Title: Merrick's IRL Designs
Post by: Merrick on February 12, 2013, 09:36:11 PM
Ok, I finally took the hint and made a showcase to get some feedback on some robots I built to feature in the potential Robot Wars style display tournament explained in https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,13058.0.html (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,13058.0.html) <<<<< that thread.

Here's a selection of ones I've built that I want to include. Be warned, it's in a spoiler because there's a lot of images.



I realise I seem to have a little bit of a thing for that chevron stripe. I'll make amends at some point to change it.

Anything you like? Any suggestions for styles of robot you want to see built for the tournament?

Many thanks. :)

some of them are quite nice, particularly the second from the bottom

you can always look at other people's bots and take some ideas from them. also having some supports on extenders/motors (especially on the second bot) makes them look more realistic

I've seen a lot worse from a kick off. Pretty good all round I think.

the first one is weird as heck, i think you just made some new kind of bot type
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase

It was supposed to be a drill attached to a self-righting lifting arm. Kinda like Ming Dienasty.

The second bot looks nice, and the fourth one is pretty cool. Not really a fan of the rest.

I'm still around, just not really posting. I haven't built anything I think is worthy of uploading and real life is getting in the way of actually putting together this display tournament.

Quick question, what are cheatbot2 components and where can I find them? There doesn't seem to be anything in the downloads.


I think they'd be handy in allowing a bit more variety to my designs (eg, Judge burst).
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: martymidget on March 15, 2013, 07:12:52 AM
rename your bot to cheatbot2, and they will appear in the tabs. Don't worry about losing your bots name, it'll stay the same.

Alright, huge post, lots of pictures.

Bashed together a whole load of prototypes and ideas. Very few of these will stay as they are. Whether they be streamlined, given a new paintjob, new weapon, whatever.

Just gonna throw out some possible designs.

Funny, because that's actually one of my least favourites! Or at least one of the ones that will definitely change.

Dunno whether it was the color scheme or maybe the fact it's a bit too much like Hellbent.

You're quickly becoming my favourite active IRL builder on this website. Keep it up.

That's actually a serious honour.  :eek:

I'll try and keep up the standard. :)
Things can only get better as well, if I keep practicing and experimenting. Need to learn how to do custom skins as well, but my editing software knowledge is horrible.

also the 8th reminds me of pressure's old hammer
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Kossokei on March 15, 2013, 02:21:53 PM
Aww, custom components.

Doesn't that mean he has to move this to custom components now?

Anyway, I love the personality in your bots. It's like each bot is a person, with its own look and personality and attitude and whatsayyou.
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 15, 2013, 02:28:46 PM
Is custom components going to be an issue? I was running out of ideas with the 'stock' ones.
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Scrap Daddy on March 15, 2013, 02:44:55 PM
no, as long as they arent overpowered
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 15, 2013, 09:54:33 PM
no, as long as they arent overpowered

I'm just using Judge Burst and decorative parts, IE Sir K spines, like on...one of the robots I showcased. With the scoop. I dunno.

(edit: judge burst is being used for front hinged flippers. maybe a couple of axes. Wanna keep it balanced.)

those are cheatbot2 parts, and in IRL we're lenient on cheatbot2 parts (for example, the MOE motor and the judge burst are rather widely accepted in IRL building)

Meanwhile, those custom components (the reaper parts from the ][cer pack I think it's called) I would think would be a bit of a problem. I dunno. I downloaded a ton of custom components and then learned that I shouldn't use custom components when I'm building competative bots when I was more new to the forum. I like that reaper bot though, and the scythe is a nice touch.
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 15, 2013, 10:14:21 PM
The reaper parts are from "Component pack D1 and D2", I believe. Not cheatbot2.

The scythe  doesn't even do that much damage. It's aggresive, etc, but lacks a killing blow. As I said before, much like Hellbent.

I don't think anything I've used so far will be 'overpowered' or able to dominate the competition.  :smile:
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 17, 2013, 09:03:23 AM
I tried making a vertical spinner.

Tested it too. Could have a very strong contender for this display tournament, so I intentionally snuck in a couple of weaknesses to be exploited. :L

How about a drum?
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 17, 2013, 10:42:51 PM
Ooooh, that's an idea. I have built a drum before but it was literally just a blue invertible box.

I'll have a go at that.

(edit: when I wake up later, anyway. Just realised it's 4am. Whoops.)
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Kossokei on March 17, 2013, 11:18:23 PM
Why does that sound familiar..

Also, The Highlander 2 has had a reasonably successful run, scooping up two second place tournament finishes. So the next step would be the third incarnation, correct? :gawe:
 
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36662The Highlander III.png)
 
797.9, Tite 5. 4 NPCFs and Vlads, same as before, but the drums are now powered by NPCFs too. Could easily be built IRL, but everything in the game is direct drive. Also 8 ants, so it can keep going for the full 3 minutes, grinding away at opponents. Added a nice insignia on top as well.
Oh, right :P

nah you said that though and it instantly reminded me of NFX's Highlander lol

Anyway, try building a shelled flipper or hammer (aka it looks like an SS but it's got a flipper or a hammer or something, like Revenge of Trouble and Strife) Should be a fun little challenge :P
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 18, 2013, 05:51:53 AM
Ha, mine's not quite as aesthetically pleasing as NFX's, though. I do want to revisit the drum design and see if I can come up with something a bit more original, but we'll see.

Your ability to make simple bots, yet catchy to the eye at the same time is quite impressive. I'm letting you know that I'm not a very active member in the forum and I mostly post in my own showcase. But somehow you're making me comment here, lol
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 18, 2013, 09:09:25 AM
Ha, nice. Thank you.  :thumbup

Still don't see much of the appeal in my designs. But then again, I see them practically every day when I boot up RA2 so maybe I'm just getting bored of them.  :rolleyes:

ANYWAY, these two aren't for the display tournament, but will hopefully be my first ever entries in a forum tournament (Battlebots 6).

