Title: Orc's DSL Showcase
Post by: TheOrcCorp on April 01, 2017, 08:28:56 AM
So I've been getting into DSL more recently (thanks to Demon's latest tournament for really kicking my motivation into gear!) They are probably not the best designs as I'm still learning, some have quite a bit of open space/areas but hey, I'm welcome to feedback!  :bigsmile:

I gotta say I really like these, especially with the team theme you've given them!  One thing to note is that piglets aren't meant to be drive motors (see: the first two), consider switching those.  How well does the train move?  6 slimbodies doesn't seem like it ought to be enough for a SHW.

Solid start. Nice theme to them.

Some tips on the first two while I've got time;

Goblin - Piglets for drive is a no-no. Slimbodies are probably the best bet there.

Bruiser: Probably wouldn't use a Mace on that piston. Maybe an Iron Spike to keep the aesthetic of the others. This and Goblin are both underpowered as well. Needs another battery, or one big one.


I'll come back and give advice on the others when I've got time, but I'm a big fan of General Orcatraz and Bane Train.  :thumbup

Thank you! I've changed the motors as you and others have recommended! Bane Train is a bit sluggish...what motors would you recommend?

Thank you, seems like a few people like the theme I've got going on! Changed the motors, added/changed batteries and also gone for an Iron Spike for Bruiser for consistency like you said! I look forward to the rest of your advice!

solid HW, CW , LW and MW also Bane Train is adorable :P

Thank you...STOP CALLING THE ULTIMATE TRAIN OF DOOM AND DESTRUCTION ADORABLE, HE WILL TRAMPLE OVER YOU!  ::2mad

Not bad. Though for some of Robot's like Bruiser, the chassis is too large. You could make the chassis smaller to save weight so you can use it for more weapons or anything else that might take your fancy like replacing the single mace with a chain of spikes. Just remember to build your chassis around your parts, not the parts for the chassis if you need an idea.
For Devorcatrz, don't use Standard axe heads for the teeth! There are more powerful weapons components in the game that can deal more damage than the axes head like Typhoon teeth for example, if you struggling to put them on, try shave off some weight like replacing the heavier bicycle wheels for more smaller wheels with better grip like shiny hubs or something. Also for your Cruiser, avoid using the PC265 batteries, you get enough power for your cruiser using some of the long black batteries or a couple of ant batteries and these will save you some weight of your Robots, you should have enough power to last a three minute match in most cases.

Overall, not a bad start into DSL IRL. As you learn, you builds will get better over time so don't worry about it. Also what Armour do you use anyway?

From a lot of sources like the defunct wiki and Senior members like Naryar, Armours types like Titanium and plastic 5-10 (don't use 3mm in a serious bot but 1mm can be handy for lighter bots I think) are recommended, because both types are good for bot protection and good on bot weight management as well. Armours like Steel and Aluminium are particularly useless due to the later being somewhat weak and the former being a waste of weight, try avoiding them if you can. At least you didn't say DSA (Double-Strength Aluminium). When DSA is required for Stock building due to DSA being toughest out of all the Stock armours, DSA is incredibly weak when compared to the strengths and toughness of other DSL armours. Hope this help anyway.

I think the armours got rebalanced for 2.2, but I don't play DSL enough to know which ones are good and which aren't.

Just so people know I've been listening, I've made modifications to the robots that needed them: I'll probably be rebuilding some of these but these are the versions I have entered into DemonOfTomorrow's tournament as of today!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21330DSL Showcase Improvements.png)

I'll probably make some more robots soon and post them here.

Any other feedback is appreciated! Thank you!  :mrgreen:

They underwent the same """balancing""" that the components went through. i.e. heavier armors are far more efficient than lighter armors. Steel 10 has about twice the HP/kg than Plastic 1 does.

with all this talk of dsl not being balanced, plus retooled being meh-sh** (i don't really have an opinion on it) do you mind seeing if you can rebalance it?

these aren't bad. a little bland, but not bad.

the bottom left bot would look better without the random spike strip at the back imo. would give you a little bit of weight to maybe connect the wheel guards to the chassis. can we get a full picture of it?

the bot on the bottom right would look better if the "head" of the Chassis tapered instead of being a flat wall

the mw and lw are neat. but the wheels clipping the chassis are a bit odd imo. i would rotate the wheel motors so the wheels line up parallel with the chassis wall but thats just me.

EDIT: saw the full pics

So I was inspired by several things (including Snake from Battlebots) to make a snake robot that actually twists and turns! I rather like how it turned out!

An update with some more robots! First up is Crocognaws...I don't have to say what it is based on, do I?  :mrgreen: That aside, it replaced my previous HW entry into DemonOfTomorrow/Doot's current contest!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78903Crocognaws.png)

Next up is Tantrusk...it's based on an elephant! I really liked the idea I had for Cobra and wanted to incorporate it into another animal themed robot...an elephant's trunk was the first thing that came into my mind!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/32710Tantrusk.png)

Lastly for today is my first attempt at an extenderbot, Carapace! I was inspired by TheRoboteer's extenderbot and wanted to make my own! I consulted him for advice and I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33037Carapace.png)

As always, any advice/thoughts/etc are appreciated! Thank you! :D
Title: Re: Orc's DSL Showcase
Post by: TheRoboteer on May 17, 2017, 07:06:32 PM
Not much I can say that I haven't already said. You're getting really good at creating these super aesthetically pleasing bots. Your animal ones are particularly good. Really like Crocognaws and Tantrusk. Carapace kinda reminds me of if Sunshine Lollibot was actually effective looking. Only change I'd suggest is swapping out the wheels on Carapace and maybe dropping the chassis armour to try and get it within the heavyweight limit as it might be slightly lacking in weaponry for a superheavyweight

Tantrusk is fantastic. The angle connectors look really out of place though, how come you can't swap them with the IRL extender angles?

In that case, the steel extenders and angles would be fine to match the iron spikes.

Those three bots look pretty great. The themes you come up with are awesome.

One slight gripe is that some of the extender work on Carapace is a little messy (looking at the orange extenders just sort of balanced on the front), but that can be cleaned up pretty easily with angle extenders to connect to the blue ones.

Thank you very much, that means a lot! I've changed that part of Carapace a bit, I do believe it looks better now (as seen below!) I also looked at Tantrusk but I do prefer the extenders that it was already: think they stand out a bit more. :)

So, some updates and some robots I forgot to add last time! I added a tongue to Cobra as TGM suggested (it moves too!) which also makes it a Heavyweight now.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21356Cobra 2.png)

I changed parts of Carapace, including the teeth, the orange parts at the front and the back panel! It is now a Heavyweight too!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68497Carapace 2.png)

Now for the two robots I forgot to add last time: first up is Monstargh, my new Super Heavyweight entry for DemonOfTomorrow/Doot's latest tourney!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44959Monstargh.png)

Lastly comes a robot some of you may be familiar with if you've seen my Stock showcase/know me from Banter Wars: this is a DSL version of my robot Bot Lesnar! It is very different but I wanted to give it the trademark "uppercut fist" thing the Stock version has. It is a weird design!

Title: Re: Orc's DSL Showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on May 18, 2017, 03:50:26 PM
i really like monstargh! you could definitely do those right angles on the wheelguards using the square extenders though, which would make them look a lot better

bot lesnar needs its disc lower to the ground and also some support for the mag motor

Here's something else I've put together: Chariot!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85821Chariot MK.1.png)
There are a few issues with this robot (can't drive too well, chassis mistakes and ideas I had while making it that would be too problematic to incorporate into this version) I plan to make a second version that incorporates these changes in the next few days. I just figured I'd show you all this version so you could compare when the other is done.  :mrgreen:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46799Chariot MK.2.png)
So it is a brand new bot, the dinosaur thing is the main chassis pulling the chariot itself.  :mrgreen: I'm probably gonna make some tweaks to it, including changing the armour as well as possibly changing the drive motors.

Here's two more bots I've made!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17540Spider.png)
This is Spider, not the most creative name but I just wanted to try out an arachnid-like design.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/77606Humanity.png)
This is Humanity: I wanted to make a robot with a gimmick that occured while it battled: presenting its mask. As Humanity battles, it can take battle damage to the mask, losing bits of it to reveal the face underneath. It is a bit glitchy but I am very pleased with how it came out!

(Also if you can guess the WRESTLER that inspired Humanity, you get a cookie...although it is probably quite obvious.  :mrgreen: )

Some more bots!

