Title: King Mushroom's showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 02:58:33 PM

First things first, I am new here, so please don't bite my head off if I say something dumb!
Second, I have only had RA2 for 3 weeks and DSL TC for about 1 week, so I am not all that good.
But I decided to post my creations on here anyway.
Helpful criticism is welcome.

Firstly, my first robot, Havok...
Nothing special, only a flipper, and gets beaten... allot! =^(
(Hope this doesn't break the tables...)

Please:
Crop your pictures, we only need to see the bot not the rest of the screen
Show us an inside view of the bot as well
Give us the weight
Give us the armor.

Welcome to the forums!

And to help you with your bot, we need to see the insides.

NPC fasts would be a better choice... And ant batteries.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on July 19, 2010, 03:06:34 PM

OK:
1. Build to the weight limit, this could be trimmed down to a Middleweight
2. DO NOT use E-Teks as drive, for this you could use NPC's.
3. Titanium 5 is way overkill on this, use Titanium 3 or Plastic 5.

Good use of chassis space though, that isn't something we see in all newbies.

And Hydro, this doesn't need ant batteries, BattlePacks are better for burst motors (IIRC)

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 03:07:22 PM

Ants?
would they provide enough power?

EDIT: Thanks for all the advice, but this isn't my latest bot.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on July 19, 2010, 03:08:50 PM

Well for spin motors, yes. For your bot, no.

And for future reference, 1 ant = 1 spin motor.

Wrong. Depending on the burst, just use a set number of ants. Altogether, that bot would need 6 or 7 ants depending on what sixe JX that is.

Some thoughts:

*Those E-Tek's aren't meant for driving; they're meant for weaponry. There are E-Tek Drive versions in the game. However, in your case, you can easily downgrade to NPC Fasts and add on Hypno or Techno wheels.
*It may be an overkill for battery power. Then again, I'm not exactly certain how much power you need to use a flipper with a Large JX Burst. The others know and know well... at least the vets do.
*The oddly shaped chassis probably isn't doing many favors, since it would seem that your opponents would just glance off the front and attack you with no fear of getting flipped.
*Also, shrink the chassis. Having a smaller target for your opponent to hit is always a good thing. One of the big things these guys taught me to do is to take the height scale and click at the very bottom of the scale (not dragging it). That will lower your chassis a fairly good amount, saving you weight in the process.

All told, the robot looks like it could be a somewhat effective middleweight.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 03:27:16 PM

Thanks for the reply, I built this robot when I got DSL, so I didn't know about the E-Teks

Also, the chassis shape is very affective actually, for the pointed front get
underneath the opponent and when they glance off they often hit the part for the
wheels and flip.

This is the second version of the Havok design, Havok 2
This one has two Razor tips on storm pistons so it isn't defenceless and a tilted rear end
so if up-ended, it rights itself.

Post by: G.K. on July 19, 2010, 03:31:56 PM

That's too slow and overpowered. You need at least NPC Fast/Hypno for that, drive wise, peobably 4wd of that or 2wd NPC fast/Techno. Only needs 6/7 ant batteries depending on size of the JX motor.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 04:06:02 PM

Havok 2 is surprisingly quick, and the flip-up is quite affective.
But, in my opinion, the yesterday-built Havok 3 tops all.
And here it is...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7829screenshot_9.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74604screenshot_10.jpg)

Yes, I know it is over-powered! I like batteries! But it has NPC Fasts and a powerful flip-up.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on July 19, 2010, 04:08:39 PM

I would get rid of the side hammmers in exchange for something else.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 04:15:21 PM

They need to be there, there the side srimech!
I just put razor strips on them to make the weapons.
Originally, where the two big batteries are, there was a vertical saw blade.
That's why the back is shaped weirdly!

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on July 19, 2010, 04:23:26 PM

 :welcome

Way overpowered, this needs 12 ants, 6 for the JX large, 2 for the drive & 2 for each mag snapper
Replace the mag snappers with bsg's (they are just as powerful but lighter), bsg's also need only 2 ants each

Good space management though ;D

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: ianh05 on July 19, 2010, 04:26:39 PM

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 04:29:04 PM

I had no idea that ants produced enough juice, I thought the bigger batteries were better.
I also hate disused space, so I fill it up with Battlepacks!

Instead of doing that, just re-make the chasis so that it is smaller

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 04:35:42 PM

I usually get to the space filling stage when finished, changing the chassis deletes everything, right?
Also, just noticed that my pics squash so the bots aren't as short as they appear.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on July 19, 2010, 04:40:36 PM

Try & make smaller chasis in the first place.
Most of my MWs have 3X4 squares, 4X4, or even 2X4 at minimum height.
A lot of the time, HWs aren't much bigger

EDIT: Nice avatar

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 04:47:55 PM

Suits, doesn't it?

Anyway...
I just built another Havok...
Havok 4
This one is lower, invertible, not so many batteries and
has the circular saw that was meant to be on Havok 3.

Hi!

Liking the chassis design, would look cool if it wasn't so big. If you're going to do a HW flipper, use a Beta. I know it might be hard getting all the power for it to be awesome, but trust me, its worth it. The chewblade isn't doing much there, and I would remove it or make it a LOT stronger.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on July 19, 2010, 04:58:07 PM

IMO, HW flippers should have either 2 beta springs or 4 JXs (I tend to use 4 small JXs on my HW flippers)

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 19, 2010, 04:59:09 PM

What armor on those?

