Here it is,my FIRST bots showcased in RA2 DSL please meet..THE INFERNO SERIES

While not terrible as IRL bots, they can be better.
Insides please?

Well, they do look aesthetically pleasing, but they don't look too efficient.

They're not bad,but the weapon is a little fragile,but they are quick and hard to hit.
-
You only need 1 ant battery per spin motor, I think they would look better if you angled the weapon motor down and made it an angled FS.

Good idea,how can I angle the motors
-
For the tornado mer gearbox and twm3r you'll need to use a baseplate anchor placed lower in the chassis so the motor doesn't stick out of the top and what motor is that on Inferno?

Looks like a Slimbody to me. That, or a Flatmotor.
-
If it's a flatmotor then either use the same method as the other motors or attach it directly to the side of a ME.
-
Tell me that isn't a harry pottre motor

its pretty sad that every n00b bot nowadays is automatically assumed to be IRL by the public.
as for the bot... (deep inhale)
chassis is way too large, and you only need 1 ant per spin motor to start off. your chassis could be a 1x2 cube, and you could attach all the part you need on around 2-4 multiextenders.
fireaxes (and most weapons with normals) are completely inefficient on spinners, and the fact that you have a single spinner will render the already bad wedge (due to lack of metal hinge wedges) useless.
inferno needs to ditch that weapon motor. if its a harry pottre motor than you are CHEATING and need to change it to a weapon motor such as a mag or a perm ASAP.
if its a slimbody than you are failing pretty hard at motor choice. slimbodies are for drive and not weapons.
248.9, 398.9, and 800. try to get as close to those as possible without going over.
and finally... read this word for word and MEMORIZE it: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=5739.0 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=5739.0)

Ive read that,but these bots are rated I for I build what I want how I want with whatever parts I want.

It is NOT a Harry Pottre motor it was a flatmotor but will be changed ASAP

so you still dont want to listen to what others say? whatever then. have fun building underweight, inefficient bots.

So basically you're automatically an IRL builder, because in efficiency there are a certain set of parts you have to use and if you don't then you're automatically at a disadvantage, like razors for weapons, NPCs for drive motors, Technos/hypnos for wheels.
As for the bots, those tribar extenders be fugly. Using a hexplate -> flippermakers setup will allow for a more decorative tribar, and you can adjust the dimensions more accordingly.
Also, the "use one ant for every spin motor" is universal even in IRL building, I suggest you use it.
-
If you'd like to build like the expert IRL builders, read naryars guide and lurk in some IRL Showcases. ( Like Scrap Daddy's or Plazmic Inferno's )

Then how do you explain my building style? I use parts that aren't considered to be the most efficient. I may not always be in the finals of tournaments or anything but they're still decently competitive.
And I kind of have to agree with AS here. You guys shouldn't automatically assume every new member is going to want to build IRL style.
-
Yep, that's why I always ask, "Are you going for efficiency or IRL?"

No. This way you're just putting him off. He can do what he goddamn wants as a building style. We're just here to guide him to improve whichever the bot happens to be.
Hell he can build full unrealistic if he wants.

then why bother showcasing them if you know they're going to be crap (or atleast you should know).
if this is standard dsl -
change the tribar to either a hexplate/dsl bar setup (hexplates dont attach to mags though) or just a dsl bar and use beater bars/hammers. get rid of the useless chassis wedge and make the chassis a lot smaller. get as close to the weightlimit as you can without wasting much weight.
if this is irl -
swap those axes for something that fits the tribar better, or swap the tribar for something that fits the weapon better. and get as close to the weight limit as you can (though here you can get away with a bit of spare weight if it looks good)

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, GTM members of all ages. Today, Kid Krusher brings to you his showcase of bots so bad they're good and one-liners so bad you'll feel like you're watching a John Cena promo. So without further a do(I bet you wish there was more hesitation, but there's not.) This robot is as dangerous as Amanda Bynes in a moving vehicle, and twice as hot. Its Firestorm! (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79757Firestorm_Splash.jpg)
Armed with a Fireman's Axe mounted on a 90 degree gear powered motor and covered in 1mm thick Titanium, this bot is sure to leave its opponents "Hot under the collar" Stay tuned for more bots.
EDIT: Why does the splash look SO bad? Oh yeah, because I made it.

Naryar shall smite thee for the use of ballasts.
-
Rule NUMBER ONE of GTM: Ballasts are taboo.
Second of all why do you have fire axes on the end of your wheels, it looks stupid and if you didn't have them you could have thicker armor.
-
Ok so no ballasts, I was using them to keep the front of the bot down and the fire axes on the wheels were mainly decoration and that I had weight left, and they fit the theme. So by thicker armor you mean 3mm Tit?

I think you should read Naryar's efficiency tutorial that is stickied in the showcase section.
-
Ok, Ill check it out.
-
You could of just throw batteries in there for ballast, instead of dumping in lumps of useless weights.
-
True, didn't think of that. But there already are 2 big orange ones behind the motors.
-
I know this has nothing to do with the Robot Showcase, but since this is my showcase I thought I'd show it anyways.

This is my new Texture for the Practice Arena, it has my name and old logo
If you can't see it too well, heres the full texture.

The original Shark Byte just chillin in its new practice arena, or as I named it "KK13's Testing Grounds"
-
You should make the texture file several times larger to make it look better imo.

Like how big? I'm not trying to make the design cover the entire floor, just the middle of it.

"Imagination only takes you so far, anywhere beyond that is insanity." Guess who was bored.(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58162N'Sanity.JPG)
My useless attempt at a Stinger-esque bot, this one is named N'Sanity.

Enter it in mah tourney :gawe:
-
it's... what ? Bland Stinger replica?

Don't test me mate.
-

Never said it was a replica, I was bored and had Stinger in mind and, of course imagination turned into insanity, and it created this abomination of a machine.
-
could we atleast have a better angle of it
and can you crop your pictures aswell

I'll get you guys a better angle soon, and this was done at like 6 AM with no sleep so I was kinda tired.
-

Nope, just your typical KK13 robot.

Yep, more style than substance, so IRL it shouldn't work. It does a surprising amount of damage.

BTW guys, this thread isn't dead, I'm trying to get better at building bots before I start showcasing again. So until then, enjoy my newest robot. :throne:
