Title: Guldenflame's showcase, but it's DSL
Post by: Gulden on August 21, 2016, 03:51:30 PM

Hello, you're in the land of Pieces of Crap and the occasional Shining star.
Please enjoy your stay.

I have a weird obsession with Clamp bots.
So I made this.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37589Remote controll.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76815Internals.png)

Diet includes this weird thing that reminds me of Captain Shrederator, Fruity punch, and occasionally snow job.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37104Diet.png)

Pros: Traps opponents of all sizes.  Does great damage.  Tears off multiple pieces at once.
Cons: Batteries fail quickly.  Slow Side spinners (I used drive motors, because I believe they have more torque?).


Impressed with the work of Stinger in battlebots, I decided to recreate him.  It evolved multiple times until finally ending with this.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85796Hornet.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55584Internals H.png)

It has a small balance problem at the moment.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49297Small problem.png)

Pros: Fast, good wedge, flips/grinds opponents well.
Cons: Balance when weapon is on.  Exposed motors.

Keep wedges aligned with chassis.
Pay attention to the battery lengths per motor.
Hinge > Sheets any day.
Make the smallest chassis possible.
Bigger weapon = Bigger punt
Avoid messy extender work
Weapon support makes bots gorgeous.
Srimechs=Boring
Stop using multi-extenders for IRL bots.
Have wheels either all in or all out.

They are both pretty damm nice but I think the clamper may need a bit more of a powerful drive.

Post by: Gulden on August 23, 2016, 01:28:28 AM

Impressed with my work on remote controll, I decided to make a more effective clamp.
Dine And Dash

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49450Screenshot (65).png)

A less threatening name, but much more effective bot.  Hitting insane speed and now with a srimech, It does insanely well.

Remember, DON'T FEED THE BOTS _{They can't digest human food very well}

Pros: Great clamping action.  Srimech.  Crushes with amazing force.
Cons: Tough to self right

Title: Re: Guldenflame thinks he's doing good. He's probably not.
Post by: Badger on August 23, 2016, 01:38:06 AM

Forget the extra srimech, it's wasted weight. Stop using the tallest batteries and make the chassis low enough so the most can run upside down. Use the extra weight you gain from that to all most weaponry, right now this bot is gonna get outweaponed easily by a MW.

Instead of just sticking sheets out of the front of the bot, make a wedge using a skirt hinge and attach a shirt on the middle attachment point.

Title: Re: Guldenflame thinks he's doing good. He's probably not.
Post by: Gulden on August 27, 2016, 02:04:53 AM

I wanted to make a giant wheel on wheels once.  It didn't work quite as I thought.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39228Adderoni.jpg)

It has the ability flip and KO bots easily, as long as it can get under them.
The armor on the sides is to keep it from getting stuck on its side, which was a huge problem at first.

Pros: Fairly fast, Extremely powerful, Plastic 10 armor.
Cons: Useless against better wedges, Uninvertable.

Title: Re: Guldenflame thinks he's doing good. He's probably not.
Post by: Pwnator on August 27, 2016, 03:49:35 PM

It's quite messy. The chassis is very heavy and bulky, try a V-shape instead. You also don't need the side armor. All you need to do is to expose the wheels (yes, that does present a weakness but it helps with retaining stability). Not being invertible is not that much of a problem with VSes, as the motor is usually strong enough to kick itself back up.

So yeah, it could be cleaner, but it's nice to see some creative solutions out of some problems.

Title: Re: Guldenflame thinks he's doing good. He's probably not.
Post by: Gulden on August 29, 2016, 01:59:36 PM

Ah, space, such a great place.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36082Addvert.jpg)

Space project: Pros: Powerful flipper, Fairly good speed.
Cons: Srimech can fail.  Exposed wheels.

Launch pad: Pros: Made a lightweight hit the ceiling of the combat arena.
Cons: Exposed wheels.  Still haven't studied what all it can do.

It seems kinda generic doesn't it?

Title: Re: Guldenflame thinks he's doing good. He's probably not.
Post by: FOTEPX on September 04, 2016, 08:37:50 AM

Generic, and not very good. Double or triple the size of that spinner - give it some real punting power.

My first attempt at a Swiss army bot.  Meet the mechanic and all his tools.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16296Addvent.jpg)

Typo on the flipper, it actually weighs 395.7.

I added a ant battery at the last moment.

Incoming bots for the Sword of Glory tournament.
Also note that some might still change or be different in the tournament itself.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14543Splash.jpg)
Ignore the typos, and good luck to all.
Remember advice is still very much appreciated. _{I could use it...}

Post by: Naryar on September 18, 2016, 05:08:45 AM

your bots are nice to look at and you've got good ideas, but the bots are either fragile, slow or both.

also, you need to learn how to make small chassis and fit all the components in the chassis.

Title: Re: Guldenflame thinks he's doing well at DSL. He's probably not.
Post by: R01 on September 18, 2016, 06:00:26 AM

I'd try to improve the visual looks more, use different, more fitting parts, export the skin template and edit it in paint.net and you'll hopefully quickly get better looking bots.

