Title: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Larrain on March 15, 2010, 06:26:28 PM
About time I started this.

This is my first -showcaseable- DSL bot.
It is nameless for now. I have an idea for a name but I'll save it until I learn more of DSL.

Extender work could be better (just use one ME for each motor), and use Vlads for this instead of shinies.  For armor, I would recommend 3mm plastic or 1mm titanium.  If you have leftover weight, use it for more weapons.

Overall, not bad for a first bot.   :bigsmile:

Looks like my LW The Plague, but with a better motor, I see Ounce beat me to the advice mentioning. The bot ain't that bad, nice work.

For your drive motors use Multi Extenders, one side the attachment point is farther out than the other so you have to rotate it 180 degrees for a good fit, (Thats 18 turns 10 degrees per turn)  Do the same with the weapon motor, just turn it 9 times to get it pointing straight forward! Overall a very good robot, as it was said upgrade the wheels to vlads, and if you have extra weight add some more weapons on to that disc.

Thanks, that's what I did, though before you posted it.
ME's are kind of tricky to attach facing where you want it to.

Anyways here's my rebuild. Spent some time shrinking the chassis, built it 6 times.

Increase armor
Typhoon spike on the disk in the center to keep the weapons of the ground when inverted like Vengance has.

 I know defer to better builders than me.

Struggle and try to fix an AX2550 on this.

Perm 80s have still really low HPs.

I now gave it 3mm Plastic. Heavier and stronger, I think it's at the weight limit..
A Tornado spike works better I think, and also doesn't ruin the color scheme that was resulting on the bot.

Should I switch to a Typhoon spike or stay with the Tornado one?

Ok, CB changed. It's just 1kg lighter, though.

The Perm 132 just didn't want to fit there, if you meant I had to change it.
It was colliding with the drive motors. When I could finally attach it, the weapon would make the bot go overweight, even before changing the armor. I want it to be a LW :P So if I gave it a Perm 132 it would have a disc with only one iron on it...

EDIT: I forgot to say I switch drive motors to "TWM3R Drive" ones, because it had weapon ones before.
Noob me :P

Looks good. Someone will pick up something I missed. The tornado spike does look better.
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 16, 2010, 10:49:45 PM
It's a good bot so far.  The Tornado spike is 15 kgs though; that's a lot of weight when you could use a Typhoon spike or a light DSL tooth for 4 or 5 kgs.  Or perhaps you could use a beater bar on its side--that will keep the disc low to the ground when inverted.


Suggestion: Put a spike on the bottom attach point of the Perm's axle.  This will help stabilize the bot and also protect the motor a bit against gut-rippers.

Post by: Larrain on March 17, 2010, 02:52:22 PM
Oh, I forgot about beater bars. :P Thanks.

There was a 20cm. polycarbonate extender on the bottom AP of the axle already, but.. Gut-rippers in LW division? Are there?

Thank you all :gawe:

Use a Typhoon spike instead of a Tornado spike and use the weight to add some bottom armor.
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Larrain on March 17, 2010, 05:49:14 PM
Yes! Bottom protection xD

Collides with either the wheels or the perm.

Maybe because they are NPC Fasts and havbe 400 HP ???

Nce botname, btw.

But don't the mags have 400 HP also...? XD

Yup :P

Excepted for the TWM3s though.

This is a huge bump. Not as huge as some others, but still huge. And it's my own thread.

I was planning on building a SnS. Any suggestions? I could never understand how you arrange the components on these...
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on August 22, 2010, 01:20:36 PM
Small chassis with multi extenders attaching the drive either side. The rest depends on what weapon type you want.
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Gazea2 on August 22, 2010, 02:14:56 PM
I depends on what weight class you are going to build it in. To give you an idea on chassis sizing, I made a middleweight SNS with 2x2 cube chassis.
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase

Build some and we'll help you.

I ended up following all three posts. First, I was going to post this because I really need help if I want to build an effective SnS, I made a 2x2 chassis (That was actually a coincidence) and used multiextenders to attach the motors.

Here's my weak result:

Ok. It has DSA armor since I forgot to put some on, and I built it in maybe 5 minutes or 10. So it's merely a test bot.
It's quite maneuverable when on it's feet and up-side down. It isn't very fast, and haven't tested it against the AI yet, because I'm not sure about it's capabilities. In other words, I don't think it will do well.

Ultra-low DP. Loads of Razors would be better.

Good job for a first SnS. You do have 50 kgs. to play with. You might would like to switch your weapon gear to sledges or a lot of razors. A few more tweaks and it will be good.

Ok, thanks. I put the axes there just for the sake of SnS' having weapons.

Thanks. I will experiment some more with the design now.

What would you swap for what?
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 26, 2010, 09:21:17 PM
If you wanted better motors, I would go with NPC Normals for this bot (more HP and higher speed), but if you wanted to do better wheels instead, you could go with technos. I personally would get better motors
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on August 27, 2010, 01:08:00 AM
Technos are overkill on a LW. Instead of spinning freakishly fast, it would just fly up walls or speed towards the other side of the arena due to the extreme grip. Technos are fine on MWs, but stick to Hypnos for LWs. :D
Title: Re: Larrain's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 27, 2010, 03:43:40 AM
NPC fasts are awesome, but with the choice of motors we have, using technos on a LW is indeed overkill.

2WD NPC Fast + hypnos is a good LW SnS choice.
