F-Bomb/Relic replica. Sucks in combat, but looks at least decently close.

Post by: Clickbeetle on June 09, 2006, 07:04:48 PM: Somebody likes spinning flails. And for good reason; that's one of the best weapons IMO. Those bots look very good. Especially Ruiner 2.0. It's like Firebeetle's Blue Ruin, but with a slightly beefier motor and a longer bar. Battery/armor stats for any of them?

Dark Pact is cool, how it's all compact and efficient.

And that F-Bomb replica is really good for not using any custom parts. There's no mistaking what bot it's supposed to be.

Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on August 26, 2006, 06:47:02 PM: I used the flat motors. The claws are usually enough to finish your opponent off if there isn't a pushout.

Post by: MikeNCR on July 12, 2007, 08:02:18 PM: Quote from: inplabth
Smashed looks a lot like SmashBox2.

Smashed is, essentially, a reworked SmashBox2. The main reason is that I built a new computer and due to some problem, I can't import old bot files, so I've got less than three full teams of bots now.

Dr. Steel is fun. not only is the weapon brutal but it drives fairly well for a spinner with a ton of spinning mass. it's got four of the Mag 3M drive motors on hypnodisk wheels and an abundance of batteries that provide the power needed, and a tornado mer gearbox for the weapon.

Post by: Meganerdbomb on February 20, 2009, 09:23:41 PM: First Comment! I like the ? hammer/piston bot. Is it one of the good ones or does it just look good? Undertaker 2 also looks pretty awesome, and Sawz-All is just cool because saws rock!
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: kill343gs on February 20, 2009, 09:24:23 PM: I love your bots because they always looks so realistic, which makes them much cooler. I'm not talking like following the realistic rule, I mean you could almost see these things in real life. Very nice as always. I especially like the piston-hammer with the hex plate armor.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on February 20, 2009, 09:46:17 PM: The piston hammer thing is either able to completely dominate its opponent or gets utterly dominated. There is *NO* middle ground with it.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Clickbeetle on February 21, 2009, 12:14:02 AM: Wow, it's been a while since you've made any RA2 bots. My favorite has to be Undertaker. I just like the design. Beater bars or small teeth (or any weapon without damage normals) would probably be a better weapon than pointy tips, though.

Undertaker 2 looks better in a fight, but it lacks some of the style of the original.

The ? VS also looks cool.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Somebody on February 21, 2009, 10:12:27 AM: Both ?s and Undertaker are my favorites.

I like Sawz-all too.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on February 21, 2009, 02:06:34 PM: Thanks for the compliments. The Undertaker bots were an experiment that worked quite well. UT is a bit better at the original goal that UT2 is, but UT2 hits a fair bit harder.

As far as bot styles and that sort of thing goes, for the most part I just like building bots in game that could potentially be closely reproduced in the real world.

Edit: Fear the Sawz-All

Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Somebody on February 21, 2009, 06:17:43 PM: Those hinges weight 12 kgs right? It would be lighter to use a small extender and a normal hinge. Also, try to shrink that chassis.

Closest thing I could get to a replica of the bot I'm building using stock components. It certainly hits hard enough. The Astros and tiny wheels don't quite have the speed though.

Post by: MikeNCR on February 24, 2009, 03:21:48 PM: This is driving me nuts.

A few years ago there was a DSL(I think) antweight tournament. I remember doing well in it but can't remember what bot I used or which tourney it was. Pretty sure I had a fairly simple bot with caution tape painted sides, but that's about all I can remember. Anyone got a memory that goes back that far?

Edit: Not an AI tournament

Edit2: Beetle tourney, definitely DSL.

Managed to beat Critical Emergency with it, so I know it's at least decent. Should meet all the 'realistic' rules as the Irons don't move through anything but a bit of the wedges.

Post by: Naryar on March 09, 2009, 03:09:26 AM: Is the one (bottom middle) with the unique metal hinge wedge a popup?
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on March 09, 2009, 06:06:18 AM: yeah, apparently the wedge dips below the chassis briefly when the weapon fires
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Naryar on March 09, 2009, 07:36:09 AM: Okay... so my opinion:

Claw bar HS: That's not a very powerful weapon for a LW HS, and the magmotor is vulnerable. (I bet there will be a good bunch of HS and SnS with 2 30kg sledgehammers on BBEANS6)

Sheck spinner: Probably not enough weapon hitpoints, again.

