Ineptus' DSL Showcase

[SKBT]

Comment from building real bots. Try to stick to one or 2 weapon systems. The more weapons you have the more the bots weight gets divided between each weapon and then something has to give armor, drive, battery, weapon affectiveness. So basicly I think one great weapon is better than 2 mediocre ones. Just something to think about when building a bot.

But about the bot. Looks like it scores high damage points with the flame throwers. Try to work on building a bot that is invertable instead of having a flipper to self-right. You will save weight and be able to have better drive weapons ect.

The dark tank is a "forbidden component".

Keep building and have fun :)   

[Ineptus]

which tank to use then ?

[Ineptus]

wise words
ill try building a flamethrowing bot which is invertible - which can drive on both
sides ..

did the community somehow declare a wedge to be the best one ?
only found something about that in an FAQ of 2008 :-/

[SKBT]

which tank to use then ?

puma co2 tank

Also you might want to use the edit button instead of double posting. It annoys some other people here.

[Ineptus]

oh i think we mean the same one
dark co2 tank with the "puma" on it available in 3 sizes



edit: smiley addet 

[SKBT]

if it is the blue one yes.

Edit: I see no dark tank in the most resently posted bot. So I guess it is name confusion.

[Ineptus]

(out of topic)
are there currently some online matches ?
ra2 united hatachi is obviously full ..

edit:

it is 3 times the mini version visible in the picture downright
(and sry me for the pictures but i have no mousewheel to zoom atm. :D)

[Naryar]

Stock in DSL isn't cheating, its just downright dumb. The stock parts have much worse stats then the DSL parts.

Untrue for some of the components, but generally yes.

You might want to download a clean DSL version from Sage's sig so you won't have cheat parts.

[somestrangeguy]

You might want to download a clean DSL version from Sage's sig so you won't have cheat parts.

I second this, the Flame Spikes you used on that bot are custom parts wich are counted as cheating.
The BFFF Flamethowers you have on the sides are normal DSL parts.

[russian roulette]

You should really install a clean version from Sage's signature, it will not tempt you to use cheat parts.
BTW Happy B-Day Sage

[Ineptus]

here it is - although i dont like it very much
invertible - but doesnt do so much damage with the new (ten) flamethrowers

flipper also doesnt work properly

did i use the right battery ?

thx

[Sparkey98]

give it smaller wheels, NEVER use slims, unless your me, or FB, we can somehow get them to work.

[SKBT]

First problem. Your bot is Unrealistic. Unrealistic means parts pass through each other. Your burst motor is going through your battery. That is not allowed.

You could do better with more battery power. For flipper drive.
The reason your flipper isnt working is you have two connected to each other. this doesnt work in RA2.
Try to use different wheels. There are better choices. Stronger grippier.
Lower your flamethrowers use them as armor.

I cant help much more without the weight and armor.

Those large panals look like cheat parts

Check out other peoples showcases for ideas and insparation. It will help with designing. There are simpler ways of building something like this.

[Sparkey98]

I built a duble DDT flipper fine

[SKBT]

There are better ways to build flippers. The BioHazard replica uses that setup and it isnt the best flipper around in RA2. (Don't argue here and spam Ineptus's thread please)

[Sparkey98]

I'm not arguing, just saying

[Ineptus]

yes although i used fast motors he isnt as powerful which is caused by the bad grip i guess
i´ll try to use smaller ones with motors in the middle of the chassis

do you know any working flamer bots ?
i liked the idea that the flamers are behind the armor shell (which is also kind of unrealistc)

but which batteries would you suggest ?

[SKBT]

Big black one if it fits. If not more of what you have if you are keeping the burst motors. Otherwise you need one Ant per spin motor.

[Ineptus]

here the next version

-fast motors
-796,4kg
-5mm aluminium
-snapper2motor +aluminium angle wedge works satisfying
-12 flamethrowers
-no cheatparts

critics desired again :->

[Badnik96]

Use a metal hinge instead of a skirt hinge and use Techno Destructo wheels if they fit.
