. I'll try my best with the skirt hinge thing, but i chose carbon fiber's cause they weigh the least. I'm wuite strapped for weight, ya see.

Nice Bot...

Nice Bot...
Thanks, now has anyone got any useful comments?
-
hard to see form this angle but looks like it could be unrealistic
I cant remember the Perm to Backlash Disc size...
but try angle skirts for your stability problem
-
It isn't unrealistic, and I only need to sort out the disc to sort out the stability.
-
can I see a pic of the robots right side ? it looks like the Backlash disc cuts through the Perm axle but as I said I cant remember the Perm to Backlash Disc size.
-
Here ya go.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7069screenshot_217.png)
-
it seems the odd attachment point on the Backlash disc allows it to be realistic on the perm
I only asked as if you out something like a DSL disc of the same size on that perm it would cut into the perm
I still recommend those angled skirts,
-
Epic Seizure or something seems like quite a destructive machine. Though it could prove a little slow moving.
-
I fixed the stability issue by raising the Perm by 10cm. Now the testing begins.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57986screenshot_222.png)
-
switch the weapon for a dsl bar with large beaters
-
Will that be more effective?
-
Yeah, but i'm not sure if the weight limit will allow it.
-
I'll check.
Yep, It's allowed.
Twice.
Thank you stag. :)

WOW, it's just been made even better. Same ants and armour.

-
Nothing?
-
FOTEPX, You'll have to wait. 15 minutes isn't enough.
-
Is a lot to me.
-
Those polycarbs look like HS food. I'd drop the motors to astros and use the weight to get aluminum sheets. I'd also question the realisticness of the spinner. It looks like one side passes through the perm and perm belt.
Edit: I just built your weapon system. The DSL bar and Beater Bar clearly interersect the Perm axel and belt. Also you could attach the Perm like I did with a longer multi extender.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/32802asd.png)
-
I used a EL, not a L. And besides, number 2 has Alu's.
-
Try not to be so generic when building bots, try stuff no one else has thought of yet. Look at some of Clickbeetles and MikeNCR's work for inspiration.
People will like your bots more if they haven't seen them before, just my opinion though :)
-
Well, i need an idea that hasn't been done before to do that. Anyone got any ideas?
-
just think Pop-ups were new once, so were flail weapons and jugglers. when someone comes up with a new idea a lot of people are like "oh man why didn't i think of that?" well it's because they follow old trends :)
you just need to play around with different weapon/armor setups in different positions on your bots.

Alu 1
3 ants
-
NPCs are too much for that. Go with Mags and upgrade your stabilizers. Never sacrifice too much HP for power unless you are sure bots rarely touch them (jugglers and shell can easily rip them off).
-
So, A TWM3R for the spinner and improve the wedges? Got it.
-
The Perm's fine. I meant Mags for the drive.
-
Try mounting your motors like this. (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24916ff.png) Putting your drives closer to the chassis will increase stability and allow you to turn and face the other bot quicker.
Also you might want to try using a longer ME to attach the perm. It will be invincible and might save weight.
-
I dunno what to blow the last 10 kg's on. Don't say add NPC fasts, as they make it fly into the air when it turns. Same armour and ants.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77430screenshot_250.png)
-
How does it do in testing?
Looks good though :)
Wouldnt Mag drive + Hypnos be roughly the equivalent of, and lighter than, NPC's + DSL wheels? (Waits for Pwn to knock that statement dry:P)
-
DSL's have only 0.1 less grip than Hypno's, so no.
-
What will happen if you get outwedged though? If you get outwedged your weapon wont hit the opponent but if you have no wedges it will.
Same thing applies to most gut-rippers. Which is why it's always a risk to take when a wedge is attached (especially in rammers).
And the bot looks much better now. :D
-
Thanks. I'll test it now.
-
Wouldnt Mag drive + Hypnos be roughly the equivalent of, and lighter than, NPC's + DSL wheels? (Waits for Pwn to knock that statement dry:P)
Mags + Hypnos is somewhat equivalent to NPCs + Large ants, so NPCs + DSL1s is faster.
-
Ahhhh, right XD Thanks pwn :P
-
Yep, testing's done. Good against everything apart from popups and that's because the wedges SUCK. Should I remove em, or improve em?
Had good fun taking Blood Runner apart.
-
You could try downgrading to Vlads (and at the same time raising your drive a notch) and use a 120cm wedge. I've never had much success with 80cm wedges, rectangular or angled.
-
I allready am using 120's, silly. :laughing
-
I could've sworn 120cms were longer. Oh well. XD
-
Here's A Noticeable Taste Of Blood.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95158screenshot_6.png)
Plastic 1.
-
Is it realistic?
-
BARELY, but yes.
Also, because of 4 ants I HAD to use a Micro board. I had no choice.
-
Neat. I would downgrade to Astro's and put on a metal hinge wedge.
-
That could be one of the worst things to do, IMO. Considering that there is a large amount of good LW popups and wedges, A ramp would just stop damage when lifted. I dunno, man. I don't like the sound of it.
-
I'd keep it as it is. Nice plastic texture too :P. And not everything needs a wedge to be effective. I would be worried in a rumble though. But its not going to be put into any of those is it? :P
-
Why would it be crap in a rumble? What could make it better in rumbles?
Also, my Plastic texture is win.
-
I'm thinking of replacing the Drums with Hex Plates so I can make the realism a lot more obvious, and use Large Beater Bars.
-
I'm thinking of replacing the Drums with Hex Plates so I can make the realism a lot more obvious, and use Large Beater Bars.
Good Idea IMO
-
Thanks for your support. I need one more person to give it the go ahead before i'm swayed, though.
-
Do the drums just scrape along the ground?
-
Yeah, but one's turning right and one's turning left, so the turning's not effected.
-
Maybe use small beater bars, that'd get you realisticness and some extra weight for better front spikes or weapon motors or whatever you want to use it for.
-
Naa, I'm happy with meds.
-
I like it. Plastic 1's a huge gamble on a non-wedge, though. Try converting to shinies and see if you can get Tite 1 in there. If not, never mind. XD
-
I'll see what I can do.
Woot! By using mini's, i've done it.
-
Is it still relatively driveable with minis? With small wheels like these, it might be more unstable than Minesweeper.
Speaking of which... (klone time)
-

Yep, it just havoks ALL THE TIME. But I think the slimbodies do that. Anyways, here's V2...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68005screenshot_10.png)
-
I just had an idea to help it turn! Wire the drums to turn normally when going forward or backwards. Give it Pusher.py, and when it turns, wire it to have just one drum spin to help it turn faster. :D
-
Or you can have both drum spin at the same direction as you turn. Just wire the piglets with the drive commands.
-
The dives fine, it just havoks lots. Anyways, new bot time!

Nice, it will go pretty far

OH NOM NOM NOM

Anyone got any helpful advice?

Ermm, perhaps, get rid of the razor, at the very end of the bar, replace with typhoons and then, the first razors on the bar, replace with irons?

yeah get rid of the razors at the back and get some defense for the big exposed middle bit otherwise rammers will eat it up :)

K.

I love using Skirt Hinges for unusual reasons...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22983screenshot_14.png)

use the side attachment point for the beater bars to connect the to the side of the poly extenders, also you probably don't need 2 of the razor tips.. i suggest getting rid of the 2 at the back and making the middle one flail down to help against get-rippers and pop-ups.
-
Could you show me what you mean by flail down?

just connect it to a 90 degree axle that's pointed down :)

We'll have to see if I do it right or not.

LW and MW versions now, both with Plastic 3 and 3 ants.

Get rid of an ant on the first one and get vlads at least.

Done. Had to downgrade to Steel 1 for the Vlads though.

Prepare to be eaten by Naryar.

At least there are no piglets or ballasts on the bot. XD

Where is the flails, normals, steel 10, omni extenders?
-
It has Steel 10, silly. I'll add the Omni's later, and Flails are too pro.
-
Added a Ripping Tooth, a Prehistoric axe and a vlad spike, all on Omni Extenders.
-
And flails. May need to do some stacking to infuriate him some more. If i recall, doesn't nar hate the WBC wheels?
-
Thinking of making it LW and entering it in CCIV
Hate to be the bringer of bad news, but the LW's chassis isn't a cube.
And I find it amusing how people are building bots for CC4 and no one even knows what the arena and format is going to be yet. I'll laugh at all the people with flippers if it's in a non-OOTA arena.
Also, you should replace the iron spike on Speedy Anger with another razor (so they are all the same length) and upgrade the armor. And why are the razors set up asymmetrically?
-

I imagine there will be some possibility for OOTA's, but if there isn't, my entry will eat the flippers. =D
By the way, on Speedy Anger, why does the right-hand disc have a razor in the middle and not on the top?
-
No need to worry for me. I'm entering an SnS, end of story.

Drum/VS Hybrid Incoming!

Here it is!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30048screenshot_32.png)
3 ants and Plastic 1.
-
Any comments?
-
Thats just a VS. Using Drums. Crappy wheel choice BTW.
-
Can anybody improve my CCIV entry? Anybody? No?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45481screenshot_34.png)
-
Use metal hinges.
-
With metal hinges, I couldn't get the Side Panel and Axe Head protection at the front.
-
Anything else?
-
Hmmm.. FOTEPX is spamming his own showcase. :P
Drop the dual wedge setup and go to single metal hindge wedge. You should have the weight. If I remember weights correctly you should then have 11 kgs to play around with.
-
metal hinge wedge for sure.. your rear currently has a better wedge then the front
-
How will I be able to keep the Side Panel and Axe Head protection that way?
-
But it needs a good wedge. Remove axe head and shell plate. Put on a plow. Remove the skirt hinge wedge and use metal hinges. If need be, don't use the small wedges.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33323screenshot_35.png)
Before you get complaining, THE BACK WEDGE STOPS THE ROBOT FLIPPING ITSELF OVER. IT CANNOT BE REMOVED.
3 ants
Tite 1

O-O That looks just like the hammer bot I made last week!
-
Flip the plow over so it can trap bots more easily.

Can it self-right.

Can it self-right.
It takes 2 or 3 goes, but yes.

Will that be helpful to the overall performace?

I haven't built a LW axe ever before, so I DONT KNOW.

ITS RAPING MY EYES X(
...Why? :D
-
Micros burn (same with Taz wheels, but bot skins can neutralize that).
Also, you do realize plastic 1 on a very exposed chassis is just crazy?
As for the hammer, that rear setup CAN be removed. Just do this:
(http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac159/123savethewhales/fatrat25-0.jpg)
but with poly sheets. And replace the micros with something more useful (like Hypnos).
-
YOUR ACORNIA HAS EVOLVED

Plastic 3
3 ants
Medium Puma
HAVOKLESS! WHOO!
-
See? Micros look bearable now due to the skin. :P
I would still use Hypnos on designs like these, but given the HP it Micros have, it's fine I guess.
-
Is this any better?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8825screenshot_40.png)
Same stats, better setup IMO, havoks first time in test place, leaving and re entering fixes it
-
Extender choice is kinda odd, but good enough. :P
Next step is getting mags on it without sacrificing much weapons. :D
-
That's gonna mean extending the chassis, which means removing all irons and replaing them with razors. Also, mags are overated. Slimbodies are all you really need for a LW.
-
Pokers are meant to strike when least expected (meaning they don't have to totally flank the opponent to deal a lot of damage), and given the grip you have right now, it needs to rely on luck to take on wedges. If your BBEANS bot had mags, you wouldn't believe how much better it would've fared against wedges (especially popups).
-
Ok, i'll work on it.
-
What's better on a BW Vs: TWM3R's or Piglets?
-
Where did you get those blue wheels? :eek:
-
Where did you get those blue wheels? :eek:
Nar AI.

