If you're needing room for batteries I'd swap to some smaller wheels and see if you can at least fit a battle pack under the flipper motor. Maybe go with the smaller control board too. Get creative enough moving pieces and you might be able to fit a black batt in there somewhere.

ok so Barrel roll now has even more battery power and I switched Do a's flipper from a 60x120 cm titanium armor plate to a 40x120cm titanium armor plate to save on weight

Slice & Dice
« Reply #82 on: August 10, 2017, 12:04:41 AM »
ok so Slice & Dice is a horizontal and vertical spinner cluster-bot, i'm happy with Slice but for some reason i'm just not happy with Dice even though i've rebuilt it 3 times and i can't for the life of me figure out why.

Slice




Armor: 5mm aluminium
Weapon: Horizontal spinning toothed disc
Drive: 2x slimbody motors
Power: 2x lead acid batteries
Cost: 25 minutes
Notes: slimbody placement was very annoying




Dice




Armor: 3mm titanium
Weapon: vertical spinning toothed disc
Drive: 2x slimbody motors
Power: 2x lead acid batteries
Cost: almost an hour due to the constant rebuilds
Notes: still not happy with it

Instead of castors place a 30 degree angle extender and some wedgelets so you can get your opponent to go into the weapon.

 :vista:No real great idea to improve dice atm, but you could probably free up 14-20kgs in slice by going to just one black batt or 1 black and an ant.  Two blacks seems like overkill. Maybe even try one ant and a battle pack.  That'll give you room to up armor, etc

Couple of thing, this being a cluster bot is it for CW or HW? If it's HW you still have 200kg left between to two. As for dice, wedges as avalanche suggested would be good, also change that black bat to a red, you're only powering 3 spinmotors, what you can do with both bats is lay in on it's side and closer to the motor as with the control board, with this you could shorten the length of the bot, save weight and to support the disc using extenders like with a triangle shape. Finally with Dice what is the alu extenders for by the motors if it's for the motors you don't need to do that just place the motors in.

With Slice, ballasts I don't think are needed possibly extender the length of the chain on the weapon motor and get larger teeth or if that's not possible smaller disc small typhoon teeth

This is clearly not designed to be a wedged VS.
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

cw and slice doesn't have any ballasts   :baffled: and about the batteries maybe they are overkill but the adot irl tournament is the first ra2 tournament i've seen and im pretty sure at least 5 bots maybe more have gone out due to them running out of power so maybe it is a bit overkill but i always run on the better safe than sorry excuse so......yeah,  and the aluminium extenders make it so it doesn't take me 10 years to get the motors perfectly lined up due to my sh*t mouse.

As i said though im not happy with it not yet so i will make more adjustments to them (mostly dice) and hopefully will get something that looks better as i made them more or less straight after i made the do a barrel roll cluster bot

ok so im pretty happy with slice & dice now, dice performs much better than before (only just manages to stay alive for 3 minutes though) and slice's battery power has been reduced to add on proper wheel guards.

ps: the extenders on dices wheels are to help it when it ends up on its side to right itself as the wedges caused problems and stopped it self righting

slice



dice

Slightly bothered now that I notice they have different wheels. Oh well. For dice you should get Badnik's wheel color pack so they can be red too at least.

Drive: 2x twmr3 drive motors
Power:3x sealed lead acid batteries
Cost: 36 minutes

c r o p  y o u r  s c r e e n s h o t s

Another bland tombklone, not much to say really. Can you spend your 18kg that you have left on giving it some flair? Maybe some wheelguards or something?


Oh, and you only need one of those batts to make your bot last 3 minutes IIRC.
also lol at most toxic guy around calling others out on this sh**

wow you seem a little salty today jesus christ just because it looks like tombstone doesn't automatically mean i based it off it i actually based it off ripcage but without making it completely out of extenders so it had the same devastating weapon but a heavyweight instead of SH

you can't exactly make a horizontal bar spinner without it looking like tombstone

That said he's not being salty, just a bit harsh that's all. I do agree that it's overpowered with those motors. You can add some more flair with the freed weight.
