Chassis can be smaller, only needs 2 ants, overweight and tell us the armour.

You don't really need to axles, and your weapon bars would be better off rotated 90 degrees.

Post by: Hard Bot on February 27, 2011, 07:42:22 PM
It's a middleweight, not a lightweight.
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase

oops it weighs 248.0 and yea it only needs 2 ants but i like to but a extra one in and armor is steel 1

i that axles made things stronger

ok i'll rotate the bars 90 degrees

any other ways i can make it better?

Post by: SKBT on February 27, 2011, 09:00:56 PM
I know this is going to sound stupid but make the chasis wider so you can have your wheels farther apart. RA2 is strange in that the further away the wheels are the faster a bot spins.

Heh. Reminds me of my old bot Ring of the Apocalypse. It's not bad, but hammers on flails aren't that good. Try replacing the hammers with hex plates with 3 razor tips on each. Should perform much better.

here's super slap 2

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19207screenshot.jpg)

same as the first one but with 6 razors insted of the 2 sledges
plastic 5 insted of steel 1
and weighs 244.9

battle shot

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97185screenshot_4.jpg)

it's not that much better it does more damage but the razors are so weak they just come of really easy. i do think it's a bit better

no comments? well here's a ok AW

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/998screenshot_8.jpg)

chassis could be smaller but it might havok i'll try to make the chassis smaller
and a battle shot

Try to use the side AP from the multi extender for the weapons and yea, that chassis could be a lot smaller.
Also get better wheels.

Also get better wheels. These are fine


The LW SnS is good for its type but the 1WD NPCF + Techo ones are better due to more weapon weight.

Pretty good for a start.
This, no offence, but from your other posts around the forum, I wasn't expect you to be a solid builder already.
Also, yeah, what SM said.
Also, for the ant I suggest maybe using better weapons than irons, maybe heavy DS teeth? Or ofcourse you could go for razor spammage.
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: SteveM4 on February 28, 2011, 10:51:32 AM
Personally, I think SnSs are no brainer's, build a thing that spins with hammers/razors. Just my opinion.

Post by: ianh05 on March 01, 2011, 09:47:07 AM
also you don't need that many baseplate extenders, instead use an polycarb. extender of the side of it and face it outwards and just place your razors along that line will save lots of space too.
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: SKBT on March 01, 2011, 10:29:29 AM
If you really want to be different you could mount all the razors on a skirt hinge to save even mode weight.

heres a BW VS i made today

armour is steel 1

it has 2 titanium skirts to bring the bots in

and it just bealy beat microwhirler

and it needs a name so if you can think of a name for it please tell me
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: Vertigo on May 22, 2011, 11:32:39 AM
use small ant wheels, drop the armour to tite 1, take off the beater and add two more razors
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase

i removed the beater bar and put 2 more razors on it

armor is now titanium 1

and it has a blue control bourd

sorry about the picture i put the wrong one in

p.s how do i get razors claw?
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: FOTEPX on May 22, 2011, 12:12:39 PM
Razer's claw can only be accessed legally in Nar Ai. Otherwise, rename your bot to Cheatbot2, and then search through the extras. Also, you have enough weight to put the large ants back on.
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase

UBER MEGA BUMB OF BUMBNESS.

i want to make a HW POP UP and wanted to know i few things.

what burst motors should i use?

and how many batts do i need for the burst motors?

and how many weapons should i put on each burst motor? and in what set up?

and what kind of wedges should i use? small wedges on DSL bars on metal hinges? or polycarponite skirts on metal hinges?

thank you
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: GroudonRobotWars on March 04, 2012, 09:16:49 PM
You will need to use either JX's or BSG's, you should need a few ants(Not sure of the exact amount), about maybe 4 or 5 razors for each rack, and Small wedges on metal hinges should work and you would need a half sheet to protect the chassis.
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase

with the DSL bars?

It probably would be better with small, depending on how big the chassis is.

for the hw popup, get the jx's external on an me just above the chassis. you'd also want 1 or 2 full sheets protecting the chassis.

a MW pop up i made yesterday

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12203screenshot_2.jpg)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84375screenshot_3.jpg)

it weighs 396.2

it has aluminum 5.

a small JX with 4 razors.

8 ant batts.

NPC fast.

and a fair amount of empty space.

the main problems with is
(1) the lack of weapons 4 razors on a MW is not much
and (2) the motors (mainly the small JX) end up smoking alot
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: ty4er on March 05, 2012, 11:51:36 AM
change to npc normal + vlad wheels

and downgrade the skirts to titanium and get one in the middle

then see if you can extend the wedges
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: NFX on March 05, 2012, 11:53:47 AM
It looks okay to me. I'd drop down to Mini Wheels and 3mm Titanium armour, though. And swap the DSL Bars for something else, they're too heavy to be used as wedge extenders, I think. Perhaps swap the Bar + Wedge for an 80cm skirt, depending on how wedgy it is afterwards. Following that, you should have enough weight for an extra couple of razors on there. The NPCF's will be fine, Anything other than NPC Normals (NOT Left or Right) only has 400HP, so dropping to Normals won't be worth it, I think.

if i get rid of the skirt in the middle and make the ones on the metal hinge aluminum are polycarbonite then what should i do with the extra weight?
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: Gropaga on March 08, 2012, 04:36:28 AM
every sort of armor
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on March 08, 2012, 11:03:43 AM
No, don't downgrade the bottom skirts! If you're gotten under or hit wrong with polycarbonate skirts they'll fall off and you'll lose your bot's effectiveness.

