Title: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Gazea2 on March 24, 2010, 11:19:29 AM
Hi, everyone! After the "success" of my stock showcase I decided to make one for DSL.

This first bot, to get it as good as I could, I had to rebuild it 5 times. I'm going to enter it into the tournament "Tag Team Tornado".
Here it is:

It is fully A.I-ed (thanks to G.K and his patience  :p ).
Rate and comment as usual!

Remind me how heavy the axles are.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Badnik96 on March 24, 2010, 03:26:55 PM
Only needs 2 ants, substitute the 2 axles for a wedge, and put on grippier wheels (Pokers are all about speed)
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: G.K. on March 24, 2010, 03:28:16 PM
Grannies have very good grip. That said, change to vlads or technos, they are grippier.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Naryar on March 25, 2010, 05:58:35 AM
Get 2WD and vlads/hypnos. You are just wasting weight with 4WD.


Also lighten your extender work. Omni connectors fail.

Alumilium sucks,Change to plastic 5 or 10.Titm 5 might do the trick.
Swap the T connctor for a sideways extender.
Change from steel or titanium exdenders for alumilium exdeders then add more weapons.

Anyway what IS the armor, it could be aluminum or it could be the texture, please specify.

Sorry, I forgot to say. The armour is 5mm aluminium.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: russian roulette on March 25, 2010, 03:52:25 PM
That is fine then. Aluminum 5 and steel 5 are the only good ones in their groups Plastic and Tite 5 suck(1, 3 , and 10 don't).

Alu chassis armor fails whatever the weight is.


You still have 10 kg to work with - it might be worth it to use just a hex plate directly on the piston, then use 2 60kg hammers.

What's the armor? if its Aluminum 3 (which it probably is) upgrade it to Titanium 3. You have the weight.

Ok. :)

So, how's my bot?

(Also are you interested in that tournament I posted?)
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: JoeBlo on May 20, 2010, 11:14:11 AM
hmm .....

the flame throwers would do much on the SnS since they feel the front of the blows

and the FS looks quite nice but perhaps under weapon-ed.. whats the weight?

and the tournament seems kinda cool.. if I have something to enter or an idea to build I will enter  :gawe:
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Gazea2 on May 20, 2010, 11:18:04 AM
How should I change the Sns? (The flamethrowers do fall off quite a lot.)

The FS' weight is 380/390 something. I need to shrink the chassis a lot and maybe downgrade the armour.

Thanks for the comments on the tournament. When do you think I should start the signups?
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: JoeBlo on May 20, 2010, 11:23:00 AM
when your ready to host, AI, make videos and not bail :P

as for the SnS reduce the chassis to a 2x2 cube or something more compact... slightly shorter weapons, invertible and play around with it from there
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Gazea2 on May 20, 2010, 11:23:33 AM

Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Pwnator on May 22, 2010, 08:47:32 AM
Instead of having such heavy extender work, just use a weapon slave so you can probably upgrade the armor or add some more weapons.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Naryar on May 22, 2010, 09:20:47 AM
Apart from the honestly fail weapon extender work, not bad.

After what Pwnie said, You might want to look at 123's NAR AI flail SnS.

Doesn't look like R.O.B. :P



I like it btw. Looks really good. Perhaps lose the skis and add moar weapons/armour.

Post by: Gazea2 on June 26, 2010, 09:58:32 AM
LOL, I'm working on my BTTB bot now. :P

And the armour is 3mm Aluminium. I'm thinking of improving the armour and adding moar harpoons.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!

OK, here's the draw:

  • Gazea, you are rebuilding R0B0SH4RK's bot R.O.B..   You must make a HW that looks reasonably like R.O.B.

^Those were my rules so it doesn't matter if it deviates too much, does it?^
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: G.K. on June 26, 2010, 11:00:44 AM
Not close enough, I'm afraid. Lose like 2 flails/razors and make the head a bit more R.O.B. like. But it's most of the way there to being accepted.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!

Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: 123savethewhales on June 26, 2010, 04:03:32 PM
You should get rid of those poly extenders and just connect the ski to the multi directly.

But if you ask me top/bottom armor are more important than side armor.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Naryar on June 26, 2010, 05:29:31 PM

I thought the hammers passed through the extenders holding the motors on. I think you should do more damage if it's turned round, not sure how, though.
 
Anyway, it flips whenever the weapon motors are spinning. What can I do apart from getting a wider wheel base?

When you say flips, I'm assuming it flips vertically forwards, not topples over sideways, so it might be due to the AGOD.

Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Naryar on September 03, 2010, 12:27:32 PM
It flips because the spinners are asymmetric due to AGOD. Rebuild them.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: SKBT on September 03, 2010, 12:28:38 PM
Skirt hinges are bouncy and building something that needs stability is never a good idea. Try rebuilding with smaller weapon bars and attaching the frontal supports with something like a multi extender.

Nope, they don't pass through the extenders. And about the hammers.... I remember reading somewhere about how RA2 calculates damage. It said that it calculates damage by surface area of the weapon in contact with the other bot so, if it does, it should do more damage this way. Can anyone else back me up?

Yep, but G.K. said...

Longer back stabilizer.

So, it's probably a combination of both. :P

P.S - Guess what the bot is called? Y.A.M.C. That stands for:

Yet
Another
Mako
Clone

Probably. It should function fine like that.

This time I made a heavyweight rammer:

I made sure that I used a variety of weapons on this one. 6 NPC fasts w/ hypnos, 9 ants etc.

Pyrocumulonimbus survived? LOLWUT it only has 12 razors and 3 irons (not even enough for a MW :P)

Why use T connectors when 10kg beaters can do the same thing? :P


And go for 6 ants so you don't have to use such a large chassis.

There's 3 ants and 1 battlepack. You need more than 2 ants to power 2 BSGs.

That 4.5 kgs might be important.  As long as you have a couple ants in addition to any battlepacks you're using, to provide electotal, I think battlepacks are a valid battery choice.

I think he's confused by the tribar. Are you using an ME to attach it or a motor? In which case, does it havok a lot?

I think, though, you need to focus your razors on one side of the discs, but I've got no idea how you could do that.

Post by: NFX on September 02, 2011, 11:15:12 AM
Techno Destructo Wheels give the best grip (2.3, IIRC) for the weight (32kg), and its small diameter means a lower ground clearance and better stability. For the lighter weight classes, however, it would be best to use Hypno Wheels or - if weight or havok is a serious issue - Mini Wheels or Wide/Large Ant Wheels.

I'd personally drop the armour, and upgrade the drive and wedges, as people have said. I'd also have the weapons spinning the other way, they're going to bite down onto the opponent, rather than kick them up into the air so you can get under them and score more points.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!

that chassis...

if you swap the disk for a halfplate so you get a wider stance and protection and then put the perm on the halfplate, change the disk for a hexplate and put a skirt or something on the otherside of the perm to protect it.

and vlads would help if you manage to find some weight.

Hooray for much cleaner setups! Tite 5, fully realistic.

I hope those are normal NPCs, they have tons of HP, while the fast ones have nearly none. Also, you shouldn't have the spinners so wide. A skinny robot or a VS blade will drop straight onto your chassis because they will be too skinny for the spinners to hold away. Tite 5 or not, a small chassis like that can't take much of a beating.

Angle the chasis back a bit to take advantage of the invincible bottom armor, connect the perm off the attachment point on the front right of the 1/2 sheet with a 20cm extended to center it. This will lower the weapon a bit and make it slightly less awkward.

You also might want to just attach a 80cm alu sheet as a stabilizer off the polycarb sheet instead of the flipper maker/20cm sheet setup you've got now.