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 19, 2010, 05:12:57 PM

Armour is all steel 5 or 10 for Havok 4

These flippers are actually quite powerful, it can throw many robots out of the Robot Wars arena and DSL TC championship arena.

So, you want a smaller one eh?
Here goes!

if you want the saw move it forawrd.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on July 19, 2010, 06:05:57 PM

On the new Havok, the saw is unrealistic because the flipper passes through it. This cannot be.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 19, 2010, 08:37:34 PM

DSL=realistic. Always build to the weight limit of a weight class. BSG-200 Burst Motors are better than Mag Snappers, so use them. Do not use Any Aluminum armors (very inefficient), or the really heavy armors like Steel 5 or 10. Steel 5 and 10 are overkill.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Stagfish on July 20, 2010, 01:34:40 AM

Antblade=Fail blade

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 20, 2010, 02:21:27 AM

Thanks for all the help guys!
But the Mini Havok has the saw at the rear because it is undefended, I didn't notice it passed through.
I am in the process of making a Mini Havok II. Same chassis, Al 3 armour, still a Mag-snapper (only one that fits in the chassis) but the saw
now horizontal at the rear and passes through nothing.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 20, 2010, 03:27:37 AM

Sorry for double post.

The horizontal saw was a fail on many levels, so I cut it completely from the design.
I tried using the MSG-200 for the flipper in a slightly larger chassis design, and it couldn't lift the
wheel in the test area (the flywheel that belonged to some American robot, forget who). With the
Mag motor, it made the wheel hit the ceiling and flipped the car 360^o back on to its wheels.
Sadly the srimech makes the bot fly wildly around the arena, too powerful!

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: ianh05 on July 20, 2010, 03:56:09 AM

i think you only need 4 ant batteries max for that robot, replace the one at the front with an extender and attack a weapon to it facing out and up about 45 degress (use the angle connector) so that when you flip a robot it will hit that weapon smashbox style, you might also want to make the wedge 20cms longer.

you should check other showcases for tips on what weapons to use :) some are much better then others.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on July 20, 2010, 03:56:53 AM

That is a mag snapper, not a T-Minus or Judge Snapper?

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 20, 2010, 04:04:55 AM

Vertigo: It is the third burst motor in the list, under the two MSG-200s.
Ianh05: 1 battery more = Havok physics engine flipper malfunction, the bot jumps too mush
1 battery less, and it doesn't even lift the car. One of those balanced situations.

Also, what are the weight restrictions for AW and BW?
I think can make that into a AW flipper and a BW popup (is that where stuff comes up underneath a bot fire-storm style?).

Edit: Just flipped HW Second Sentinel OOTA on DSL Tournament arena! Just a test!

Mush

For your first question, AWs are 125 kgs or less, and BWs are from 125.1 - 175 kgs.  For your second question, yes.

the Car is tough to lift for any LW, try flipping some crates to test your flipper as other LW's won't weigh as much as that car.

About the AW thing, I have edited Havok MinII to have less batteries but still flip the car 360 but weighs 174.2kg, so just a beetleweight! Might add batteries again and make a lightweight.
Also, I cant flip any more heavyweights OOTA, it seems to be a fluke, shud've got a pic!

EDIT: I have made a Havok Ant!

Noob Warz?

Well, your right there, I am a newbie.

And the Havok line of robot sucks due to lack of damaging weapons.
But I am making changes to the design 'till i get something that can beat a NAR AI bot.
All these can easily beat DSL AI apart from Grog, who still can get beaten by hitting him very hard
in opposite direction to rotation, knocking off a hammer and doing the Mauler dance 'till it flips itself!

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: FOTEPX on July 20, 2010, 07:52:01 AM

Might wanna reduce the chassis height, you have a lot of wasted space at the top.

No batteries as of yet because everyone's been saying that I have been overpowering my bots,

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on July 20, 2010, 09:14:48 AM

6. You need 6 ants at least for this bot.

I like the idea behind the invertability.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 20, 2010, 10:08:35 AM

Yeah, the controls reversing upon inverting were annoying.

I sense this would be a good time to teach you about the Slider Chassis glitch. I call it the Megalow Chassis, but that's just me. Basically, what you do, when you're in the bot lab and have laid out your chassis design, when you set the height, slide the bar as far up as you can, then click right at the bottom. The chassis jumps back down much further than you can get with a normal slider, you could save a couple of kg that way, and it gives your opponents less to hit. ;)
 
New bot looks quite interesting, although the top piston seems to pass through one of the air tanks. Might want to fix that.
 
Also, what weight class is this bot going to be competing in?

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 20, 2010, 10:24:55 AM

HW, based on Eye-stabber and Spawn of Scutter

Also, off topic I know...
My AI is all weird, I had NAR AI for a while and wanted to use the DSL AI for a change.
I downloaded a new DSL and only copied out the AI, and now I have NAR AI bots just going
strait into walls and attacking the walls??
So, yeah, can I fix that??

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on July 20, 2010, 10:31:05 AM

I reckon it might be something to do with the bindings not matching up with the bots. Though you might be better to seek GK or JoeBlo's opinion, someone who knows more about AI'ing than I do.

Another tip, Hypno wheels are better than Micros or ants, I think, I would suggest using those for your bot.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Scrap Daddy on July 20, 2010, 11:36:29 AM

Heh, I like a lot of your designs so far. As for the poker up top, you would need 6 ants. General rule for batteries is one an per spin motor(drive, or weapon motors) and powering burst motors with as much as the component description says. Oh and you should use the biggest air tanks instead a bunch of the little ones.

