Title: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: Linxus on December 30, 2011, 10:32:03 AM
Showcase starts now!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16841Izara.png)
MW, Tornado Mer magmotor with Whyachi Tribar with 30 kg sledgehammers on it. 2WD magmotors drive, 5 ant batteries.
Destructive, but lacks on self-righting.
Titanium 1.

Not bad.  I would raise the motor up so the weapon doesn't cut through the wheels.  Also, last time I checked, tribars aren't that great because they're weak.  Use a DSL bar instead.

First post, the 2nd version's insides totally same, just TM magmotor raised up, and drive magmotors lowered. And batts underneath TM magmotor.s**t, they're different!
Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: The Ounce on December 30, 2011, 12:00:55 PM
Better?
Yep.  You can switch to wide ant wheels since you have enough weight for them.  Compared to the wheels it has now, they're tougher and have more grip, meaning your bot will move faster.
Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: MassimoV on December 30, 2011, 12:09:35 PM
Not too bad. Try using metal hinges for your lower wedges.

2 Astroflights for drive, 2 BSGs for flipper. 6 ants, Titanium 3.

LW Sheck Spinner, obliviously.
2 Astros drive, double magmotor(forgot it's name) spinning the shell, 4 or 5 or 6 ants.
Disc isn't armored, just a light blue painting.
Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: ty4er on January 04, 2012, 09:21:49 AM
well it's not that bad but you could get rid of some of the shell panels and put the razors on the disk and put the razors on flails (if you don't have enough weight shrink the chassis to make it super generic :P (but good)

edit: 2222 posts woo




Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: madman3 on January 04, 2012, 10:56:49 AM
whoa bro it only needs a standard magmotor. With the weight saved from that (i'd also remove a couple of shell pannels) I'd put some razors on flails.

The bolded part is a lie.

I'd replace the existing astro drive with a single NPC, drop down to 2 or 3 ants (one ant per spin motor- at the moment your bot is very overpowered), use a mini wheel, drop a shell panel or two and put on as many flail razors as you can cram on.

Of course, if you replaced the dual mag with a single mag, you could fit more weapons on. But it wouldn't be quite so OTT or spin up as quickly.

Titanium 1, IRL realistic.
Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: NFX on March 08, 2012, 11:43:07 AM
I do like the idea of that. Although the weapon's pointing the wrong way, it'll kick the opponent into the ground instead of upwards. And the skirt hinges look a bit flimsy to me. If you axle load the drum out of the way and mount the skirt hinge higher up, so the wedges look similar to Plunderbird 2's bulldozer blade, that would improve it, in my view. I might change to Mini Wheels as well, Micros really aren't very good, even on IRL bots, in my view.

Sorry I don't spell everything right  :gawe:. The design might want to use flipper segments over angled extenders.

Yeah, i know, that bot works otherwise, but there is some look-alikeness in their working style anyway.
Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: NFX on April 07, 2012, 01:22:31 PM
Does remind me of Piranha, yeah. Or maybe Thor from around the mid-90's or so. I'd class it as a hammer, personally, so it should be fine.
Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on April 07, 2012, 01:25:27 PM
it looks nice, but bots would probably go up too far on the wedge 9/10 times and it'd become more of a flipper with weapons

Thyrus is good, but I'd say maybe Scrap or Virus Bomb (not that there's much difference cause they're the same person) are the best. Or Classicus.

What did you use to crop the robot out of that? You can get a nicer effect using the paths tool in gimp.

And i'm not too keen on that robot, I think it should just be a full blown wedge personally, instead of a hammer rammer. Possibly some matilda teeth on top/bottom to stop things going straight over.

and where did you waste all the weight from ?
Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: ty4er on December 24, 2012, 05:10:30 AM
instead of one wedge in the middle, have two above the hinges with 80cm skirts on. and make it a true popup

Post by: Linxus on December 24, 2012, 05:23:47 AM
Thanks for advice, but i won't rebuild it, 'cause I literally hate popups and built one just for fun and cool looks, sorry. Gonna make something other, anyway.

Title: Re: Linxus's DSL Showcase
Post by: ty4er on December 31, 2012, 04:05:47 AM
2 bsgs + 2 npcs = 7 ants

it looks a lot better now, you could try moving the innermost skirts on the skirt hinges to the outside to make it wider though

(http://puu.sh/geBnj/b4946fb2da.png)

So, after three years, I decided to build something again... shouldn't be too bad for a first try.

Pretty fast due to 2 npcfasts and 2 regular ones, wedge+flipper setup works fairly good, beater bars do some damage as well. Tried to do a realistic design. still would be better to skin, though