What's better on a BW Vs: TWM3R's or Piglets?
Depends on what kind of VS you want. Piglets on gut-rippy VSes are fine. For punt-y VSes however, mags are recommended.
-
I made a dual HS Sawbot, but it's on my other PC, so i'll just describe it to you.
A dual HS Sawbot. 2 60cm Saws, attached to 2 perm 80 M's. Mag drive with mini wheels, Tite 1 and 3 ants.
-
Improved my sawbot, but don't know what to do with the spare weight.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92931screenshot_41.png)
4 ants, plastic 3.
-
Slowly solving my own problems. Upgraded to Slimbody Drive with Rubbers, Now around the 235 mark.
-
Umm, better armour?
-
Umm, better armour?
Maybe...
-
Put a tiny weapon rack in between the weapon motors for defense against wedges. :D
-
FINALLY finished my UHW for Somebody's competition. Takes about half a minute to load. Steel 10 Armour, 6 ants. The spikes alone weigh about 3000KG.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82557screenshot_47.png)
-
with 5000kgs to work with I would think people could come up with original designs :frown: .

It's hard to find ways to waste the weight, and I couldn't be bothered trying anything new.
-
Meh, I can barely fill 2500 KG, I'm entering my popup multibot that has about 450 KG of wedge ballast..
:P
-
As long as you guys are entering. :D
And FOTEP, I would recommend using up that extra weight. EFIE 4 (yup, new version, all internal changes though) weighs exactly 2500.0, making it at the weight limit for UHWs. Booyaa!

How many batteries would I need to make this so it works properly?

Use tall black batterys. Brust motors use the amount of amps they say they do unlike Spin motors
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66006screenshot_49.png)
Aluminium 10 Armour. Last time I counted it was around 30 Ants 28 Fail Batteries 10 Battlepacks and 1 Large Black. And yes, you are screwed, EFIE.
-
HOW DID YOU ATTACH THE BETAS OUTSIDE THE CHASSIS???
And that isn't even enough batteries for EFIE.
-
HOW DID YOU ATTACH THE BETAS OUTSIDE THE CHASSIS???
Titanium Half plates with a Flipper Segment on the end.
And I know it's SLIGHTLY underpowered, but the ant batteries + fails give out some impressive amps, better than large blacks by about 20 amps i think. Might remove the middle one if it's so underpowered, but ti doesn't act like it's underpowered...
-
NOTHING IS SAFE.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59998screenshot_50.png)
NOTHING.

Win.
-
The new HOJ weighs more. And I don't think that Betas attach outside the chassis in DSL 2.1. I'm going to have to check that...
-
The new HOJ weighs more.
Download Link?

Its on the BeetleBros site.

DP
Can someone check for me if a Beta burst attaches outside the chassis in DSL 2.1? I am away from my computer right now but I kinda want to know.
-
He's using Nar Ai
-
Its on the BeetleBros site.
When I downloaded it, It was the same version i'd previously used. Also, It's NAR AI, so no, It doesn't work in DSL.
-
I know, but I cannot remember off the top of my head if they will or won't attach outside the chassis in DSL 2.1, which the tourney is in And I kinda want to know or I'll forget and allow a bot that should not be allowed.
-
Well then, If It's not allowed...
HOW DID EFIE GET 6 BETA BURSTS!? THE MAX CHASSIS SIZE ONLY ALLOWS 5! [/phoenixwright]
-
Yup it only fits 5 betas across.

Oops, soz, forgot that. Tite 1.

Near-Indestructable front armour
Oddly, no steering problems.

Swap the multi extender work for 40cm Tite Sheets, and stick another ant in there somewhere.
-
I would replace those Multi's with ploycarbs or carbonfibers. Same extender work, less weight (and then you might be able to get something on the end of the bars)
But it looks cool.

[Flying Battery 4]
Don't the weapons touch the ground and deal no damage? I can't picture those little extenders supporting the whole weight of that weapon.
Also, needs more batteries. You can't even spin and drive at the same time with 1 ant. The obvious way to get weight for batteries is to use Copal drive... but then you risk making a Die-Cast clone.
-
DSL bars alone are fail weapons anyway.
And 1 ant ALSO is fail.

Flying Battery 5 is here! Fixed all the problems (non-invertability, low damage, havok, 1 ant, low armour) whilst still being the awesomeness we all like.

Oh look, I upgraded Osprey. Now it even has a working helecopter blade!
-
You know, it's better if you DON'T make it combat-effective at all. Those weapons kill the design.
-
I think it looks cool like that.
-
Then you shouldn't have named it 'Osprey', as it is totally misleading. :P
-
It's also just a mess of weapons...
-
I liked the original Osprey. You know, I've actuallly been inside one!
-
Ok then.

I think it looks cool like that.
I don't.
I mean it's your choice....but it looks like a bunch of weapons got pulled together by a magnet in a random order.

No, you'll get your lovely custom component, re-balanced, anti-dsl version too.

Oh. ok then. Should I make a DSL version that can do this then, or...?
-
Harpoon isn't even overpower when compare to all the other stuff in NAR AI..... Like Dragonbreath motor and 2000 HP NPC Fast. It's as if NPC Fast isn't already the best motor in the game when it had 400 HP.

But you have to agree that NARpoons are one of the most imbalanced weapons. :P

Yes. Very. Can take out Microwhirl in 1:30 with 17259 points and still have 4 razors to spare, with NOTHING ELSE falling off.

You forget... If a carbon extender has something attached to it, the carbon's HP is the carbon extender + the HP of whatever item is attached to it.
-
I like it... though I question whether it is the best set up for a BW VS. How do fast rammers and Code RED do against it?

if you submitting to NarAI you need a different name.. no 2 AI robots can have the same name otherwise the first bindings will be used for both robots and the second bindings ignored
its just how the game reads the python
for example I could put the same robot in every single team and only write the bindings once in the python and it will all work fine...

none at all. not good at bullet . i prefer the beat-em-up games (10.5 with 12.3 add-on).

If you guys want to talk about that game then make a thread about it in the games section. Now, back on topic, if you please.
-
WAIT WHAT.
Huh.
Well, I'll have to rename it.
No you won't.
Scrap's bot is an AW, and it's called "The Prodigy", not just Prodigy. It might cause some confusion since their names are very similar, but still you don't have to rename your bot.
As for the bots themselves:
The VSs - They look a little fragile, but decently built.
Wyndmill - How good is it anyway? I'd imagine it dealing low damage since it has a lot of weight on the weapon motor (which I'm guessing is a Dual-Mag), and uses those weapons.
Diamond Cutter 5 - Um... does anyone have an extra pair of pants?
Perfect Cherry Blossom - I can't see much from the preview image, but it looks under-weaponed.

1. They are all good, apart from the AW.
2.It has a Tornado Mer Gearbox, so it does hand out pain.

3. Check out Diamond Cutter 7. That thing is unstoppable.
Riiiight
No shell spinner is unstoppable.
I mean SS-wise. No Sheck Spinner in Nar Ai (Apart from Diamond Cutter 2, which is Narpoons, so not allowed) can beat it.

An experimental bot that WORKS? Can it Be?

If you can't tell what it does, it falls over onto the big disk and makes the hammers spin at allmost dual perm speeds. Also does well in combat.
EDIT: Osht forgot to crop. Well, looks like you'll guys will have to hang me in the town center for all to see.

AFAIK, this is nothing new.

You already have been warned about cropping. You will crop them NOW or I will have to resort to more than just warnings
About the bot, I don't see the point of these small beaters ?

Do not tempt me to re-lock the thread (or BOTH of your threads) again.
I will not ask that you crop all your already posted pics in both showcases (though it would be welcome), but from now you will have to crop your robot pictures in both showcases or you can guess what will happen.
This applies to everyone btw.

ONE. Cropping your pictures and saving them as .PNGs take up MUCH less bandwidth than uploading the enormous .bmp Screenshots, so pages will load quicker. Doing this will actually save time for everyone.
TWO. The reason newbies MIGHT do that is because they are unfamiliar with the forum rules. Even if they do, then people will tell them that they should crop their pics, and they will more than likely follow the advice. By your logic, you're just showing yourself up to be a noob.
THREE. Cropping pics saves a lot of bandwidth, and therefore time, and there is absolutely no point in showing the Bot Lab whenever you post a new bot. Everybody knows what the Bot Lab looks like, the only thing anyone is interested in is your robot. Anything else is, fundementally, unnecessary. You can give people the specs in text.
-
With or without cropping, FOTEPX is still a n00b.
And in some cases, the botlab is semi-disturbing *glances in general direction of Dawnzu*

Not a n00b. He's not stupid. I do however think he might just be a troll and general drama queen. And that we are giving him the attention he desires right now...

Panzer Dragoon looks fantastic. I can't help thinking it might be overpowered, though.

Stratos makes me want to cry.

In a good or bad way?
BTW, the flippers are fully powered. :evilsmile:

Bad way, it's hecka slow and over weaponed for an HW. It's probably powerful as heck but anyfast gut ripper will KO it easily. I like Panzer Dragoon though.

This any better?

Yeah, HOJ is a bit of a joke.
-
Wheels still need to be grippier. Use Vlads or something.
-
Why do people brag about flipping big robots around? Everyone know those Betas are very overpowered. The merit of a flipper is not in sheer flipping power, but on how well it deals with a variety of different bot types.
-

QFT. Lemme say, it does deal with other bots quite well.
@Badnik I put Vlads on there, but am thinking aobut putting Technos on it.
-
What would be a better flipper: A half-powered Beta or a full powered JX large?
-
The fully powered JX large. Anything that is half-powered but has the potential to be fully powered is a waste of weight.
-
Well in that case, Here's Stratos Mini.

Skirt hinges fail compared to the metal hinges.

I like Panzer Dragoon, I actually wanted to build something like that.
The VS is WAY too fast and you should know it, the flipper is indeed too slow.
On the LW... well i guess it's not as effective as 2 BSG's but... making a large BSG'd LW flipper good... A CHALLENGE APPEARS
-
I like Panzer Dragoon, I actually wanted to build something like that.
You did.

That...
Is awesome. Well done Nary for making it.
Anyways, I'm trying to jam as many batteries as is humanly possible into Stratos ATM.
-
Methinks that the VS should weigh 1198.8 (just being nitpicky)
Otherwise, cool. Is it the rage to build Beta flippers nowadays?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4124087397giantmandible.png)
*Faints from awesomeness then goes to make his own*
Its just that awesome, sorry Nar (and fotep). Wont be the same though. :P
-
I made one of those kind of bots too, basically Nar's with a bunch of ants and NPCfasts with Technos.
-
I like Panzer Dragoon, I actually wanted to build something like that.
You did.
*Giant Mandible pic*
Burst motors =/= rotation restricted spin motors. It is similar in works, but nothing else.
-
How did you attatch the beta bursts like that?
Aren't they like batteries, they can only be attatched to the baseplate?
-
I changed the attach points in NAR AI so I can attach betas to other components rather than only the baseplate.

Here's a MW Juggler called Malice.

Don't worry, MassimoV.
It's called Malice 3 now.
:trollface

Ah, the Reserve Rumble bot. =D
Malice 3 looks quite good in my view, I might try and get Small Wedge components on there instead or regular angled skirts. But watch out for AGOD.

I'll post it soon, don't worry.

MY ENTRY TO CCIV :trollface
Plastic 3
3 Ants
248.6
-
Hmm. for starters, having only 3 ants supply, it is fiercely underpowered, so the BSG's will be quite slow, I imagine. And your bot will want to get things over with quickly, else it will drain its batteries very quickly, and be a sitting duck at the end. 10 Lightning Spikes, not too bad in terms of weaponry, but if anything (specifically Wheels Are Tasty 4 =P) gets to those extenders, you're done for.

Either remove some weapons and get a metal hinge, or remove the wedge and upgrade the drive.

IMO wedge trumps drive. As long as the drive can keep the weapon facing the opponent it is fine.

Either remove some weapons and get a metal hinge
That's exactly what I did!

4 ants, 248.something and a whole load better.
-
That's gonna get flanked real soon
-
@Urjak: Not here, it's far too slow. The wedge'll get trumped by any other wedge bot, and because the weapon setup is so terrible, and good Spinner will knock the weapons off before it can do anything if it outwedges them.
FOTEPX: Remove weapons, better wheels and setup.
-
@Urjak: Not here, it's far too slow. The wedge'll get trumped by any other wedge bot
Why? My LW side hammer had a great wedge.

Yes, but yours had a metal hinge.

Not originally, and he didn't make the update when you first posted, which is what I was replying to. The wedge is fine now.
FOTEPX: It isn't fully powered, but it doesn't matter. 5 is fine here. The weapon setup sucks though.