One thing I would suggest for that bot is to make it 2WD NPCF with technos or vlads or something since as is, it's wasting weight.

But yeah, good start :D

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 20, 2010, 12:10:44 PM

Yippee, RA2 DSL TC AI (mouthful!) is working!

EDIT: I have built a new Havok bot, or should I say Bots.
If one wasn't good enough for you then these TWO with a vertical flywheel between them should satisfy you.
These two fused Havoks have TWO Large JX motors (i think it is JX) each motor has 4 Battlepack batteries
2 NPCFs
Perm 80L with a DSL small (spacer) and DSL Small2 disk attached, with four small beater bars
Armour is Ti 5
Flipping arms are Titanium with steel panels on the ends.

Its a beast, best Havok yet IMO.

Sheck it out for yourselves, helpful feedback is welcome.
(I know I should've used ants, but the battle packs were easier to make symmetrical)

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 21, 2010, 08:14:08 AM

At least try to use BSGs more that Mag Snappers. With the weight you get you can use it for many other things. Also, the little points on the front of the chassis waste weight, and send off robots to the sides when they could go up the front of the wedge. Also, when the flipper's motors are up high on the bot, the flippers work better.

just remember white a chassis make look cool it can fill up a lot of weight in your limit.. so its best to minimize the size as much as you can
 

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on July 21, 2010, 09:30:52 AM

On Havok Gemini, I believe its overpowered.
1 and for Perm
2 ants for both NPC's
7 ants each for JX's

..so 17 ants total. The more efficient way to do it is 2-3 tall orange batts and 3 ants.

2 BSG's are strong enough for a srimech, I would just use bigger wheels though.

I agree with S_M, you could remove the top set of NPCs, and move the bottom set into the middle, give it some bigger wheels, that should work. Also, the chassis could be a little smaller, I think that could give yuo enough weight to use metal hinges for your wedges, they tend to work better than skirts.

Post by: SteveM4 on July 21, 2010, 01:27:45 PM

No pics yet, but I removed the top set of NPCs and found that the drums self-right the bot
(well, on to its rear really, but it runs on its rear anyway so :/)
Also added Iron spikes to the other side of the Perms so it can also right itself from its side

Used excess weight on armour. Now titanium 5

P.S. I am putting Havok Duo (was Gemini Havok,  but that's copying team Mace's Gemini) onto Robot Exchange.
I would do it now, but I don't know how!

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 22, 2010, 10:57:42 AM

This is probably wrong but...
I have found that the lighter the flipping arm, the more powerful the flip.
I use JX Large bursts.
Have a (relatively) long arc of the flipper
shorter = better

Correct me if I'm wrong but this has fared me well for while I have had DSL

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 22, 2010, 11:06:16 AM

That actually seems to be right. I've seen it on Second Sentinel in NARAI. It uses 80cm instead of 120cm skirts and flips much more powerful. Problem is, it has a heck of a lot more trouble self-righting.

@J24: Just put a Geared Beta Burst motor in a bot, give it some drive, spam it with batteries, and you'll be able to flip the car.

Same one. There are two types. One with a rod sticking out of the gears that you attach things too. It works like a burst motor. Very powerful. The other is as close to a 180 degree arc as you are going to get. Its a hammer motor. Powered by an analog switch to go back and forth, back and forth. Just like in the AI at frenZy and Beta.

I wanted to make Firestorm from series 3. It had an arm and tracks for pulling bots up.

@G.K. These are just for now, for the Ralistic Ai, I am only posting the good ones.

Also Panic Attack has been done by someone else. So I am sticking with what i got for now.

Cataclysm can beat Grog!! No immobilisation here, just full on trashed him!
For the experienced guys here this is probably an everyday occurrence. But it is a first for me.
Finally, I have built a bit that can destroy (not immobilise) Grog.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 23, 2010, 01:42:57 PM

Well J24, I go by the method of thinking up a weapon, lets say... a horizontal flywheel spinner.
I plan the chassis to accommodate a... Perm 132 or 80, depending on what you need.
I always plan a place for the motors and wheels, like on the Havok line of bots.
Lastly I put the weapon in first and then the motors and lastly, the power, 'cause ants are the smallest thing evar!

Some chassis plans I use and used in RA2 non-DSL

Chassis for Havok 2-4
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67787screenshot_29.jpg)

Chassis for RA2 flywheel bot Gouge
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98516screenshot_30.jpg)

Chassis for the Cataclysm line of bots
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44127screenshot_31.jpg)

Chassis for Havok 5 - ??
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38788screenshot_32.jpg)

@NFX, I looked on the youtubez how many ants a Beta needed, the vid said 15. I put 2 for motors and 3 for the sake of it!
Titanium 10 armour

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

anyway love the wheel guard system on the horizontal spinner bot thingy chassis design

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 23, 2010, 01:58:33 PM

My way of beating Grog

1. Hit him so hard that a hammer falls off and it goes psycho and falls over (Havok 2-4)
2. Flip it before he gets up to spinning speed (Havok 5)
3. Corner him and grind his gusts out (Cataclysm)

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: J24 on July 23, 2010, 02:04:56 PM

And by all means, please do not use skirt hinge armor. I think your pretty good, but that would ruin it.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2883Hawk 3.png)

Try this for a more powerful flipper (just an example). With the right chassis, you should be able to get in two Betas. This one has both fully powered, along with a Perm 80 with a disc in the middle.