This is Scrap Brain: original idea was inspired by Sumpthing...definitely weird looking. I like how I made the axe though!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92067Poor Man's Shunt.png)
I call this "Poor Man's Shunt" but it'll probably get a new name soon...my original idea was a tank-like robot but with a hammer instead of a cannon.  :mrgreen:

I like the looks of your bots. But can't help to notice that the last two bots are critically under-weight for a heavyweight. The referee may be no problem because this is more of a show bot and not made for combat, the Beaky Bleeder may do with some more weaponry such as possibly using more Typhoon teeth not only for more damage, but to also use up some of the 113.5 spare KGs. If that's not for your tastes Orc, what extenders are you using? If you are using Aluminium extenders for the outer ring, you can swap them for steel or titanium extenders to increase the strength of the outer ring, allowing the ring to take more hits over using aluminium extenders for the ring. The Drive is decent if for something like a lightweight, though for heavyweight I often use Drive motors like the TWM3R just for a little more speed over the motors you're using, the motor that you are using may give a good moment of speed but they aren't ideal for Heavyweights, so try only using them for lighter weight classes like lights and beetles if you can. As for one last note, put some more batteries into Bleeder. Two battlepacks may be handy, but having more batteries when you apply the changes can allow the bot to have a longer battery life in the field.

Overall, try keeping up the arty bots but you may decide if you do want to take up this bulk of criticism. You may break it down a take little bits or take it all.

If I'm entering tournaments or whatever, I do tend to get as close to the weight limit as possible. For Beaky Blinder and Toby, I probably forgot to change the armour which is why they are underweight so I'll adjust that.  :smile: I only used the Slimbody motors as they fit nicely into certain shapes (Undertaker for example, I made the body bigger originally but it looked odd so I decreased the body size...the robot is a bit slow but it funnily matches the character he is based on) but I'll have a look at those motors! I tend to use Aluminium extenders as they don't weigh that much, even though they are probably weaker compared to the others.

Thanks for the kind words and advice!

Good sir, I will one day make a monstrous machine that rips all your stuff to pieces! You have my word as a gentleman! Anyway...it has been a while but I've been tinkering away on some bots for GTM Live!

First up is Carrion! I was experimenting with a claw mechanism which eventually evolved into a General Chompsalot like machine! (I wonder where the electronics are?  :mrgreen:)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/22569Carrion.png)

Second up is Phantom! I wasn't sure what kind of flipper I wanted to make but was given the idea by Doodlez to create a 4 bar lifter! I have to admit, I love how it works!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80117Phantom.png)

Last but not least is Werewolf! The original Stock version worked well with rapidly spinning claws but as spinners aren't allowed in GTM Live, I had to think of a different way of implementing them...I like the final result!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71660Werewolf.png)

I didn't have that in mind when building it, I may make it switchable or something.  :smile:

i have one complaint though. it looks very... square and boxy for a dragon, and not "organic" enough.

Complaint noted: it would have looked a tad better if it didn't have those big boxes on it's shoulders but the batteries and stuff needed to go somewhere! I feel I tend to make better "organic" looking robots that don't rely heavily on extenders/armour panels (Cobra and to a degree, Crocognaws) so perhaps I'll have to make a non-extenderbot version soon.  :smile:
Title: Re: Orc's DSL Showcase
Post by: jdg37 on July 18, 2017, 08:29:11 AM
Most of the time when I do a second iteration of an extender I've built, I tend to go regular chasis. I've found knowing all the dimensions of the extender beforehand allows me to make a detailed plan for hybridizibg between the chasis plus extenders so I can use the extra weight for whatever else I want to do (Tor2ga and the LW Peckers being my prime examples). Love how much fun you have with your bots.

So I've been working on this project for the last few days...I present to you all "The Rat Race"!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61224The Rat Race.png)

The inspiration behind this ragtag group of rodents came from Creepy Crawlies from Battlebots, the rat robots from Robotica and robots I've seen on here with different configurations! I had the random idea of "Would it possible to make a group of bots that all share the same base body but have different weapons/personalities etc." All of these bots share the same base chassis, wheels and wheel motors and armour plating and tails. Everything else is different depending on the robot. They could either compete individually as Cruiserweights or pair together as a SuperHeavyweight entry.

Here is their insides too.

This is such a cool concept and the bots looks super cool too. I particularly like Labrat,Nibbler, Rattrap and Cheesnout. I wonder if any tournament hosts would let you enter all 6 and then pick and choose which pairings you want to fight with. Almost like a swiss army bot but not.

Also love that you matched the battery colours to the exteriors. The level of attention to detail is real.

All the old guard had to relearn DSL and convert their mindset from DSL-S to IRL. Newbies and people that didn't build much DSL-S in 2.1 came in with a fresh mind and so take to the very different building style more easily. It's why you don't really see the best 2.1 or stock builders making god-tier IRL bots, I think.