Title: Re: Guldenflame thinks he's doing well at DSL. He's probably not.
Post by: Gulden on September 21, 2016, 05:58:51 PM

Sacrificing speed, damage, and reliability of the old version for a better wedge, stronger flipper, and better durability.
Launch pad returns with an actual skin.

Aside from the extender work between those fronts wedges, I say this is a pretty neat bot.  :smile:

Post by: Gulden on September 22, 2016, 01:12:46 PM

I decided to make the Battle B- robots their own archetype.
For some reason the game keeps crashing whenever I try to skin it, so the paint schemes are gonna suck for now.

It will never hold a finger to  Launch pad 2 though...

Those are looking nice now, also crash when importing the texture? Make sure you exported it as 24 bit bitmap.

Post by: Gulden on September 23, 2016, 09:01:15 PM

Thanks, didn't notice I had the Default bitmap.
I've fixed the skins.

And why not show off a new bot?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66990Addictive.jpg)
Names a bot OCD: gives it a 1 tooth spinner.  :rage
100% not based off Disco inferno.

I'll be honest, not a lot of work went into that one, but I wanted to make some more Cruiserweights.  They're fun.

Day 2 sense last update:  Still no replies.  I think I might have to resort to a bump or a new bot.

I think I'll wait a few hours for the new bot...

Here's a nice little replica.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38428Complete control.png)

Sure not 1:1 , and of course I haven't custom skinned the components, but it's a start.
Sorry, bout the Smartzone btw, I wanted to test AIing with a flamethrower.

Post by: Gulden on October 01, 2016, 10:47:54 PM

Inspired by CPHE's opponents from the last 2 years.
The egg beater weapon is surprisingly effective!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36798addrenalin.jpg)

The main difference between the 2 is armor.
However Comet 2 has a few more supports beneath the wedges for a more IRL look.

Title: Re: Guldenflame feels like murdering someone

Post by: 090901 on October 02, 2016, 05:07:54 PM

try getting your chassises to line up more for the armour wedge edges things you do. i notice it seems to be a common thing on a lot of your bots and it doesn't looks good when they aren't lined up.

your weapon support don't look that great, the hexplate and multi extender look out of place and they is no vertical support for it either. you should have support on the side with the perm aswell.

Post by: Pwnator on October 13, 2016, 01:27:23 AM

Not sure having a large beater is the fastest way to beat a spinner.

Personally I'd go with a smaller diameter drum with more damaging weapons. And you should probably work on the wedges in case of a tie or something.

It looks nice, even if it's not the most effective design. Would swap the multiextender for one of the round or regular ones to make it look even better.

Would try to get the wedges lower so they actually work as wedges and maybe replace the multiextender with a regular round one? Drum like Angled VS isn't something you see every day definitely looks nice.

Yes, but they could easily be turned into wedges, being even lower to the ground and helping to protect the wheels against spinners and undercutters.

No. I highly doubt they would be capable of getting under anything. Nightmare-esque bots are designed to punt a bot if it is tall enough to have a part hit the disc. There is no need – or efficient way – to wedge bots with a Nightmare clone.

Maybe if someone succeeds to take the right of the tournament, you'll see these things soon.

Removing batteries is technically IRL, heck, Brutus did it against Tombstone to put on more armor.
Also thought the entire point of IRL bots was too look like IRL ones, doesn't matter how certain parts are built. Middle part could also be a big interchangeable part like Tornado had.

Title: Re: Guldenflame's DSL showcase
Post by: Gulden on November 20, 2016, 10:39:22 PM

I wanted to have the strongest piston possible for the flipper in that chassis.  Using one sideways seemed to be the best possible way.
Drums looked the smoothest and cutting teeth for weapons seemed to be the best for damage in the space that I wanted.

But, yes, it is weird looking.  I think Demon commented something like that too.

M8 I've tested a single long VDMA flipper, and at CW they're really not that powerful. I'm also not a far of the lack of protection/support for the VDMA, and the misalignment between the front panels and the flipper panel. I think you can do better

the way the burst doesn't line up with the chassis, the way the extender holding the burst doesn't even go all the way to the end of the burst, and the fact there is no sort of protection cage or support for that burst just make it look not IRL at all man.

I'd say a lower chassis, a slightly smaller chassis, and using 2 Piglets for the saw blade robot. Should reduce a lot of weight.

However, it might increase the width of the front part.

I tried having a lower chassis, but it wasn't allowed.  And as for the piglets, it would only weigh 5 kg less plus I'd have to make the chassis larger.  Thus nullifying it.

if you use piglets you can BFE the chassis lower and save KGs by having a shorter chassis  ;)

Since you're trying to enter it in DoT's tourney, have you considered using the CB2 Flatmotor rather than a perm on the turret?  The top section just looks too bulky to me and that would allow you more room to shape it.

From top to bottom.

