Don't mix stock and DSL.
What's the weight and armor?

There's also custom in there.



Anyone else notice the anti-ballasts from Clickbeetles component pack?

Hey, you stole my avatar! jk. Anyways take a look at some otherpeoples showcases for ideas.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: NFX on August 01, 2011, 10:34:35 AM
Few pointers here. First of all, mixing Stock and DSL is frowned upon, as is using cheatbot2 (Judge Burst can be justified in IRL building), and custom component, excluding Smartzones (Needed for most AI .py files to work). Try to see what you can build sticking to the standard DSL components first. =)

i tried to revise the design
the reason i mixed everything was because me and my cousin are seeing who can build the best middleweight bot and we are allowed to use any mix of components

There ya go
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on August 01, 2011, 11:33:02 AM
Get rid of the storm burst that is facing up. It is not needed as your bot can run upside-down.

The general rule is one ant battery per spin motor. Get rid of all those black batteries.

Use one burst piston and use extenders to put more weapons on it, like razor tips or small DS teeth.

I think you're using too much Co2, use 1 or 2 tanks. (not much knowledge with pokers)

Shrink the chassis to fit the components.

The drive motors are OK, but change the wheels to something grippier like Techno Destructo wheels.

Post by: Scorpion on August 01, 2011, 11:46:21 AM
You can get the chassis a lower height by clicking at the very bottom of the slider, rather than just moving it down.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on August 01, 2011, 03:10:20 PM
I revised the design even more using you guys' advice
i tested it and its pretty fast and does a good ammount of damage

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: NFX on August 01, 2011, 03:13:49 PM
Next step sould be to shrink the chassis around the components. And angle connectors aren't useful for what you're doing, you need Poly Extenders, or aluminium is they keep getting broken.

Another thing you'd want to do is use the IMG tags. It makes it a lot easier and cleaner to read through your showcase.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on August 01, 2011, 03:17:29 PM
Not bot-related, but use [img] tags. The button is to the left of the hyperlink button.

Just post a picture of your updated bot. Some of us, including me, don't necessarily want to bother to download a video when a picture would be just as informative and use less server space. A video in this case is more hassle for you and everyone, and less practical.

Also videos of bots in action don't show insides. Most of them anyway.

i'm not a very good general builder and I havent posted here in a long time so I thought i'd try my hand at irl building and build a replica of my antweight masochist

Good to see you building. You'll need this: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2143.0.html. (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,2143.0.html.) A picture of the bot your replicating might help aswell.

decided to try and make a decent bot for once and came up with this:  (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43602sunflower of doom.jpg)
I should have some more bots uploaded soon after the blades of fury tournament as I do not want to reveal my entry
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on January 17, 2012, 04:06:56 PM
Nice first attempt. Use multi extenders instead of baseplate anchors. You only need three ants. Use vlads, hypnos, or tornado wheels for wheels. You can also shrink the chassis. What's the weapon powered by?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on January 17, 2012, 04:08:27 PM
That would get outweaponed by a LW...

What motor powers the weapon?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on January 17, 2012, 04:08:43 PM
a tmw3r2 ( I think thats what its called )
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on January 17, 2012, 04:10:22 PM
I'm not sure if that's enough. Is it the one with the double sides or the one that looks like the one from stock? Also, what armor is it?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on January 17, 2012, 04:12:41 PM
the one with double sides, and the armour is steel 3
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on January 17, 2012, 04:14:15 PM
I think the motor is fine. You might want to have some lighter armor and some bottom protection.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on January 17, 2012, 04:20:21 PM
how would I go about adding protection to the bottom without using right angle connectors ? because i'm trying to add a ramplate or disc to the bottom as the chassis is about the same size as a ramplate
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on January 17, 2012, 05:40:36 PM
Find the halfsheet in the extras area of the bot lab. There's an attachment point right on the center of the bottom side. That attachment point will all you to put the halfsheet directly too the bottom of the robot.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on January 28, 2012, 10:46:01 PM
Nice design. I'd use medium beater bars mounted on the wide end instead of razors, it'd make it look more IRL IMO.