A lightweight with twin discs called Cataclysm, and a mediumweight with horizontal bar spinner thingymabob called The Red Dragon. Bit of Welsh background going in there.  :approve:

(yes, I know they're not going to be competitive, but whatever)

Still completely stumped on what to do for a heavyweight entry, and I've never built a SHW before, and don't know how.

Might take Kossokei up on the challenge of a shell lifter.

That was gonna be my BB6 Heavyweight. But I think I'll probably go for something a bit more interesting, and reskin that one for the display tournament. We'll see.

There's already a couple of Robot Wars 'clones' knocking about in my files so one more won't harm (a 259 inspired vertical spinner and a Mace style lifter the main ones I'll be using).



So, Kossokei. You challenged me to create a shell lifter. I FAILED.

It's not IRL, it's completely ineffective in a fight, but whatever.

See if you can have a go at what I was attempting with this.

Hey, it ain't too bad.

Maybe use a Tazbot arm thing for the lifter, change the twm3r to a servo and it'll be a little better (And function better too?)

T'was a good try, I'll give you that :P
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 23, 2013, 08:11:30 PM
Feeling rather uninspired as of late.

Hopefully a bit of creative spark shall return and I can start some actual design work, rather than run-of-the-mill entries to bulk out the numbers.

So, I decided to dip my toes into the water of SHW building. After a couple of awful looking efforts, and a crash just as I was getting a design I liked, I went ahead and built a nice, generic, shell spinner.

This was gonna be my BB6 SHW entry, seeing as I've entered all the others.

LOL NO. Back to the drawing board when I wake up.

Thanks, but it's actually not very well built internally though. It just doesn't spin, too heavy. :ermm:

I guess I could rebuild it, but that would take ages and I doubt I could get it looking the same.
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 25, 2013, 09:23:37 AM
Built a new version of my SHW with a larger chassis, different shell, new weapons, and a dual perm.

This one actually works. Will enter it into BB6.

Not really, no. You can still trap your opponent between two bursts or servos if you do it right.

also #2 and #3 are def far cooler than #1
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on March 27, 2013, 11:54:04 PM
also #2 and #3 are def far cooler than #1

This surprises me, considering #2 is a brown box with a lifter.

I suppose the same could be said for #1, only with different adjectives...

So, DSL3 had to pop up the day after I said I'd make a start on AI'ing some robots.

Yeah, that didn't happen.

I played around with some of the shiny new parts instead.

Yeah, it's completely impractical. Very slow, weak weapon. Still, a design idea that can be transferred over and upgraded, no doubt.

So yeah, it's definitely been about a week with no progress at all. Yay for real life.

I've hated practically everything I've built lately, anyway. Need to be more innovative, but it's proving tricky.

Currently working on a crusher. I have an idea of what I want to do with it (I built a basic prototype using a bog-standard wedge chassis) but it uses a custom motor for the weapon which I downloaded from the website, so I may not post it here.

Seems like a waste of weight but it's pretty cool. Maybe some weapon supports.
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on April 07, 2013, 10:53:58 PM
Yeah, I was hoping the chains of two Perms would make it look supported, but I may go back and revise the design. It's what I tend to do now, anyway. Build a nice generic chassis, stick a weapon to it, then go back a couple of weeks later with an idea on how to make it shinier.

(quick response, I'm impressed.  :laughing )

It's a custom (please don't hurt me) motor I downloaded called "CRUSHER". I've forgotten which components pack it came in.

Really enjoying building middleweights at the moment.

This is D.N.A, 2 ants, 5mm Steel. Drive's a little slow, but it's definitely a design I can revisit and improve.

Now that, I like! If it's slow, it could be either the 5mm Steel causing that, the 2 ants (try adding more, or different power), or whatever you used as the drive motors.
Title: Re: Mazakari's potential tournament showcase
Post by: Merrick on May 06, 2013, 06:58:16 AM
Cheers guys.

It uses TWM3R Drive motors, but I may swap them out for NPCs. If they fit.

The armour may need to be scaled down too. Might even give it a weapon.

Or just rebuild the entire thing.  :dumb)


ANYWAY, after Cataclysm's catastrophic casualty in BB6, I made a sequel. Which is yet another middleweight.

Static wedges are awful, use skirt hinges or metal hinges.

By static I mean wedges on ME's or anchors, not non-flipping wedges of course. Yes if you want a correct wedge you're gonna need a burst motor (skirt hinges are one).
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Merrick on May 06, 2013, 02:26:56 PM
Fair point. Ah well, Cataclysm MKIII will just need to make wholesale improvements then. Better wedge, better wedge. Maybe not having a 6 wheel drive made of astroflights might help too.

Post by: Naryar on May 06, 2013, 02:34:01 PM
Maybe not having a 6 wheel drive made of astroflights might help too.

...Yes. Yes it will help a lot.

In general use the biggest motors you can and that provide the right speed for your design. Efficiency-wise, more than 2WD is incredibly pointless on LW's, mostly not worth it on most MW's except a few designs, and is only used on HW's and more.

Of course, if you think a 4WD or 6WD looks best, then by all means go for it. I'm just giving efficient building advice.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Merrick on May 06, 2013, 06:12:07 PM
I was trying something different. Turns out 6WD within the weight limit is no more efficient than a 2WD, which is a shame. But hey, you live and learn.

Maybe efficiency is the way to go....

that spinner... axes are generally bad on spinners, the pole spikes serve no purpose and the motor is very fragile.


Done deliberately for balance purposes.

An effective spinner (which is also invertible) would probably dominate the display tournament.

Fair points all round.

I'm coming fairly close to ditching this display tournament idea anyway. Time is running out for me to learn to AI, record, upload, and basically do EVERYTHING before I go to university and the chances of me having time to do it decrease even further.

I think I need to rethink what I'm going to do about this showcase. Maybe spend more time on building efficient bots rather than pooping out wave after wave of generic Robot Wars entries.

