(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11568screenshot_27.JPG) This is Spun to Death. It's a lightweight flail shell spinner with titainiam armor.
-
Put the image in the middle of your post please.
-
weapon motor?
-
Yeah, we're really gonna need better picture angles than that.
-
Piglet brushless motor.
-
Ok, needs an update to a mag probably.
-
I'm confused at how you weren't able to fit many weapons on, but try downgrading to plastic armor, removing a couple of ants (you only need about 3), and shortening the shell/chassis, and see if you can get more weapons on then.
-
Is that a one-wheeled Sheck Spinner?
I would up your weapon motor to at least a mag (as King Mushroom said). This bot MUST be underweight, so add in more weapons. Your flails are not mounted very effectively. Mount them so your weapon sticks straight out instead of at a right angle. Also, swap your small DSL teeth for razors. I am also willing to bet your shell spinner is taller than it needs to be. Make sure the chassis is as short as possible.
-
Small DSL teeth on flails = fail
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/26569screenshot_29.JPG) Looks better?
-
It's a 2-wheeled flail shell spinner.
-
Partially. You should turn your flails so that they move left and right, not up and down. Otherwise, you've got the general idea of flails.
-
^that^
Also, lower the chasis right down, you'll be able to get everything in there still, if you lay the control board down flat.
To save more weight, you can delete the side panels that have no weapons attatched to them as ATM it's just wasted weight.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16786screenshot_31.JPG) Does it look better?
-
Stop cropping your images like that.
And yes.
-
and start taking off one side of the spinner for pics, I can barley see the insides. But you've made an improvment. (pro tip: try a popup)
-
Pro tip: Don't, do what your good at.
-
Not bad. But I would still recommended you change your flail attachment so that the weapon point straight out and not to the side.
-
Way to crop: Crop the silver area where you can see your bot, and then extend the area down so we can see the weight. Then tell us its armor and what you see as problems with it. Then we can help you more.
-
It's got titanium armor.
-
Which?
-
Try to make the chasis smaller
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80554screenshot_2.JPG) I got anothor LW SS! It called Minor Disturbince. (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63226screenshot_1.JPG)
-
Useless crap deleted... also you will post in your old showcase, not create one because you think your showcase is "too old" Not only that doesn't makes any sense, but we don't want users to have multiple DSL showcases, for matters of clean board.
-
Way overpowered and underweaponed.
-
It only needs 2 to 4 ants, and load up on weapons.
-
3 or 4 ants should do the trick. Upgrade the drive to Astroflights (Copals routinely move way too slow to be any good in anything above an Antweight), get more in the weapon array (Razor Tips preferred), and get a Carbon Fiber extender on top to get yourself righted in case you are flipped.
-
Bad cropping is bad.
Also, one spin motor = one ant.
-
AM I the only one starting to get some odd vibes from this guy?(no offence Hardy) The way he crops, he made another showcase for no reason, his sig, his Personal text, he bumped a thread with unreadable grammar......
-

Weren't you the damn same when you joined ?
Yes indeed, this cropping looks ugly, but it doesn't really matter.
BACK ON TOPIC, you only need 3 ant batteries on this, and try razors. The light DS tooth at the top of the bot is also useless.
-
Doesnt listen to replies to his PM's -_-
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11418screenshot_3.JPG) This is Micro Disturbince 2. You might want to stay away from this. It is small but uber.
-
I dont think its uber, its an ok bot.
-
That Sheck Spinner is not uber. It needs a stronger weapon motor and some bottom protection ideally. Also, put some weapons one the upper attachment point if the shell panel to better protect your core shell.
-
Use Astros instead of Piglets for drive.
-
Weight plz
-
From what I've been told by Sypher that is rather good but it needs a few things
1. Open up half of the shell so we can see the chassis more clearly.
2. Please don't crop like this, it's distracting and an eye sore (or maybe I'm overly perfectionist?)
3. We need the weight!
4. You misspelled tough in you PT
5. I'm no master, but Uber means *super* in German and compared to other bots I wouldn't call it that, but it seems to be an improvement.
6. piglets aren't the best weapon motors for spinning that amount of weight, do you test your bots in the garage?
Hope that helps.
P.S. your avatar.......it burns.