Fail. Drop weapons, add armour.

Or drop drive for normal npcs and better armour.

NPC Fasts are fine... but yeah, you probably need armor.
And this is even barely a popup, more of a weaponed flipper, plus the exposed BSG might spell doom if you face a good flail shell spinner.

THE NORMALS IT BURNS
It was fine with razors.
-
Spike strips do look very cool though :gawe:
And I know it doesn't make a difference, but I don't like the one sided wedge set up.
It's just not symetrical...
-
It's hardly a one side wedge.
-
No, I mean the fact that there's only one metal hinge and it's to one side.
I know, it's just me being pedantic, you may ignore me, the bot looks cool.
-
I'm a huge pedant. There's nothing wrong with the hinge being on one side. I just made a bot with this wedge setup.
-
I never thought there would be, like I said its just not symetrical, that's the only reason why I commented :laughing
-
It looks pretty cool, but keep in mind that wedginess means squat if you can't deal sufficient damage. >70kg is overkill for a BSG. Try dropping 2 strips and adding a feeder wedge (if you can fit a skirt hinge there).
-
Fail. It already had too much weapon weight to be good, now it's way overkill.
-
It seems like asymmetry is becoming a new fad...

Here's Revenge Of Tentomushi, A...actually...What type of bot IS THIS!? I think it's a servo-powered Top Spinner, but I've got no idea.

Anyone?

Doesn't need to be so fast.
K. Anything else?

-
The counterweight and servo are eating up a LOT of weight. I think you should take the counterweight off and put stabilising skirts on the front.
-
What? Ya mean kinda like this?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43427Revenge Of Tentomushi 2.png)
4 ants
Plastic 5
-
Something like that. I might drop the rear counterweight altogether and try to upgrabe the wheels, possibly to minis.
-
I'll see how much I can drop of the counterweight without is not being able to lift the weapon up. Be right back.
-
Hmm, interesting idea.
Reminds me of something I was going to do a while back, should probably finnish that bot off actually...
Anyway, I'd personally try to add some kind of external armour if possible or perhaps add another razor on the middle of the disk rather than upgrade the wheels.
-
Did scorpion's Idea, and added another razor. Still plastic 5, and still with 4 ants. Weight is 248.9

Reminds me of one of Naryar's Kitchen Appliances.

Kitchen Appliances ? What are you talking about, crazy brit ? It somehow looks like JunkMaker 3000, but isn't a kitchen appliance.
Anyways, it might be better with a skirt hinge just like JMK3000.

Skirt hinge wedge, or what?
-
better angle plz
DP
Sure.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74510!siht esrever.png)
-
Kitchen Appliances ? What are you talking about, crazy brit ?
It reminds me of a food blender, with razors screwed onto the blades. In other words, something I could see you using.
-
Enough of this off-topic bullsh*t, how do I improve this?
-
It needs front stabilizers, for one thing. As it is now, the bot is just going to do somersaults around the servo axle. A wedge would be a perfect stabilizer--doesn't have to be a good wedge (you don't have weight anyway), you just need something to keep the bot from tipping forward. A skirt hinge with two long poly skirts would probably do.
If you want to go the wedgeless route it's better to make a Kheper-style bot.
-
Hmm, would a raised skirt hinge that could act as protection (insted of the snowplow) and a wedge work aswell?
-
On the topic of experiments, Here's Mohawk Grenade, An Underflamer/Side Hammer hybrid.

7 ants
1 large tank
Plastic 10
10 flamers
Weight: 798.6
Metal Hinge wedges
-
That looks pretty cool.
-
That's too much for a BSG to handle. Get JX Smalls by downgrading the armor.
If you're too lazy to do that though, just lighten the load and angle the swing arc slightly upwards (to maximize the usage of the side hammers).
-
It looks even worse than my Sarcophagus
-
I'd make it invertable and give it stronger wedges the polycarb ones are gonna get eaten by a spinner or SNS.
That chasis also looks familar. It looks like Death From Above's chasis. :P
-
It looks even worse than my Sarcophagus
I'm sure that being an evil genius and all you would have a really awesome sarcophagus. The works.
OT: Ya, I agree with the above posts. Nifty idea though. :P
-
Should you angle the flame throwers forwards? I mean, how much time is a bot going to spend by the plow?

Another experimental bot, except this one actually works as planned!

Here's Heartline, RA2's first Barreler.
Tite 5
5 ants
Weight: 796.8
-
Not the first. Russian Roulette was the first to come with the design 1 year ago, then I (inspired by RR) and Joey did one.
See 7337H and Backyard Grinder in NAR AI.
And I think barrel spinner sounds better than barreler.
-
And Click too!
-
Eh, you say tomato, I say tomahto.
Anyways, it's the first Vertical one, right?
-
Its the first 4WD one, but I think 7337H was vertical at one point.
But it was fail when it was vertical (so is it now), so i'll guess I can call this one the first decent entirely vertical barrel spinner.
Somehow I doubt the wedges are good (and the bot in overall) since the spinner's torque screws up the weight distribution.
-
I did an angled one.
-
Anything fast is going to send you straight over backwards.
-
Aww, I want one :P
-
It looks even worse than my Sarcophagus
You should totally build a nooby version of that and call it esophagus.
I would, but I can't find a pic.

Click did the first IIRC, then RR and I made ours seemingly simultaneously as I showcased mine days after he sent you his for NarAI
but yeah Barrel Spinner gets my vote
-
Barrel Spinners actually seem like pretty crappy bot types in actuality. They rely solely on wedges, and there weapon is rather exposed in general (weapons only on inside, outside left exposed). Vertical ones seem at a specific disadvantage in terms of the latter.
-
vertical ones are awful as they ruin there own wedges.. Naryars angler one wasnt bad for positioning
also they are crappy because they rely on wedges ? what about pop ups, flippers, etc :P
-
also they are crappy because they rely on wedges ?
It is always bad for a spinner, who usually have crappier wedges than most.
-
its basically just a juggler with a different weapon placement really..
-
It looks even worse than my Sarcophagus
You should totally build a nooby version of that and call it esophagus.
I lol'ed.
But TBH it just looks like a FS trying hard to be something else. Try 2WD but with a larger stance (and by wider, I mean LARGER). This puts emphasis on why your weapon setup is that way.

Only people with low creativity find it hard... true there is less and less new bot types to do, but theorically there is a near-INFINITY of new bot types to create.
-
Just most of them are probably useless. :P
-
Just most of them are probably useless. :P
Correct. And people seem to like the tried-and-tested bot types, such as popups, because they're probably the most effective bot types at the moment.
-
Well i've been trying to make more spinners as of lately, aswell as my usual fail hybrids.
Anyway, maybe people just don't want to experiment a bit incase the experiments suck.
-
That's the whole point of experimenting.
-
Just most of them are probably useless. :P
Indeed. There probably isn't more than 30-40 efficient bot types in DSL.
-
the new robots really end up being sub classes of sub classes, etc
the name of a new robot type is normally shot down by many (I have tried many times)
-
I was going to make a bot like that but you beat me to it.
-
Just most of them are probably useless. :P
Agree. Crawler aside, the 4 types effective bots are wedge (includes everything that rely solely on winning the wedge war), flail sns, wedgeless vs, and de-weapon (Sting Ray and Refraction).
This particular bot falls into the wedge category, as it does not introduce a new method of winning. So we can ask if this huge barrel is the most efficient way of dealing damage after winning the wedge war.
-
What about FGs, HSs and FSSs?
-
Hmm, a new way of winning *goes off to try out an idea for a completely new bot type*.
-
Let me rephrase what I said, a bot can attack from the front, below, above, sweep, or return damage. After which we can compare how likely the bot is going to be in the expected position.
It takes the same condition to stay in front as it is below (win the wedge war and not get sweeped). A bot that damage from below (popups) tends to do this better than one in front (face spinner).
A bot that damage from above tend to rely on extenders to prevent weapon from touching the floor. While they have little trouble getting into position against wedges, they will struggle to get into position against even a mediocre sweep bot.
A bot that sweeps relies on denying other bots' ability to get under/get above. So far the Flail SnS is the best at this task.
A return damage bot does not care much about it's position. It wins by skipping all positioning mechanism and relying on it's superior weapon weight.
And finally, we have crawlers, which skips drive for superior defense/weapon coverage.
-
And pinners?
-
And pinners?
Pinner without wedge cannot pin anything. And most pinners falls more into the de-weapon category than relying on wedge war to win.
-
And pinners?
Pinner without wedge cannot pin anything.
Not necessarily, a wedge is only needed against another wedge.

You can't even pin a wedgeless VS. And good luck trying to pin a flail SnS without wedge.

Valid Query 2?

I was thinking more Sheck Spinners and HSs but I'm looking more "low-weight class" than you.

Did anyone notice that this is the second time he thought he was the first person to ever do something?
Yes. Like sparkey :P
On topic, do what pwn said.
all newbies do that kinda sorta.

Wedge is still a large part of get pinners to work. That said, maybe it's not a good idea to spam Fotepx's showcase about the effectiveness of every bot type.
Valid Query 2?
How often does it remain in a desirable position again HnM4, RPP, or Cash Cow?

I was referring to your claim that "You can't pin a wedgeless VS". Valid Query 2's match against Fever in TA could have probably gone that way if the AI had been Pusher instead of Rammer. Admittedly, against HnM, it doesn't fare well.

Maybe I should rephrase it as.
You can't pin "my" wedgeless VSs. Since I was thinking about them when I made that comment.
-
Ah, okay. You probably could, but the bot would suck agaisnt everything else.
-
Ah, okay. You probably could, but the bot would suck agaisnt everything else.
A wammer can pin and de-weapon them actually, but they are just not regarded as pinners in most cases since they wedge other things.
The normal "weapon in front" pinner however cannot prevent bots from going on top. Some turn a few razors up to prevent it, but they tend to break quickly against VS.
-
That said, maybe it's not a good idea to spam Fotepx's showcase about the effectiveness of every bot type.
I don't mind at all. It gives me time to work on my next bot whilst keeping my showcase fresh.
EDIT: I just had an awesome idea! The weappon of this bot on a servo. When a bot gets into the barrel, the barrel goes horizontal, making it harder to escape from! I'm not gonna do it, though. Sounds too compliated.
-
No, it sounds rubbish.
That kinda design doesn't work.
-
*chuckles gently*
Just try it before judging.
-
Have, doesn't work on a normal spinner atleast.
The laws of physics would stop it from working like you think it would anyway.

Realised I hadn't made a new bot in a while, so here's Terminal Pressure.

Underpowered
-
I question the decision to put the motors right in front COMPLETELY undefended.
-
I can't fit any more ants in there. Might drop the bursts to BSG's.
@Urjak What do you recommend covering them up with?
-
Assuming you want to keep your weapons and drive the same... nothing can be done about it. You might be able to put a DSL bar in for some added defense. Or better a Heavy Plow.
-
You can change to BSGs and put a heavy plow on here, yes.
-
The extenders are more likely to break then the motors.
However I would suggest using 3 bsg and just leave them undefended.
-
Chronically underpowered. Needs at least 12 ants here. Drop down to Normal NPCs and possibly Minis, swap for BSG's, and definitely add a plow of some sort in front of them, Medium or Heavy. Strengthen extenders a little bit as well.
-
VeI've had good results from 2 light plows and a DSL bar in a \_/ shape. You need to fully power the bursts. 2 weaker burst fully powered is better than two stronger bursts underpowered.
-
Here's a new bot, haven't thought up a name yet, so I'll just call it Minesweeper's Deformed Cousin.

Bad extender work and weak chassis is too exposed to bots like HS's and hammers.

Anyway, that's a really poor bot FOTEPX, I am dissapoint.

Fast rammer Even Warhead 2 can't take on this bot. Either armor or weapons have to be traded if you want a fast rammer. Neither will help you reach the motors.