I'm not good with advice; I'll give it a shot:


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33229Maz%20Help.PNG)

Here, these look like they're floating, and with the remaining weight you have, how about two angled T connectors, with red extenders going into the chassis (on the outer extenders)?


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69247Maz%20Help%202.PNG)

Protecting your wheels is a good idea, even though I've never done it myself, hah. If you look at both pictures, they're just oddly constructed.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71508Maz%20Help%203.PNG)

You have two red extenders here, if you've placed them correctly, you could maybe have extenders going to the side (to outside the chassis), then next to the wheel, for a side protection; not cornered. If they aren't placed there correctly, you might have enough room to do what I said with two newly placed red extenders.


Again, I'm not good with advice, so apologies if it wasn't good!

Post by: Merrick on May 16, 2013, 08:37:35 AM
While I don't have time right now to read through and adjust the robot (going out in a minute woo yay actually leaving the house), I will say that while the wheelguards may not look useful in their positioning, they actually touch the floor in order to stabilise the machine. It kept falling over sideways everytime it's weapon span without them.  :dumb)
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Naryar on May 16, 2013, 09:16:44 AM
You don't need to waste weight protecting your wheels. They just need to be placed out of reach of your opponent's weapons and your bot needs to be fast enough to avoid wheel damage.

Rule of thumb : good speed + good offense = you win, in the vast majority of cases. You don't need defense to win, although always be careful not to have crippling weakpoints exposed.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Pwnator on May 16, 2013, 09:26:52 AM
IRL in general wants to have the least external components possible, which is why the roles of a wedge and drive protection are pretty much done by the chassis as well. Otherwise, it would take some extra effort to make everything look clean.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: ty4er on May 16, 2013, 09:27:35 AM
you really dont need a wedge for that, just make the front of the chassis longer or something if its unstable. and you could try and have those extenders at the back go all the way down the bot like some sort of spine.

i think just having the weapon further back is a better idea

Post by: Merrick on May 16, 2013, 06:58:59 PM
I appreciate all the feedback. I'll work on adjusting it tomorrow, I think. Not sure where I want to take the design, really.

Horizontal > vertical, anyway.

This one's definitely more combat effective. The wedge certainly works.
It gets under Bulldog Breed's front, anyway, which I tend to struggle with.

Get rid of the metal hinges and use a skirt hinge if you want a wedge. It can still be made effective.

Use the extra weight for stronger weaponry.

Please don't think I'm ignoring all your advice. You all know better than me and I'd be foolish to forget that.


The thing is....I just get new ideas instead of adjusting old ones.

This was gonna be a lightweight pusher. But the game crashed while I was taking screenshots so I haven't tested it in battle or taken any inside shots.

All I remember is that it was Plastic 1, two TMRsomething something drives, Hypno wheels and 247.0. Unnamed as well.

The bit without a skirt is the back of the robot. I figured that it was quick enough to keep it away from opponents. Kept the weight down too.


(yes this was inspired by savethewhale's comment of 10X10 CHASSIS WEDGE LOL)

yes the wedged HS does have a large amount of empty space. a dual mag is far too much for 6 LDS teeth as well. drop down to a single one and get some better/stronger weapons on there.

A rough first idea of the revised Pandemic.

Now with aluminium skirts, Ti 1, and some sort of spinny razor thing.

Yes, the skirts aren't aligned. The next revision will fix that, along with a better weapon.

Everybody seems caught up on planning their next Battlebots entries despite the current one having finished roughly 48 hours ago. I figured, what the heck, let's have a bit of a practice and join in. See what I've learnt from the tournament, etc.

Here are some rough prototypes and ideas that I want to incorporate into potential futute designs. Wham's possible RW tournament is one I have my eye on as well.

Maxwell's looks damn good, as with Fluorescent, you're pretty good at nailing the aesthetics of bots.

Harvester is perhaps a little too messy to look good, maybe with some fine touches on the extender work (maybe some small ds teeth on the extender ends or something) will make it look better. Still, pretty good.

That sounds like the best idea. Then you might be able to downgrade it to a tmw3r and use the spare weight on something else. If it's a weapon on the back it's not going to get much chance to do anything anyway.

Clearly a box on wheels with a weapon strapped to it.

If you want to know what the heck is going on with the said weapon, well, here we are.

Made sure the two blades don't collide, all the empty space is due to not wanting the blades to interlap with the wheels and internals. The iron spikes are there for extra damage and motor protection from rammers and robots that have the small chassis glitch that might get underneath the blades.

Yes, clearly I can recognize a HS/rammer hybrid, even a poor one.

why dsl bars and not something lighter and more weight for the weapons on your spinners then ?

also iron spikes are disappointing in general.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Merrick on May 31, 2013, 09:31:38 AM
I thought irons were meant to be alright? Y'know, with the all round damage instead of just the point. It's not for ramming, it's a motor guard that happens to be able to do damage. If that makes sense.  :dumb)

Irons spikes are "alright" in the "meh" or "can do better" sense, in DSL2. In DSL3 beta they become "just as bad as the rest"

Post by: Merrick on May 31, 2013, 09:54:43 AM
This is DSL2.1.

I see your point with the weapons though. I'll swap them out for discs and bring the armour down to 1mm Titanium from 3mm if the weapons become too heavy.

Now with TWM3R motors and medium beaters. Still 3mm Titanium. Not much reach though.

Wouldn't that still collide? when both DSL bars turn just a little bit that would make the beaters go through eachother, or so it loooks like that.

Ok, now here's an interesting one.

(it's not really that interesting)

(http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc496/TwonkySigs/RedDragon_zps838bd117.png) (http://s1214.photobucket.com/user/TwonkySigs/media/RedDragon_zps838bd117.png.html)

I tried messing around with a potential sequel to The Red Dragon (my most 'successful' robot) and toyed with the idea of a design similar to Twister (http://robotwars.wikia.com/wiki/Twister_(Dutch)) but it's not very easy to stop the weapon overlapping the components.