He was the first implementer of it in a serious tournament robot. Very cheap because it can be mounted anywhere and is invincible because it is attached to the baseplate. Look at the collision mesh (hit F12) of the skirt hinge to know what we are talking about.

Apologies for the consecutive posts...

I have been looking at other people's showcases and seen everyone's building bots for Combat Cubes 4.
So I thought I'll give it a try

1st bot, Seranade, is a cube bot with 6 ant b...
Bah, just take a look!
Inside the chassis is 6 ant batteries and a control board.

2nd is a cube flipper called Havotic Cube

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/60154screenshot_74.jpg)

In the chassis is 8 ants and small ctrl boards
And here's what it does best!!!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52160screenshot_79.jpg)

Yeah, so what about Serenade?
Take a look!

Havotic Cube took a full frontal from Grog and the extenders stayed on!
But then fell off on contact with the wall!

I like that Panic Attack replica. I like it a lot.

Havok 8, use something other than the Spike Strip. Spike Strips have normals, use razor tips, or iron spikes at a push.

And I've been trying to think of a way to build a rep of Recyclopse without the need for modding, but then only thing I can think of is "Snapper On A Piston".

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

Post by: SteveM4 on July 27, 2010, 04:32:31 PM

I am not going to do it because the 'snapper on a piston' havoks like crazy upon contact with other bots.

Maybe some more replicas later

The chassis should be a lot smaller, and you want a wider wedge, plus a wider arm, enabling more weapons. Also, use hypnos for the wheels.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 29, 2010, 01:44:20 PM

The Havok line of bots all have the same style of chassis, helps in the flipping.

@Naryar, excess weight & space... Batteries can't hurt!

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: J24 on July 29, 2010, 02:35:22 PM

you could get rid of some and put some weapons on the top aswell to make it a little bit like HazCon (if you dont know what that is its naryar's avatar)

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on July 29, 2010, 03:28:21 PM

Or you could lower the chassis a ilttle, give you a shallower wedge, so bots ride up it easier, and you could maybe mount a weapon rack on the top, a bit like CRITICAL EMERGENCY to turn it into a flipper/wammer hybrid. Of sorts.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on July 29, 2010, 06:33:54 PM

I even read back through to check to make sure it wasn't there. :/

I would say less armor and more weapons on the drums.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 07, 2010, 10:52:54 AM

Even at Plastic 1 I can only make one drum complete with DSL beater bars small!

Thanks for the suggestion though!

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on August 07, 2010, 10:57:42 AM

You could get large beaters on the drums if you try eFFeing them. Try and get metal hinge wedges if you can.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 07, 2010, 10:59:23 AM

eFFeing them?

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 07, 2010, 11:45:55 AM

Needs more weapons on the drum, less armor and IDK about how well a drum hybrids with a wammer.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 07, 2010, 01:03:24 PM

The drums spin upward at the open end of the bot so it sort of acts as a flipper

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 07, 2010, 07:27:37 PM

Quick guide to eFFeing.

If you move a part over an attachment point, it will jump there to attach. Before clicking to attach it, you can rotate (or fire, in the case of a burst motor) the part you are attaching too, and as long as you never move the mouse, you can still attach the item even though the attachment point has moved. The collision mesh is still with the part, so you can attach other parts where they would normally intersect.  Also, while rotating the part (the drum in this case), the beater bar is not affected if another beater bar passes through it.
Go to the test lab and back and the parts are set back to their original position.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 07, 2010, 07:38:44 PM

O.o
That is an old Cataclysm there.
After hours of fiddling with it I came up with something.
The bot doesn't look that different so no point posting a pic.

I downgraded the armour to Tit 3
Added razor points to the rear DSL Bars
Changed the small beaters to medium ones
Added 2 more ants (so it lasted for more than 2 minuets)
Re-did all the hinge start and end points
Converted from NPCs to NPC Fasts
now at 798.6 Kg

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on August 07, 2010, 08:34:18 PM

You don't really want weaponry at the back, as more often than not you'll be facing your opponent head-on. Or flanking them if you get lucky.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 08, 2010, 05:12:37 AM

It is more of a 'I have weight to spare but not enough for Tit 10' moment.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on August 08, 2010, 05:34:49 AM

How much weight? Metal hinge wedges would be around 15kg or so from what you have now.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

You can't. RA2 doesn't allow parts to pierce a chassis, so its impossible to have an effective crusher without cheat parts.

Sorry, not a good interior pic really. But it has 4 ants for max power, 2 NPCFasts, Hypno wheels, Mag moter one like tornado mer's with Tit 5, had 170kg avaibable
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50250screenshot_152.jpg)
Updated version, same as above just used the 170kg and put a roll bar on top with some Mag Snappers with pick axe heads on top.

Now that you say it.

Just a thought, but has anyone produced micro parts. Because you can get the Ant blade & axe. Ant wheels, ant motor, ant batts.
Is there an ant spike or ant Burst or spin motor? Or even an ant skirt hinge or wedge.

has anyone done that?
Or has it been attempted and then 'said no to'?

It needs to be Forward not forward

Fire not fire (put fire instead of Fire for the smartzone though)
And Srimech instead of srimech

Nope!