I still think a fast rammer could get to them though, and I suppose you're right about the bar VS thing.
The flail SS I'm not too sure about, it may just be the angle of the picture messing with my eyes.
-
Would you guys recommend dropping the polys to carbon extrenders so I can get a wider, faster drive?
-
The stance seems pretty fine as it is, taking out practically every bot type except for extremely crazy HS.
EDIT: Oops, accidentally edited Pwn's post. Sorry pwn. He asked about a wider stance and told me not to get faster drive, if you're all wondering.

Really, every time I've tried to make a LW Down Poker, the stabilisers have been too weak.
FSS usually draw the bot to one side and hit the stabilisers (BTW Those angled aluminium skirts are really strong enough either)
I would remove a razor, downgrade to plastic 1 (No point is chassis armour) and make the extenders stronger.
-
looks good. I would downgrade the armor (no one's gonna reach the chassis, not even most LW hammers) and get stronger skirts if you can.

Having longer axles helps to stop it from falling over and makes it a bit harder to flip.

It helps that these bots are decent enough to not warrant rookie whacking.

She should be something very heavily focused on raw power and entirely skipping all other factors, like a flail razor spinner (Middleweight or above).

Only 1 drive motor.

External dual perm is a lot better, even if that makes it more of a Weapon Array clone.

How can you be both lazy and both attempt to improve Gametechmods's shell spinner specialist bot ?

I think he meant he's trying to improve from Diamond Cutter.

Yeah, basically. But, I'm not sure if it's better or not. I'll test it now.

The faster spin speed seemed to increase longevity, but actually somehow DECREASE total damage.

-
Maybe because a dual perm is slower than a six mag...
-
And yet people still continue to use Dual Perms when a 6 mag is truly better in terms of speed. From now on, i'm ONLY going to use Dual-Perms on SHW's. 6-mag seems a lot better for a HW in the tests.
-
6 mag is seemingly better for relatively light weapon setups, because of more maxspeed. Dual perm is for heavy duty HS.
-
Dual Perm is better because you can mount it externally with 8000 HP, and bumbles better after getting wedged with 60 torque.
The 35 torque and 400 HP 6 mag is not the best for surviving against wedges. Even if it can result in winning the de-weapon war against another shell.

Would be able to take out 3 Caesiums, but the lagging and havoks were unbearable. (In case anyone's wondering, Rockhouse was the beta name for Diamond Cutter EVO)
-
And I bet about a third of the time both Caesiums were bumping into each other as well. That makes it at least better than a Caesium and a third. But still cool. :P
Seems too specialized against FSS, though.
-
Well As you can see, I had about half of my weaponry left, so I think it's about roughly as powerful as 2 caesiums.
Yes, I know it's a bit too specialized against FSS, and I know I should have angled shell to help combat wedges, but this version of Diamond Cutter is just a test to see how many weapons I can get onto there whilst still being effective.
-
Angled shell barely help at fighting wedges. Bottom armor does. :P
And yes, I noticed that you had half your weaponry left PLUS the fact that both Caesiums were very close to each other, meaning they were bumping into each other once in a while, so not all of the damage came from you. Not that I'm saying it sucks. A 36-macer can trash 2 24-irons. XD

So, what you're saying is, 24 beaters + 24 razors <<< 16 beaters + 16 maces?

Forget TWM, astralflight for the win.

123, pokers are like rammers. The more speed you can get, the better. That's why Storms should allways be used unless they cause a havok.
-
Your current setup are only 22% faster than an astralflight/hypno.
And if you are crazy enough to use TWM rather than TWMR for the HP, then you will have exactly the same speed as astral/hypno.
You either have
1. 800 HP motor, 2500 HP wheel, 35 kg, 18 torque
2. 8000 HP motor, 800 HP wheel, 38 kg, 18 torque
3. 400 HP motor, 800 HP wheel, 38 kg, 22 torque
Not to mention you can save 6 more kg from multi-extender by just mounting the astralflight internally.
Of course, you can also just add 4 more kg, drop the multi extenders, use NPC Normals, and boost torque to 32.
-
123 I think you have too much time on your hands ;p
-
Hey, Npc Normals don't seem like that much of a bad idea. Yeah, I'll remove the Dsl Lights on either side and get NPC Normals. But that'll have to wait until tommorow, I just danced to MJ for 10 minutes solid and my legs feel like they're gonna snap.

Maybe make outside mounted astro flight drive? Lightweight piston bots dont really need fast drive as the piston makes them go much faster.

Please refrain from posting bad advice.
The piston only makes them go faster when they FIRE, and it drains quite fast anyway.

Here's Photonic Disruptor. Tite 1, I think. And no, it isn't unrealistic, it doesn't cut through any batts, and doesn't cut fully through the baseplate.

Why the aluminum extenders when you can use skirts? Unless its an invertibility issue.
-

Helps with height of the blade. With the Alu's, the VS is nearly on the floor, so it helps quite a bit. Might bend the flipper extenders, 'cause it rarely stays upside down when it's there.
-
Yay wedgeless VS!
But...the setup could be improved, there is very little/no protection on that bot, and the size of the bot with the small wheel size looks to me like it's cause invertibility problems anyway.
-
Looks MESSY

Here's version 2.
Yay wedgeless VS!
But...the setup could be improved, there is very little/no protection on that bot, and the size of the bot with the small wheel size looks to me like it's cause invertibility problems anyway.
It doesn't really need that much protection, and it does run inverted.
-
Let me rephrase the invertible part then, that bot's gonna be bumbling quite a bit if it gets knocked off balance because the wheels are so small and the disk in particular so big, also it looks like it could get stuck on it's side, on the new version especially.
And you don't want to protect your bot better?!?!? The setup you have offers no protection really, look at other setups, like 123's latest wedgeless VS's for example using plows to help trap other bots and/or my tornado of souls bots which use skirts to stabilise AND protect.
There are far more usefull setups you could have, all there is on that bots setup is a lot of exposed extender work and wasted weight.
-
The extender work makes me cringe. And surely your good enough to use another flipper seg instead of a alu extender?
In fact, lighten the extender work a little, and if you must have your drive like that, use DSL bars. Its also underpowered, and bigger wheels will help too. And put it against a HS, or another VS (eg Blood Orange, [eS] Cargo) and see why it needs protection.
-
I has 3 ants, it's just the 3rd one's hidden. I'll take your advice.
-
Is this any better?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68725Arseandbollocks.png)
Plastic 1
-
Not bad, can do better in extender work though.
I would use 40cm angled sheets really.
-
Take off one of the flipper segments and possibly shrink the chassis?
-
It looks rather tippy. Maybe shorten the extenders holding the drive and use them to put the plows further forward instead. It should be more stable.
I like how you made it invertible.
-
Here's Diamond Cutter Evo³.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/93121Hahasax.png)
2 ants
plastic 1
Npc Normals, large ants
-
You really need some bottom protection.
-
With a chassis that small, I don't think bottom protection will be effective. Do keep in mind, the chassis is smaller than 1X2, so the main threat is the Dual-Perm.
-
Bottom protection also protects the motor....
-
Popup.py only fires at the chassis. Why take the risk at the cost of 2 razors?
-
I originally didn't showcase this because I had no original ideas. But now, after A while, I've thought up a name. May I present:

Static horizontal spinners are outdated now, flails are the way forward.

Flails Don't seem to improve anything on this bot.

.....O.O
I have to admit, that you are good at Sheck spinners. Though its basically the same formula nowadays. Dual perm, disc, one motor, 2 ants, small chassis etc. Weapons- flail razors or LBB's with small DS or razors.
Now, if you can find something thats cooler or more effective (still SS here xD).. :D
-

*cough*My design*cough* :mrgreen:
Anyways, I personally think static SS still have their place, but FOTEPX you need some bottom protection.
EDIT: Ideally more than one half-sheet.
-
Static is fine. Not like shell spinners can sweep anything.
Static shell with enough bottom armor can still beat a wedge, and also de-weapon flail shell.
-
Doesn't static BB+razor beat flail razor? Unsure.
-
Yes it does, mainly due to weapon weight advantage. Flail and extenders can easily weight up to 80+kg.
-
Ok, thanks.

Plastic 1

Looks interesting. How is it against wedges?
-
I'm assuming it has little/no sweeping power and is very exposed if flipped over.
-
I'm assuming it has little/no sweeping power and is very exposed if flipped over.
Screw it being flipped over, with plastic one armour and no botton protection, it's screwed against any decent gutripper.....
....However....
You might have missed a trick with this setup FOTEPX, Use a solid disk, maybe even a size larger, and voila, bottom protection.
-
I believe the disk has a solid collision mesh.
-
TBH, i couldn't remember wether it did or not, i was talking about upgrading the disk to be stronger though anyway, coz it's gonna need all the hp you can get for obvious reasons.
-
Looks easy for popups and hammers to beat.
-
Hammers, not necessarily. Popups, yeah.
But this is a specialized anti-straight attack (rammers, classic pokers, HS, flails, SnS) bot anyways. It's going to fly against any good gut-ripper.
-
make a little corner so you can just mount the npc to the chassis directly.
I do like the idea of it.

Inspired by Series 3 of Robot Wars, Thyrus and a whole load of coke, I decided to make a realistic flipper design.

Ok guys, I'm totally out of ideas. Any ideas you want me to make look epic?

Challenger looks excellent. You can try the realistic look with a spinner if you fancy.

Could someone do me a favour make multi-colour flipper extrenders? It would expand my realistic building so much, right now everything I build just looks so... Grey. ._.

That's a really cool design Fotepx

Could I get different angles of those last 2 bots? They looks really cool.
-
I can't give you angles of the first bot, cause that's on my upstairs PC, but what angle do you want of Venom (Keep in mind my laptop doesnt have a scroll wheel and I don't know how to scroll out without one)
-
You can use PgUp and PgDn to zoom in and out, and if you hold the right mouse button while moving, that pans the camera around.
-
I know the pan thing, it's just that I didn't know the scroll thing. Thanks NFX. =)
So, what angles you want?
-
Just a farther away angle, pointing towards one of the front corners. Just enough to see the whole bot clearly. From the top preferably.

I agree with SM
I don't. I'd rather question someone who's actually built a flipper in real life over a cheese eating surrender monkey.
Why don't you just accept the advice and never make the modifications, y'know. sweep it under the carpet... No one will know!
...Owait...
-
On the BW rammer, does that wedge really give you much?
-
You need the legnth, the bots with flippers mounted further forwards don't tend to flip "up" enough
RA2 =/= IRL
Steeper starting angle gives more of the arc pushing up and forward whilst a flatter stating angle pushes the opponent both forwards then backwards at the end of the arc, (who wants to flip back into the arena?)

From what i know (not that much) it goes:
Steeper flipper = robot goes forwards.
Flatter flipper = Robot goes up.
If the flipper has a big enough arc then yes, the robot might go backwards.
:mrgreen:
Could do with another ant but i like it.
I didn't see any difference between Child Prodigy with 2 ants and 3 ants, and this uses the same motors, so I guess it's fine as it is. Also, thanks for the inspiration.
I'm just glad people are inspired by my building :mrgreen:

Scorps had the right idea.
I'd like to see another view of the bot, it's a bit hard to see what it's like fron the front alone.

Just wanted to say, Wonderful bot.

It's called searching.

Another experiment with Side Panels, Here's Dr. Inferno. Sr.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69255Inferno.png)
Weight is 398.2, 4 ants, it's quite pathetic combat-wise and it looks like a retarded baby.

Neat contraption.
-
Too tired to judge if this is good or not.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/655Ugh.png)
2 ants, Plastic 3.

Looks awesome tbh.
Does it tip much/at all when it hits something?

