Helloface's DSL IRL sh**case

[helloface]

I'm bored. Here is my first ever rammer.



I am probably only going to post bots that are either awesome (but probably won't be), or bots that can be improved.

Alot of empty space, attatch the teeth on multiextenders not baseplate anchors, the poly wedges aren't doing anything, not invertible, and a bit bland. Skin? I'm happy you made a showcase though.

[Badnik96]

While not terrible for a first bot, you're going to want to use up those last 120 kgs or so. Maybe grippier wheels (Hypnos)? More armor? Longer wedges?

post pictures so we can see the skin too please.

instead of the spike strips maybe try something like tazbot wedges.

It wasn't very well thought out.

I was thinking hypnos, but I wanted more durability.

The skin is just green, and I used spike strips so it can cause damage.

Just for starts, look at Scrap Daddy's showcase to get a feel for high standards of IRL.

I follow a few Realistic DSL showcases. I just happen to suck.

Hypnos should be more durable than mini wheels, unless I'm mistaken.

Nah you're right.

Just keep building, it will click eventually.

It's underweight, add wheelguards or something

Okay. Later I will add some spikes and crap to surround the bot.

[Mr. AS]

first off, 4WD npc fasts with hypnos should be more than enough for this bot. certain wheels are given more grip than others, and as a result hypno wheels and techno destructo wheels dominate DSL.
secondly, it i horribly underweight. you could bring it up to 800 by adding many more weapons (spamming razors, LDS teeth, or large beater bars for examples, spike strips and ripping teeth dont tend to fare well.)
last, a skirt hinge isnt very good for wedges (i have been told a few times that skirt hinges can be good, but i havent been able to pull it off, so im assuming that it doesnt happen too often.) i would suggest a metal hinge with a titanium halfsheet and then a small wedge connected to it.

you can lurk a few showcases to see how its done (see: naryar's and 123savethewhales). the first half or so of scrap daddys showcase are also good examples of effective robots. around 2011 or so his style shifts from effectiveness to "how cool can i make this robot look, i dont care about efficiency" (otherwise known as IRL building). you can either choose effective (my advice above is for effective dsl building)

[Naryar]

Pretty good for a first bot, given the average level of newbies at DSL...

[090901]

MAKE IT 10 WD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!

Not my first bot. First rammer. My DSL bot was one of the worst things imaginable, and got deleted a while ago.

I thought about it, and it would probably be smart to sacrifice power for more damage and a srimech. Will do next time I play RA2.

thats just 090901 trying to be funny. ignore him.

a srimech may not be the best use of weight i feel, maybe if you simply got it to run upside down it would be fine.

I can't make it invertable. It would either have bots flying over it due to no ripping teeth, or it would have bots getting under it.

[helloface]

Alrighty, here is Mutant 2.

Pros: Can now self right | Uses all weight | Has wheel guards
Cons: Srimech is useless after about 1 minute | Does less damage (for some reason. Srimech blocks teeth???)
Help/Feedback?

[Mr. AS]

i can see this bot turning into a cool rammer/flipper hybrid. in fact i am almost compelled to go build one right now.


if you were to make your front wider, the wheelgaurds would not be needed. one of the sheets in the extenders tab would also be a more efficient flipper/srimech/whatever. this should free up some weight for the extra batteries needed to fully power the beta and drive.

Alright, I'll try that. Btw, I thought about turning it into a flipper/rammer hybrid but I kept it as pure rammer so it would be more aggressive as an AI.