Post by: cephalopod on January 29, 2012, 06:09:37 AM
They're DSL Bars, not Beater Bars, but yes, they'd be mounted like that.

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Naryar on January 29, 2012, 01:43:14 PM
What it needs : Less empty space, a less overkill weapon motor, better wheels, better weapons.

Does the weapon go through the wheels?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on January 29, 2012, 02:11:06 PM
yes, but i'm making this one just for effectiveness rather than IRL, i'm going to make 2 versions of each bot i make from now, 1 IRL and 1 competitive

spinning weapons are never supposed to cut though wheels in dsl unless you are making it for a un-realistic tourney such as steel warzone or something
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on January 29, 2012, 02:18:58 PM
oh, okay i'll just fix that then
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: LiNcK on January 29, 2012, 02:57:54 PM
It can still use less empty space :P
Try to paste all the components as close together (Saste the rear end of those NPCs to eachother & Paste the TWM3R to the NPCs instead of leaving some space between em)
Then fit the batteries on whatever small space you have left (Above & Next the TWM3R)
If you simply CANT fit enough batts in the super small chassis then grow it a bit to make em fit :P

I usually never have a space in my chassis for batteries though, I just push em whereever there are holes :3
Try to make the bar cover more ground than your bot, That way before anythng touches you theyll be blown away by the spinner :D
You can also use NPC Normals for the LW version & Put some techno wheels, Itll get rid of your unrealistic prob & Wont loose much speed. (Its LW so it doesnt need NPC fasts anyways)


Thats for a really efficient competitive build there, Not much eye candy ^^'
Really nice though ;DDD

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on January 29, 2012, 04:54:22 PM
Lurk in Craaig's showcase and don't use multi extenders unless your using them on the baseplate.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on January 29, 2012, 04:54:54 PM
Use aluminum extenders or other kinds of extenders instead of multis outside the chassis, multi extenders are extremely weak outside of the chassis.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on January 29, 2012, 05:02:42 PM
Ok, I'll redo the extender work and have a look around craaigs showcase tomorrow
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: cephalopod on January 30, 2012, 01:37:59 AM
Just another quick tip, try not to use slim motors - they suck. And that bot is depending entirely on stuff going up the wedge to hit the disk - have a click around my showcase like MassimoV said to see how I do it. Perfectly takes out even the wedgiest bots >:D
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on February 14, 2012, 07:02:41 PM
made a hs with 24 razors:  (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76318imma firing mah RAZORS!!!!.jpg)
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: The Ounce on February 14, 2012, 07:24:59 PM
It looks nice.  Not sure what motor is powering the weapon, but I would upgrade it to a 6-Mag, because I doubt what you have right now is strong enough to spin that disc at a reasonable speed.  You might as well add some more armor or stabilizers while you're at it.

Also, are you sure the weapon doesn't cut through the wheels?  To me it looks like it does from the second picture.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on February 14, 2012, 07:26:29 PM
its a tornado mer, and it just misses the wheels, barely
edit: added 3 half sheets to the bottom that work as stabilisers as well as armour.

Oh, so it's an intentional ripoff ?

Anyways the razors which are pointing towards the hammers are useless. Remove them and put them somewhere else.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on February 15, 2012, 06:43:00 AM
i didn't mean to rip off grog i just couldn't think of a name for it but i edited it and removed the hammers completely and added more razors, its got 50 now
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Naryar on February 15, 2012, 06:47:20 AM
So you just took the bot and made it a more generic shell spinner ?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on February 15, 2012, 06:49:14 AM
the hammers werent doing much so i thought it would be better to add weapons that do something than just have hammers that sit there and just add weight
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on March 24, 2012, 08:37:35 AM
because of my HS's epic failure so far in RIW3 i decided to have a go at a hw vs:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12330Heavy duty 2.jpg)
npc drive, perm 132 weapon motors, hammers on 20x200 dsl bars, no wedges required, suprisingly stable
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on March 24, 2012, 10:51:01 AM
Hey, not bad. What's the armor on it?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on March 24, 2012, 11:02:38 AM
Steel 5
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on March 24, 2012, 11:31:34 AM
Try making the chassis smaller, downgrade to titanium 5, get some more external armor, and maybe get heavy hammers.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Naryar on March 25, 2012, 05:18:12 AM
The four small DSL bars are entirely useless. Get rid of them and try 45 kg hammers.

Pretty sure you can attach the hammers to smaller multiextenders and save 6 kg as well.

Oh and while not bad, it's unrealistic. Build realistic or you won't be accepted in 95% of tournaments.

off to barcelona in a few hours so i thought i'd leave on my first try on a trinity spinner: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95334turbulence 2.jpg)
the chassis is the lowest the drive motors will allow, 60kg hammers on long2 pistons, can beat every dsl bot ( apart from Pon2n )
ti 3 armour etekdrive motors for drive
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: 090901 on March 25, 2012, 09:07:49 PM
I would put the motors out side the chassis and just make the chassis small enough for the MEs, ants, and CB

Post by: Tweedy on March 31, 2012, 07:44:57 AM
got back from barcelona yesterday and made the changes to turbulence:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86481Turbulence 3.jpg)
plastic 3, motors and burst pistons mounted on dsl bars, etek drive motors, 70kg hammers on long2 burst pistons, techno wheels

made a mw vs based on Craaigs Pyrexia:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/27479pyrexia mw.jpg)
steel1 armour, npc's on dsl bars, perm 132 on a dsl bar, 2 30kg hammers on a dsl bar, angle connectors ( he says shamefully ) to attach the stabilisers that are also dsl bars
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on March 31, 2012, 10:07:16 AM
400 kg means its a hw

you could try swapping out the anglers for something else (anglers have crap hp anyway) or downgrading the extenders holding the drive to titanium round ones to save some weight
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: RammingSpeed on March 31, 2012, 10:13:15 AM
I'd swap those minis for ants, if they reach.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on March 31, 2012, 10:30:56 AM
changes made: motors now mounted on steel extenders, anglers swapped for a setup of multi extenders and polycarb extenders.
now weighs 397kg
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Naryar on March 31, 2012, 10:45:29 AM
Post another pic so we can see how you managed your extender work.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: ty4er on March 31, 2012, 10:50:47 AM
ew dont use steel extenders for this. use flipper segments (angled) so you only need one for the motors and stabilisers each side. e.g. (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84091Quarticsarefun.png)

Then use a smaller bar/something different and see if you can somehow fit 60kg hammers on. or just add some weapons to the bar stabilisers
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on March 31, 2012, 11:30:37 AM
made some changes and this is what i ended up with:

Shrink the chassis.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: ty4er on March 31, 2012, 11:34:20 AM
uh not quite right. get rid of the poly extender and me holding it and put the bar straight on the flipper segment. you will need a 90/45 flipper segment probably and need it like what i showed you. then you can get rid of the baseplate anchor and extender on that and just put the me as far near the front as you can and straight on goes the perm. then see if you can get some front/bottom protection and shrink the chassis a bit
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on March 31, 2012, 01:16:52 PM
I'll upload how it turned out in about an hour but until then, what do you guys think of the rebuilt turbulence i posted before the mw ?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on March 31, 2012, 01:18:53 PM
I think It's not too bad. It seems underweaponed though. Usually don't use DSL bars for extenders in trinity spinners.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on March 31, 2012, 01:48:49 PM
swapped them for steel extenders in the same configuration and it now weighs 799.9kg

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: RammingSpeed on April 01, 2012, 08:50:21 AM
I'd use DSL bars (if they are actually lighter, I can't remember) and upgrade to Grannies. Other than that I love it. :gawe:
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on April 01, 2012, 09:13:10 AM
dsl bars for what ?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: ty4er on April 01, 2012, 09:13:29 AM
there we go :D

and dont use dsl bars, they'd hit the ground and ruin it imo. iirc vlads have a better grip than grannies but i cant remember, they might have more hp.

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on April 01, 2012, 09:16:20 AM
yeah, i think vlads do have more grip, and i'm surpirised that i made a decent, relatively competitive bot for a change
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: RammingSpeed on April 01, 2012, 09:26:17 AM
I meant for the stabilisers, but I think ty4er's right.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on April 01, 2012, 09:28:45 AM
yeah, i was using dsl bars for stabilisers before but they needed  a much weightier setup to stop it hitting the ground and just made it look bad in general
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: NFX on April 01, 2012, 09:29:15 AM
You do get 40cm wide DSL Bars, but they are a LOT heavier than skirts. Even the Steel ones. And they don't offer a great increas in HP, IIRC. Stick to skirt stabilisers, but I might try to get a poly extender holding the hammers instead of a titanium one. It's not as if it's going to be hit very often at all.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on April 01, 2012, 09:50:01 AM
just swapped the ti extender for a polycarb one and thanks for that as that exteder wasn't hit once in testing and that gives me more weight so i've upgraded the armour to steel 3
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: ty4er on April 01, 2012, 09:57:18 AM
I meant for the stabilisers, but I think ty4er's right.
sheets are stronger and weigh a lot less than bars btw. you have seen heavyweights with bars because sheets arent long enough but on here they are.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on April 01, 2012, 10:14:13 AM
You're gonna need some form of bottom protection.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on April 02, 2012, 09:49:01 AM
it doesnt really need bottom protection because if something gets under it the force from the weapon forces it to flip until it hits the ground and stabilises again.
also, new trinity, aralak:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71180aralak.jpg)
3 ants, techno wheels, steel 3 armour, etek drive motors, 2 long2 pistons with 3 70kg hamers on each, the chassis is as small as it could possibly go and as low as possible
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: ty4er on April 02, 2012, 11:44:00 AM
you can get rid of the multiextender holding the drive on and put it on the extender holding the piston on

bots never get close enough to hit the extenders and how would i get the chassis to shrink only hal a square on the grid rather than a full one ? will i need to use the trov glitch ?

Trov glitch isnt useful here unless you use a donut which even I can't do. One more thing is it stable with the WBC wheels?

Uncheck the "Snap To Grid" option when you're making the chassis in Step 1.

st3 is pretty bad... you may want to upgrade to ti5 (reduce the chassis if you must)

(that is if it still has steel 3)

What Jonzu is trying to say is that Steel 10 is overkill. Downgrade armour and maybe use the weight for more/better weapons or more external chassis protection.

You can do better on extender work as well. Try putting the two halfsheets into a X shape, and attach motors and stabilizers directly to them. Maybe another extender so the motors's axles are parallel.

Post by: NFX on May 26, 2012, 10:07:54 AM
You're right, it doesn't. Go back to the Tornado Mer motor, and make the chassis small enough so that the tribar doesn't cut through it, but big enough so the wheels don't stick out. The top could easily be rectangular, with not all sides being the same length, or all wedges being the same steepness. It'll still look fine, in my view.

He just needs to rotate the ME's the other way. One side of the ME's has the AP slightly embedded inside it, so some stuff won't attach, like the DSL disc.

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: NFX on June 24, 2012, 04:33:46 PM
That just means you need bigger wheels. ME's should be one notch up from the baseplate to make them as in the middle as possible on the lowest chassis possible. Even so, with Hypno Wheels don't give perfect invertibilty on NPC's. Mini Wheels would be a better choice, they give a slightly wider radius for much less weight, if you don't mind the slightly lower grip and HP. Vlad Wheels would also work, but they're much larger than Hypnos, and stability might become an issue.

Post by: Gauche Suede on June 25, 2012, 06:23:52 AM
(please don't mark it as a bad advice.........) you should just lower the armor to Ti1(cause SnSes knock opponent away form their chassis, so it's okay to have a not-so-strong chassis armor) (Fair enough) and try to get technos. (No, that last piece of advice is bullsh**. Try and use technos on a flat design like this and tell me how it becomes epically unstable)

[POST BAD ADVICE'D BY THE MIGHTY NARYAR]
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: NFX on June 25, 2012, 06:32:19 AM
I wouldn't advise adding Techno Wheels, they're a LOT wider than Hypnos, and I'm concerned they may extend past the razors. Vlads would be fine if Hypnos don't offer invertibility, or Mini Wheels. Perhaps you could add some Side Panels to the top and bottom of the discs, to offer a little bit of protection should something get an opportunity to attack them.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Naryar on June 25, 2012, 11:56:16 AM
Gauche, if you are unsure about a piece of advice do NOT post it. Especially not when you are new and you have still plenty of things to learn. I've noticed that while most of your advice is OK, a part of it is just awful and this will not stand.