Hate to ruin things for you KM, but thats not legal for the NAR AI Tourney as it has a Beta Burst. All weapons must be static or flailing :/

Unless Nary changes the rules.

Now I am attempting skinning!

I am trying to skin the titanium halfsheet for my new Havok bot, but don't want it in a dropdown styles menu.
So far I have the component in game but the preview is a white box and the game crashed when clicked on.
I have a Havokflipper.txt file in the components menu and here is the code:

Code: [Select]

name = Havok Flipper
preview = Havokflipper.bmp
dir = Havok flipper
model = Havokflip.gmf
type = extras
base = Component
passthru = plate_collision
description = The flipper for the famous Havok robots!
styles = default
damagesounds = sounds\ramplate_hit.wav
hitpoints = 1600
fracture = 40
mass = 13
material = metal(.4)
attachsound = sounds\cmp_generic.wav
standard = 1
Does that look right, I have followed Sage's tutorial and the one on beetlebros' site.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 20, 2010, 04:14:58 AM

I have a folder called havokflipper with a havokflip.gmf inside.
I have edited the code in the post above to the current one I am attempting to use.
Now the box isn't white, it has the preview I made just crashes upon clicking.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

Post by: FOTEPX on August 22, 2010, 11:55:34 AM

Nay, I'm still making a whole batch. On Mini Havok, can you make the chassis less tall and use poly's instead of multi's? It's not like it's gonna get ripped off...

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 22, 2010, 11:57:58 AM

Polys are stronger than Multi's and Multi's are shorter so are easier to work with.
Also, the chassis is low as it can go, even with the lo-chassis glitch!

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: FOTEPX on August 22, 2010, 12:01:01 PM

Really? Cool. I've just made a Controller Havok Machine, it uses 4 copals and 2 ants. The 2 copals at the front have ant spikes attached to them, and flail about madly due to havok, but don't send the bot flying. The other 2 copals are for drive. Does 400 damage, which I think is impressive for a Chicken Drill FW.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on August 22, 2010, 12:13:36 PM

I have found that Copals use 1/4 of an Ant batt's power and a Piglet uses about 1/2.
So 1 ant is good enough for most FW/AWs!

Same here. It took me ages to make the move from Stock into DSL. It was largely my failure in BBEANS 6 that started it off.
 
As for the chassis...well, there's really not much you can do with it. Front's too steep to be a decent wedge, and too shallow to be a decent ramming face.

Try to substitute something else for the backlash wheels, like maybe hypno wheels, or something else grippier. And Axe picks are bad for VS because they have normals, which means that they only do damage at the tips. On Atom Smasher, I would remove the Pole spikes and put some front armor on the chassis, because the pole spikes can hit the bot and stop the arms before the Hammers hit it.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

I would still suggest raising the weapon higher. Otherwise, a good replica.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on August 25, 2010, 06:15:12 AM

Personally, I'd make the weapon a bit longer, or the chassis a little narrower. Looks quite good, though. =)

As for Havoc, I don't think you need that much ants in there, but it's a fantastic looking replica, I must say. Well done. =D

Post by: NFX on September 14, 2010, 10:39:31 AM

That is a very bizarre robot, what does it actually do? Is it a side flipper, like Lightning?

I would suggest shrinking the chassis, making it a regular flipper, and have two hinges on the front with angled side panels, facing inward. Attach one, fire the beta motor, then attach the other one to avoid collisions between them.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 14, 2010, 10:48:49 AM

It obviously is a side flipper.

Where - mainly on the arm, but the chassis as well. You should have more than enough weight on a HW flipper with just one Beta and NPCF/Techno drive for armor.

I like the design. A few things of improving the bot: I would lower the chasis (but I don't know if it will effect the flipping arm) and I would also get a bigger weaponon the hammer. I would use vlads or hypnos for wheels.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

Bigger Brother!!

Although...

I do have a Havok 9 in the making.
Currently it consists of a chassis, NPCF drive, Hypnos, Beta with a titanium plate, and an E-Tek spinning thing, cant decide what to make spin though!

I would already lose the E-Tek, and maybe have a spike rack on the top to act like a wammer, like Critical EMERGENCY.

Seems a bit self-contradictory. A drum's main way of attacking is to hold bots to grind, and flipping them off doesn't help that. But I have built bots like this before and having the weapon really helps.

To be fair, the space management is quite good. Though I do think you might have gone a bit overboard with the batts. Upgrade the drive (possibly make it 4WD if you can, lose the perms, and have a static weapon rack instead of the drum. And use Hypnos instead of Minis.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 17, 2010, 02:14:58 AM

Needs a wedge and better drive.

And a Beta for self-righting is a massive waste of weight, i can selfright a HW with 2 BSGs.

Mags are equally powerful as BSGs, just faster, but drain 2x more electricity, plus weigh 10 kgs more.

Also they don't retract as well as BSGs.

a.k.a. Mags ARE a waste of weight when you can have same torque on a BSG for less power drain and less weight.

BTW, nice bump J24 :D

EDIT: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47122screenshot.jpg)
Made this a few weeks back, its one of my favourite bots.
This can dish out 3000+ point flips

Hmm, good bump.

I was only against bear because it was late and CBA at the time.

Innards tomorrow.

J24, the gyro-stabilisation is like Typhoon, spinns so therefore cannot be flipped. Inside Havok 10 there are 2 piglets with a DSL disk on each to make it more stable when faced with a flipper.