Not usually, and if it does, it turns into a juggler anyway, so :P
-
Here we go again:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62881Appendage.png)
I'll smallen the chassis and add Tite 1 at a later date. NPC norms, and Plastic 1.
-
I made a flipper with Plastic 3, NPC + Hypnos, 2x BSG + Tite Flippers + Metal Hinge Wedge
-
Yes,but hows that relevant to this bot?No offence.
Anyways,i think thats overpowered.
I also think you have the space to put the metal hinge in the front middle and have it straight
-
Here we go again:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62881Appendage.png)
Me likeys.
How many ants?
Plastic 1.
D:
Oh and i do like that BW, how often do the teeth hit something?
-
I made a flipper with Plastic 3, NPC + Hypnos, 2x BSG + Tite Flippers + Metal Hinge Wedge
Made the same just now. Not showcasing because I want to be original.
Anyways,i think thats overpowered.
I also think you have the space to put the metal hinge in the front middle and have it straight
Nope, right amount of ants. Also, doing it that way gives the metal hinge more surface area, making the distance where it's wedgy more.
Oh and i do like that BW, how often do the teeth hit something?
More often than the razors. Might as well change it to an angled HS.
-
Yes,but hows that relevant to this bot?No offence.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/27548Hyperactive.jpg)
-
Ah. AH! MINE HAS A TITE WEDGE! HAHAH! I beat the flipper god!
-
OK then, lets see your bot
-
Again with the too tired to judge if it's good or not
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68466Heh.png)
3 ants.+
-
You need 4 ants, and aluminium makes horrible armour
And I'm still waiting to see this flipper you boast about
-
Previous page...
-
you should build more IRL bots ;)
-
Your flipper is slightly underpowered. You need 7 ants because of the BSGs take 2.5 ants.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77944eEEEKASD.png)
-
lol, can you not have a smaller shell panel, and dsl bar setup, i.e just make the whole thing shorter to save some weightzzz
-
Is it just me or is that the LW VS building style fad ATM?
-
Nope, don't wanna do that. I'm enjoying flinging bots to kingdom come whilst doing 2000+. With a BW.
@Joeblo the only bot I know of which has done this style is Scraps and Mine.
-
Didn't Pwn make something like that a while back?
Looks interesting, though. Can't imagine it'd be terribly stable.
-
Didn't Pwn make something like that a while back?
STOP SNOOPING AROUND MY RD FOLDER
Yes, I built one way back, but was too unstable for my tastes so I didn't showcase it. Scrap's was much better (because I used a Perm 80).
-
Lol such a clone of Scrap's new Byter design.
-
Changed the weapon to a 60 Skirt Panel with 2 Medium DSL Beaters, with 2 more Medium Dsl Beaters attaches to that, and then the Small DSL Teeth. That's right, Triple layered. On a VS.
-
That's right, Triple layered. On a VS.

BTW, those 2 bots were on a tag team. This bot is SERIOUSLY overpowered.
-
Looks good.
-
Love that team name. :P
Looks kewl.
-
It looks slow, but then again you have quite a lot of weapons...
-
I would put hypno's on there, but for some reason it can't turn right with Hypno's on.
-
That actually looks quite good. I wouldn't like to have Alu 1 on it, if you swapped the front wedge to poly, I think you could get Tite 1.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37215Ooooghdf.png)
Had to re-organize the chassis, but it's all realistic.
-
Needs 4 ants.
-
On the contrary; 2 astros and a piglet can run at full power with 2 ants.
-
Can they really? Anyways, great design.
-

Worked fine on Child Prodigy, and it works fine on this.

Nope.

Yep.

nope. but you should send bots to DF :P
-
Will do.
-
2 astros and a piglet can run at full power with 2 ants.
For about 0.033 seconds. If you've got 4 motors, you really do need 4 ants, or you're going to run out of juice ridiculously quickly.
-
Here's the last IRL Realistic bot I'm making. I'm passing the torch to DSC and Thyrus, they can handle it much better than me. You will see a few from time to time, but for now...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36926StormRAIDER.png)
Enjoy.
-
looks good
-
That's not actually that bad. =) Perhaps if the front icepicks were the other way round, with the points at the bottom.

Looks like it can't hit anything well like this
Agreed, it tilts back too much, you'll probably just end up hitting the very top of other bots most of the time, when you really want to hit them as low as possible.
-
im totally making one of these things tomorrow or something
-
I've been having fun with this bot for like 2 days now, so I think it deserves to be posted.

My BW Rammer has more weapons than that.

I think it's pretty well executed, personally. I might have used a different motor than the Dual Mag, though, not sure which.
-

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41266Stonecross.png)
I suppose the Duals are necessary because it's not using flails, but they work fine with lower power motors like normal TWMR3s if they do have flails.
Good though.
-
Neat but according to the weight, that's a HW.
-
No, it's either.
-
Something inside me craves for a Diamond Cutter rebuild with Harpoons. Shame my upstairs PC is broken, no bots until Saturday at the earliest.

I thought I'd include that FPS count just to show HOW BAD the lag is. Whilst making a bot, IT'S 2 TIMES WORSE.
-
What causes such bad lag?
-
What causes such bad lag?
Just the general crappiness of the laptop, as well as bad DirectX SUpport. 160GB memory, 1GB Ram, and DirectX drivers that probably date back to the stone age.

I like the bot. I bet it's pretty unstable though.

Don't worry, I've found a way around it. Not gonna show until the tournament though
-
Can someone explain to me why the motor needs to be inside?
-
Well
1. Bots should be as realistic as possible for Battlebots 2.0
2. It is better off inside the chassis for protection
-
How does having it on the outside make it unrealistic?
-
I don't know the interpretation of these IRL stuff, but I do know that trying to use the chassis to take the hit for any motor is just crazy.
Just use a motor with HP. Having exposed chassis take any hit is never worth it.
-
Can someone explain to me why the motor needs to be inside?
I've guarded the motor now, BTW.

One question: Is the bot meant to be effective, or just to have fun?
If the bot is not in the spirit of the competition, it will not be accepted. It looks you built it as a pure killer, and I won't accept those.

I built it to be fun, and it turned out to be killer. If I'd have built it to be deliberately killer, I would've easily been able to cut 10kg off the chassis weight. Also I wouldn't have kept the wheels in the chassis.

You could remove the shell panels that just hold one iron, and attach said irons directly to the disk. That could, if you can shave off 2 more kg, get you a medium2 disk.

No, this isn't for BOF. You guys consider that IRL realistic? *Rolls around on the floor, laughing like Strong Bad*
Aahaha... No, but, the door hinges are quite an annoyance, mainly because they AGOD. A lot. Wedges are still pretty good, considering they AGOD'd, but I might switch to Skirt Hinge instead of Metal Hinge.

Went to Skirt Hinges, and with the remaining weight, gave it some groovy protection, like this;

I see the weapons are touching the floor in the top one, does that always happen?
-

Nope, this was just a rare occurrence.
-
I had a similar idea a while back. It started out as a sort-of top grinder flail VS that I found can also be a deadly undercutter HS. Sadly it would only work when upside-down and had massive AGOD. It eventually became Hydrosphere in the NAR AI pack.
I like the looks of yours however, except I'm not very convinced by that skirt hinge wedge.
-
Lawl you have no idea how long I've been trying to build a completely invertible Night Horror.
Also, that is totally not Jekyll. IT HAS TOO MANY TEETH TO BE TAME.

Eh, made another team.

-
I like trident missile, btw what bot type is WMD?
-
Sheck spinner type thing or something.
-
Looks pretty cool though.
-
Get rid of the side razors on the first LW and put Hypnos on. Trident Missle's weapon extender looks exposed/messy.
-
It's designed to be a glass cannon, de-glass-i-fied. What do you expect? Besides, It's an Aluminium, and hasn't fallen off once during testing, so I don't see that much of a problem.
And on the LW, It's got NPC Fasts. Interesting fact:
NPC Fasts w+ Micros + NPC Norms w+ Hypnos = same speed.
-
yeah, but NPC fast + Hypno = faster than both.
-
yeah, but NPC fast + Hypno = faster than both.
And NPC fast + hypno = useless if the weapon setup comes off. And with carbons, you really cannot afford to take chances.

Porygon I can't use because of some stupid rule BS. So I've gotta remake it, but resize it to be about double the size. Screw that, I'll do it tommorow.
-
some stupid rule BS.
Niceee.
EDIT: I thought you meant the bot ITSELF was 660kg in the thread, not UNDER by 660kg... You could probably enter 2 of those if you wanted.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57950Xscape.png)
-
That text isn't unreadable enough. You should do something about it.
Like the bot though, not too sure about the yellow/red colour scheme however.
-
DAT COLOUR SCHEME
Nice idea, the 40cm skirt looks out of place though.
-
I'm digging the extra angler+aluminum extender and I have no idea why.
FLIPPER NEEDS A SKIN, SON.
-
Flipper should definitely be skinned. It looks alright, though, I also like the extra flippermaker & aluminium extender. Because it makes it look like a piston. :gawe: I had the idea previously on my updated version of Taur 2.
-
Looks cool, but the flipper needs a skin, definitely.
-
Liking the green flames.
-
My first real IRL realistic HW, Cerberus.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12641CERBERUS.png)
And before you ask, yes it can self-right.
-
That's a lot of side panels. If you used Beater Bars on the front to give a slightly more offensive ramming capability, that might make it a bit more effective, as well as looking a bit better. As it is, it looks like a bit of a mess, with all those side panels on there at different angles. I'd try making it look slightly more coherent with itself.
-
Awesome.
Put soem weapons to use that leftover kg you have though
-
Nice design. What is the armor though?
-
I don't like it... Too much panels...
-
It would definitely look cooler with Lightning spikes on the front.
Also, do you really need a 70 kg hammer ?
-
BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?

TWO BOTS IN ONE DAY!?
IMPOSSIBRU

Another IRL bot disguised under the idea that's it a Ring Spinner. Reminds me of the Griffolyon Transforming Beyblade. (http://www.bbarena.altervista.org/serie/transformer/griffolyon_pack.jpg)

HOLY CARP I HAD A BEYBLADE THAT LOOKED LIKE THAT ONE

HOLY CARP I HAD A BEYBLADE THAT LOOKED LIKE THAT ONE
Oh I give you 4 bots in one go and you're talking about Beyblade.

Why do I bother?

I really like the new Cerberus.

I really like the new Cerberus.
Thanks bro, took a bit of time to figure out how I could add a splash of colour to the bot without reskinning.
-
I don't like fantasma but the latest toriodore is great. Ceberus looks nice too =D
-
I don't like fantasma but the latest toriodore is great. Ceberus looks nice too =D
And Ileapsa?
-
I assume that's a Ring Spinner? I like it but what's the weapon motor?
-
TWM3R.
-
Get smaller weapons for Ileapsa. With a low tourque weapon motor with an average top speed I doubt it's ideal to use weapons with lots of width. Using smaller setups with a Large Beater Bar and a Small DS tooth should be more effective as it would have more damage due to a more appropriate radius for the weapons and also should have more impact as the weapons would have a greater rotational velocity.
Plus dem claws aren't like the beyblades anyways.

Metal Hinge Wedges? Poor show.
Cerberus is looking very nice, though. I really like the use of the PA Skirts for some reason, it looks a lot better than just a mass of side panels.

Toriodore had metal hinges since Battlebots 2.

That was Badnik who said he would.
SHW is just too much for me, but I might try something.

Hide your metal hinge wedges better or flow them into the design. Currently they are just kinda stuck there and don't look right. I really don't like your drumbot, your weapon is way to high and far back to be realistic.

That was Badnik who said he would.
My bad.

Oh, look at that, a FOTEPX bot dump.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96449BotDump.png)
I made all of these 2-3 months ago, I just recently got to posting them. IIRC, Endus Matrix is invertible and Toriodore Jr. was gonna be my BB3 entry if it wasn't for the god-awful AGOD.
-
Naaw who am I kidding you kids want an IRL bot
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19560El Hypnotizador.png)
Plastic 5 or something orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
And yes when I paint the chassis it'll have Sega sponsors

That is some of the worst AGOD I've ever seen.

Nice bots.
On the bw, surely you could upgrade the wheels?
Nice irl bot aswell, guessing it's not invertible? :P

Choose which one you want to see in BB4.

Neither, too many weapons on the VS and surely the HSs bar cuts off the top of the chassis.
-
Neither, too many weapons on the VS and surely the HSs bar cuts off the top of the chassis.
Yeah, I gotta raise the HS up a notch but the dreaded CBA stops me from doing so.
And I can just take some weapons off of the VS if you want
(But the wierd thing is that each robot has the same weapon weight and yet you're not complaining about the HS)
(And what the heck happened to my Beetlejuice lunchbox?)
-
Yeah it's not so much about weight, rather the compound amount on a weapon. i.e VSs usually have a few teeth, not 8. A Bar HS can have 2 weapons as "compound weapons".
-
HS would be better if spinner was higher and it was just a bar, or bar components (I heard somewhere that the 20 to 40 component has the same stats as an iron spike).
-
What about square-shaped drums? Do they count as 8 if they're split in half?
HS would be better if spinner was higher and it was just a bar, or bar components (I heard somewhere that the 20 to 40 component has the same stats as an iron spike).
I tried this, and guess what?