Rammer: Probably the best of all. You would benefit from Hypno wheels, because they're more grippy for the same weight and lower ground clearance would help. (Won't look as cool with hypno wheels that said)

Iron disc HS: Double magmotor? Anyways, still not enough weapon HP's.

Popup: Great wedge. That aluminium double wedge doesn't protects the chassis very well, however. And i had better results using razors rather than irons on popups.

Sawbot: Excellent wedge, but the saw WILL get destroyed by the first decent HS you'll meet.

They all look cool though.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 14, 2009, 06:16:04 PM: Good bots. I wouldn't get too excited for BBEANS6 just yet when #5 hasn't even started yet, though!

Agree with most of Naryar's comments. The shell spinner probably has enough weapons for a flailing HS though (I'm assuming it's packing a double Mag under that shell?) You could get 6 iron spikes on flails if you took off the side panels on the shell, but that wouldn't be that much of an improvement and would look less cool besides.

And the rammer would probably be better with weapons with slightly more HP. Lightning spikes, for instance, or pointy tips if you had weight. But it's pretty good as is.

Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: kill343gs on March 27, 2009, 01:28:18 PM: I just want you to know that this is my favorite DSL showcase, your bots show a much higher level of realism than most. Not because they break what we consider the realistic rule, but because I could almost see your bots battling it out in front of me. It may be because your a real builder, but your DSL work is a whole nother level of cool to me.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on March 27, 2009, 01:43:32 PM: Thanks. Taking time to think about how I'd build the design if it were a real bot helps quite a bit.

Biggest hit so far is 14511. Still working on balance a bit, but it's reasonably stable. Most problems come from it launching backward on a good hit and tapping the wall.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Urjak on March 31, 2009, 07:58:45 PM: For the LW, you might want some more front protection.

For the HW, you will want to use Whyachi drive motors instead of the kind your using.

Both bots look very nice though.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 31, 2009, 10:20:44 PM: The flamethrowing LW is hard to see. Not sure what to make of it, other than that having two flamethrowers is probably overkill.

The juggler LW looks great. I didn't think it could be done that effectively on a LW. I don't see how you could have beat Lock Nut with those exposed axles and chassis (at least once the wedges are gone), though.

Big Bang Theory: Urjak, those are the drive motors.

Kind of along the same lines as my bot Phasmatodean, except I bet BBT is a lot more combat effective with its faster spinup time. (Phasmatodean was never really a serious combat bot; I just wanted to build the biggest VS possible.) Looks a little fragile with those exposed drive motors, but it probably delivers some huge hits.

Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on March 31, 2009, 10:42:52 PM: 2 flamethrowers: Honestly, I just think it looked cooler having the dual flame jets, plus I think it effectively doubles the damage rate, as they appear to be calculated independently.

Juggler: The way the catcher on the top interacts with other bots is a big factor. It's quite springy and allows me to keep right up under them. It may not be completely clear, but Risky lost one of the axles before KOing LN. Not certain, but it almost seems like the springyness helps reduce damage to the plates in combat.

Scary thing with the juggler, besides changing the two shell plates in for what was a plow and playing around with different teeth, that was my first attempt at a TS/Juggler/whatever else you want to call it.

Can be improved though. Switch the steel extenders to tite or aluminum, they AREN'T gonna get hit, then add another spike or a Hypno claw or something on the outside of the hammers.
Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on April 09, 2009, 07:54:03 AM: Thanks for the compliments. Paintjob's temporary, as I don't bother with a decent one 'till I'm happy with the bot.

Haven't taken any pics yet, but I tried a 4 wheeled version that seems to be just about as good. Less weapons, more drive power. The one thing I don't like is that it loses forward momentum very quickly once you start spinning. The 3wd version if spun right can keep moving in a direction while spinning most of the time.

Also, the original version had a driven center with the tribar assembly sitting on an axle. Somehow this defied all known laws of physics and resulted in the chassis being spun to ludicrous speeds by turning on the tribar motors. Not sure if it's a "new" glitch, but it may be.

In a normal robot, the motors spin the wheels, with this setup, the motors spin the chassis while the wheels just sit there. It gets some pretty good speed, and beyond the whole breaking the laws of physics, with some creative imagining giving consideration to the limitations of RA2, a completely buildable robot.

