Thats a replica right? Please say so.

Also its over powered and the drives aren't powerful enough. And you should use a blue control board, for some reason its lighter.

Use NPC-Fasts and strip out a bit of the armor so he can be extra fast.
And his spike is much more closer to the middle in real?

Seem as though this is a replica, it ain't too bad.

But if this was a proper RA2 bot, it wouldnt have enough weaponry, flatmotors arent great, it's underweight and overpowered.
And in case you used DSA, its the worst armour in DSL.

But yeah, as a replica, not bad :P

Actually, this is a surprisingly good replica.
 
Although, do what the others said. And make a nice skin for it, That should be fairly easy. I think it is actually Rammstein...
 
But other than that it's pretty good.

That idea would surely work better in stock.
Tribars in DSL are weak.
Piglets aren't powerful enough for a HW.
If you made the chassis smaller, there would be MUCH less empty space, and more weight for batteries and a better drive.
I'm not sure the srimech is going to be effective in that position.
What armour are you using?

its not a srimech its a axe Check the top of the extender

Well in that case I imagine its quite useless. The spinners would prevent it getting near any bots, for a start.
Title: LRA2's DSL Showcase
Post by: life robot arena2 on June 24, 2009, 04:01:26 PM
Well its better than the spinners
Title: LRA2's DSL Showcase
Post by: Weirdo on June 24, 2009, 04:07:25 PM
Well in that case get rid of the spinners =P

How do you mean? Do the spinners keep falling off? Not fast enough? Because to be honest, I wouldn't say thats a very good axe. Not having a go at you, but this bot could seriously use some improving.

Like a full body spinner? Or more of a glitch? And is that intentional?
You should put as much info about your bot as you can when you showcase them, it avoids people like me having to ask a load of questions before anyone can get anywhere.

And Don't get me started on that chaotic one.....

Stacking weapons is possible in real life (Customized weapons)
But yah, Its basically "A cheat".
Also, The chasis is too big... Make a tinier body & youll have weight for another row of spikes.

The replicas in DSL 2 suck and aren't great indicators of how "good" a robot is.
For a better indication, try fighting the actual AI.

LRA2 i am going to keep this very simple because of your disability. If your bot is a heavyweight then its should be able to beat other heavyweights. Not LW's, not MW's isnt that kind of common sense i mean come on. Use the thing between your ears thats why it is there.

Supervolts aren't in DSL. You should know that. :P

Anyway, that aside, T-Minuses have the same grip with Vlads, Tornadoes and Slippers. You're gonna need Technos for a HW or Hypnos of MW. However, the side panels are a nice touch. You're gonna have to rebuild it to a box chassis though since it's the most efficient chassis type. And add wedges, more weapons and more defense while you're at it.

Plus there is slot of extra space to be used that bots chassis can be shrunk a considerable amount. PS this has nothing to do with the showcase but I just did this on my iPhone yay.

^^^ I believe Pwnator beat you to it :P.

And I think the plow would be more effective if it was facing the front of your bot instead of being tilted 90 degrees upwards (see Hazardous Contraption).  However, I would first worry about the advice already given above.

Look at bots like Hazcon and Flash Back, they have two upper skirts to act as a wedge, but one skirt that gets under the other bot to feed other bots to the weapons.

@ LiNcK - check out Gravity Well's page in the wiki.

Empty space. You CAN make it smaller without the irons touching. Funny how you give advice about using a blue control board and not use it yourself isn't it? And thats a terrible paintjob. It would actually be pretty good; but you've randomly slapped two of the same decal and one of them isn't even centred. I know paintjobs aren't the most imortant thing but still. And I don't think anyones going to be impressed with you building a crawler, they're easy to build, garanteed to do damage and are all practically the same.

At least you could've used worse components. What armour?
Title: LRA2's DSL Showcase
Post by: System32 on August 25, 2009, 01:43:16 PM
What is it with the whole weight limit thing? If I build a FS that is 20 KG underweight, has brilliant turning, stability and fights perfectly I don't bother adding another unneeded or useless component that ruins the whole bot.

It's easy to build a 800 KG killer. It's harder to build a 600 KG bot that's better.

Infact, that's it. My next HW will be a 600 KG bot that beats 800 KG opponents.

Title: LRA2's DSL Showcase
Post by: RedSawn on August 25, 2009, 01:58:14 PM
Well, we can't bash it for being weak.

You might be a little short on battery power there. Hopefully those are NPC fasts, but that means you really need more power.