You try to make a good bot, you try to make it an IRL realistic bot that isn't crap, and guess what?

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19210normals.png)
-
You should pick the VS.
-
The disc flat HS looks overpowered, the drum is a nice agod right there, and why do you use such awful weapons as pole spikes is beyond me. Even for non-weapon uses.
Also... what's with the black cloak look and attempt at a Slasher Smile ? You're supposed to be naked in your vids.
Or just get rid of normals already.

Why did you do that? you don't get IRL building do you?
-
No, no no no no no. Change the weapons BACK to Cutting Teeth. You had a good design, and now you've wrecked it by changing the weapons. What did you use instead?
-
i like how foxpet tends to spam his own showcase while posting bots.
Also, cutting teeth are just plain bad. Except for looks.

Alright, alright, alright...
Sorry if I want my robots to NOT suck... Do keep in mind, it was me and Thy that started this IRLevolution in the first place.
-
That's not an evolution, that's a DOWNGRADE compared to your previous bots.
You do know you can build IRL, while building efficient ?
-
Do keep in mind, it was me and Thy that started this IRLevolution in the first place.
I was building like this before you were even a member here....
Your VS a couple of pages back might look better if you used a pair of large ripping teeth on one drum segment instead of the small teeth you have now.

e.g1 Dreamcster VS: Nice IRL base then you go and give it an 8 weaponed drum!

scrapped cuz the back wasn't long enough and I didn't feel like rebuilding it but considering all that is built off of 3 ME's I think it deserves some time in the limelight.

I'm not sure a trapping setup would work too well with a spinner like this one, the opponent would simply get knocked away. Perhaps if you had them simply flat, that might work better. I'd be a little worried about the side panels being knocked off too, but it looks alright apart from that. How is it with self-righting?

Actually, it's really good with self-righting. About the trapping system, the spinner isn't way out there. You have to come into the trapping system to get to the spinners, which thus gets them trapped. Either that, or the two plows hold the enemy against a wall while the spinner chips away at 'em. Side Panels, IDK, I can't think of a better way to get more weaponry on a bar. And most of the time it doesn't need to self-right, as thanks to the half-sheets, it's actually really stable.
-
A single HS trapper ? Trappers work much better with many small spinners, you know.

So people are saying that minimalist IRL DSL is dying...

How about ME+Poly Extender? Same weight, but withouy the sticky-out bit.

Wouldn't be able to get it at the right angle. I might try using a baseplate extender, that might do the trick.

Feasible Excuse looks pretty cool. I bet you could clean the extender work up a bit.

destructo's weapon is kind of off-center...

AGOD-plagued bot looks awesome.

I would look at a different way to attach the piglets on the MW- at the moment you're effectively lowering the HP of the piglets by a considerable amount and making it easier for bots to deweapon you.
-
those shell panels are weak iirc, easy hs food. Otherwise they're all actually pretty good.
destructo's weapon is kind of off-center...
wow how did you spot that you must have 20/20 vision woah
-
Destructo is clearly specialised to attach opponents approaching from the right. Not many builders would think of that.
For the first two drumbots, I would probably lose a few teeth, and definitely try to strengthen those side panels, otherwise they're going to get taken off sharpish. I tried making something like the HW a while back, but yours is a much better version. Not sure about the axles, though, a skirt hinge would work, wouldn't it?

Looks badass. If you tidy up the front extender work a little, so they don't overlap too much, that'd almost complete it. I prefer the first weapon, though, personally.
-
I very much like the way you've improved. you used to be very annoyimg but you have bekome a very good irl builder. love the new bot
-
IMO the first version looks better. Makes the extender mesh look less out of place.
Three thumbs up (third thumb not mine).
-
Great bot.
-
Love the blue disc.

In the case of you making different Hypno teeth colors, I'm interested in them for NAR AI.

New bot time~
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11900Zorro.png)
(Armour's like Alu 5 or something stupid just to take up the weight really oughta change it to Steel 3 or somethin' ah well do it tommorow)
Back into the shadows I go
To di world~
-
i should try that fllippermaker armor out sometime
-
Looks prett nice. Still loving the skinned hypno teeth.
-
Another cool bot.
-
Nice. could team up with my Monster.
-
Wow... Even I am impressed. I really love the reskinned teeth and The bot skin
-
Looks fantastic. Like a cross between Stealth and Shunt. Only small gripe I have are the Micro Wheels, personally. But it really does look like something from an early Robot Wars series. Great work.
-
Ok it's time for another FOTEPX IRL LW
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19979Lithium.png)
SOOOOO yeah
screw me senseless why the heck am i typing like reier
-
Not as good as your last 2 tbh.
-
IDK, reminds me of Sunshine Lollibot if it was a zombified LW.
-
...Damn
-
it's pretty cool. A bit messy though.
-
Looking like a nice concept, if a little messy, as Naryar said. Also slightly too fragile for my liking, stabilisers look like they might get taken off a bit too frequently. It'd be better if you had some other stuff skinned green, like the LDS teeth, or the wheels.
-
cool design but it could definitely be executed better.
-

...Hello?
-
plowless f-breed looks cool, can i see the insides?
-
dallas snake is waaay underweaponed, where did all the weight go?
-
I like the Challenger. Needs a different name and an awesome skin. (challenger has been used quite a few times I think) Good job though!
-
dallas snake is waaay underweaponed, where did all the weight go?
Probably to the Beta burst.
-
dallas snake is waaay underweaponed, where did all the weight go?

im pretty sure that the beta is is geared one, and therefore doesnt require 90+ kg for the batts
-

Yes indeed. I think the weight went not only to the Beta geared, but the pokers as well.

Nay, the MW doesn't have any pokers.
IIRC the MW had some Daft (Punk) amount of armour, like Steel 5 or somethin, and because of the abstract chassis shape, it just chewed up the weight.
I made the bot like 2 months ago how the heck am i meant to know what the armour and insides are hurrr
-
Hey, you made The Challenger! :D
Also I like that blue VS on the bottom and Dallas Snake. And the Echo Breaker remake :P
-
Anyways, quite liking The Challenger, good IRL design.
-
*posts deleted*
Let's just forget it ever happened, mmkay?
-
Gone for a little bit and you get stuff like this^. Anyways all the bots look cool. Like the invertible VS, Area 61, and F-breed.
-
how did you get the chassis like that on the lower left bot? (the purple one)
-
Turn it 90 degrees using the weapon.
-
GUESS WHO'S BACK
New bots coming in 2-3 hours.

It's been 2-3 hours...

Dat drum...
Though that Juggler doesn't look that good... Too fast and too less weaponry IMO.
-
Drum looks very nice. It's hard to tell if it's IRL or DSL, though. If it is IRL, then I'd probably get rid of the wedge, or move it back to make it shorter, it looks very flimsy at the moment. And I'd probably get rid of a few of the weapons as well, maybe have Beater Bars or Matilda Teeth instead of LDS Teeth. It looks very nice apart from that.
Juggler, though, I'd try to make wider. It looks long and narrow enough to be easily suceptible to flanking. Perhaps Piglets would be enough to power the spinners, Perms seem overkill, in my view. They're not going to throw opponents away at all.
-
Yeah that TS (it's a TS cuz it has an uneven number of motors :p ) is nothing special.
Far too much empty space, too powerful motors, not enough weapons, no armor, could do with more batteries.
For a decent builder like you it's bad.

Not bad. Chassis on juggler is too large. The plow, I think, is also to high.

I disagree, it kinda makes every other bot type redundant if they are the sole bot type where that applies (curse you Skidmark). I think there should be a bit of common sense applied.

I thought IRL was about looks and building close to reality, not weapon spam importance or not
-
It's fine, although if you guys are unhappy about its lack of IRL-ness, I'm pretty sure you guys wouldn't argue about that if he spammed Shark teeth instead.

The juggler's exposed edges still bother me, but it's at least twice as better than the old one.
IDK about the rammer. If it wins stuff, it's good enough for me hahahahahahahaha
-
Juggler looks better. I might try to make the front wedge a bit narrower so you don't have those bits sticking out of the corners for HS to hit.
-
Both looks fine to me.
-
You know you're in a bad situation when your Stock showcase is ore recent than your DSL one.
My goodness am I bored... Gotta find something to do...
I'll try building something...

-
Interesting weapon setup. Must be pretty bad in damage though.
Also this weapon doesn't look IRL at all.
-
Looks very cool. But yeah, something should be done about that weapon. Maybe drop to Tite 3, and get a cooler looking weapon, maybe a hexplate and Cutting Teeth or something like that.

M'kay. Looks ok enough. Like the wheelguards.

Another thing I noted...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIgfiSzCy1o#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIgfiSzCy1o#ws)
...You are mocking efficiency, then why are you using a mix of the most efficient weapon components for your weapon and efficient batteries in an "IRL" bot ?
Also why does that bot has only 3 ant batts when it needs 5 to be correctly powered IRL ? 3 ant batts = 3 spin motors, even if the game tells you otherwise, IS one of the hallmarks of DSL realistic.
Also why is the weapon's axle floating in the air without any support ? That's not IRL because in real life the belt would just fall, with the weapon as well.
You call yourself an IRL builder and mock efficiency but yet still build with DSL standard efficient building techniques ?
Adding wheelguards, decals and not using metal hinges doesn't make a bot IRL. An IRL bot is a bot that would work in real life just like AND just as well as it works in the game, with the exception of glitches,

Ok, Noob Bashing 101, Naryar.
If you're going to insult my bots for being rubbish, don't give the green flag to other robots that are worse off than this. That's called being hypocritical, Naryar, and you seem to have a quite a knack for being so. I mean, if you're gonna give THIS merits:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97308359.jpg)
For having a cool-ish chassis, and yet completely and utterly rip into mine when they are clearly two opposite sides of the (ZX) Spectrum, I might as well give up right here.
Also, TBH, I actually couldn't care less about 'Hurr fully powered' or not. It has 3 batteries and it works fine, and changing it would acheive nothing.
I used the efficient components for a reason, Nar. I was trying to demonstrate that efficient components are only efficient when used correctly. And as such, this robot's weapon is absolute crap.
The axle is floating in mid-air because 90% of the time the majority of the weapon's mass is inside the chassis, which would make the robot's belt support be the actual chassis, rather than additional extenders.
I never mocked efficiency, Naryar. I simply said that more often than not Efficiency and IRL mix like a black man at an EDL meeting. And are you honestly trying to tell me that there haven't been underpowered bots IRL? Is that really what you're trying to tell me, Nar?
TL;DR:
Get Out.

first, my bot was just made for a bit of fun and to have the irl feel that 259 had which is evident from the name if not the look.
second, nary probably knew this and if you had seen the post after that you would have seen that i tried to improve on the design while still keeping the IRL feel rather than having a rant at nary for giving constructive criticism

Y'know what, I can't be bothered arguing anymore. I'm just gonna go.