It is capable of moving forwards and backwards, but instead of moving the way the "drive" wheels are pointed, it moves the direction the front of the chassis is pointed.

And no this is not a new glitch. I think roboshark had a few bots like this in stock. Ive played them online.

If you're talking about the Slidewynder bots, unless I'm mistaken, those have a motor powering the bar/disk that the "Wheels" are attached to. This bot uses broken physics to, as best I can tell, turn the free spinning axle into a motor with the power of 3+ npc fast drives. Slidewynder style bots have been around since the early AU days, though back then people used servo motors for the drive as they didn't seem to care that the chassis was spinning.

Post by: Sage on April 09, 2009, 10:10:12 PM: ah yes. i think its the same concept though... the result is the same, to have the chassis spin.

Certainly similar, but the powered vs. unpowered axle thing is a fairly important distinction. I suspect you could combine the glitches to have the power of the tribar/disk motor added to the power of the wheel motors.

Title: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on April 10, 2009, 08:48:08 PM: I don't know much about AIing, but with the way the glitch works, if you only power the two motors at the tip of the Y shape the drive makes they can be used to move forward and backward, but instead of the bot moving with the wheels, it moves with the way the chassis front is pointed.

Best AI logic would probably be spin like crazy, if you start getting counted out, move forward a few feet, then spin back up.

Round 1:

Downward Spiral beat Sawz-All (Sawz won the first fight, then lost the following two)
Sunburst beat Mosh Pit Hero
Power Mad beat Malpractice
Organ Grinder has yet to fight Seven Year Itch, as I still need to tweak OG's AI.
Hellbound beat Omega Omega Tango Alpha (OOTA tossed Hellbound OOTA in its one win)
Slapshot beat Fisticuffs

Round 2:

Downward Spiral beat L Diablo
Power Mad beat Sunburst
Closer beat Sawz All 2
Hellbound beat Ramsey
Stung beat The Wretched
Heresy beat Slapshot
Drunk In Public beat Twisted
Voodoo will face the winner of Organ Grinder Vs. Seven Year Itch

In Round 3:
Downward Spiral will face Power Mad
Closer will face the winner of Voodoo Vs. OG/SYI
Hellbound will face Stung
Heresy will face Drunk In Public

Thanks to a generous linking, all further fights will be taped in their entirety.

Omega Omega Tango Alpha

Organ Grinder may rejoin the top rankings once I've got some AI for the wedge working, but as is (I removed the wedge for its matches) it was rather disappointing.

I need to get myself some video editing software to shrink down the videos, so it'll be a bit before videos show up. If there's any fights that didn't happen that you'd like to see, let me know.

When I get bored in class I sketch designs for real robots, this is based off of one of those sketches.

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: System32 on December 28, 2009, 09:32:35 PM: Polycarbonate can't hold that kind of weight. it's not really an OFFICIAL Realistic rule but it prevents a 600 KG weapon on a ploycarb extender, which is impossible, unless it is molded to take the strain.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Urjak on December 28, 2009, 09:56:43 PM: S32, I believe that component material being involved in determining realism is a bad idea. Realism in DSL was invented to prevent uber-stacked HS and intersecting components, not the physics of materials used ingame.

Also, the names of the components should be meaningless, if the extenders had just been called light extender, medium extender, heavy extender, than the original argument would be meanigless. But no matter what they are called, and extender can still not spin through another extender as that would break all fundemental laws of physics, and thus be unrealisitic. But just becasue the modders decided to call the extender a "polycarbonate" extender doesn't mean the material should be taken at face value.

My rant has now concluded...
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: System32 on December 28, 2009, 10:53:53 PM: lol that was a rant?

You really are a softie...

I remember a post somewhere (Click, I think. Only he makes such a large post.) about the official/unofficial guidelines to DSL. No stacking, no overlapping, and One small sentance about that you should think relistically, and a 120CM polycarbonate extender can't hold up a dual perm and a 200KG weapon.

I think it may have been archived, correct me if I'm wrong.

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: 123savethewhales on December 29, 2009, 12:19:40 AM: Agree with Urjak. I don't see how "light materials" are so ruining the game that it requires vigorous enforcement, especially when it's nothing more than the parts' name.

