joo suck showcase!

[joo suck]

I just relized... There are no slap 'em silly files either! here is a pic and a .zip of my " slap 'em silly" remake.

Moving this thread to the showcase.  FYI, everyone here has just one thread in which they post all their bots, rather than giving each bot its own thread.  That's called a showcase.


(Interesting historical sidenote: I think Metal Virus was the one who started the showcase fad.)


As for the bot: that's a replica right?  Needs to be a bit wider, and I'm pretty sure Slap em Silly had 4WD, but the lightning spike is perfect for this.

Thanks... Sorry for posting it in the wrong thread... Anywho, I'll make it 4wd and wider.

It's no problem, how were you to know?

[joo suck]

Updated version: (no photos, sorry...) and a toejam battlebot. Just one problemo... My paint importer only works on my XP, can someone do a skin for me? (there is a paint templete in the .rar...)

[Natef]

Could we se some insides?

[cephalopod]

I can't do skins to save my life, sorry.

But I do recommend instead of putting the bot up for download and attaching the photos, use the image host on the main page (www.gametechmods.com). You can then copy and paste the first link it gives you, and you can put images into your post like this



Much easier than downloading them :P

Sure! Only of toejam and slap 'em silly though.... (I am working on others right now...)

Thank you for the advice, I thought that you simply clicked and they got bigger... My Bad.





My importer works now, I just needed to run as admin. :)

Just to help out a bit, I'll give you a bit of building advice :)
Okay, so these are replicas, so the usual 'shrink the chassis' and 'build to the weight limit' deals don't apply, but most of the other rules still apply.

Long black batteries (as seen in the 2nd bot) suck. You're better off just having an ant battery for each spin motor (this will even work with the biggest spin motor, the dual perm), but you do need full ampage for burst motors so, what I usually do, is put a few extra ants in.
Drive motor wise, Piglets aren't great - they're weapon motors, and similarly I think with slimbodys. NPC Fasts are a very popular option here.
Blue control boards weigh less than the green ones, but are slightly larger. They're generally more useful because of the weight advantage though.

I just remembered... it's toeCRUSHER not toeJAM, isn't it... lol?

Thanks, But I think I will keep the piglets on toecrusher, simply because I can't fit anything else in there... :P as for Slap 'em silly, I will go with the TWM3R drive motors... My importer stopped working again... So mabey someone could be a co-builder and skin it for me please?

Remove these ballasts you're wasting weight with them.

you do need full ampage for burst motors

About three quarters of the indicated amp drain. A Beta burst works well with 170 amps.

thanks... but without them, the bot tips over backwards. So they are kind of needed until I get to be a less "suck-a-fied" builder...

No they aren't use something else than ballasts for weight balance like a few more forward placed batteries or forward armor or whatever.

BTW, if you want to be a less suck-a-fied builder you'll need to improve your weight distribution skills... this includes ditching ballasts.

Piglet Brushless motors for drive SUCK. But also, post your replicas on THIS THREAD HERE-https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,797.0.html

And I would LOVE to see you make some robots, not just replicas :P

Well... I whipped this up for BOTM, but that's when I forgot my other account's name...

[G.K.]

That uses DSL parts. FYI, there are some people around here who might will definitely flame you for that. Just warning you. Keep DSL and the original game seperate.

[The Ounce]

Well this IS the DSL showcase section, so it's fine to use those parts here.

I'm guessing he just didn't install DSL correctly.

You mean for bot of the month? I thought last month's BOTM was a quote "DSL HW"....? Well, thanks for the heads up anyway!

I'm guessing he just didn't install DSL correctly.

what makes you say that?

[G.K.]

Oh. Forget what I said then. I thought this was a stock showcase because of the background.

Oh... that's why. I just have no UI because I have the download version of robot arena... I need to add it to the botlab, but it always crashes my game in the bot and team selection screen.