Did Sparks use all his posts for today or something?

lrn2crop
lrn2listweight
lrn2tellarmor
-
It weighs 248.3 kg.

Actually frost's advice is not bad. I am pleasantly surprised.
Yeah, it needs more razors.

Maaaaybe he wasn't online ATM and I just so happened to repeat the advice he's told me? Oh well, I'm sure this post is somehow more evidence that he's me. We both like blue, I MUST BE DOUBLE ACCOUNING!!1

Favorite color!!! The puzzle is coming together.
-
P.S. your avatar.......it burns.
And look at your avatar then.
-
It's just his youtube avatar from the paint series we do. Hard Bot scibled on a team logo
-

It was a team logo, but he put ACAMS face on it :P
You are saying a blue box with 3 circles on it is any better?
-
BOT guys...
And the weight management is good. Use a carbon fiber extender on top of the shell because it can be longer for less weight
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76970screenshot_11.JPG)
Here he is! Minor Disturbince III.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63064screenshot_12.JPG)
This is Major Disturbance.
-
Needs 3-4 ants
Dont use circular chassis'
Needs more power
Needs more protection
Needs more top stabilizers
I could go on for a while here...
-
Needs weight and armour info aswell.
-
Uhhh...
You need something more like a 6 mag or a Dual Perm. A single mag doesn't cut it on a HW shell spinner.
-
That's a 2-mag.
Still the bot is ridiculously overpowered and the weapon itself isn't near enough. *laughs*
You need 3-5 ant batteries for this and a 6-mag at least.
Not the best drive choice as well. I would recommend NPC Fast/ant wheels.
-
You know, you don't have to use a circle chassis for a shell spinner.
-
Minor Disturbance looks pretty good from what I can see. I'd worry about Havok with such a small chassis though.
But yeah, the HW needs some work.
-
I find it amusing that DSL is supposed to be "realistic", but using ant batteries for everything is perfectly fine.
-
Real realistic =/= DSL Realistic
-
Minor Disturbance 4.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4389screenshot_13.JPG)
-
Weight would be nice
-
243.9 kg with 1 mm of plastic.
-
Moar carbon extender
Seriously, get a bigger self-righter with the weight.
1 mm plastic.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
-
Insides?
-
That has to be a piglet... Does the bot havok? Anything with a chassis that small havoks with me (unless there is some bottom support).
-
Barley.
-
Barley.
We talking about a food product or a robot? Because I think we're talking about the food product. Anyway, I assume you are using minis. If the motor's small enough on the drive, switch to ants for extra weight, Since extra weapons or a more powerful motor would be nice?
-
This bot is likely going to be easy pickings for a popup, because the piglet will not spin the shell fast enough to spin you off. Similarly, gut rippers and flipper could cause some issue. I would highly advice you find a way to get a stronger motor in there.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78775screenshot_16.JPG) This is Micro M.A.D.. He has 1 ant and 2 astroflights. It weighs 172kg and has titianium 1.
-
It's not even invertible. XD
-
It's not even invertible. XD
^Exactly XD^
What sort of rammer isn't invertible?
-
The sort that likes flying around the arena when a flippers in town xD
-
Is it just me, or is everyone putting XD in their posts about this bot?
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82699screenshot_52.JPG) This is 20% Cooler. It's my RA2TC3 bot. It's 791.1 kg.
-
there`s no need for so many BPAs. use multiextenders instead. also you should change the batterys to 2 ants
edit: that and shrink the chassis
-
Oh dear.
What thyrus said, and also, well, get all the weapons pointing the same way for a start, and irons are meh, use razorz, or beater bars, or more sledge hammers.
-
Less empty space, don't use those batts-
Better yet, I'll tell you what to do IRL.
-
Oh and get rid of the irons on top so it's invertible.
-
Very average honestly. Way too much multi extenders, as well as an unsufficient drive for a HW rammer.
Also you don't need more than 4 ants for 2WD drive and no weapon motors.
-
Losin your touch Nary, they ain't MEs!
-
I think you should rename it: "Baseplate Anchor Orgasm"
-
You know how people keep on thinking Minor Conflict is going to do bad? There just underestimating it. Proof:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61808screenshot_53.JPG) I tried to K-O Stanley, but blame that on Minor Conflict's slow, little uncontrollable movement. I least I de-weaponed my opponent.
-
You out-weaponed your opponent, which kind of translates into de-weaponing if they're evenly matched weapons. It is a pretty decent Shall Spinner, though, I just think it might be too tall and - if you're being honest - slow and uncontrollable to be a major threat in CCIV. You've still done a decent job, though. Might want some more control in it next time.