Ahh, thanks for the advice. I've now added an 80cm tite sheet in the middle and have changed the NPC Fasts back to normal NPCs.

It needs to be that tall for the half-sheet.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59076lw popup.PNG)

I've just been trying out this skirt setup. 5 ants, plastic 3, buckets of fail
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: NFX on January 14, 2012, 11:25:10 AM
I really like that setup, nice and compact. Perhaps you could use some of the remaining weight to beef up the skirts, though, you could definitely do better than poly and alu. I'd say you only need one Metal Hinge in the center as well, that might help with the wedginess of it. Could probably do with being a bit wider too, would that be possible?
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Gazea2 on January 14, 2012, 11:32:01 AM
Thanks. I probably can make it wider and beef up the skirts. I just need to rebuild it first as it won't open up for some reason. >.>
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: ty4er on January 14, 2012, 11:34:28 AM
i don't really see any need to widen it, seems good enough for me.

Go with one wedge and way more frontal armour.

Waaay more frontal armour, one wedge (DSL bar + small wedge), 3 razors, 5 ants, plastic 3. 247.something. The skirt on top protects the BSG AND it can still self right! :D
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!

Looking excellent now. I do like the skirt on top, that's a nice feature. How often does it come into play?

If ra2 allows you put 2 normal skirts on

still not as much armour as mine but whatever

Seems to come into play quite often. It deflects hits well and protects the motor. Mission accomplished. :D

Shh. :P
I could put 2 normal skirts on but they wouldn't protect the motor as well. Plus, 2 tite skirts make it overweight.

The wedge seems to be good. It managed to 2HKO the LW popup in 123AI.

Same setup. Can self right pretty well and the wedge is quite good. NPC normals (I have the weight to upgrade so I may as well), 10 razors, 8 ants, tite 3.

Need some ideas that'll eat up the rest of the weight.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67004hw popup DSL.PNG)

HW popup with the same setup. I made this a few days ago and can't remember how many razors/ants it has (I think it has 18 ants...ish). Again, I need help eating up the weight. Tite 5 or something like that.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79632IRL MW.PNG)

And finally, an IRL fail! It looks reaaaaally bad. NPC drive, perm for the weapons, tite 3... ish. Can anyone give me any tips on how to skin it well?
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: ty4er on January 17, 2012, 12:22:14 PM
needs way more armour for the heavyweight.  Double wedges for the middleweight would make it stabler and wedgier.

and IS THAT CB STACKED INTO THE ANTS

Post by: Gazea2 on January 17, 2012, 12:24:36 PM

So steel skirts for the HW and double wedges for the MW?

Nope, although I do admit that it looks like it from this angle. xD
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: martymidget on January 17, 2012, 12:27:09 PM
Titanium sheets are the way forward for the HW. It just looks too skinny for me tbh xD

Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: madman3 on January 17, 2012, 12:36:50 PM
The HW is far too narrow, any SnS will kill it. Widen it by quite a bit and add some titanium sheets for armour, or even some heavy ploughs if you can mount them in an appropiate way. Also I'd use an Obzen style multiextender setup to mount the weapons.

Yeah, it looks terrible. Was this perhaps intended for BoF2? I'd just find a really cool texture on Google or something, it's what I do for most of my bots.

For the IRL bot, use different wheels and make the extender work less bulky.

Thanks for the comments. Updated versions of all of them will follow. For now, I'll leave  you with this:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48905sir k vs.PNG)

3 ants, plastic 3. During testing, the skirts came off a lot so I upgraded them to tite, which I fear is a bit over the top. The weapon is working a treat.

What's your weapon extender work ? Apart from it being a dark component, I can't make much out of it.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: ty4er on January 18, 2012, 10:49:29 AM
needs more drive


Maybe a shell panel on the front aswell

I have a feeling it's a hex plate

Correct, it is indeed a hex plate. The drive... well, I thought it might tip over too much. I'll change it.