The main thing here is the invertability. The chassis tends to spin around when it goes up a wedge, which seems to be rather effective at stopping it being rammed and pushed around, while still hitting robots with the disc. Not much range though, and I don't know how IRL it is if it starts becoming a full body drum or whatever.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: MassimoV on June 03, 2013, 08:49:51 PM
I like the design maybe try to make the bar longer and make it lower.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Merrick on June 03, 2013, 09:02:15 PM
The problem I'm finding with that is that if I make the blade longer, it passes through the drive motors and I can't make the robot any wider. I could make it lower, certainly, but I'd need to downgrade the drive motors and I think it would be rather slow.

I could tone it down to a lightweight, maybe.

Maybe, but it can certainly be improved. The weapon, for starters.

I made the weapon bigger, better range, 4 large beaters, should be decent against other lightweight. The slimbodies plus DSL wheels make it fairly quick as well.

The only issue is the height of the weapon. There doesn't seem to be any motors that make the weapon any lower. Any ideas?  :ermm:

Use a DSL bar rotated vertically to attach the drive instead of a steel extender. Alternatively there's the widest shell panel to do it with too, but it's more fragile and the drive will be closer to the chassis.

Could you give us another view please?

Post by: martymidget on June 04, 2013, 09:13:25 AM
3-4 ants is enough for this, 3 the bare minimum. You can directly attach the perm to a multi extender rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise, and at the back a multi rotated 90 degrees clockwise will do the same. Those will save you weight for aesthetics and other things.

The question is, are you going for Standard, IRL, or whatever you feel like?

Though I'm sure there are better ways to improve the stabilisers for both styles.

It is simple : make it lighter and stronger at the same time. Both if you can, only one if you can't, but never sacrifice one for the other unless you have a good reason to.

Use proper extender setup and the best components to get the best extender setup.

But yes, I will make that in the following days.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Merrick on June 04, 2013, 09:54:45 AM
The idea with using steel in this case was more to look like a rear stabilizer, wheel guard and suchlike that would take more of a beating. I mean, Superheavies take one heck of a beating. Using the toughest one while I had weight to spare seemed the logical choice.

For example DSL bars are better than Steel Extenders in nearly all cases, except when you need a length that isn't a multiple of 40cm, or AP's at the ends. They do damage and have more hp.

I think the extender work is fine, just the stats in DSL2 is imbalance as heck.  To memorize which 90% of the components not to use is just silly.

Maybe you can switch to NAR3.

replace the sledges with flails + hexplates + 3x razors. 1 kg lighter than your current setup and will deweapon more easily. if it cuts your wheels than you could try using 2wd npc fasts.

Efficiency isn't everything, that's all I'm going to say.

I was under the impression that Naryar was saying my extender work was messy and unrealistic in the past, but having read his tutorial, I've realised he was talking about using space and weight efficiently.

I was looking for a sort of stabilising cage 'exoskeleton' look for the robot. The extenders are staying.

A mighty 13 pages, I showcased Dusk, my BB6 heavyweight, which would have the unfortunate draw of facing eventual champion Arsonist in it's first fight.


A couple of adjustments for legality purposes, and Dusk 2 makes a return for Helloface's tournament, now with full steel body armour and cage, new ramming spikes, invertibility and a disc.

A sort of lightweight prototype. Playing around with a smaller chassis design.

Post by: Pwnator on June 14, 2013, 04:54:55 AM
The weight you're supposed to save with a smaller chassis is pretty much wasted on that crappy drive extender work and to a lesser extent, your stabilizers. You can redo the setup using 3 anchors only.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Merrick on June 14, 2013, 05:04:33 AM
What would you suggest for the drive extender work then?

I was told to use DSL bars instead of 20/40/60 etc extenders last time I tried something like this, and now I'm told it's crappy. Not entirely sure what I'm meant to be doing with this anymore.  :confused:

By 3 anchors, do you mean multi-extenders/baseplate anchors? Because there's only 3 of them.


EDIT: It doesn't matter anymore, because I went back into DSL2 to take a picture of the insides, only to find the robot gone. It wasn't saved. what is this i don't even
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Pwnator on June 14, 2013, 05:16:06 AM
Oh, I thought it was DSL3. My bad.

But yeah, the drive can be attached to the same MEs that hold the stabilizers (attach them directly), then swap out the 20cm sheets and 40cm extenders for 20cm alu extenders and 40cm angled sheets.

Sweet. DNA's saw seems kinda pointless though.

It has a purpose.

And by a purpose, I mean that it originally had a flipper, but a LW Judge Burst flipper just seemed stupid, so I made it a rammer. Getting rid of the slot meant redoing the whole AU decal thing on the chassis, which I really couldn't be bothered to do, so I stuck something in the gap to make it relevant.

Yes, it's a crappy purpose, but it kinda looks cool, so I'll roll with it.

The wheel position bugs me.  It looks as though it's cutting strangely into the chassis (particularly the back corner).  I think it needs to be fully hidden or further out.

Weight issues. I originally used Tornado wheels, but they proved to tip me slightly over the limit.

All fair enough points.

I can do a hell of a lot better for a lightweight. I mean, look at Cataclysm from last time.

Sure, it was a crap fighter, but at least it looked cool.  :dumb)

You can drop an ant and use a blue control board in it's place.  Replace wheel with ant wide and stick something on top in the middle for self right.  Drop armor down to titanium 1 or up to plastic 3.

Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: Merrick on June 25, 2013, 02:52:23 PM
4.5kg left.

The issue with the blue control board is that I couldn't find anywhere to make it fit.

Also ant wides stick out of the chassis a bit.

It's on a servo now. Also it's less like Tazbot because I strapped a flywheel to it.

It doesn't tip forward or sideways when the turret turns.

On the subject of the horizontal disc, I experimenting with that too, but the reach wasn't too great. Rammer and wedges can just go straight under it.