Grab and Grind, an idea based loosely off of Industrial coal miner.  It lifts opponents onto the grinder and pushes them around.  Its AI binding is tough to beat...  Entered into Masters of Destruction.

Catipult, what happens when I try to make a normal bot. Entered in Annihilation thing.

Network, when you combine Frenzy with Kan-Opener. Entered in Annihilation thing.

In other news, I've been working on a project for a while now, and I think I should show it off and ask for help perhaps.

It only took me 2 days to finish all these bots for Demon's tourney...  Good or Bad sign?

Kylo-Wrench.  A replica of the robot that knocked Talon out of the competition this year.
Runs on 2 copals to replicate the lack of speed the real Kylo-wrench had.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37090Screenshot (386).png)

Inclination is a flipper with no special attributes whatsoever.
Runs on astroflights and flipper is that weak green burst motor.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92282Screenshot (385).png)

Big Little Drum.  Originally I wanted to make a Barborous 2 style bot, but this sufficient.
Runs on Slimbody motors.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80596Screenshot (384).png)

At first I wanted to call this "Razer clone" but the resemblance was too close, so I called it Razer.
Runs on 2 TMRWs
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65520Screenshot (380).png)

Iffy Lifty is the current stage of Project dine and Dash.  However, its lifting power is... kinda a failure at the moment...
Runs on 2 TMRW2s.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17949Screenshot (382).png)

The only robot that I already showcased, Antivirus has been greatly improved. (Ok, that might be over exaggerated)
I now has bottom plates and a slightly more powerful flipper.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25896Screenshot (381).png)

Big daddy Night Terror is back!  With removeable self-righting wings if I want to bring Torment in.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57766Screenshot (379).png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90469Screenshot (383).png)

LW and MW are iffy. maybe try and hide the piglet on the LW?

MW is sorta bland imo, but would look better if the wheels were completely in the chassis instead of sticking out

HW could benefit from smaller wedges flanking the main flipper (angle extenders or beater wedges?)

SHW multibot seems coolio. Torrent might not come back due to the hover engine not being attached to the base.

Armor is Aluminum 5.  It uses a flatmotor to power the saw.

It's a good wedge at least.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10706Shadelock.png)

Aluminum 10 for the Cruiserweight (The one without wheel guards) and Titanium 10 for the Heavyweight (The one with wheel guards).
The cruiserweight launches robots and sometimes OOTAs them.  The Heavyweight is still largely untested though.
The 2 can self right and have the same internals.

You better have named bot #18 "F.B.S. (FrenZy Body Spinner)."

wouldn't it be "F.Z.B.S." then?

Nope if FrenZy is one word :really_makes_you_think: :really_makes_you_think: :really_makes_you_think:

Believe it or not I am working on my the next tournament (which will probably be renamed again for the official version)
So as a teaser, here's my entrant for it.

Of course I'd remake Ravex.  But that just spoils that CB2 is allowed (to an extent)

Aside from the HW.  I'm ready for Robogames.
Now... I should probably work on that essay that I've been putting off until midnight. [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

They all look really good!

Delusion is awesome! How does it do upside down? It and fantasy actually use a srimech tail.

Fantasy is cool as well, but the long jutting wedge front looks a bit off. If they were a little wider, I think they might look a little better I understand where this comes from, however, weight restrictions keep me from fixing it.

Rebuttal looks very MOE esq. The thinness of the weapon support looks a bit jarring, though. Once again got bitten by weight restrictions.

Cavalier looks ridiculous! Surely it must be a glass cannon! Looks very scary.  It's tankier than expected.  The flipper however is weaker than it looks.

Little Green and Killing Intent look good as well. Very unique and threatening. Glad to hear that I look threatening to at least one person.

I'm glad to hear the feedback at least.

The proportions on all these bots are pretty weird looking IMO. The spinner on the MW is weirdly small, and the LW is incredibly goofy. The flipping arm is too narrow IMO. My favourite out of these would probably be fantasy, but the wedge-plates just lying flat at the front look a bit odd for an IRL bot.

This is what happens when I attempt to make a robot after listening to the F-Zero GX Ost all night.

I'll probably use it as a bye bot if next tournament I do is The Law of Red Canyon.
[See signature for more details.]

How's the turning, I'm guessing it's a D?

It could weight as much as the real thing if you use enough ballasts.

I focused more on the A armor and B boost.  I did in fact consider the ballast idea, but decided to make it somewhat competitive.

Tyrant. 
Got inspiration for it while cringe-watching some old RNP.  Specifically the Second Chance.

That's great, I assume it's a replica of some F-zero vehicle or something? As for advice, maybe you could BFE the panels together on the outer front wedges to make them meet nicely at a point?

It’s an artbot not built for combat. Depends on your definition of “do damage” though as RA2’s damage counter is shown to rack up some points for bots with weaponry as little as a plow.

If it's really 990kg you have an awesome gag entry for SHW events.

Technically, it's 989.9 kg.
I don't recall any items that weigh exactly .5 kg to fix that.
