Bot is called "Constr.Nr.5"

It has a 3 mm titanium armor and weights 794,3 kg ..
Some parts like the "AU Burst Motor 2" or the "Cold Fusion Reactor" are 2 replace if you would say its cheating :-)
But this version (I also tryed 2 Snappers e.g.) is just more fun ...
The weakness of the bot results anyway in the wedges in the front which are not the very best - It often gets flipped out of the arena by "Smashbox 2" for example ...

as you can see i´m new at this forum and years ago i played ra2 stock vers. but i´m playing dsl since 2 weeks -> so i´m happy about nice corrections

Try to stay away from angle connecters. (they aren't very strong) instead use the flipper segments or side attachment points on extenders.
Try to stay away from cheat parts. (I know it is more fun) I got chewed for using them as well.
I think you could run that off of 3 ant batteries if you aren't using a burst motor. I know it doesn't sound right but it works.
Try mounting your motors inside the chasis to save weight.
You might want to use more weapons. (I don't know if those will last long enough)
Also if you can come up with the weight try I think they are called door hinges for your wedges.

Welcome back.

welcome back?

that's pretty good for a newbie, shrink the chassis

thanks for your reply
i guess you´re right about the cheatparts - but i´m not sure which they are actually - the reactor and the burst motor ?

the gag about this robot is he doesnt need more weapons cos the flamethrowers lay behind the armor sheet (although its only carbon kevlar at the moment)

Ineptus · « **Reply #4 on:** March 28, 2010, 12:32:44 AM »

thx a lot
yeah at the moment i also think it could be downsized again- but then i couldnt replace the burst motors ...

i see custom parts, NEVER use custom parts in your DSL or stock showcase only in custom part showcase

...It's kinda... random ?? (But hopefully it doesn't fails unlike some other newbie's first bot)

Anyways, you might want to look at this.

Wel, you have the gripy wheels down, try shrinking the chassis and using multi extenders instead of baseplate anchors. They're a pain to use but smaller and lighter.

thissis the next version of my bot
i only used standard parts now
i used 5 mm steel armor and it still weights 784kg :-/

the flipper could be a bit more powerful and i didnt find a way to flip it over again when it lays on the back (using only batteries) - stupid bug
plz any hints ?

SKBT · « **Reply #9 on:** March 28, 2010, 06:30:40 PM »

Try using burst motors instead of pnuematic rams. The JX large is pretty strong. Also I think 5mm Steel is overkill I dont know though.

Ineptus · « **Reply #10 on:** March 28, 2010, 06:35:44 PM »

will i need stronger batteries then and which ones ?
and what 2 do with the weight remaining - any ideas ?

Don't use stock parts in DSL. Also, use metal hinges.

Ineptus · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2010, 06:45:24 PM »

oh i didnt know it must completely be dsl -
which are the stock parts ?

russian roulette · « **Reply #13 on:** March 28, 2010, 06:58:28 PM »

The parts that come with the regular RA2.

Sparkey98 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 28, 2010, 07:00:34 PM »

maybe he does not HVAE stock?????

they are the parts with blue backrounds.

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #15 on:** March 28, 2010, 07:01:08 PM »

Actually I think that the Fire Extinguiser part is a custom component, wich is basically super powered Stock Large Air Tank.

Sparkey, the ones with blue outlines are the DSL parts. Rest are either Custom or Stock.

Ineptus · « **Reply #16 on:** March 28, 2010, 07:10:29 PM »

so using stock parts in dsl is cheating ?

and which co2 bar would you prefer ?
i must admit i dont see any one else

Somebody · « **Reply #17 on:** March 28, 2010, 07:17:11 PM »

Stock in DSL isn't cheating, its just downright dumb. The stock parts have much worse stats then the DSL parts. Although things like Iron spikes, maces, and razor tips are updated and still included in the pack.
Obviously you didn't install it right because you still have the stock parts. Try downloading a whole version from Sage's sig.

Ineptus · « **Reply #18 on:** March 28, 2010, 07:19:54 PM »

nono - everything is set alright - dsl screen when loading - dsl music :-)
i must have downloaded to many custom things thats why myself is so confused

i´ll be using a dark co2 tank then and battlepacks batteries - right ?

Ineptus · « **Reply #19 on:** March 28, 2010, 08:24:04 PM »

3 mm titanium armor
3 battlepack batts
3 mini co2 dark tanks
7 flame spikes
1 storm piston for finisher
2 big jx for flipping

works well - but is there still any forbidden component ?
thx for answers