I've been working on a few weird bits of stuff recently so have a mix of robots! These aren't my best bots, just ideas I wanted to try, they'll be improved in the future! First up is Squish...think Milly Ann Bug but with 2 more sections. Each section contains a battery to run the robot while the head has the motors, control board and main ramming weapons.  :smile:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7900Squish.png)
Secondly, here is Robo-Punk. A friend asked me to make a 4 wheeled robot with a wedge-like front. (Yes it is underweight, wasn't sure what to add to it!)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81150Robo-Punk.png)
Lastly, here is Duality, I feel it looks a lot like Pitbull from Robot Wars. It isn't the most efficient bot but I wanted to see if I could make this wacky, invertible idea come to life.  :mrgreen:

Here is the second of the Construct-O-Bots: Wrecker! Based on a crane truck and a wrecking ball, it actually has a weapon that can swing around (that hasn't AGODed yet). While it is on an E-Tek and was meant to be spun around by the motor. Instead, it now relies on kinetic force where it rams into other robots and hopefully the wrecking ball will do the rest! I plan on making a Mk.2 at some point!

So I've been working on a 3rd version of my crocodile bot.

Looking hella fine  :heart_smiley: Nice to see you finally beefed up the hammers.

Definitely needed the hammers beefing up, they didn't do anything much last time!

it looks like big metal friend but MOAR ORCISH

Wasn't meant to look Orcish but hey, I can see what you mean! :P

It's not super pretty, but the big goofy face won me over. Are they Geared Betas or Burst Betas?

Who cares about looking pretty when you can smash another robots skull in? ;D They are geared motors!

The face shovel looks great.

Thank you, again props to DSC for helping me out with it!

Oh boy, it's been a while again...guess I should post some new builds of mine for an upcoming project to do with Orc's Wars! ;)
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
First up, here's an updated version of a robot which I feel caught a lot of eyes when I uploaded it: Cobra! He's a tad underweight and needs a skin but he's mostly complete! Might add some spikes to the main chassis.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
Next up, a new entry based on one of my favourite robots of all time: Aggrobot! This is Orange Beast and he is purely designed as a rambot!
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
Lastly, here is a bot inspired by Panic Attack: this is Stresshead! I'm really happy with how this one turned out with thanks to Roboteer for his advice!

As always, all feedback/criticism is welcome and appreciated!

I can see where you're coming from, we'll call it a mixture of both, eh? ;)

I have 4 robots to share with you all today! First of all is a new version of an old robot: Mastermind! It's now a flipper while still keeping the brain in the jar theme!
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Next up is Red Wrecker: initially my version of a robot called Ajax by a fellow YouTuber who is interested in the Orc's Wars series to try and show him how I would build the robot to the IRL/OW ruleset, if that makes sense. :smile:
 [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Another new version of an old robot: here's Humanity II! Instead of relying so much on extenders, I made the face under the mask it's paintjob and am much happier with the outcome!
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
Last but not least: Scrapmunch, a robot based on Shredder: a favourite design of mine!

Hmmm beautiful face right there  :thumbup . Liking the compactness think it's a good step forward, try continuing to reduce size of the chassis more often on bots now so there's less dead space. Will allow more weight to decorate and less waste, Love the bot  :bigsmile:
Title: Re: Orc's DSL Showcase
Post by: TheOrcCorp on June 30, 2018, 06:35:25 AM
Got 3 new bots to share! First up is the blubbery buffoon Tusk! I wanted to make a walrus robot, that's all the story to it really: not the most effective either!
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
Next up is a Terrorhurtz (and to a smaller degree, Beta) styled robot which fuses a hammer and an axe together: I'm pretty pleased with it (also you get a cookie if you can guess where the name comes from!)
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
Lastly, the return of my signature bot after it was ripped to shreds by Jamie's Hollowing Out Souls: here is Deadgnaws! This is the second version with an improved wedge and visual features!

All 3 of these look sweet. The new Deadgnaws looks really good and polished and I look forward to seeing it fight. Tusk is super cute too. Really is amazing how well you can get the likeness of these creatures you build down while still having it be a functional bot, Orc.

Pummelwhack is sweet too, though I do have a bit of advice for this one. With the ~30KG you have left I think I'd try to fill some of those gaps in top a bit. Will provide some additional protection to the internals as well as make it look a bit more polished I think. Other than that looks great!

Title: Re: Orc's DSL Showcase
Post by: Badger on June 30, 2018, 11:28:44 AM
I think pummelwhack's biggest issue is the hammer/axe itself. To be blunt, it's seriously fugly. The two heads don't mesh well at all, the shaft looks a bit weak to hold a huge-ass hammer and an axe head, and it kinda looks like you glued a tetris piece on the end.