I think it's a cool idea, the wammer flipper part is a good idea definately, but the juggler part could work well aswell, infact it could probably be set up to feed the opponent bot back towards the front flipper part.

That is a loooot of ants, you only need 7 or 8 really.
And don't use that circle design, make it a cuboid so you can make it a lot more tighter.
I don't really get the point of the bsg's though, I get that they're there to self right but usualy a decent spinner can self right itself, atleast with a self righting bar.
Does firing the bsgs effect the bot while it's spinning noramally though?

Too true, but I am hearting that self-righting mechanism, even though corkscrew-style self-righters are lighter and stuff. With a chassis reduction and a few improvements, this could be quite a good opponent.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Pwnator on November 10, 2010, 04:42:11 AM

Actually, I'd like to see that in a shell spinner rather than a HS (KE is more than enough to self-right it with the help of a 80cm poly sheet). The Dictator II's design is somewhat underrated.

Doesn't look too bad. What drive's it got? And how do the wedges fare against Small Wedge components?

Post by: Scorpion on December 13, 2010, 01:34:21 PM

Strange, if mags fit you'd expect BSG's to fit.
Still, you're better of having a slightly bigger chasis to fit in the bsgs instead in the long run.
For the ridiculously small weight, make the chassis as tight as possible, use a multi instead of the baseplate and a better weapon, if you're sticking with one weapon make it as strong as possible HP wise and DP wise to give you some more stamina.
Perhaps even better wheels, probably wide ant wheels.

anyway a wedge would be nice on havok either a skirt hidge with a skirt or change to BSG's and put a metal hidge on it (better choice)

if you cant fit the BSG's just use Nary's ones, either by importing the robot into NarAI or by swapping the GMF files

Post by: Scorpion on December 29, 2010, 02:30:52 PM

Do that, but try and make the chassis a bit smaller aswell.
And put the ME right up to the edge of the chassis, you should be able to attatch the piglet straight to it then without the extra poly extender.

Post by: The Ounce on December 29, 2010, 02:52:08 PM

I'm pretty sure the extender is there so the weapon doesn't intersect anything.  While this can be fixed easily (just move the power components lower), he would still need the extender most likely.

Would adding stabilizers prevent it from Havoking?

The point of H15 was wedgyness and thick armour. I find that the 2 beta flippers are powerful, but no room for weaponry.

I recently made a 3 beta flipper, I even got it fully powered, but it had mehish wedges and pathetic armour strength, so no, not worth it.
For havok 16, have you experimented with bsg's? While it may take a little while to get the setup right, they're very good economy wise, I haven't checked, but I imagine more economical than betas overall, and it would be easier for you to sacrifice a bit of flipping power for more armour/better wedges or whatever.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Pwnator on December 30, 2010, 06:04:35 AM

2 Betas are pretty much all you need to flip anything OOTA. Second Sentinel can flip Big Stig up to the roof at certain times. You just need to fine-tune your AI and smartzone placement.

That's what I tried with H15 with a smaller chassis and amour. H16 will probably be going back to the JX bursts like H1, 2, 3 and 4.

You dont see many 4WD drum bots though. I call 4WD, AI it, and see how it does.

I haven't built a drum in ages...I used to be a drum fanatic, just look at my first few bots xD

If you dont want to do that though, shrink the chassis and add some more weapons. I dunno how light DS teeth + beater bar would do on a drum. :D

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on December 30, 2010, 09:26:00 AM

4WD NPC Fasts and Technos are VERY fast. And slightly hard to control unless you AI it properly. Definitely shrink the chassis, and use Pwn's trick of rotating the drum components 3 clicks as you attach them, and attaching beater bars to each other, making effectively 12 rows of beater bars.

4WD HW drums are useless anyway, excepted in stock. NPCF + Technos drive is more than enough.

I wouldn't say that spike strips make the best wedges. try using bars and small wedges or premade wedges.  For space management try finding that sketch that Linck made. By the way, where is Linck?

Looks like its to push the front down, thus giving it a lower ground clearance.
Flipper segments would be more effective though

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on December 30, 2010, 12:07:50 PM

I am using a Small JX

If you look at DTK, it has a device that pushes the front down, like Cassius had.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on December 30, 2010, 12:13:52 PM

True, it does have a lot of ground clearance

Use a flipper segment though:

Lighter
More hitpoints

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SKBT on January 03, 2011, 11:37:33 AM

First tell us how much weight you have to play with but first thing that comes to mind is upgrade the drive motors.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on January 03, 2011, 11:38:39 AM

200kg to play with.

Ok, what shill I upgrade to, don't want it too quick though.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SKBT on January 03, 2011, 11:40:49 AM

I'd go NPC normals with technos for drive, add a wedge, figure out how to add more weapons and if there still is weight left add external armor.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on January 18, 2011, 04:21:00 AM

That doesn't look too bad, I don't think. Possibly a little bit low on battery power. Try using some of the big 30kg PCP645 Batteries, you've got the chassis height for them, I reckon.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on January 18, 2011, 10:27:57 AM

You think I tried those batteries!

The chassis is far to low for them

@Nar, I think it is tit 3, how did you guess Titanium?

FOTEPX, do you want this for your crazy IRL pack?