Besides, polycarbonate extenders really can't hold the dual perm and 200kg weapon well, a light tag and the whole thing collapse.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Pwnator on December 29, 2009, 12:24:41 AM: If you're trying to enforce realism rules on extender strengths, that means you should also enforce a realism rule on a Perm axle support (because it just can't float in the air on it's own, you know). That's just going way to far. :P

Anyway, I think you could use the other attachment point on the 4-Mag so you can use the extra weight in protecting it. :D

A steel extender in the same dimensions would fail nearly as spectacularly in the same application. You've got to work within the limitations and reality of the physics in the game to some extent.

I've noticed that floor dragging weapons often do no damage for some reason. I blame it on the physics engine being odd.

Weapons that are touching the floor won't do damage for some dumb reason. But if you elevate them just a little bit--say, by putting a small component in the center of the disc--then you can get low weapons to work. See: Civil Uprising.

The HS that has generated such controversy actually looks cool; it reminds me of Relic/F-bomb with an overhead weapon. You don't have weight for a roll cage do you?

While it's not realistic in the sense that it would work in real life, it is as realistic as you can get in RA2, like you said.

Post by: Naryar on December 30, 2009, 04:34:59 AM: Yes, weapons touching the floor don't do damage on their own, but they still seem to deal damage when hit with another weapon. Or a component...

If not for that, Gearhead would fail.

Post by: System32 on December 30, 2009, 06:47:47 PM: Perhaps that's the difference between Concussion and peircing?
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Naryar on December 31, 2009, 04:25:34 AM: Somehow. High concussion return more damage when hit, and high piercing deal more damage to the chassis.

Both seem to do roughly similar damage to components.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: System32 on December 31, 2009, 09:45:18 AM: So Concussion is good for defense, and peircing is good for offence? cool.

I'd still like to test them when dragged against the floor though.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Naryar on January 01, 2010, 11:32:26 AM: ^^ Roughly... high concussion is still probably better on spinners though (excepted when using flails)

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 02, 2010, 10:50:11 PM: The flamer bot is cool but sorta needs a damaging weapon for finishing the opponent off (unless you're counting on the hazards to do that, which with a 35kg plow might be a feasible strategy).

I would trade that plow on the HS for some weapon motor protection; those Magmotors don't have much HP. Possibly wheel protection as well since front-oriented HS's tend to twist to the side a lot.

The rammer looks like a juggernaut. Slow, but the only way it will be beaten is with a wedge (or a Bisector... hehe).

Man you have so many good LW's, how are you ever going to choose one for BBEANS?

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on March 03, 2010, 01:44:24 PM: Yeah, at this point I'm mostly just trying whatever idea pops into my head. The flamethrower bot is very effective, and does have some spikes on the back, though AI-ing it to spin around late in the match and go for the chassis might be tough.

Update to the flamethrower bot-

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84432A2Av2.jpg)

If I could get an AI that'd have it use the flamethrower till the opponents chassis is toast, then switch to thwack mode, it'd be very competitive.

This is doable. The biggest challenge (for me) would be getting the opponent's health so the AI knows when to switch tactics, but I know this has been done before.

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on March 20, 2010, 02:40:04 AM: The 2500 is in no small part due to the opponent, but the way it takes hits, and can carry the opponents really are what makes it special. I'm very happy with the result and plan on spending a little time fine tuning things. As is, it trashed Power Mad, Closer, Downward Spiral, Fisticuffs, Seven Year Itch, and every other bot I tested it on.

With a properly tuned AI, there's a good chance that once it's under a bot, it could stay there and slowly "gut rip" them with the flexible weapons.

No it's not. There is one bot with the same weapon (8 irons on a 100cm disc), but everything else is different. Although the top-left could be a modification of the bot that I just mentioned...

And definitely the shell spinner or the axle-rammer.

Gonna go with one of these 6 for BBEANS6

ReActive would be coolest to have in BBEANS because it's a new, original and exciting design. And also could take advantage of the hazards.

The shell spinner would be least cool to have because there's probably going to be a lot of those (but it could be worse, it could have razor tips. 5kg teeth on hex plates makes it at least somewhat original).