You have a bit of space to shorten the chassis without the spikes touching. That should save a bit of weight. Maybe you could give it better armor with that extra weight. (Since you say it's DSA, yeah, definitely get better armor.)

Quote from: System32;61744

If you're cocky, do a Dynamo. Build a 175kg bot that beats 800kg opponents. It kinda defeats your goal of showing wasted weight can be better, but it'd show you're a decent driver with a manly bot.

You could use another perm 132. Minimize the empty space. Wedges aren't needed for drums. Make the chassis smaller.

Hey, it's way better than his MM BW. :P

But you can improve your bot if you could add another Perm. But instead of having your drums spread inwards, attach the Perms side by side so you can have the drums spread outwards. Then add some metal hinge wedges on the sides. And if you can shrink the chassis enough, you can upgrade the armor. :D

And also, please plan the bot out in your head before you build it, that's what I always do. You will have to rebuild it multiple times though. Heck, I made a stock bot, Sellafield 2, and I had to re-do the chassis 8 times to get it right. You'll be proud of the finished product.

If you're going for IRL Which is what it looks like, Try using a Judge burst which will save a lot of weight, don't use a skirt inge wedge like that it doesn't look IRL, that Should Get it to a MW, also the beater bars on the flipper look weird too.

In IRL you shouldn't use metal hinge wedges, you only need to use ant batteries for the judge bursts ( not sure how many ) and doesn't the plate with beater bars in the middle stop bots from going up the wedges ?
Title: Re: LRA2's/Avalanche's DSL Robot Showcase
Post by: Avalanche on August 14, 2012, 08:18:23 AM
Yes but by the time they are up there I get a definite flip.Are you saying i should just shave some weight by ditching the plates beater bars and the metal hinge?
Title: Re: LRA2's/Avalanche's DSL Robot Showcase
Post by: Tweedy on August 14, 2012, 09:05:34 AM
If the beater bar plate stops bots from climbing the wedge then yes and the metal hinge should be removed either way which should give you a cruiser weight with weight left over for more armour.
Title: Re: LRA2's/Avalanche's DSL Robot Showcase
Post by: Gauche Suede on August 14, 2012, 09:07:28 AM
Those top most Beater are useless, and the way you placed the flippers to the judge burst actually decreases flipping power, just put the flippers directly to the burst motor.

Gauche is right, if you place the judge bursts higher up and have the first flipper segment attached to it as the top of the flipper.
And he's building a cruiserweight Massimo

Gauche, just stop giving advice. Seriously. If Avalanche doesn't want your advice don't insist.

And using caps lock in a serious argument is for morons.

2 judge bursts are already ridiculously powerful, you don't need to have the most efficient flipper shape.

However Avalanche, you should most definitely make a straight flipper, and attach an angled flippermaker at the end of your flippers so bots will go on your flippers more easily.

also these skirts aren't for self-righting, they actually get in the way of self-righting.

Not getting why you are using these hex plates or 2 Mag Snappers either...

Could be that he wants to start over, like I did.

Anyways, bot looks nice. Though you should build to the weight limit and maybe shrink the chassis. Unless it is an IRL bot, that is. I do appreciate what you did with the hex plates, however. Looks cool.

Anyways, you need to get the weight down to a mw. Your bot is utterly useless right now against a decent cw. If you're using a mag, assuming you're building IRL, change it to a judge. The hex plates look messy; look at other showcases (not mine) to see how they protect motors.

Change your flippermaker setup to something that doesn't break when you hit it once or twice.

Also I don't delete showcases unless the showcase is full of spam or offtopic.

Mostly everyone knows your past here Avalanche, removing it from public view isn't gonna change.

But yet again as you didn't immediately got whacked for being LRA2 when you came back, I say you have a good chance to redeem yourself and get out of perman00b status. So just move forward, I guess.

Granted my advice is probably far from the greatest, and feel free to tell me to stfu, but I must question the effectiveness of the ripping teeth. Likewise the Vlad spike on top. They both seem like extremely heavy choices to much better, lighter alternatives.


Might be able to get away with dropping the armour down to free up some weight, too. I dunno about anyone else but chassis armour (barring the bottom which can normally be solved by a half sheet) on a shell spinner to me seems like a moot point, if enough panels get ripped off to expose the chassis you're probably screwed anyway.

That bot comes later. Sorry for the DP, but I want to have a update noticed. This is my crowning jewel currently, Ruthless. It is a beater bar Poker that uses 4 NPC fasts to charge at its opponents, and SMASH them apart. This can utterly destroy bar HS, as it is surprisingly sturdy, and the rams it performs, although erratic, they still are absolutely devastating. Give this bot time, and it ruthless ly picks you apart.

lWhy would you put a srimech on a poker that you can make invertible ?

