Welcome  :gawe:

It's not that bad actually, i see you have been lurking.
If you change the wheels to techno destructo wheels and have just one arm pointing out from the chassis instead of sidewards and fill if with razors you may be able to get it down to a Middleweight.
Use the multi extender for the other piston or have a plus shaped chassis and mount the pistons inside the chassis, you only need the big yellow control board aswell and maybe downgrade the armour if you need weight.

Post by: Badnik96 on December 24, 2011, 08:17:39 AM
Not terrible. If you want a trinity poker then I would suggest using Techno Destructo wheels as they are one of the grippiest and will make your bot move faster.

Post by: MassimoV on December 24, 2011, 01:13:08 PM
I don't know if I'm missing something but you need some air tanks to fire the pistons.

Post by: cephalopod on December 24, 2011, 01:17:17 PM
Trinity's don't need them.

One thing I thought though, with the arms spinning... will all those end-of-arm razors hit anything? I dunno much about Trinity spinners but surely they wouldn't hit anything.

Oh ok. Anyways, you can shrink the chassis, use 2 ants, replace the baseplate anchors with me's, and IDK why it doesn't trinity?
Title: Re: Gropaga's DSL Showcase
Post by: Reier on January 07, 2012, 12:17:08 AM
There are plenty of people who really know what they are talking about. :D

DON'T WORRY, I AM HERE.

It's probably not trinitieinning because the weapons aren't long enough (centrifical force yadda yadda), but you know, it really doesn't need to. That's not a trinity design - if you wanna go full trinity, you'd probably just make the extenders go straight out from the pistons and make all the weapons face one way, kinda like this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78083fdasdfasdsadsdff.png)
(Note though, I'm pretty sure you only need the smallest piston to trinity, saves weight)
The way you've got your weapons right now is more rammer-style than SnS (SitNSpinner).

Good job on the drive (great motors and wheels, those things are grippy, but it could use 3 or 4 motors for insane speed) and weapon placement, just pretty much rotate the weapon "bar" 90 degrees is all. Or you could go with hammers if you wanna spice things up.


Some specific tips for this bot:

Nice basic design. But on GTM, that chassis is like the Titanic. My best SnS (it's not a trinity, but who cares) uses about a 2x2 chassis on the grid. I attached everything I could externally and armored it up. Not saying you need a chassis so small, but the more weight you save on that, the more you could give to weapons or drive, etc. It only had 240KG of weapons but insane drive and the axles themselves almost trinitied.
But enough about that, this thing could be improved a lot if you took that advice. But all in all, it's not bad for one of your first bots. You might just try messing around with a minute chassis with everything possible external, then protecting the pistons' microscopic HP with some skirts or something. Might try jamming more Eteks on too. Or ditch the trinity approach and just do a basic or TOFU style SnS.

By the way, ant batts are the best and always try to use Multiextenders (MEs) instead of baseplate anchors.
Some of the best wheels are vlad, hypnos and technos.
I think Plastic 5 + 3 and tite 1 are the most efficient armors, but I don't remember. It's not too big of a deal, just try to avoid really heavy armor if you can, weight will usually be best used elsewhere. Especially if you have dinky chassiseseses like me... bwahaha
Title: Re: Gropaga's DSL Showcase
Post by: Badger on January 07, 2012, 12:36:04 AM
I've always wanted to go to Japan. The problem is I don't know a bit of Japanese and probably won't/can't learn it. :(

And you should post one bot at a time, improve it, then post another. I know you want to get them all out quickly, but we can't help as much when you do it like that. Also, I believe the pistons have to be on a spin motor of some kind to trinity, so you'd be better off with one arm, as Reier said.

Also, if someone has a coloured username, they're trustable.

So, in short;
Slow it down a bit
Listen to advice and post updates to the robots
I <3 Japan
Take Reier's advice
 1 ant for ever spin motor. It gets more complicated for bursts, but the SnS only needs 2.
Welcome!

Title: Re: Gropaga's DSL Showcase
Post by: ty4er on January 07, 2012, 03:12:21 AM
take their advice but use 3 ant batteries so it wont slow down near the end of a match

That chassis isnt the worst as you could easily fit the e-teks into the chassis (the axles can go out, it's just the main motor part that has to be inside if that makes sense) and get more weapons. You probably wont need razors on the very first extender coming from whatever you're attaching them to (in this case, a piston).