Ok, Noob Bashing 101, Naryar.
I didn't thought of you as a n00b, but if you define yourself as such... would explain your taking of criticism of a robot as a personal attack.
If you're going to insult my bots for being rubbish, don't give the green flag to other robots that are worse off than this.
1- I didn't insult your bot for being rubbish, I said it was less IRL than you thought.
2- I simply said that it had a cool chassis but too much empty space, how is this "giving the green flag ?"
3- Don't try and reject the blame by whacking someone lower than you on the social ladder, especially when he has done nothing wrong to you.
4-You seem to confuse your opinion with mine, or seem to think your opinion is universal. My comment, my opinion.
Also, TBH, I actually couldn't care less about 'Hurr fully powered' or not. It has 3 batteries and it works fine, and changing it would acheive nothing.
What you just said is a DSL realistic builder's point of view. From an IRL builder's it should be fully powered. Because IRL it would be less powerful that it is in DSL. It's a similar case to popups and jugglers, just less obvious.
I used the efficient components for a reason, Nar. I was trying to demonstrate that efficient components are only efficient when used correctly.
I agree, and you have made your point.
The axle is floating in mid-air because 90% of the time the majority of the weapon's mass is inside the chassis, which would make the robot's belt support be the actual chassis, rather than additional extenders.
Uh, what ? Have a look at your weapon sideways and you will see that not even half the mass of the weapon is inside the chassis at any time.
Besides, the axle of the motor is unsupported, as well as the belt. The axle would go out of the belt quickly.
I never mocked efficiency, Naryar. I simply said that more often than not Efficiency and IRL mix like a black man at an EDL meeting. And are you honestly trying to tell me that there haven't been underpowered bots IRL? Is that really what you're trying to tell me, Nar?
1- You still build semi-efficient on that supposedly IRL bot, and you say IRL and efficiency don't mix. Seems like hypocrisy to me.
2- The fact that they were underpowered real life bot doesn't mean your IRL bot should.
TL;DR:
Get Out.
Is that an argument or just you being aggressive ?

1-I'm not acting like I run the place, I am saying you are fooling yourself if you think your bot is only IRL.
2-Your post answering mine was easily as long as mine, so you have hardly the right to complain about my comment being supposedly "too long".

After quite a crapload of drama, I've decided to make some new stuff.
Some crap thing that I designed with the notion that 'It's from Series 1 of RW':
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85927The Tank.png)
Something that EVERYONE has done:

NAR AI, you can.
-
area 61 looks generic but pretty good, if you put the cb on top of all the ants you can shrink the chassis and probably get plastic 3 or something. i also like pac-bot
-
Tank looks pretty good, in my view. Perhaps the front should be wedges like the sides are, where the ramplates are attached. Maybe a pair of Piglets would be more efficient, as well as lighter.
Area 61 is excellent. What I might do is swap the DSL bar for a hexplate, and upgrade to Plastic 3. That'll offer better protection if something gets to the chassis, it looks a bit exposed at the moment.
Pac-Bot looks fantastic, I reckon. Not sure about the wheels out the back, I think they'd be better placed up near the front. And you could find a Namco logo online, and turn it into a decal yourself.
-
I know Classicus showcased something, but... I'm sorry, I couldn't keep something like this to myself for much longer.
Prepare your anus.

In terms of visuals, it's excellent. Hexplate Armour is actually pretty sick looking. If it's IRL, though, then Metal Hinges = Poor Show. If not, then you could probably use some more weaponry.

I am actually deeply sorry for the use of metal hinges, but without it, it was practically worthless.
It was outwedged by Red Alert.
OUTWEDGED. BY RED ALERT.

I suppose a steeply angled skirt hinge, like 40 degrees or so would work. Would definitely look better too.

yeah I agree. Nice armor though.

Is it invertible ? I can't say at all.
Also the skin doesn't fit with the hexplate armor.

Oh, so just because I use Metal Hinges, it's not IR-
Y'know, forget it I'm done. I honestly don't see how something as lack-luster as Pac-Bot can be praised MORE than something like this. I'm gonna go get some drinks and hopefully when I come back you all will have learnt to have calm your tits.
...I mean, seriously now?
-
Just get rid of the metal hinges, geez.
-
I think they look pretty cool. YOu can use metal hinges just give us a real life example.

PotO looks alright. Perhaps you could drop the armour to Plastic 3, and make the Small Wedges a bit wider, maybe by mounting them on seperate skirt hinges.
Excelsior just sucks.
-
Just get rid of the metal hinges, geez.
^This, you're overreacting man
just get rid of them and be done with it, use skirt hinge wedges if you're that desperate not to use a chassis wedge

Eh, you guys are right. I'll probably slam the wedges on some skirt hinges.
Excelsior just sucks.
Why?

I like the Road Rage one, and regarding IRL, that can be made in real life. Also, it's YOUR showcase, so YOU get to choose whether you can keep the hinges or not. I'd keep them.

Da, Badabadabadaba, Musique!
Next bit:
yeah bump up the armor or put some aesthetic sh** on the top, otherwise looks good.
Hmm yeah ok will do
-

FOUL LANGUAGE B&
but, the bot looks good, just improve the armor, i guess.

I think everyone should have the bot file because he spelt poison wrong in the splash :trollface
-
Oh hey Marty's right.
I still need that HW for your team FOTEPX.

Augh it's about time I got back into Regular DSL With a bot that's basic as all sh** but ah well

Looks pretty cool. I'm wondering if it would be worth dropping the armour a little in order to swap the Whyachi tribar with a hexplate and some DSL Bars. You're still within the Rule of 7, from the looks of things.

The thing with that is that the overall HP worries me with that setup, and I'm only saving 14.2kg's (with 20cm's), which would probably be enough to give it truly invincible bottom armour, but the HP, again, worries me.
With 30's, it saves only 4KG, which seems a bit pointless.
Another thing that worries me about this bot having a Hex + Bar setup is that this bot as-is can self-right, and I doubt it could do that if I give it DSL's...
Hmm. I might give it a try tommorow, actually. I'm doubting it'll improve it, but if it does, I'll take my hat off to you.
-
What concerns me is that anything with a wedge will get underneath and it may not destroy you (with the halfsheets and all) but it will render you helpless.

Ah. You forget the bumble ball campabilities of this bot, my friend. When flipped (Due to gyroscopic reasoning and the overall RA2 physics engine being wank), the bot always stays on it's side when it flies up into the air, much like how Sapiens does, but unlike Sapiens, can somehow selfright; which is odd, considering I've never seen a tri-barred robot self-right without help from other bots.
-
Just asking: How many batteries does it take to fully power a small JX? I keep forgetting the measurements for Small and Large JX's.
Cheers. ;)
-
5 for a Small JX, 7 for a Large JX. =)

Absolutely digging that wild HS. How about rotating the weapons down 2 notches (or 3)? At least it won't be too helpless against a really shallow wedge.

Ah, yes. Why not do an upgrade to the originator of IRL Metal Hinge wedges, and get myself decapitated again by the IRL 'fanbase'?
Freakin' hate fanbases. Them and their rules and regulations can Pop-Shove It.
-
So you are afraid to post stuff here because of the opinion of others ??
-
I honestly don't care about metal hinge wedges as long as they look like they belong on the bot, so why not post it.
@Nar it seems to have degraded to this...
-
So you are afraid to post stuff here because of the opinion of others ??
Well, what's the point of posting a bit if all I'm going to get is scathing criticizm for something that actually makes the bot better? And It's not being afraid, it's having next to no motivation. You wouldn't want to post a bot if you had to squash a 3-page flame war over a wedge.
Sorry if I'm being a drama llama, but the amount of butthurt people feel over a simple 10kg wedge attached to a simple 12kg hinge is driving good builders away from the IRL designs department. You people act like crazy-ass designs don't exist IRL, or something.
-
atm theres no strict guidelines for what qualifies for irl and its definition is objective, which is why everyone argues that certain bots are or arent irl (see: naryars showcase, dragonslayer in blades of fury 2, chocolate in ra2 olympics london)
BASICALLY irl is a mess because ppl disagree over EVERYTHING
-
I have to agree, there really need to be some IRL guidelines made.

In real life, a skirt on a hinge does not get outwedged by a steel wedge mounted on a doorhinge every time. It's more of random chance. The issue is that they are unrealistically effective in function.

What would deal with this problem is an IRL component set that reduces the OP-ness of certain components (mostly wedges) and that would get rid of ridiculous outweaponing.

Trouble is, people who are capable at doing this are already working on their own projects.
Such as Gaz on RA2INBOW (even though he's actually still working in this in his spare time), JoeBlo on Backlash and Click on DSL3...
YOU WANTED THIS TO BE A SECRET, DIDN'T YOU, GAZ? GUESS WHAT? PAYBACK'S A BIG MEANY.
-
ra2inbow is pretty much dead
backlash is dead (rip)
dsl3 is going to balance out the components but its in development heck
-
What happened to DSL 3? Did it become too difficult, did Click run out of time to do it in or is it going but so slowly it won't be out in forever?

I discussed the idea with Conraaa a while ago. Should just be a matter of adjusting the component settings we have currently so that they're much more difficult to break (just a matter of fracture adjustment) and by increasing the power of DSL bars and other underpowered weapons. It's also probably possible to increase the weight of single weapons like spikes and to dramatically increase their damage ratings so instead of mounting a tonne of weapons on a rammer you can, you add a single, heavy, powerful spike.
-
Alternatively, you can remove all weapons without normals completely, and add fracture to everything else.

Guess who?

Fallout originally started as a replica of Team 259's Series 7 entry, which was basically 259 and Warhead having a baby, but then evolved into it's own thing to fit it within LW constrictions while still being damage-effective. It's 100% IRL, but uses Cheatbot2 parts, so some of you might hate it for that. But, ah well.
I feel like I've forgotten something off the splash. Can't put my finger on what, though.
Insides are just a flatmotor powering the blade, 2 6-cell Darkrats, and some astro's driving those Wide ants.
(Apologies for the crap skin: If you read my 'I'm Back!' page, you'd understand.
If you haven't read it, I'll sum it up in a nutshell:
I've lost my old RA2 folder. ALL MY BOTS HAVE GONE WITH IT. That's over 2,000 bots, and over 2 years of work, gone because OP's hard drive felt like being a twat.
So, that sucks nuts. Anyway, onwards and upwards!)

Freakin' love the tail. And the side wedges.

Get an external hard drive. Anyways nice to have you back. Cool bot too.

Great appearance on that bot. Particularly the tail and side arms, it gives it an anthropomorhic appearance, almost. Like some sort of crustaceous creature.

Guys, bad, bad news.
I was halfway through making new bots for both DSL and Stock, when my computer BSOD'd. While with my stock bots I saved them before the crash, with DSL I didn't, and my one and ONLY backup copy of DSL 2.1 was destroyed. I managed to somehow recover the Textures and Teams folder from the smoldering wreck, but nothing more. My question is this:
Can anyone please link me to a copy of DSL 2.1 with Live Designs AI (LDAI) Pre-installed? I've already tried downloading DSL 2.1 from Sage's signiture, and since my computer is the biggest pile of crap known to man, when it full-screens, my computer BSOD's. So, anyone, help me out here.
Thank you.
-
There's a regular copy in AwesumSauce's sig. I'll send you a LDAI copy if you really want.

stock is in my sig

Anyway, bots. Some people return with awesome bots. Some people return with sh** bots. I return with "I don't care what you think" bots. I'm only doing this stuff Semi-Realistically, at best. If anything, they look good, and that's about it.

Ok, maybe censor your post a little. Anyways, the LW is kinda thin but the design is nice. The HW is really good, just needs some sort of wedge on the flipper for function and look.
-
Neither of them are my cup of tea... You could improve by skinning the first bot and making the wedge to match the flipper arm on the second one

Thanks, Meganerdbomb. I always knew I could count on you. :3
Now, comments on the bot, plz?

It looks really cool, but I'm assuming the only thing making it a heavyweight is all that random crap on the back of it, which is helping it look cool, but not doing much else.
-

Yeah, as stated in the splash, the actual bot without all the unnesescary junk is a MW, at 393.8. I could actually showcase the original MW model, if you want.
-
You might as well.
-
I thought you left.
-
The bot, honestly, looks cool... but it's really messy.
Unnecessary crap on an IRL bot is usually justified. But that design doesn't strike me as IRL-intentioned.
If you are shooting for an efficient bot, then ditch the crap and simply make it a MW. If you are aiming for an IRL bot... ditch the plows and use some thing that flows more realistically (shape some arms with angled wedge connectors or something?)
I gotta say, it is visually striking. I will give you that... but it just seems lost in the middle of both building styles.
-
Looks very Decent IMO.
-
I missed the flipper. You may shorten the flipperarm to attach a small wedge or something to get under stuff more easily

Used in this concept, it's not actually not bad. The 400DPS is amazing in battle, and considering that only the claws are hitting and not the palms, it works pretty well.
also it makes cool looking scratches that are IRL and sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
-
so... you finally got that "yellow sh** coming out of your eyes" taken care of?
the bot looks decent enough, aside from the fact that bear claws/more-or-less any animal parts dont exist t in irl combat

DSL3 isn't something I can just leap into, understand. It took me a good fortnight or so for me to get my own style in the DSL2 IRL scene, and moving that over to DSL3 isn't a walk in the park.