The juggler I don't want you to enter because my bot won't be able to beat it :gawe:

But use what you think is best.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on March 28, 2010, 11:53:34 PM: They've all got pros and cons. ReActive's damn good, but needs specialized rammer AI to work properly, Power Mad's destructive but has issues with some shell spinners, the flail shell spinner's really nasty but havoks enough to make me nervous, WASP is nasty if it stays in the arena, 7YI works well for reasons I can't explain, and Pretty Hate Machine(the HS) hits very hard and is just overall fairly competitive.

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Pwnator on May 05, 2010, 10:48:27 PM: Sure, the 1st one looks a bit more well-built. But looks aren't gonna matter much when a gut-ripper immediately takes off the crucial hexplate, poly extender, or even deal a OHKO.

Then 2nd has a more protected chassis, and relatively stronger extender work. You're still gonna have to deal with the hammers if you want to get to the MEs. :P

Not sure if it gets the proper glitch, but it does get moving pretty quickly and racks up the damage really quickly.

With the way I've got the controls set, if I tap the forward button as the longer CF extender is swinging at the opponent as it gets to about parallel the whole thing seems to translate fairly accurately across the arena.

the multi extender is a smart idea

its also one of the reasons nothing base attachable in Backlash can reach out the chassis bigger then 20cm extenders :P

For some reason I don't get the other MW.

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Pwnator on July 21, 2010, 07:03:52 AM: Having an exposed slop seems like a huge gamble to me. Even if you can send IT4 (or 6, I forgot) OOTA, it can still heavily cripple your chances of lasting the whole match when it rushes toward you at the start of the match. Maybe an angled panel will help?
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on July 21, 2010, 07:27:03 AM: I'm not sure you're seeing how this works clearly. The half sheets are on "top" in the normal position and are the surface that makes contact with the other robot when the burst motors are fired.

Plastic 5 > Tite 3
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Pwnator on July 26, 2010, 01:36:18 AM: I don't quite get it. Those are just HP/weight ratios. Tite 3 still has more HP than Plastic 5, even if it's a bit less efficient.

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Pwnator on July 26, 2010, 02:13:19 AM: It's not that bad. It's like saying putting aluminum armor on a bot is terribly inefficient since you can have roughly the same strength for a whole lot less weight or a whole lot more strength for just a bit more weight. Plastic 5's efficient, and Tite 3's just above average, but Tite 3 still makes a good choice since weight spent from Plastic 5 to Tite 3 is worth the HP gained.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on July 26, 2010, 09:41:01 AM: At the moment I'm experimenting with a range of weapons and weapon systems. The chassis on the HS is as small as I was able to get it while fitting 3 ants. If you saw it in the bot lab, the ants are actually sticking out of the chassis in a few spots. Haven't put astros on it, but I may test those at some point.

I think the VS is closing in on being as good as it will get. I think I may try snagging the HS's chassis and putting the VS setup on it to see how it works.

I did have a rather good flipper in the works, but it had some issues with the front hinged wedge mesh sinking into the floor of the arena (though not on the floor flippers) so it had to be at least temporarily scrapped.

Also, if you've looked through most of my showcase, I've never really worried much about the "most efficient" way of building, and it seems to work well for me.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on August 06, 2010, 06:41:40 PM: So, in light of the request that we build our own bots for RW2 if possible, I gave the one big bot not already in ra2(yet) a shot:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94986MrSD.jpg)

Cheaty goodness:
BFE'd chassis height to roughtly appropriate height
Ruiner's weapon motor, bar and blades(not all that cheaty since they've got the same stats as their legal counterparts)
Razor's invisible 11kg burst motor to put the motor at the right angle and location.

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots

Post by: Naryar on December 26, 2010, 12:06:47 PM: I am guessing you are choosing average components on Smashbox 3 just for looks ?
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Scorpion on December 26, 2010, 12:17:00 PM: Morros looks cool and smashbox 3 looks VERY intimidating.
Although I agree somewhat with Nar, that seems like a lot of excess weight to put on the flippers assuming it's the same quad bsg setup.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on December 26, 2010, 12:19:09 PM: It is quad BSG, though most of the stuff is static. Only the big claws and the sheets move, the rest is for absorbing damage and giving a bit back. It's mostly designed to look good while still being fairly effective.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Clickbeetle on December 26, 2010, 09:26:44 PM: Well you certainly got the looking good part down. ;)

Is it better than Smashbox 2?