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on January 18, 2011, 10:32:56 AM

In which case you can heighten the chassis a little bit to make room. A beta needs 21 ants (I think) which would cost you 136.5kg. 3 PCP625's and 3 ants, which gives the same amount of amps, weighs 27kg less. So in that bot you'd save 54kg to use on other things.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on January 18, 2011, 10:35:20 AM

This bot has about 35 ants, and works fine for ages, the retraction of the flippers seem fine anyway.

Oh, and it has relatively gewd wedges

I commend your ability to be constantly improving Havok while keeping the basic T-shaped design the same, steering away from Second Sentinel klones.


Also, I don't think anyone else has ever made as many as 19 complete iterations of one bot.   :eek:   The next most iterations I can think of would be Urjak's Bane series.  Go for the 20!

I know it is UUNNDDEERRWWEEIIGGHHTT but some are and cannot be upgraded.With any heavier armour the technos go inside the chassis for some reason.

I was going to scrap it until it started doing this to opponents.

I will show you guys, after it is completed.

I fear that if I show a WIP, people would not take it at full value that it is not finished.

It can now beat Grog in NAR AI in the same way.

Also, these are a few things I did for SkAI High that didn't get in.

Pay I present, TH3 R00K13S!

Hi guys...

Some bots, it is a showcase after all. These are WIP pictures, that means this bot has been changed since the pic

[Image bumped due to SkAI High discussion.

Weight and armour are not important, I am posting 5 WIP pics then the final one, so you guys can see the EVOLUTION (cough) of the robot.

Because only the SUCCESSFUL designs SURVIVE to be altered.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on February 14, 2011, 11:52:08 AM

I like the realism of the design, although it looks a bit messsssssy...

BTW, how are your SkAI High teams coming along?

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on February 14, 2011, 11:53:03 AM

Wait wuhh?

Oh, yeah. Hanky Panky is the only one left. I need an original and good design though.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on February 14, 2011, 11:57:50 AM

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on February 14, 2011, 12:27:36 PM

I want one that is weaponed, like Hanky Panky. But one that just flips and follows.

I am thinking of 2 betas with a weaponed setup that could damage and flip the opponents.

Ah, so like the DSL Hanky Panky then.

I was thinking along the lines of many weapons on the end of a beta to flip and damage the underside of the robot.

Basically a beta popup.

BTW, I have done Hanky Panky (again)

You may reject it though. But it is one of my better flippers.

It outwedges all but 1 Havok and flips many OOTA.

Single beta and allot of empty space because I used the original baseplate chassis from the stock bot.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: Vertigo on February 15, 2011, 11:57:58 AM

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on February 15, 2011, 12:02:06 PM

Bacause to keep it different from the other flippers.

Just the baseplate however, the chassis is very low and re shaped.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase

I am planning to do a bot dump here soon.

Files containing different types of bots will start to appear in separate posts.

First to be uploaded will be an entire collection of my Havok robots. These should be up soon.
Next should be other flippers and front hinged.
HSs will follow and lastly gut rippers.

Then a folder full of experimental rubbish that may be interesting.


Hope you like my parting gift.

All Havok bots from 1 - 21 including other Havoks.

@FOTEP, Brony and Brownie are different things. A Brony is a guy who likes MLP, a brownie as fud.

@Above 3 posts, yes you will.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on June 15, 2011, 02:36:12 PM

Well, it appears that I have gotten back into RA2 after a six moth break.
And during that six months, I have forgotten all but the basics!
I do remember some stuff though, like metal hinge>other one and 1 ant = 1 spin motor. Thats about it.

So, I am going to start my new showcase with the last two good bots I built; Havok 20 and Frontal Assault 3.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81193screenshot_2.png)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14699screenshot_4.png)

And the new one, and don't hold your breath for a new design/name, I wanted to start (again) with something familiar.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/20561screenshot.png)

Ta daa!

And for the sake of anything, I am starting back at Havok 1 for this. And it will probably be the last because frankly I have grown tired of T shaped Beta flippers, as I am sure you have too.

Ok, I know it needs work in areas, (mainly weapons) and it does only have one beta. I can't for the life of me remember how I got 2 betas + ants + NPCs into a chassis of similar design. Yes, I know its too thin, this is a revised one.

I am expecting either an uproar of 'Oh great, more beta flippers' or 'Hi KM, still working on that old design eh? Well, in the mean time we found out betas are rubbish'.

I honestly have not lurked the DSL showcase section in ages so I have no idea what the build quality is like now.

Glad to be back and making one lame return!

You can say that about any building era.
 
I'd suggest trying simply 2WD with Techno Wheels to save weight over 4WD and Hypnos, that'd allow you to use some more weaponry if you need to.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on June 15, 2011, 04:23:33 PM

Ha, while you guys were commenting on these, I built a few more!
(So these will have nothing to do with the improvements stated!)

Here's Toro, and it is too the weight limit...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47644screenshot_7.png)
Can't flip for toffee, but a bloody good wedge in my opinion!

Here's the same bot stripped down and is about 730kgs
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13842screenshot_9.png)
Wedge is pants, but OOTA bots from the middle of the DSL arena.
But then I thought 'is there a way to get Stripped Toro's power but make it heavier so the guys on GTM won't yell at me. Oh, it needs to stay cool'.
Then I came up with this.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33143screenshot_15.png)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6533Macro3.png)
And it is still underweight.
I truly need practice!

Then I got bored and made a MW version of FA3.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/13914screenshot_13.png)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85977Macro1.png)
This one is actually good (OOTAs most all DSL MW, not sure about Nary's).