I was thinking that if you used a horizontal disc, you could swing it into the sides of bots when they ram and cut off wheels and stuff.

You're wasting weight on extenders. Downgrade to aluminum and get more weapons.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: 090901 on July 05, 2013, 09:23:41 AM
Change the extenders to beater bars, change the extenders hold the drive to 40cm tite sheets and swap the motors for normal NPCS since NPC Fasts have awful HP (only 400 IIRC) or if you want to keep NPC fasts attach them directly to the chassis.,  put a halfsheet on the bottom and put a multi extender on top to hold 2 40cm tite sheets to protect the top side of the chassis.

The extenders are round titanium extenders, some of them have 2 razors, beater bars only have one attachment point on them.

Post by: ty4er on July 05, 2013, 09:41:05 AM
wtf are you on about mystic

i think it would be better to have a 4x1 chassis, put the npc's in the chassis and then have 2 layers of weaponry, instead of it being really wide. also those sledgehammers are kinda useless. use the 5kg beater bars with razors and have the end razors angled slightly, so the rest of the weapons aren't touching the floor (though you can use angled skirts if you have enough weight and aren't facing the rule of 7). i think using vlads would be better also.

Well it depends to where you are aiming for in life. I intend to go into robotics, so robots are a frequent thing in my mind.

"I'm running out of ideas" my ass.

To be fair, they're variants of an old robot, messed around a bit. Not entirely new. :dumb)

I really like those. It's the simplicity of your bots that really gets my attention.
However I think the first one would look cooler without the cage around it, but that's me.

Thank you.
While I agree the cage doesn't really fit at the moment, the Dusk series will have a cage around the robot as a sort of theme to tie them all together. I plan on making a lot.

After the success of Dusk 2 in my tournament, he thought he should continue on the Dusk name :P

Dusk 1 lost it's only fight and I still decided to carry it on. It just happens to be my favourite design so far.  ;)

Anyways, the flipper one is better because it has a srimech is the flipper two Judges like the original?

Oh s*** HERP DERP I DIDN'T MAKE IT INVERTIBLE

But yeah, it's still two judges. The motors are unchanged from Dusk 1, I just fiddled with the aesthetics (spike strips instead of Hworf spikes, new side panels, etc).

Very nice skin. I find it rather messy though.

Thanks. I'll agree on the mess, but it's just prototypes, the final Dusk 3 will be tidied up.  :smile:

You should turn the top spikes on the flipper version 180 degrees so they do damage if they hit the opponent.

Fair point. I'll bear it in mind if I keep the spike strip design.

The flipper looks great. Good skin aswell. I'd bring the side protection in closer to the bot's sides is the only thing.

Cheers. I do love my flippers. They are a bit sticky-out, aren't they? That's what I get for just building around the old design instead of starting the cage from scratch, I guess.  :dumb)

It's not really creative, it's every VS built by a new guy with some wheels on the discs.
I haven't seen that before...

anyway, I like it.
Well no one's used vlad spikes for wheels. If I did, would that make it good?
of course not

that would affect your bot's performance. What he's doing here, is taking the look of the (I can't remember the name of those wheels for the life of me) wheel and using it as sort of hub to connect the extender to the belt of the perm, finishing off the whole feigned-motor-support thing.

It also makes sense. Vlad spikes for wheels, however, does not make sense.

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with the majority. Originality wins over usefulness. Also those wheels look like anything but wheels, honestly. They seem to fit better in contraption of cogwheels and chain wheels.

I like it as well but there's only one thing that bothers me. It's the first IRL bot I see that makes me say that it looks under-weaponed for a SHW

Changes:

- Steel extenders downgraded to aluminium.
- Discs lighter, uses beater bars.
- Ti5.

That's very nice.

I do have one final complaint, though, if I may.

Now that the front support extenders are longer, to allow those larger discs, I think they now look too flimsy and weak  to support that structure plus the torque of 2 high power motors. I think that it's just too much stress for IRL standards.

I suggest adding one additional extender for each support and create a triangle shape from the tip to the chassis.

Find the spot where the bot was built (e.g. 3rd slot in team 4) and find that folder in your directory. Remember Team0 is the first team and Bot0 is the first bot etc...
You should find the bot file of your lost bot still in place, put this file into your robot designs folder and import.

The teeth is on only one side, causing that particular side to have more weight.

But, then again, you could just add the wheels right from the beginning, anyways, looks nice.

Even if that is the case, there are batteries and cutting teeth on the other half of the chassis to the burst motor/claw to even it out.

On the subject of the challenge, I don't see why not. No idea how to go through with it.

I like the first one. The fact that it is a weaponed flipper makes it far manlier than a flipper overall.

The second one... looks like another of these boring Robot Wars flippers.

get something lighter than a disc as well, like a 40cm Ti sheet. Or just angle your rear chassis for extra cool looks.

add spikes on it also.

I'm kind of with Nary on this one, the second one is basically like a lovechild of Dantomkia and Bigger Brother.

Sadly not, I've yet to have a look at the alpha. Just decided to boot up DSL3 and see if I could come up with a theme. Haven't build any DSL3 in a while so it might a nice change.

I have a day off tomorrow so I'm sure I'll sit down and have a look through the alpha.

Yeah, the front part looks out of place. Make it a flipper instead, then use one of the new awesome angle connectors to attach a metal sheet or whatever you call it.

And if you really feel the need to use all DSL3 parts, then use that weird wedge.

But I really like the rest of it.

It really doesn't.

All the steel extenders, spike strips, and the steel triangle wedge things means that it is just a sub-par lifter, rather than a beta-powered flipper.

Rule of 7 screwed me over, sadly. I might do it in DSL3. The square extenders in there will look much cleaner, and the DSL blade will actually be effective without beaters.

Wheel guards, fair enough. I'll shift the batteries around and bring the multi-extenders deeper into the chassis.

Not sure what you mean by 'tidy up the front rack'. It's all aligned on a skirt hinge.