You should use the leftover weight on more armor or better wheels.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: MassimoV on January 18, 2012, 09:55:00 PM
This thing is getting weirder and weirder. You really need to make your chassis smaller. You can still put the disc on off the back usind a ME and a 20cm extender.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Gazea2 on January 19, 2012, 11:27:05 AM
Hopefully this is a decent update:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76279lw vs update.PNG)

Changes:
Perm attached via a hex plate with an ant blade to protect it.
A tite skirt is protecting the perm.
Smaller chassis.

Plastic 3, mini wheels etc etc
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!

Tite 3.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: ty4er on January 20, 2012, 10:38:08 AM
uh why is the panel attached to a cf, just rotate the me, the ap's are a bit crazy. Also move it down a bit so it covers the whole chassis and you can use a smaller one for less weight. With that you can upgrade the 7.5kg beaters (are they? i cant really tell)

That had better be a perm 132, otherwise it's pretty good.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Gazea2 on January 20, 2012, 10:53:54 AM
Yup, perm 132. For some reason, the panel wouldn't attach but I'll try rotating it and, yes, they are 7.5 beaters. :D
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!
Post by: NFX on January 20, 2012, 11:09:58 AM
I would definitely lose the Lightning Spikes and Beater Bars. The VS weaponry's going to knock your opponent away before it gets a chance to hit them. I'd personally get rid of them, and try to get some better weaponry on the VS.
Title: Re: Gazea2's DSL Showcase!

Not sure what to do with the extra weight. 'Tis realistic as IRL you could get rid of the parts that intersect the perm.

HS built off of the same setup as my VS'. Seems to cope pretty well.

LW Rammer w/ NPCs + hypnos. Plastic 3 or something like that.

Upgrade the sheets for the heavyweight.
The weapons look as though they have not enough reach to actually do much for the lw.
Is it invertible? I'd swap the iron for something else personally.

You shouldn't be putting it there then...
Yeah, it does a load of damage and seems to outweapon quite a few bots in NAR AI.

Yeah the Randomiser was a good idea. Gonna use it to build some more DSL bots now.
Just ran a few matches (lawl you butthurt Badnik? :P) and it didn't get stuck on its front. Fully invertible too. :D

Yeah it does do a nice bit of damage. I'll test it against some popups.

Does well in combat but you need to pause it as the piston axle disappears. Needs a rebuild methinks.

Does the fact that it doesn't have a wedge hurt it's combat ability ?

Yes and no. I'm guessing it'd be better against popups with a wedge (I tried adding one but AGOD D:) but without one it does a good job at deweaponing them.

Angling them more resulted in bots not even getting to the main weapon rack.

actually angling them less makes the bot wider and a lot easier to trap bots. though it does equally make it easier to escape which is why drive is rather important (npc fasts are probably the least you could get away with). and what gaz said

Wedgier! Weapon-er! Wider! Gazzy-er!
After testing, I found it got swept away by Ruffles' terrible CW "Vortex" SNS in general, so I removed 2 NPC fasts, changed to technos and made it wider, as well as improving the wamming rack.

Another revision. It seems to kick itself up whenever the BSG's fire, and they need to fire just before another bot gets onto the wedges so that it can trap them, which ends up ruining the bot. On this version I extended the back stabiliser by 40cm, moved the BSG's in and back and swapped to hypno's, but it still kicks up a reasonable amount. Only solutions I can think of are to swap to a hammer style (no pls), drop the drive down (probably the best option) or to limit the BSG firing arc (but it still kicks up then). Halp?

hooray for underused weapons, tbh I just wanted to use the PA spikes
-Triple hybrids will be given a +20kg weight cushion.
-Bots equipped with flamethrowers will be given a +30kg weight cushion. It stacks with the triple hybrid bonus.

I mean I guess this could pass as a wammer/FS/flamethrower thing? It's 449 kgs so uh
honestly I should probably move the piglets back but it's so coooooooool with swordz