Why would you put extenders to hold beater bars when beater bars are already extenders ?

Why do you put useless crap on the bot's back ?

Also, use only large air tanks, they're far better.

Waaaaaaay too many co2 tanks. I know the burst pistons are intensive on co2 drain but one or two big ones should see you through, as apposed to one big one and 7(?) small ones. By cutting down the amount of tanks and using placement more cleverly you could probably shave the chassis down even lower, to the minimum height (it'll still accommodate the npc's). Ditch the shoddy burst srimechs and just go invertible with the hypnos/vlads like most good rammers. Use the freed up weight to add more/better weapons, my go-to for most things are beater bars tipped with light dsl teeth, but whether or not they're the most effective option I'm not so sure. The back armour is mostly useless but I suppose you could argue it looks cool, idk. xD

Bah, rear or side armor is useless compared to more drive or more weapons. Or more frontal armor, for that matter.

But if you want rear armor, try DSL bars or DSL sheets. Yes, you can make them fit even with hypnos.

I'm thinking that if you downgrade the armor a little you'll be able to put on more axes. Just one won't cut it for a MW.

Additionally, I only see four ants, which despite using ants being a good tactic in DSL 2 building, it's not so smart in DSL 3 as ants got the nerf hammer and hard. Also, make sure you fully power your burst motors in amps, you'll see the requirements in the description

I'll leave it to others to give you extra tidbits - I'm not that great at DSL3 myself.
Title: Re: LRA2's/Avalanche's DSL Robot Showcase
Post by: helloface on February 10, 2014, 12:02:31 AM
Don't put more axes. If you're trying to build IRL, the weapon is fine as it is.

TBD is on the right track with the batteries, however. Get 5mm Steel or 10mm Plastic and better batteries (ants aren't good in DSL3), and for future reference build to the weight limit.

I like it, it seems really compact for a MW. I'd go for more external armor (like say some plates or something), so it's a little more protected against spinners.
Title: Re: LRA2's/Avalanche's DSL Robot Showcase
Post by: rnifnuf on February 10, 2014, 11:49:11 AM
What size of VDMA R/P Piston is that? The larger it is, the more amps it requires to stay powerful. Based on the bot's size, I'm pretty sure that two PC-545's (the big orange ones) will fully power it for three minutes. Create a larger chassis that can hold two oranges/PC-545's.

I'm not trying to imply that more amps means more power. Once the bot's amperage requirements are fulfilled, the game stops caring about amps and looks at electoral. Electoral is the stat that affects battery life, and in DSL3, burst-based bots need large batteries with loads of electoral. In DSL2, most heavyweight hammers and popups could get away with using 11-15 ants depending on the choice of burst motor, but that changed in DSL3, when Clickbeetle balanced out everything. Now, for example, instead of 15 ants, it is generally more wise to use 2 PC-545's and 1 long black battery (longs were buffed in DSL3) thanks to higher electoral.

Smallest one. Rebuilt the bot with slimbody drive, hypno wheels, and made two seperate versions. Bull Hammer has a 25 KG Hammer, because why not, and Dynamo has the standard fire axe. Dynamo is now LW. Both are close to weight limit.

The skirt hinge isn't a problem at all craaig... IRL one could just weld the spikes to the plow and the plow to the width of the chassis.

Half of the uses of skirt hinges IRL wouldn't be made by skirt hinges at all. But we have limited options in RA2, so skirt hinge. (He could also do it via BFE and a few multiextenders, but that would be a heavier and yet more stable)

Fair enough. Alright.

-One wonders why you have a wedged chassis at the front when your design is a standard rammer.
-Random cutting teeth, they do nothing, aren't aesthetically pleasing and they don't add to weaponry
-To a lesser extent, behemoth hammers also look somewhat random. is it rear protection ? uh
-The hell is up with all this mess of flippermakers on the front of the bot ? half of them don't do anything, and it doesn't look good.

the problem with your bot, avalanche, is that you've had a lot of ideas and you tried to cram them all into the same bot. However, these ideas are in different directions, if you catch my drift, and it makes for a bot quartered between different ideas.

if you gotta build a design you gotta make all the ideas of the design work together. Here... they don't.

A bit bland for IRL atm, and too under-weaponed for standard.
Any recommendations to make it look better?
You could build a frame around the bot (incorporating the wedges or not), Motor/weapon protection, maybe a different or more elaborate wedge set-up.