Looking at the first camera angle, it looks like the wheel is off the ground. I assume it can move, since it looks like it has.

It reminds me of another robot, but I seriously cannot put my finger on it... and not the Wheely Cheese.
Atomic Wedgie?

Decided to try giving <MLFNCTN> a bunch of interchangeable ramming weapons.

Make the skin background the same color as the bot itself (IE: Not red) and it should fix it somewhat

Looks pretty cool, even though Mantis isn't really a class outside of my scrapped tourney idea

Well, it is NOW, bish!

To fix the glitch, just export the skin, and make the red areas that're causing the glitch a different color/pattern/design to what you want.

Make sure it doesn't fly around all out of control. That's usually a problem for bots like that.

I thought if there were only servos they didn't need batteries, but if there were other motors in there that need them, the servos would take up more power than an American takes up seats in a movie theater.

Post by: Merrick on August 21, 2013, 08:00:32 PM
From what I've gathered, the servos will eat up those batteries like I get through donuts, so I figured as I know nothing about walkers (hell, it's probably not even how a walker should be done), I figured I might as well use some of that extra weight for batteries.

Nah, I made a themed one for that. It's not very effective but I figured you don't see many guillotines around. Should be fun to watch as well, seeing as it keeps throwing itself over, Mute-style, whenever it tries to attack or self-right.

Mazakari, I gotta ask one thing. Do you use only DSL-standard decals and textures on your bots? If you do, I recommend to check out Massimov's Flag pack and the Sponsor pack (I don't remember who did that :( ) Also there are some good texture packs around the forum's download sections.

Over the last week or so, I've started using custom decals. Also going to start using different Photoshop brushes to create different textures hopefully.

Basically at the moment I'm just running some generic designs and testing out some ideas on them.

I thought you were only not allowed to request bots after you announce the competition. I'm pretty sure any robot you have in your Robot Designs folder, built by another person or not, could be used in a display tournament.

So, let me get this straight. If I was to say, create a display tournament, which in itself is basically a fictional tournament made for the sake of fun, that, say for example, pitted Scrap Daddys, Virus Bombs, and Massimos bots together and the only thing that came out of it were videos and splashes, I wouldn't be allowed to do it? Geez, if I wanted ridiculously strict ownership rules over addons, I'd go back to the forum I came from.

Anyway, brilliant as usual Maz. Do the front forks lift too or is it just the srimech?

i'm pretty sure that if you already had the bots then you could do a display tourney with them. you can't start up a display tourney and ask people to send you bots for it iirc

i like this one alot more, the other one looked real ghey, probably was the pink skinjob, plus "flip service" was a terrible pun.

that said, what bursts doe this use? just curious how good it actually is at flipping.

SHUT UP FLIP SERVICE WAS AN AWESUMSAUCE NAME


*ahem*

So yeah....

The main flipper uses a Judge burst and the other two are BSG-200s.

I liked the original Flip Service. It suited the lip service part.

The second version looks like the robot the team entered next series.

Flip Service, Series 3.
Flip Service 2, Series 4.
Flip Service Evo, Series 6.

Nice work on the three of them, Maz. Are the hex plates and beaters supposed to be eyes with lashes, or just a little gimmick?

Flip Service 2 isn't really Flip Service 2, it's just a reskin called Zero Tolerance. An attempt to be more serious with the design.  :dumb)

And yes, the hexplates/beaters were an attempt at eyelashes.

I see.

Well, I quite like the BSGs on it at the moment.

It lifts rather than flips, which is what I was going for, and the colour fits the skin.

Might look into those though.

On a more serious note, I did some changes to Ground Control and Lift-Off!, mostly involving connecting the 'roll cages'/motor protection, as was suggested.

I won't lie, I have no idea.

I didn't even really bother skinning it, I just exported the template into Photoshop and pasted this image (http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/taden/taden1201/taden120100141/12028082-background-texture-of-metal-plate-sheet.jpg (http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/taden/taden1201/taden120100141/12028082-background-texture-of-metal-plate-sheet.jpg)) over literally the entire file.

I'm not sure how I can change that but I'll try.

When you open the template in photoshop or whatever you use resize it to 512x512 or 1024x1024.
The skin will look more crisp but the downside is you will not be able to apply things in the in game paintshop once you import the texture onto the bot.

Sort of what I was going for. The idea of a spinning blade on a arm is pretty badass, and you don't see too many around.

downside is you will not be able to apply things in the in game paintshop once you import the texture onto the bot.

Ah, yeah, that'll be an issue.

I add sponsors and, more importantly, weapon slots onto the robot after I've done the Photoshop work.
Title: Re: Mazakari's Showcase (A bit of everything)
Post by: MassimoV on September 23, 2013, 09:05:03 PM
You can open the sponsors up in the same image editting program as the skin, then just copy and paste it. You can add the slots on before you export the template and just check the little box when you export the template.

Right, so yesterday my PC decided to pack in and I lost all the graphics that I made for Warzone.

(http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc496/TwonkySigs/image_zps591b7588.jpg) (http://s1214.photobucket.com/user/TwonkySigs/media/image_zps591b7588.jpg.html)

Fortunately, my main DSL 2.1 copy and robot design folder was on my external hard drive, so they're fine. I just need a bit more time to redo the graphic design. Instead of putting Heat One up this weekend, it's probably going to be pushed back until next weekend, which is annoying.

In the meantime, I decided to mess around with a middleweight crusher design.

Put it in warzone 2
Looks great. I love the chambered S3 wheels, it looks really nice with the skin. Also I like the blend of DSL3 & 2 components.

Decided to experiment a little.

It's basically a 180 degree lifting mechanism on a servo.

It.....kinda works?

IT WORKS.

Extended the wedge a little, so it gets under stuff a little easier.

Very much a struggle to flip stuff though.

Imagine how most Series 2 - 3 lifters like GBH and Behemoth worked and you get the idea.