For all your bots flaws, they all have a lot of character, which is important for IRL and seriously lacking in a lot of builders. If you can polish some of the rough edges you'd have a lot of gems.

Both of those robots look great :mrgreen:! mayby you could make the weapon of Deadgnwaws 2 more powerful, by adding large Typhoon teeth or two or 3 Discs and evem more teeth, but to do this, you would have to remove some armor or make a less powerful drive, but I'm pretty sure it's causing enough without those improvements, too. Can't wait to see how it does at Orc's Wars :Popcorn.

New DG looks fantastic, and from what I've seen of it so far remarkably effective considering it only has 2 small typhoons.

Spider it is a neat idea but it could use some polish I feel. The mandibles looks pretty flimsy and maybe a bit oversized too, and I think the transition from the wheelguards into the front wedge could be cleaner too.

Good to have you back building again though Orc!
Title: Re: Orc's DSL Showcase

Thanks everyone! It feels good to build again! :mrgreen:

I would give Deadgnaws II bigger teeth but it would require a LOT of changes...but larger teeth for Deadgnaws III perhaps? ;)

I get what some of you mean with the mandibles, I do have the weight to improve on them. The idea is that they trap a robot from moving so they can't get free straight away (probably wouldn't work but the idea is there right? XD)

Should hopefully have some more new bots and rebuilds here soon! :mrgreen:

The other robot is Waaaghboss - basically took my LW Grunt and made it bigger. Wanted to use the Battleaxe component for a while so I felt it suited.

Three more bots to show off today, I've been a busy bee.
First up is Necky III - if it's not broken, don't fix it: something I should have probably thought about regarding the first model...so I went back to the basics, I'm happy with how it looks.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
Next is a simple rear hinged flipper named Vivacious C (VVC for short). Based off a custom wrestler I made in the 2K games.

Finally, my first dustpan and it comes in the form of an old bot: Skorp is back and ticked off more than normal.

Two more bots that were essentially upgrades/tweaks: I will have some new bot projects coming very soon.
First for today is Humanity 2.5: the base body is the same but the side parts have been completely rechanged for a simplistic look. I'm happy with the new skinned face too.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
And for the other: a favourite amongst the Discord server, it's Nogoodnik. A titanium 'tashe and some slight upgrades/tweaks all around.

Also, we want to try and get people to showcase their bots here more as people can actually get proper feedback instead of robots being skipped over/missed due to how busy Discord can be: as it turns out, both GTM and RA2C have their perks and we want to try and integrate them some more!
Title: Re: Orc's DSL Showcase
Post by: TheRoboteer on January 08, 2023, 02:07:32 PM
Solid work. Is the axe on a regular VDMA or a slow one? I'm still torn about which I prefer personally. Regular is definitely better for damage, but the extra retract power of the slow ones can help prevent you getting stuck.

One change I would suggest would be to bring back the "horns" you had on the version before this. Being able to trap opponents on your wedge while you go to town on them with the axe is pretty paramount for axes and hammers to be competitive.

That said, the eyebrows and other facial features may already do that so they might not be necessary.

Is it only 2 battlepacks and an ant BTW? With a burst and 4WD that's likely to see you run out a fair ways before 3 mins, especially with how often axes tend to fire. I'd try to find weight for some more batts if possible, unless I've missed some

The axe is a regular but I can adjust that and add the horns if need be aftering some testing! I'll fix the battery issue though!

The croc is back with a slighty revised version! Juggergnawt has probably been my most consistent Gnaws-bot to date and while I have been tempted to make a new 2WD one...why fix what isn't broken right?

That being said, as the splash shows I have fixed a few issues that have been bugging me and I feel this looks a lot better than it did before!

(EDIT: Forgot to mention that I used the right green this time, no Killertron mishaps now :laughing)

Looking lovely. Your themeing is always on point.

What voltage is the weapon motor? I have two concerrns about the facelift. One is self righting, but if you've got a 72V weapon motor you'll probably be alright (definitely worth a test though)

The other is how far the weapon teeth are from the ground. I feel like you may struggle to get a good bite on stuff with shallow wedges even if you manage to get under them, though again I could be wrong. Will be a case of testing it to see.

Thank you! Weapon motor is 48V, I've tried 72V a few times but always felt it was too unstable - it can self right and with how persistant AI is, even more so.

I think it looks higher than what it actually is (was one of my peeves with older versions), in testing it seems to do pretty decently if it gets under something...but I'm sure when it comes to actual comps I'll be wrong :laughing