I'll tidy it up in a bit.

ok champ

Nonsense. I jumped into DSL3 in 30 minutes while drinking.
This pinion stuff is actually pretty easy... it's just a burst, nothing more.
Stop trying to find excuses not to build DSL3, at least find us believable ones if you don't want to build DSL3.

Plus, you ain't gonna get jack if you're gonna talk to me like that, buck-o.

Dude you are building IRL. Your bot could have look exactly the same on DSL3.
The only major difference is you gotta make room for anchor points.

I'd give that up to the custom textures/surface layers I've been working on - basically fade-ins and fade-outs of various metal textures at various hues. I might also make different colours and release it as a pack sometime.
Need to make a good scratch fade and rivet fade, but doing rivets as a surface layer doesn't work because of the way that RA2 stretches textures rather than looping them :realmad(

I'm probably going to build a second version of this with a bigger and better motors, 'cuz even though everything works the bot's so crap that it might as well just be for show ::2mad

I like how you made sure the wedge looked IRL by keeping it flush with the slope of the chassis, and the slots for the wheels look really good. My only criticism is that the piglet is a little exposed at the front, otherwise I really like it.

Oh god, really? Geez, it's been too long.
Anyway, I'm gonna upload a bot every day from here on out until I run out of bots to show you guys. Why not.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73916Paradime IV.png)
Probably the most optimized a LW HS can be at this point, until someone makes a version using just a Batterypack and an ant, and spents the rest of the weight on Tite 3. There's something for you to do, if you lack inspiration!
-
Day 2 of this, and already we're entering "stupidly generic" teritories.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83310Seismic Activity.png)
Actually a bit better than it looks, thanks to the buffs hammers recieved, but could still be gutripped to oblivion. Tite 5.
-
Yo those shell panels are vulnerable.
Yo bottom armour + stabilisation > 4WD. How stable is it though?
-

Yo bottom armour + stabilisation > 4WD. How stable is it though?
Not very much. In a recent revision, I downgraded to regular NPC's to tack on some bottom armour, and dropped it to Alu 5. The shell panels rarely, if ever, get knocked off in battle before the hammers do.
-
yea, i agree with scorp here

Made my own version of KingofKings696's MW spinner.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33078Really Mad Guy.png)
Spins around like *insert something that spins around a lot here*. Got some other robots to show you, although I'll do that later.
-
Hey for once my bot was the cloned not the clone yay!! lol looks pretty good
-
i know its a joke bot but small chassis HS with huge weapons (especially a single bar) make them insanely unstable
the weapon just catches on the ground when hit and the chassis spins so it doesn't do damage

Y'know, you just got me thinking - which weapon would be most effective on a shell spinner in DSL 2.2?
-
no idea I haven't played 2.2 much
-
I reckon flails are still the best thing ever.
-
flails seem to be de-weaponed more easily in 2.2. you can kill some of the old shell spinners and fsns with mw rammers, though that might have more to do with razors just being crap
-
Huh, didn't realise Frenzy hammers were "trending" on GTM...but yeah you may have gone a bit too far in a few places lel
Also, I imagine flails will still be good on some bot types, they're just more niche in 2.2.
-
Pretty crazy design I made a few hours ago.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78637Paying Mantis II.png)
Really proud of this one - despite AGOD, the wedge works amazingly well, and the weapon set-up is suprisingly efficient at gut-ripping other robots, in part due to a caster at the back providing a very sturdy balance. Really happy with how this one turned out.
-
Neat littlea design. Looks cool as well.
I'm not sure about those new DSL2.2 VS teeth that you put on the middle of the discs though. Maybe put something else so it actually has more reach/looks better ?
-

Alright, I'll try and find something that foots the bill.
For future reference, here's every weapon in DSL 2.2 that doesn't have normals:
Iron Spike
Razor Tip
Mace
All Hammers (including M.O.E. Hammer and Meat Tenderizer)
All Beater Bars
Sir Killalot Drill
Tornado Spike
Lightning Spike
Iron Fist

A simple, but effective Drum bot which is better than NAR AI's current offerings - this is THWOK!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58951Thwok!.png)
Steel 3, 796.4 - you could probably upgrade to 55KG hammers if you shortened the wheelbase and downgraded to Titanium sheets, but it's not really worth it for general combat.
BTW Nary, when I say "NAR AI's current offerings", I'm on about WIIIDE LOAD from NAR AI's DSL 2.1 expansion. Don't sweat it, I'm pretty sure the newest version of Wide Load will still be a challenge.
-
I like your idea but the hammers feel off to me the way they are on there like thwy arent turned to have a consistent pattern
-
it looks tight but does it have top/bottom protection
on my bot aneurysm (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60746annyalpha50.png) i found out i needed it badly
-
I like your idea but the hammers feel off to me the way they are on there like thwy arent turned to have a consistent pattern
The pattern actually is consistent, with every attached hammer being 90 degrees in an X-style shape - kinda hard to see from that angle though, so you're justified. It performs perfectly well in it current pattern, but I guess it could look a bit more aesthetically pleasing.
it looks tight but does it have top/bottom protection
on my bot aneurysm (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60746annyalpha50.png) i found out i needed it badly
I was gonna up the armour or add top/bottom protection, but I couldn't do that without downgrading to 45KG's, which unbalance the whole drum and look pretty stupid. I could remove 2 50KG hammers and go heavy on the armour, but I think it'd remove the combat effectiveness. I'll get back to you on that.
-
Just finished making Thwok!'s cousin, Thwack!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64500Thwack!.png)
same internals, 795.5, with 45KG hammers this time, and Plastic 10. Now protected with THICC™ bottom and top protection - four 80X100 Polycarb sheets protect the top and bottom of the 'bot, for a total of 24,000HP's of protection. Can last noticeably longer in grueling fights now, despite the slight drop in DPS. Cheers, Reier!
There's been more upgrades since this one, but I don't wanna be triple-posting - it's already bad enough that I double-posted, let alone dragging this out further.
-
no one exactly cares about multiple posting in showcases as long as it's the owner posting bots
i much prefer the first bot. second one appears crippled weaponwise and like it can't really lift stuff efficiently but i may be wrong
-

The second one is actually more efficient in terms of a long-term battle, and the DPS doesn't really suffer much between the hammer setups.
I've never considered Drumbots to be efficient at lifting things, and never designed the bot with that in mind, really.

Royd Rage. 798.6, 3 Reinforced Perm 80's running 6 full-size Mechavore discs. Titanium 10, NPC Fast's. Inside are two WP836E's.
Complain.
In a bizarre twist of events, a Perm 80 powering 2 full-size mechavore discs has the same spinup speed and total speed as a Perm 132 powering 3 full-size mechavore discs. Fancy that.

SNS are sometimes allowed but it's rather rare. I'm surprised that Mecha Discs and Frenzy Ham's aren't banned yet.

Enhh, I re-did it today, and make it better - bulked out the chassis and swapped out all anchors (The two 3kg ones on either side and the 2kg one holding on the armour plate) for baseplate anchors (1kg), which allowed me to get an Alu armour plate on the front instead of just poly.

DSL-S, anyone?
(https://i.imgur.com/bBQLZNK.png)
Serpenterror. 798.6, Tite 3, internals below-
(https://i.imgur.com/QKPHZMp.png)
That plastic wedgelet trapper thing on the top also doubles as a srimech, and the wedginess is very good. Positives, can do more damage than a popup in a shorter amount of time, negatives, need to waste KG's on a srimech. Still, it's been a long-ass time since I've even seen a DSL-S popup, so... Enhh.
(https://i.imgur.com/bZd3hyE.png)
Taranchula. Rebuild of my older "Texas Cloverleaf" design. 799.1, Plastic 5, internals are 2 NPC Fast's and 3 battlepacks. Used to have crappy wedges, but turning the entire chassis 180 to make the wheels at the back and the main amount of weight where the hinges are seems to have turned it from coal into a diamond in the wedginess department. The axe does 2000-6000 damage a swing, and is very durable. Only downside is that self-righting takes a long time, and although it turns very quickly, getting around to the back of the plows and ripping them off that way is a problem. Put some Heavy Metal Teeth there to try and compensate, but I still think it could be an issue if it came up against a good driver or lucky AI.

Well, I built these bots a few months ago, with the intention of them being DSL-S... Let's pop the trunk and have a look!
(https://i.imgur.com/TuWi41K.png)
...Hm. Interesting. It appears what I've done is crossed the belts over one another, to give the impression that the axle is straight out in front rather than being on a belt. I'm guessing I did this to give the FS some oomph ('cuz the only motor with this sort of power that has the motor and axle in the same place is the E-Tek and Tornado Mer's, both of which are too big for this application), but looking at it, yeah, they are a bit close... Might rebuild this one too, then.

Dharma II - 398.1 - Aluminium 3. Rebuild of Shogun from NAR AI. Now a Splinter clone, and surprisingly effective. Had to waste a lot of weight on batteries, though - over 50KG's of batteries, and it can only last the full 3 minutes if it's conservative with it's weapon firings.
Still, I really like the concept of Bushido. In fact, the bot's so nice, I rebuilt it twice!
(https://i.imgur.com/sWcrKg4.png)
Shobogenzo - 397.2 - Tite 3. Obviously an IRL bot, which means less effective, but still enough to pose a challenge if regular DSL Bushido is your benchmark. I really like the way how the wheelguards look like the arches of a Torii if looked at from the right angle.

Enhh, the original DSL version had 'ems, and everything else is close enough to IRL... I could just drop 'em if they're that much of a fuss, it ain't particularly wedgy anyway.
Thoughts on Dharma, while I have your attention?
Also, thoughts on possibly rebuilding all the DSL MW's to be DSL-S standard, using NAR AI and DSL 2.1 as a base? I've already done Bushido and Iceberg, so I mean I'm already like an eighth of the way there...

Those skirts aren't IRL. If you want to have skirt wedgyness in IRL you can use my invisible polycarbonate sheet (https://gametechmods.com/forums/modifications/invisible-40-polycarb-panel/).
To be honest I'm not a fan of either, although I much prefer Dharma. As for feedback, Dharma just looks too thin for a gutripper to me, although I guess the weapon layout helps a ton with that. Also, only the centre AP of the skirt hinge is 'wedgy', so the wedge is gonna be trash when using all 3.
The skirts on sushihanzo aren't really IRL but my bigger gripe is with the wheelguards, they kinda just look tacked on like on one of lra2's IRL bots (no offense to either of you). They're like wings with how they barely interface with the chassis at all, but not in an awesome "yo that bot has wings" way. I'd look into more seamlessly integrating the wheelguards with the chassis.

Yeah, I mean, I expected to need a wider weapon setup and setup in general for Dharma to be effective, but the side swords do a good job of bringing the bots into the middle for it to do the most damage. The wedge isn't too bad on it, actually, and serves it's purpose, so that's not a fuss for me.
Nyeh. Back to the drawing board with Shobogenzo, then. See what I can do to make them more appealing.

Might as well showcase the rebuilt bots for DSL 2.3 thus far so you know what you're up against.

Starting with the most Non-IRL one, the Bear rebuild. More of a trapper than ever before, but still quite underweaponed. More of a control bot than anything.

Iceberg looks relatively the same, apart from the wedge at the front. They say they have a surprise this time around, though...

Top Dog's trimmed most of it's spare weight to become a "break your fist with my face"-type affair.

Insane Berserker's calmed down a bit and gone back to it's roots - and is now surprisingly a lot more dangerous now that it has stability.

Insanity's updated it's front armour and added wedgelets to the back and sides so it doesn't get stuck.

Samurai's pretty much stayed the same, just using 2.3-style panels.

Scout's downgraded back to one flipper, but with a large VDMA powering it, it packs more of a punch than first glance'd gather.

And BOT-205's doubled the amount of saws it has. Still can't self-right, though. Aww.

Awesome!