Well if it is, I'm pretty sure either the bottom supports would snap with the weight from above or the motor supports would bend and warp with all the spinning mass. And the motor is far too exposed. This is why I hoped it was an arty standard :P

Well, this started off as an attempt to rebuild the CW flipper, but very quickly escalated into 'I-Have-No-Idea-What-I'm-Doing-Mode'.

After it's predecessor's shocking performance, I added a much bigger weapon. This is Bird Of Prey II.

In all honesty, it was just killing two bird with one stone. It needed to be heavier to be a cruiserweight, and it needed weighing down at the back so that I didn't need to make supports at the front.

stop making him using cheatbot parts

stronger clamp, both in motor and in extender.

Which motor would you suggest?

well a legal DSL burst for one.

Pendulum isn't allowed to rustle any more jimmies in Rob's tournaments, so I guess his successor has to try and do the same Last Rites BS without actually being as good.

Why not make Pendulum a heavyweight (just for the tournament), as the Hworf blades would be allowed?

Because I really like Lift-Off!. It showed potential in Battlebots and it has the chance to chuck stuff over the walls now.

Plus it'll look awesome when a spinner inevitably tears the many flippermakers apart.

Before I skin it, any improvements that should be made?

That looks pretty good man, despite the flippers would be out of sync when they flip a bot on one side. Although I don't think you can really fix that without changing the flippers design.

try to save some weight by attaching the sideprotectonpanels directly to the baseplateanchors. maybe you can build someting like the ears of the hassogshog

It was originally, but the aforementioned weight issues cropped up.

I'll have a go at rebuilding it to be metallic. Might might it more compact.

And this as-yet-unnamed flipper as well.
Well, it's kind of a double flipper. With the small one and the front hinged self righting mechanism.

I'd love to put a piston on there for added realism, but without any attachment points on the WoD arms, I just can't work out a way of doing it.

There is no noticeable effect when you press printscreen. You need to back out of RA2 and CTRL-V into something like MS Paint for the image.

Post by: Naryar on March 25, 2014, 01:05:41 PM
it is useless competitively and takes a lot of weight for not that much of an added effect on the bot's aesthetics ?

Not to mention a potential havok bomb ?

Though if you wanted to make another WreckTangle it's totally fine.

It's reminiscent of a gearbox, or the insides of it anyway. I think that's what it's called.

Both look sweet. Though I personally would have put the wheels outside Dusk's chassis.

Hammer looks really sweet, the supports on the back look a bit too lengthy, but otherwise great.

I'd enter the hammer if I were you. But that's just me.
Title: Re: Mazakari's IRL Designs

Title: Re: Mazakari's IRL Designs
Post by: Clickbeetle on April 15, 2014, 11:18:04 PM
The hammer looks kind of weird, like you wanted to build a Toe Crusher type bot, then added those rear supports when it didn't work.  I would get rid of the supports, make the back of the hammer long enough to touch the ground when retracted (for stability), and then use the heaviest chassis armor you can afford (for durability and stability).

Dusk looks cool.  You might have gone a bit overboard with the Hworf spikes, but otherwise there is nothing to critique here.

Thought it would be nice to give it another run out!

Nah, it's just a static flywheel setup.

It wasn't really thought out though. I'll try to reuse the skin and name on a better design.

It does look nice. My only criticism is the distance of the back panel from the chassis, but I guess you gotta have it there if you want to use those panels on the side.

Cheers, guys. I do like my flippers.

My only criticism is the distance of the back panel from the chassis, but I guess you gotta have it there if you want to use those panels on the side.

A fair enough point. I did sort of just slap on the back at random.

Tightened the back panels up, added a couple of top panels to make it a bit more angular, and redesigned the flipper so it doesn't weigh about 100kg anymore.....

For some reason I don't like the side armor. It just feels like it doesn't belong there. Maybe it's just the asymmetric shape of the plates that bugs me.
Other than that it's pretty Shweet! The forklift appearance of the flipper is brilliant.

I will say though your skins are better, and I used that exact same texture on one of my Ironforge bots.

More skinning practice, not too happy with this one though.

I actually think the exact opposite. I think the first one is too thin, and I dislike it when IRL bots use a baseplate texture for the top/sides of their bot, as Kari's done with the first one.

The second one, on the other hand, has a really good, vintage-pusher-type vibe to it. Looks like the sorta bot I'd see floating around Battlebots 2.0, especially with the thick T-Minus wheels on it.

Pointless post ahoy, but don't expect any more updates to this thread.

I'm retiring from building and showcasing. (inb4 Badnik/AS/09 posts that nobody cares)

No motivation or ideas or time to do it anymore.

Peace out.

Maybe there's some truth in the 'you're here forever' image.

It's amazing what being bored as hell on a day off can achieve. Decided to build my first robot in about 3 or 4 months.

I've had that worrying feeling of wanting to start building regularly again, because I'm capable of much better than this.

I'm not entirely happy with it, but as I'm running out of time to get the damn thing entered, this will probably be my BBX HW. Wanted to do something unique but nothing sprang to mind, so instead this happened.

Now to come up with an idea for the SHW.

Ahem, cool and all, but I ain't so fond of the skin it's given. I can barely make out what's visible to see what's being shown.

Gave G-Force a new skin. Doesn't really suit it at the moment, but it looks a bit better than the first one.

It's not bad, but I reckon the skin would be nicer if the decal on the side wasn't so bright white, it looks a bit out of place to me. Maybe you could change the colour, or add it as a slightly transparent overlay instead?
Also, more so with the original one but slightly with this one, the decals look like they're at a higher resolution than the rest of the texture, which looks a little odd to my eye.

That reskinned Judge bot is really awesome though.

Went to the pub, got home, decided to try some drunk building. Wooooo.

I apologize for my sloppiness.

Also, has anyone wondered what would happen if you crossed Diotoir with a platypus?