I would definitely get rid of the middle skirt and add more armor though.

Are those NPC Fasts?
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: NFX on March 08, 2012, 11:10:56 AM
No, don't downgrade the bottom skirts! If you're gotten under or hit wrong with polycarbonate skirts they'll fall off and you'll lose your bot's effectiveness.

If you're using a popup and you're gotten under, it's a fairly safe bet you're going to lose anyway. So the poly skirts should be fine. Do get rid of the middle skirt, though, and perhaps add angled skirts instead of straight ones to better fend off spinners and prevent flanking.

This is a full body piston puncher thingy

the wheels and frontal protection are mounted on a long2 piston so when the piston fires the chassis gets thrust forward and goes through the frontal protection

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49432screenshot_19.jpg)

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/79140screenshot_20.jpg)

It has

*Plastic 3

*2 Ants

*2 Large CO2 canisters

*4 Razors

*2 Large beater bars on the frontal protection

*All extenders are titanium

*The skirts in the front are steel

*Weighs 395.2

and is this the first of it's kind?

question 2) It it combat effective?

question 3) Does it AGOD at all?
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase

Post by: Mr. AS on May 30, 2012, 08:52:33 PM
that seems.... interesting. does seem a bit fragile with all of those exposed extenders and the very exposed npcs

not too sure if putting motors on other motors like that is "realistic"

Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on May 31, 2012, 09:10:15 PM
yeah something to always be careful of is that if your wheels are too big compared to the chassis it'll havok right out of the arena on impact (aka the "nasty pickle" glitch), so try getting smaller wheels like ants and see what happens, then see if you can get 2 poly sheets on instead of one
Title: Re: logannarutos dsl showcase
Post by: logannaruto on May 31, 2012, 09:33:42 PM
I gave it wide ant wheels and a metal hinge wedge but now it's realy slow and can bearly turn

The chassis is U shaped
Scoop attached to the disc because i could not find any other way to attach it

it weights 398.6
And it has empty space but IDC because it's just a concept bot.

to get something to help bots get on top of the disc, first move the piston back a bit, ditch that skirt on the back, get a skirt hinge, and then rotate the skirt hinge until it actually helps bots to get into the disc.
btw, does the wedge have AGOD?

Random original bot

Damn, someone's obviously been looking at the GTM skype group and stealing mah ideas! D:

I think you'll want it a tad wider. More weapons wouldn't hurt, and you could replace the Steel extenders holding the plough for flipper segments. I expect you could ditch the plough all together and use a large skirt that doubles as a back stabiliser and trapper. That sould give you a hefty chunk of weight.

And if you can Trov, you can Trov the chassis part that holds the NPCs for some weight.

just saying top pokers are pretty useless. If you want a good gutripping poker, go the Insectoid way.

Updated version.

Theres now a flipper segment in between the skirt hinge and the titanium sheet.
The point of that being that it's at a better angle to get bots on top of it.

I got rid of the scoop and just used a skirt.

And added more weapons.
The BB's might be useless though...

And no AGOD.

you only need a 80cm angled tite skirt for this. With the weight saved you can try a flatter weapon combo(beater bar attached flat to the disc+ds light/razors).

Let better builders judge Gauche's advice before you whack him, Freeziez.

I am getting seriously sick with the school of thought "Gauche posted in the showcases... IT MUST BE BULLsh** ! Let's whack him !" that I have visibly started cause roughly half of his advice is bad.

Hell, even himself is getting used to this. THIS SHOULD NOT BE.

His advice is exactly what I would have said. Though LN could lower the skirt down a bit.

Judging by the dancing, a storm burst seems a little too powerful for this. Try a VDMA to see if it's less bouncy. If not, you might as well turn it into a generic juggler really.

I gave it.

A smaller trapping skirt.

A VDMA instead of the storm burst.

And added more weapons.

It bounces less with the VDMA but it does still bounce.

Instead of flipper makers, you can use beater bars or 1 40cm tite/steel skirt.
Also alum is bad, plastic and tite are the best choices if you war looking to get the most protection for your weight.
*Edit* Could have sworn I saw flippermakers...

White Pistons are one of the few things that I would recommend putting inside the chassis when possible.

Also lighten the extenders and use heavy plows.  You don't need steel extenders when it's almost completely covered.  Also Plastic 5 or Titanium 3 are better options.

Mounting everything on a 4000HP DSL disc in the center is a huge liability.  Since the edge sticks out a popup or gutripper will almost always be able to hit that.  Remove that, add 2 multi extenders on the 2 corners to mount the plows, connect the bottom titanium sheet to the halfsheet.  and 2 more multi extenders, 1 for the piston and another for 2 titanium sheet on top.

You can do lighter extender work if you get rid of the disc and only use ME's.

A walker i made.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92306screenshot.jpg)

The legs are powered by low power servos.
The polycarbonate extender is to keep the chassis from spinning, The chassis still ends up spinning after a few steps though.

And A video of it walking.

Cause having 2 thirds of a leg is cool  :gawe:
No the real reason is i was not sure if a should count the polycarbonate extender as a leg are not, and what i meant by 2/3 was 2 are 3 legs, but i messed up a bit... again.

This bot needs a custom 2 sided servo so the legs can move in sync.