What's a shall spinner? :P
-
People need to realize the prowess of a shell spinner is not judged by how well it beats other shell spinners, but how well it deals with the other bot types.

A typo. :gawe:
A shell spinner's worst enemy is a popup. In that sense, you may want to add some underside protection or amp up the armour, and a more effective self-righter. CF extenders make good self-righters, because they're extremely light and don't get taken off easily, plus they can be quite long if required, but rarely any more than 2 20cm extenders, I find.
-
It has plastic 3.

...And in some cases FS's if they can gut-rip good enough. (which mine can for RA2T3 :gawe:)
-
Generally, you'll want your flails low down to better combat wedges. If they're high up, your opponent'll be underneath you with no damage at all.
-
Bah. Razor flail shell spinners get beaten by razor shell spinners nearly every time.
-
Problem is though that razor shell spinners lose to most of the things that flail shell spinners beat.
-
Here's a bot rrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhh -my cat- built:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82267screenshot_58.JPG) This is Micro M.A.D. 3. Plastic 1 and it is my RA2T3 bot.
-
It's got lots of weaponry, but it's chassis is far too weak and unprotected, and it is going to be PAINFULLY slow. Those CF extenders look extremely vulnerable to me, too.
-
and... the it doesn't look invertible and the weapon rack looks slightly off center.
-

This
Switch the irons to razorz and upgrade the drive and extender work.

No, if you do that you get a Funsize version of Jaws of Defeat (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20663JODM.png) :P
-
No! then you get a Funsize version of Jaws of Defeat :P
Well then that shows how good your bot is ;P
Besides, he could just be a bit more inventive instead of making a boring and more inferior design.
-
so much fail
As stated, you need more drive and invertibility. Also you have a clear weapon overkill for a BW.
-
To be perfectly honest, this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44996E1.JPG)
is far superior to that bot, because even though there is far less weaponry, the rammer above is invertible and fast.
Razors are probably nicer weapons due to their higher damage (this can help when neither bot is destroyed and the match comes down to points). Invertability is a must really for any BW that can't self-right.
-
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18307screenshot_5.JPG) Here is my Antweight shell spinner called T-800 Nano Maulinater. It only Havoks when it does a slight Mauler Dance. It use Plastic 1.
-
Try to change the bars (they don't do much damage) to razors or something like typhoon spikes/LDS teeth and get 2 more ants.
-
Only needs 1wd.
Also, fix your NQRW entry?

Doesn't need 1wd but it will help a lot with weight in this class.

It's crap. I changed the name of your showcase so it reflects more accurately your skill.

I'm almost glad he hasn't got to my showcase yet.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67220screenshot_6.JPG)
Here is a better Antweight shell spinner.
-
It's a cage spinner.
Needs 2 ants.
Your NQRW bot is still illegal.

Swap the static razors for ants and try to upgrade the drive/armour

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19194screenshot_10.JPG) Here is my Sawbot for BattleBots! It is called Shocker Shrieker.
Let's see...
:thumbdown
- Underweight
- Insufficient armour for design
- Awkward shape- opponents will be pushed away from the saws
- Awkward weapon placement- topheavy, and will be pushed away from triangle corners
- I doubt it can drive straight with that drive setup
- Wedges are useless at the back
- Easy to flip
- No means of self-righting or running inverted
- Not realistic, like what BB is meant to be
- The name- it sounds like a painful sexual manouver.
Other than that, it's great :approve:
-
There are slots cut in the parts where the saws are going through the chassis.