That DiotiorxPlatypus is cool and all, but shouldn't that be in the Custom Components showcase section since that is literally just the Diotior from the Robot Wars 2013 AI pack with a new skin?

That drunk bot is a bit messy, but it is pretty cool. I feel I should try building drunk one day.

That's a fair point. I just threw the two robots into the same post then went to bed. I'll move it, if the mods want me to, but I don't think I have a custom components showcase.

I built him because Massimo released his Tournament AI pack and distracted me from Ironforge and I've been wanting to build an axe so I built an axe.

Crappy skin, was playing around with the new decals.

You did win GTM's best IRL builder of 2015 for a reason.  And I'm not sure if I'm comparable to those guys as well.

Title: Re: Mazakari's IRL Designs
Post by: Clickbeetle on February 04, 2016, 08:42:56 PM
I dunno about those front skirts, it looks like they'd just get in the way so you couldn't hit anything with the hammer.  Perhaps they should be farther apart so bots can fit in between, or replaced with a wedge(s) that can get under things.

Otherwise looks pretty cool, especially how you worked RA2's swing arc limitations into the design.

It actually works better than you might think. The axe strikes just in front of the two skirts (which can act as a makeshift wedge at the edges, can't imagine the tournament will be too wedgy), while keeping other axes out of reach at the same time (in theory). I may try and improve it while looking at making the axe and supports cleaner like Reier said, though. It's certainly a very early idea for it.

BFE isn't allowed, being invertible would require a complete rebuild (those are perms and not wheels), and the aforementioned perms use up both the allocated uses of component freedom.

I may put an armoured shell over it or something, there's weight left over if I remove the side spikes.

Back in the mood for this game, and want to get my building mojo back.

Decided that after the weird components and stuff of the last few 'bots, that I'd go back to basics with a simple MW like I used to do.

Second page? Unacceptable.

Do not post multiple bots in one post. This means that if you post a single bot, we will give you detailed advice on how to improve it. Posting numerous bots in one post leads to people not giving you good advice and generally making small comments on 1 of them.

I feel like you could clean up Blade Runner's weapon hub by placing a disc, then the DSL bars, then another disc, and then sandwiching some discs between them so it looked like a solid hub.

like so:

I've done it a couple of times before because I thought (possibly incorrectly) that it prevents the arm from hitting the opponent before the hammer.

Looking at this one though, I feel like I've bent it the wrong way. It's been a while since I've played and I never test anymore.

I'll see what I can do, but it might be tough considering it's an AI part (Apollyon wedge). I guess I could try put two next to each other and try to make them blend together...

EDIT: ok, that was easier than I thought.

Title: Re: Mazakari's IRL Designs

I like the extender frame + poly panels concept, but I don't think your execution on this particular bot is great. If you're using a lot of poly I think you can't have much negative space inside your bot, else it just looks wrong and empty. I like the general shape of the bot and I think the axe variant looks good, I like how you implemented the weapon.

btw if you want to make extenderbots, most people use a tiny pixel-sized chassis inside an anchor, and everything is built off that anchor so there isn't really a chassis there at all. Not sure if you were aware of that (since you don't see many people making extender frames around a traditional chassis), if not I can send you the pixel chassis if you want.
Title: Re: Mazakari's IRL Designs
Post by: Merrick on April 16, 2018, 03:55:16 PM
I get what you mean now.
Originally it planned to sort of be a basic chassis with a shell just sort of placed over the top, to add to the modular feeling. I may do an extenderbot rebuild with better internals.

They both look real nice, Im guessing the front of Erosion is made up of Ti plates, I was wondering about if flipper segments would fit the height of the bot better? Not sure if Corrosion is a rebuild but maybe have some extenders to better take hits from a HS?

The claw looks sweet, especially the panels at the sides, nice touch
Title: Re: Mazakari's IRL Designs
Post by: Merrick on June 15, 2018, 09:50:56 AM
Corrosion isn’t a rebuild, just a side-by-side comparison to Erosion, which is entering Deathmatch 2. It’s got steel panels on the front, I could use flipper segments but they won’t take hits nearly as well as the steel.

I like the VS a lot. Reminds me of 3 Stegs, which has always been a favourite of mine.

Clamp looks pretty solid too, though some of those gaps in the armour around the front could do with being filled if possible IMO

The axe really doesn't light any fires for me though not gonna lie. Could really do with something to stop it from just being a box with an axe on top. What that something is I'm not too sure though.

Cheers, it started off as a Tombclone but it was faaaaar too big. Thought a less conventional VS might be a little more interesting.

Clamp looks pretty solid too, though some of those gaps in the armour around the front could do with being filled if possible IMO

I'm not super happy with the gaps either, but I'm not great with the IRL armour panels, sadly. I'll revisit it like I did with the VS soon and give it another go.

The axe really doesn't light any fires for me though not gonna lie. Could really do with something to stop it from just being a box with an axe on top. What that something is I'm not too sure though.

Thought that might be the main problem with it, just experimenting with the idea of a clean looking build still looking decent alongside messier, more interesting bots.

New flipper, and a rebuild of an older spinner from last year. I think I'm getting far too into polycarb shells.

The flipper is sweet. Only minor niggles with it are that I think it would look a bit better if the side panels were Alu instead of polycarb, and if the tip of the flipper were slightly less wide to reduce the 'overhang' over the sides of the wedge.

The HS is neat too, although I feel it would look a fair bit better with some kind of custom bar made out of extenders or something. The regular ol' DSL bars don't really do the chassis justice

Probably at some point. They’re both in the HW weight limit but I’ll have to strip the spinner down to make sure the internals are legally IRL.

The builds are so realistic and cool. heck Too bad this showcase is one of those showcases when they don't tell the robots' names in any way until they a tournament shows its name.

I’m sh** at naming robots so I normally don’t bother. Doesn’t really matter to me for showcase purposes.

I thought it might make a difference from the usual VS fare, but I may switch it out for a more conventional wedge drum or spinning disc. I wasn't sure about the weapon either.