Moros replica looks nice as well.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on December 26, 2010, 10:34:52 PM: Certainly seems to be. Still has plenty of power to toss bots over the wall in the bbeans arena after a full match with lots of flipping.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Naryar on December 26, 2010, 10:41:23 PM: Technically BSG's should be better than Mag Snappers in overall, so yeah.

However, I do believe it is slower ?

Tested it against all the 123AI lw's and it beat 10/17. Losses were to LW-FlailSnS, LW-Popup, HMX, Bane, Milk Shake and Big Wheel. Didn't bother with the crawler.

Post by: MikeNCR on March 13, 2011, 11:20:36 PM: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25231Nyx.jpg)

Against 123AI, Bane would regularly beat it, Milkshake would get the occasional lucky shot on the motors and the SnS's were too havoky to test reliably, but it beat the rest.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Bots
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 14, 2011, 12:00:06 AM: That's a lot of weapon weight for a LW VS. :eek:

Very nice way to be efficient with the drive setup/stabilizers. It looks like it might be a bit tippy (in the backwards direction) though.

Also, those polycarb extenders might not fare so well against some of the popups in BBEANS AI... but very nice bot regardless.

It's pretty stable until it loses about half the dsl teeth, once that happens it's a bit prone to tipping. I'm thinking I might move the motors all the way to the back, but they're hilariously well protected where they are now.

I don't get why you would use multiple polycarb extenders.

The middle one gets the spacing set such that the disc is very close to centered between the skirts, could have done it a different way, but I didn't feel like reworking the mount setup. The skirts seem to fail well before the polycarb extenders even get touched with the current layout.

a few more

Descriptions-

Top: Flipper with 21 ants in it, so as close to full power as I could fit in the chassis. A bit slow but it tosses well

Left: Pretty quick pseudo-undercutter. Thinner weapons would make it more undercuttery, but the hammers look nice there. Disk & bars keep the hammers off the ground.

Middle: Trimangle/Afterthought style angled HS. External drive mounting for better positioning control. Really fun to drive.

Right: Servo clamp/flipper combo. Doesn't work as well as I'd like, but it's still fun.

How well does it work in practice?

Seems to do pretty well, it'll flip all over the place due to how small it is, but it's almost perfectly symmetrical, so it's able to attack just as well when inverted.

Quote from: ashman12 on July 13, 2011, 04:38:42 PM
I thought counter-rotating saws caused it to turn one way?

A set of blades spinning results in gyro forces when turning, an equal size/weight/MOI set of blades rotating the opposite way(relative to the other blades) will counteract that force, resulting in a net gyro force of 0 as long as they stay balanced.

Here's a whole fleet.

layout for reference-
12345
6789

Of the bots, 2, 4 and 8 are my least favorite from a realism standpoint, though they're all well within reason. 5 is a pain to drive and doesn't hit all that hard, but it looks cool. 1 is pretty solid. 6 is very deadly in the right situation.

Left to right:

LW, tri-beater setup. Blend of the common motor-in-drum setup with the weapon feeder wedge for some VS's

MW, 8 beater bars with a feeder wedge

HW, Overkill wedge and hefty weapon rack on a single Judge burst with bonus (internally mounted) flamethrower action

SHW, massive sawblade like rack with very solid mounts/protection and righting poles.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Legendary Bots
Post by: NFX on November 26, 2011, 06:57:18 AM: LW: Looks like a pretty good design. Looks like Metal Hinge wedges, though...
MW: Again, looking very nice. Can't see much wrong with it.

LW has axle wedges, they're just fairly far inside the chassis.

Sorta, it tends to catch the opponents a bit for a massive box-rush slam if things line up right. No weight for extra stabilizers on the LW.

Meant to simulate the weapon systems on Greenwave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xALqpCSK3kc# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xALqpCSK3kc#) and Icewave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nExFOnsQhrs# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nExFOnsQhrs#)

Used BFE for the chassis height and a baseplate extender to mount the motor. Extra Ti extenders are to simulate the way it would actually be mounted.

I don't get the motor system. D:
It would be a hollow axle that allows the wiring to pass through for the motor, and the blade goes around that. Similar to how Ziggo's flag worked, but slightly different. This is a decent image to show what I'm on about, spoiler'd for page length.