It's a spinner. With wheels. The shell around the chassis spins while the chassis' wheels move.
It's a shell spinner.

Hammers on flails are worthless and backwards spike strips are even worse. Nice try.
-
Its his Battlebots entry eh?
From what I have seen, everyone is flipping each other.
Might want to extend that there carbon fibre thing to it self rights.

eff yea

Ughh... A battle-shot against Bane Revolution III is not going to show how good your shell spinner is. Get some good bottom protection or else watch popups and gut rippers eat it alive.

also, AI it and put it against the popups for proper results :P

Try it against a better popup (the one you are fighting against has a steep and thin wedge, a bad combo). Infection 4, in NAR AI, is a good one to try.

Still illegal for B3 IMO

No, they were Tuna Can spinners. The sides themselves did not spin, just the top disc.

It was actually a "lid spinner" (as someone on the forum put it), only the top of the robot spun, there wasn't any real shell to speak of.

Once again... popup are your testing buddies. That's why I have those half sheets.

I will, but I might not be able to use a Sheck Spinner, assuming you are using a Pop-Up or a Rammer.

I think Razors are better because they have a very high piercing, whereas Irons don't. And Razors last a good deal longer when they're on flails, despite the lower HP.

Sheer weapon HP?
Less weight is spent on flails with Irons because you need less weapons for the same weight. SO it would de-weapon a razor SS. But putting flail irons on is wasted weight when static ones are almost as good.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74636screenshot.jpg) Here is T.T.K.A. III. I placed the Flails diffrently so it will do better against Pop-Ups.
-
What kind of amour do you have there?
2 ants i take it
-
Plastic 1. And I will try to find more weight to get an extra Ant in there.
-
If so, it's underpowered. He'd need three for this one. But it looks alright, if a bit lacking in originality.
-
Not bad, but you are going to want to place that half-sheet in a better position so it actually protects the entire chassis. I am also not convinced vertical flails actually help with wedges. And you need two ants. I would recommend cutting one of the motors and using a Melty-Brain AI for it, though that would make it even less original.

What about static downward Razors?

Waste of weight on extenders ahoy...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/582screenshot.JPG) Possible Battlebot 5 bot. Is it realistic enough to enter? It has Tit 1.
-
Seems realistic. Sheck motor nowhere near powerful enough though in my opinion.

That thing is not gonna spin very fast.

That thing is not gonna spin very fast.
Are you sure about that?

It's almost 150kg on a Piglet. It's not going to spin very fast.
-

Are you sure about that?
A piglet spinning roughly 100kg of shell is never going to be quick to spin up, smashy. It would be better with a mag and lighting spikes (because they look cooler). But since IRL is pretty much the opposite of how I build, you can keep it as it is and I'm sure it would be fine.
EDIT: Ninja'd.
-
What's with the DSL bars on the shall pannel? I'd probably remove them and see what you cauld do with the extra weight.
-
I agree with Marty.
-
Here is a revised verison, with 2 heavy weapons:

I have came up with a name for it, Hammer Metal, and it is sponsered by Yahoo!
-
It's almost 150kg on a Piglet. It's not going to spin very fast.
Derp, I forgot about the shell itself 0.o
-
copals? are you serious?
And how many ants are there
-
You definitely want more than copals on a standard shell spinner with big weapons like hammers.
I'd replace the self righter with a lighter component like a carbon fiber extender.