You actually can just attach the Eteks to the MEs to save weight

Post by: Conraaa on January 10, 2012, 04:49:13 PM
Do the same with the storm pistons to save weight and the rule of 7. Make sure the weapons are all facing one way, having double sided weapon racks is a waste.

I would have the npc fasts (left and right) attached directly to the chassis to save weight and lets you take advantage of the fact that anything attached to the baseplate (direct chassis) is invincible (however the motors will start to smoke and lose power rather quickly due to the npc fasts' low hp).

Also get more weapons facing one way, e.g. razors on the beater bars

He's right, though, in this instance. Your weapon'll be spinning so damn fast, you want as much HP as you can get on it. A hammer would probably be the best bet for this, I reckon, razor tips would work on a normal SnS, but they're simply too flimsy to work well on a trinity spinner.

Learn the difference between electotal and elecmaxinoutrate. 3 ants is slightly heavier than a battlepack, but provides three times as much total power and a slightly better power output.

Use 3 ants. I know what I'm talking about.

He's right.  Nothing can be attached to the 70kg hammers at the moment because it breaks the rule of 7.  My suggestion would be to replace the inner beater bars (or the entire rack if you want) with a single DSL bar.  That way you can attach heavier hammers to the one you already have on the end.

The Sir K drills are just blocking bots from hitting the rest of your weapons.
Maybe try to get some bottom and top armor with the weight left over so popups can't kill it as quick.

I'd get rid of the wheel protectors altogether and downgrade to tite extenders on the razors

Can't do it
Empty spaaaaace, and i doubt the hp of the razors for the HW class
Having some (but not too muth) empty space is good,it gives chassis a more Hp

well having a small chassis makes it a harder-to-hit target and saves weight that you can spend on weapons

I think it will be 2wd if you shorten the chassis

too silly.

what ohter weapon it should use
Because there is no helpful idea (Shortening chassis will make it a 2WD due for size of wheels),I will release a new bot, Paaaaaaaart Destryeer!

Post by: Mr. AS on May 05, 2012, 10:47:05 PM
OK... it's (much) better than the original, but you really don't need much offensive value for flippers because most flippers are supposed to toss their opponent oota (they dont need to ko their opponent), so you don't need the saw, bots (especially pokers) will be able to flank that really narrow bot with relative ease, so you might want to make the wedge wider (move the metal hinges apart and use angled sheets)

Ant sawblades are horrible damage wise.

Also, need less empty space, and looks underpowered to me.

But it's not only very havok prone, it's also cheating (yeah you can't burst spin motors in DSL and break the realistic rule)

A VS called "Destroyer"

Post by: Celestial Panda on May 14, 2012, 07:41:07 AM
As advice given to me: Fliptaur would have a better time of it if you rotated the "flipper" extender sheets 180 degrees. If they overlap then the wedginess is compromised. I also cant tell if it's fully powered, but it looks like it at least almost is, so that's cool.

VS looks cool.

The Flipper piece in the back just confuses me... Couldn't you just make it to the middle, and put smaller wheels?

Oh god the drive on that VS is barely fit for a LW. And so much vulnerable extender work, eek. I suggest you have a play around with stuff to get better drive on there and minimise extender work.

Post by: cephalopod on May 14, 2012, 01:57:15 PM
Where the heck is the weight used on that VS? Not nearly enough drive, if the weight is where I think it might be (60kg hammers) they're too heavy for that motor in my opinion... you need MUCH more defense and drive than that. Also, with the bar right above the chassis, it is very easy to hit the chassis.
Finally, there's already a chain of VS called Destroyer, and another chain of VS called Stealth Destroyer.. both by different people :P

What armor? Also maybe see if you could change the weapons because the razors seem fragile.

Post by: Mr. AS on July 15, 2012, 09:00:49 PM
its... okay

once a few of those 1000 hp razors are gone its probably going to bounce around the arena so its a bit glass-cannon-y, and i dont see what the shell panel on the back is doing but if theres any use for it you can keep it, your bot really

alot better than when you first started though:

how do flash

I don't know if this is your first irl bot or not so yeah. Anyway, I don't like the lone flippermaker in the front, I honestly think it'd look better without it. Slipperbottoms are nice but aren't the best looking and you can swap it out for better looking tires while keeping the same grip.

you'd skin it like how you'd skin any other bot (if you do skin), there's really no regulations for the skin of a bot, IRL or not. Just make it look nice, I guess.

Tazbots wouldn't be bad but Vlads wouldn't be too bad either. Just gotta find the right blend of cool looks and fair enough stats, that's how I build my bots.