I think the spinner looks a bit flimsy, though, in terms of that Perm and its attachment. I'd lighten up the hammers, personally, and invest a bit more weight in framework for the motor.

Or use my setup, higher chassis, place Multi extender where the Perm would attach on its side attach point. BFE chassis lower and attach perm. Then no extenders are cut by the weapon.

The spike's mainly to keep fast stuff from running up the wedge and into the chassis.

The wedge is mostly inline with real bots of that style that have a feeder wedge that brings the opponent up into the weapon.

Yes, i meant the two. Of course, I wouldn't insult Mike's building skill by saying he just put one here with no left/right weight balance

Still random on a flipper, and in that position.

Post by: NFX on March 20, 2012, 05:28:07 AM: Hammer: Looks funny. But should be a hoot to watch in battle.
Flipper: Looks quite nice, reminds me of an ARC bot, Truth Or Consequences. Flamethrowers might be a bit redundant if the opponent's being thrown up in the air.
Drum: Looks properly awesome. Should be great to fight, side panels look a little bit iffy, though.
VS: Beautiful. I can't think of anything that would make it much better. Hopefully it kicks itself back over when it's flipped.

Post by: NFX on May 07, 2012, 12:50:15 PM: Looking spectacular. Only problem I can see is the beaters on the flipper segments in the middle impeding the bot from one pair of drums. If you attach them flat, then I reckon the drums could come into play more often. Axle-mounted Spike Strips also look cool, though might not be terribly effective.

The top of the beaters on the flipper sit just a hair lower than the teeth on the actual drum, so it doesn't seem to hurt it much, it also reduces pressure on the drums when you've got a HW sitting on them, meaning the drums tend to keep their speed better.

Both are built on the same platform, which includes two flipping arms attached to the bursts.

Bot on the left would need custom AI to use, as the intent is to grab with the mag snapper arms, hold for a few seconds, then flip.

It would also match up with the front wedge better than it does at the moment. I'd also recommend upping the resolution of your skins, so you don't get that pixelated appearance of the NCR logo on the back.

Enjoy. Fair warning, it AGOD's like mad so it only works some of the time (usually after pausing in the practice arena, going back to any other tab, unpausing and going back to the practice arena) so it won't do much. Might move halfway decently if you put a stupid grip number on the wheels.

Do you even read?

I seem to remember someone doing an Alcoholic Stepfather clone from a while back with this same mechanism. I'm guessing that's how you found out that Mecanum wheels are just not worth it?

Post by: MassimoV on May 12, 2013, 06:26:36 PM: Click used some kind of servo mechanism for that.

Post by: MikeNCR on May 12, 2013, 10:14:53 PM: I think for that it was literally just some hidden motors with wheels that would shove the bot sideways.

yes, that's by far the simplest idea to implement mecanum wheels

Surprisingly enough, just the two heavy servos have enough power for it to flip itself over, and it can at least flip emergency when it's got some drive train assistance.

Post by: helloface on June 13, 2013, 10:42:51 AM: I like the realism of the horizontal bar. Also, you need to start putting names on some of your bots.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Legendary Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on June 13, 2013, 08:27:49 PM: I tend to only bother naming the ones that are planned to go into tournaments. The rest get the default or a descriptive name

Title: Re: MikeNCR's Legendary Bots
Post by: Mr. AS on August 17, 2013, 03:31:19 PM: you guys must have a very warped sense of standard if you think those are anywhere near DSL-S.

nice bots mike btw, but i cant get past those skirt hinges sticking out of the sides to truly love it...
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Legendary Bots
Post by: Kossokei on August 18, 2013, 02:27:13 AM: It's not that they seem standard-ish, but more that they seem sort of... out of character.

maybe even a little messy... it just doesn't have the feel that an irl bot would have.

I dunno. Mike's certainly the better builder though.
Title: Re: MikeNCR's Legendary Bots
Post by: MikeNCR on November 30, 2013, 08:31:33 PM: Decided to upload a ton of DSL3 bots(ie copied my entire "teams" folder into a .rar)-

https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/7360MikeNCR_DSL3.rar (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/files/7360MikeNCR_DSL3.rar)

Some good, some bad, some repeats, some variants.