I made my first IRL robot, based off of Stinger: The Killer Bee. The flipper is powered by a medium VDMA and flips forwards. The srimech is an extra-small VDMA.
Name: Venom Lizard
Weight: 796 (HW)
Armor: Titanium 3
Power: 1 small air tank and 3 Battlepacks
Drive: 4 NPC Fasts

Considering this is off the back of a 7 year building hiatus, not half bad. You can probably reduce the length some which would free up some weight for more batts (3 battlepacks might not be enough for 4 drive motors and 2 bursts. I'd go 4 to be safe), and also eliminate some empty space too. Also maybe upgrade the main burst for the flipper, which may also allow you to eliminate the dedicated srimech and instead just self right with the flipper.
Also just wondering, did you skin those Tazbot wheels yourself? I like them a damn sight better than the default Taz wheels. They work well with the stinger-style aesthetic you're going for here.
-
That's a pretty awesome bot. I love the colorscheme and design
-
yooo thats really cool
i like the cheatbot2 bolts on the extenders
-
Pretty good. Love the extender work around the Burst

Name: Pylon Ramp
Weight: 788.2 kg
Armor: 3mm Steel
-
This could work. I like the inspiration from Black Ice.
-
I feel like the armour panel on the top is unnecessary, in the current meta you generally need to worry about gut-ripping spinners more than axes or hammers. You could save about 10kg by mounting the wedgelets on 10cm aluminium extenders instead of multi-extenders, but idk what you'd be able to do with that.
It's a good, clean build, though, and a pretty original choice. Don't see many Black Ice knock-offs.

I slimmed down the fat of the face spinners because I wasn't happy with the original results. They still have their same respective armor and weight class.

IRL face spinners, I approve. The first on looks a little more stock bot than I'm used to seeing in DSL-IRL. Second one mixies the colors well.

I like the skins, also cool to see a side hammer

Nice to see you again Hard Bot :) Really like the skins

Oh hell yes
Verminus and Checkmate are sweet
Fluoride Stream is a bit basic, but LWs and whatnot

ow4 is done

Why have you put this in Hard Bot's showcase?
Also why do you think that posting typo-riddled messages is gonna make him post it any quicker?
To actually address the bots in this showcase, I like checkmate quite a bit, though I do feel that the wedge feels a little disconnected from the bot. If you shortened the chassis a little so there wasn't such a gap between the front of the wheelguards and the wedge corner, I feel it would look a bit better
-
Jesus **** this is stupid lmao
that LW lifter do be lookin fresh
Not of a fan of the MW tbh (thats just me tho. Its a cute bot still
HW is okay. Skin is cool the bot feels bland imo

Flamebrend (HW) now has an Overkill motor.
-
Hexide could use a bigger drum, but regardless they all look good!
-
Very good stuff, but flamebrend needs a new hammerhead, that typhoon doesn't look good and won't cut it as an actual weapon either
I have to agree with Plerco here, when it was sent to me for HBBQ2 I never understood why the typhoon was backwards
-
LW- Outlet Demon, a rebuild of Bullet Bulb.

Here is Short Circuit. 397.4 kg, Plastic 3 and NPC-Fast drive.
-
2.1 yay! I have some thoughts.
Pretty sure half sheets suck as "real" armour not on the baseplate
You can easily fit the bigger cb in that chassis to save 1 kg
Why the lightning spikes?
Also I see this getting stuck on it's front or back.
-
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
CW- Shockvibe. The weapon is powered by a beltless Perm 80.
-
yeah titanium half sheets suck at armor. just use a 30kg one on each face.
also those halfsheets get in the way of the weapon rack. it also seems a bit fragile if something hits you by the sides or from under/over the bot.
though i agree with all of what SM said, i will defend lightning spikes. lightning spikes are cool, and iirc they're decent weapons too.

Haven't played RA2 for a while because of IRL obligations. Here is Buzzard, a billet wedge which is difficult to build effectively in RA2, which will likely be my OW5 reserve. I am also making minor tweaks to Checkmate and Eco-Unfriendly (still a top-hinge).

Felt like recreating another archaic bot again, so I reverted my RC2004 entry back to its OG version. Hworf bolts aren't on the top or bottom so it wouldn't high-centered by their collision mesh even when BFE'ing them inward.