The spike club arms aren't attached to the same point and the asymmetry is driving me mad.

wheel guards need to be brought into closer to the chassis, using angled extenders as the axe holders looks awful, the vlad wedge should be brought back so its flush with the chassis and the spike club arms look useless and dumb

^ mfw avalanche returns

I have returned!

To begin with, here is a robot that i've been working on for the past week, off and on: (Speed-Attack Flipper) Challenger Mk. 1. Or (S.A.F) C Mk. 1 for short. (You'll only get it if you know your Premier League football.) Built with 4 NPC fasts inside it, it is ridiculously fast when all the wheels touch the ground. It has larger wheels in the back to try and ensure all wheels touch the ground so the flipper has a decent wedge, but it hasn't been tested in this configuration yet. It runs the largest VDMA burst so that it has power behind it's flipper. It can be hard to control, but it's fun to use. I have an idea to convert it into a wammer or rammer, so there's food for thought there.

This bot will most likely end up in Badnik's tournament, alongside Raus Mk. II which is currently in production.

i was doing revision when i got a call

"team dark is kill"

"no"

so then i made this absolute work of art

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37287screenshot_84.png)

THREE. BURST. FLIPPER. IF PALADIN DID IT THEN I CAN TOO.

PREPARE TO FEEL ANTI-GRAVITY MOTHERF***ERS

Ok, now serious mode. Basically I got worried and concerned after I failed to beat Baconus in our challenge. I pondered how I could get more power, after all that would be cheating and un-IRL if I did two bursts, right? 1 word that answered my concerns: PALADIN.

excuse me for a moment: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Now that's out the system, a continuation of the story of an Autist at Work:

Hence, I gave into the new meta and built this monstrosity. I saw the success of Strychnine in Redditbots, so i took the good old Anti Gravity Chassistm and it somehow perfectly fitted 3 storm bursts. I then took that and CF'd in 2 metal hinges for some E-wedges (because it's not an Anti Gravity Evo without the standardised E-wedge) and then closed the game, before realising it was slow and was kinda sh**ty in the state it was in, so i spent more time and got what you see in the picture.

Overall, this took me about 8 hours to build, reusing parts and chassis. I think the armor's something like Tit 5 but don't quote me on that. I need to see if I can align the bursts better for a cleaner flipper. And the Yellow-Orange colour scheme will be retired as soon as i get the motivation to reskin it, because damn i miss the good old black and yellow stripes.

im gonna be frank the stacked emergency wedges are.... tacky.

id say you could make a better looking wedge from the steel/titanium panels and the accompanying wedges. DSC's IRL components pack should ensure you still have the Black/Yellow color scheme going on.

something like this:

alternatively, the beaters now have these new wedge styles that look pretty cool if put to good use

or, if you're creative enough, im sure there are other components that can double as wedges

the wheels intersecting with the chassis sticking out like that feel weird. i would make the side even and just give it wheelguards or have the wheels stick out slightly more so it doesnt clip through the chassis

the top panel kinda ruin the chassis shape too tbh. i'd get rid of it personally

Either make the wedge shallower or the flipper shorter. The way it sticks out the top right now looks pretty awful. I'd also personally go for a less boxy chassis shape but that might just be me.

Post by: Badnik96 on March 02, 2017, 08:42:48 AM
also the angles on your chassis that poke out where the wheels are look atrocious with the body panels you have.

i'm reluctant to change the chassis: it's sort of a running joke/thing that I reuse the Anti Gravity 4 chassis, and it fits the storm bursts too well. I do agree though. The middle flipper being long was for the purpose of trying to selfright when resting on the top panel but it's ****ing ugly so i'll switch that back to the same size as the other ones. Can i ask though: By flipper shorter, do you mean the middle one or all of them?

i've not got much inspiration for that level of wedge creation but yeah I agree they look sh** so i'll figure something out.

agreed on the wheels, i just hate having to scrap the chassis. i'll do that tho.

"IDK if its irl my dude, 3 bursts seems pretty silly for an IRL bot." wew lad

"It's a forward flipper with no width, it's gonna get rekt by HS" I could care less in all honesty. The AG series has for a long time now been about bulky (though this is bulky as in lots of height and boxy chassis, even with a sloped and thinner wedge), RW style chassis after the first 2 were too small and too fast, and I kinda like having a weakness to some bot types, makes it a bit more IRL. No point in making your bot invincible to all types, it's too tryhard for IRL.  It's why I haven't scrapped Raus after the Billet and Dominotrix fights.