I had fun, thats important...

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: NFX on June 15, 2011, 04:24:55 PM

Try either Techno Wheels, or a stronger front of the flipping arm to eat up the extra weight.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's 20% cooler showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on June 15, 2011, 04:28:13 PM

*facehoof*

I forgot about technos!

Also, I won't build anymore tonight. I need to sleep. I am mortal, despite what everypony thinks.

Oh, after testing all these new ones, I used Havok 20 for the first time in ever and realised how bad I became.

'Oh hai der Cranky, I'll just get underneath you on the first meet and flip from the middle of the DSL arena... *Cranky eliminated*.'

Thread merged with the old one. Are you afraid of bumping your old showcase because bumping is seen as bad? That's completely silly, it's ONE DSL SHOWCASE BY MEMBER else the DSL TC robot showcase becomes messier.

Also you have no hoofs (who the heck could type with hoofs anyway ?), nor are you a pony. You are an human. Please do not introduce more pony spam in the showcases, it might excite the other pony-obsessed persons to go and spam this showcase with ponies, that I do not want to have.

Not be critical, but that flipper would be torn apart by a good spinner due to the lack of any front protection. I think the design could use some fine tuning.

Yeah. If the opponent has weapons, I am screwed. The armour is tinfoil or something.

When I fought (I controlled) it against Sabre Tooth, it managed to get a small hit in. Lest to say my health went pop and nearly died.
Then I got under it and threw it over the fence  :approve:

Three front wedges like that, and the wedges at the side are a tad pointless, in my view. As are the upward-pointing razor tips. You could try a more conventional wamming rack, and perhaps toughen up the armour.
 
Titanium Halfsheet is only really useful for underside protection, directly onto the baseplate. Try a Full Sheet, it's got three times the HP for half the weight.

Assault doesn't need any wedges and keep the ponies in the pony thread.

That HS's weapon system is just plain bad. Quite a lot of useless components in there.

Also STRICTLY NO MLP references and posting of ponies will be allowed outside of playground.

Hello! I am back after 2 years! Thanks to Nerd^3 and his video.

I have been instructed to bump this old thread, so designs from here on will probably be nowhere near as good as they were before!

Anyway, on to my first bot of the revived showcase. I'll be honest... its pretty bad.

C86. Because letters and numbers sound cool.

Go on, give it all you got!


Also, as a side note, I can't get the 'Export' or 'Import' paint buttons to work at all. Any ideas on why that could be?

powering everything with one single black?

excuse me what are you doing.. anyway, disk would look a bit better with smaller beaters, NPCFs + hypnos master race, other than that it looks pretty nice

Spin motors only need 1-2 ants to power it for 3 minutes.

Not too bad if a little bland.

Yeah. It kinda has the bad habit of not winning anything, and getting really slow after like 2 minutes.

I'm reading through all the advice given to me back in the day, and then I'm going to rework this thing.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on March 25, 2014, 04:20:53 PM

Rebuilt it, looks way better now. And it can actually win fights!

However, the weaponry now has a habit of just falling off.

Oh, Armour is Titanium 5.

I think this is more like it. The other one was... lets not go there.
I kinda want to keep with the vertical spinner thing, works well.

Also, any ideas on why the paint import export thing is still broken?

Are there any baseplate anchors with right angle you can use instead of the alum extender + me combo?

Title: Re: King Mushroom's showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on March 25, 2014, 04:38:36 PM

I'd try to protect the mag, those things are really weak outside of the chassis.

What is it with me and vertical spinners now.

Anyway, some new bots.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42969F90 ext.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31623F90 int.png)

Armour is Titanium 3
I have forgotten how to wedges at this point. This gets outwedged horribly.

However, some showcase scanning and old critique reading reminded me of hinge and small wedge is best.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19124H798 ext.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3129H798 int.png)

Armour is Titanium 3 again, and weapon motor is a 6-mag ultra thing. So fast.

Not sure I'd the last one is Ninja IRL or Standard, then again who am I to accuse people of that. Maybe you could consider adding some protection to the motor or adding more armor.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on March 29, 2014, 12:49:46 PM

Probably Ninja IRL, bar the metal hinge wedges.

Title: Re: King Mushroom's showcase
Post by: helloface on March 29, 2014, 06:01:17 PM

I love the new upgrade on the first one.

The second however isn't quite IRL. The disc needs more support. Also the wedges & especially that titanium half-skirt look out of place.

Due to all the wonderful things that are happening, with Robot Wars coming back and all that, I have decided to re-download this game and DSL 2.2.
I would like to start getting the habit of building things again, and now I have finally learned to run RA2 in compatibility mode so it doesn't crash every 2 seconds, I think I can do that.

By far the best thing I have built in the past few days is the HW axe-bot Gladiator, using those new piston burst motor things.

Armour is Titanium 3

Also, the first time I have ever de-frocked Grog.

Hope you guys like it

Looks really good. Its a shame you don t havy any weight left to build a piston protection

Made another one that hits things. Works well when it lands a hit.

nice throw'n

you might want to mess with some setups like making the wedge shallower or adding a juggler type scoop on the back to maximize your surface area

I tried to re-make Gladiator to make it somewhat smaller and better. This is the end result. I give you...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56968Gladiator 2.png)

799.3kg of pure pain, with Steel 3 armour, its no pushover. The axe hits much faster and harder than the original using the large burst piston.

Comparison with the original Gladiator.