If you didn't already get it, "use technos and hypnos because they're the best wheels" is a generality, not something you must forcibly try to apply to each and every bot. Technos are only good on MW's or heavier anyways, unless you are using 1WD drive.

Now for why half of your advice is crap on that last post : because with technos the bot will become far taller, and far more unbalanced. It will mostly only have 2 points of contact, and will be far more prone to flying, generally failing and... you know why ? clone that bot, give it technos and try it in battle. You'll learn it by yourself.

/shameless plug

But yes, if you were to add techno's you'd have to rethink the design. Hypno's are fine for this, as long as it's invertible. Depends on how fast it spins..how does it fare against Paper Cut (the one in NAR, 4 or 5 :P)?

You should move the wheels out of the chassis and get something cooler-looking for the drum stabilizer (like some sort of tooth). IRL is all about aesthetics.

ugh irl drum

the front edges seem pretty exposed for a spinner irl, get longer shellparts and cover up the remainder of the side (assuming they're not 60cm already), they might even serve as wheelguards/axle support for the drive if they reach enough, and yes the chassis looks bulky and inefficient

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Conraaa on July 13, 2012, 05:10:02 PM
Good to see you liked my Two Tribes entry What I would do is have the middle set and top set of razors pointing downwards, covering the exposed extenders. You could probably downgrade those extenders because of that. And I would probably also have another set of razors on a skirt hinge at the top, to use weight up. and to possibly stop other robots going over.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: ty4er on July 14, 2012, 12:55:08 AM
shrink the chassis and actually have the wheels aligned :P

Your design involves a Dual Perm (which can counteract the flex due to gravity), and a disc which minimizes AGOD due to evenly distributed components.

His has Perms (and will immediately flex if one motor spins up faster than the other), and bars, which are already glitchy as is (imagine how many times you would have to rebuild it to get an evenly glitched one, let alone an unglitched setup.

So no, it's most definitely not worth the risk nor the effort. He would've been better off with more strategically placed MEs.


And stop talking back against a user who has specialized in these designs. It makes you look stupid.

on Plan B, rotate the razors so that the sharp side faces forward.
on On Melancholy Hill, just use this setup to attach drive and stabilizers: half sheet ->40 cm alu skirt -> back side to put drive(you can just use copals for this), front side to put stabilizer. And with the weight saved try to get more weapons( 3 razors isn't enough on a BW VS).

Hmm, does the chassis on the TS (?) need to be that big? If you shrunk it you could probably get more weapons.
On the VS, why not use angled skirts attached directly to the halfsheet?

Definitely looking better. Like I said on skype, you could shrink it even more but you'd have to angle the motor to keep it realistic, which I know you're not a fan of. The extra weight from shrinking it could be used on more armour or something.

More or less. It'd look a bit better if you axle loaded the drum out of the way while you were attaching the other two extenders, so they'd all overlap when it was spinning normally.

Yeah you won't be able to hit anything until you get under them.  Considering you only have a chassis wedge, I would move the blade closer to the front (try rotating the dual Magmotor).

That kind of thing happens all the time in stock.
its only happened on one of my stock bots
out of ~100+ bots

the only way to be sure is to check F12, even if it is agod reattaching it should help

Not really sure what to name it or skin it as, it has dual judge bursts, twm drive with hypno's and plastic 3 armour, it is also about as close as I could get to the power of a real pneumatic flipper at mw level.

No bot this time guys but a question, what bot type do you guys think that a bot called ZomBoy should be ?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Mr. AS on December 26, 2012, 09:02:23 PM
slow, heavily armored/weaponed pusher

and name it zombot instead of zomboy

Still working on the weapon system on Zombot but I made this for the time being:

Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on December 30, 2012, 03:10:03 PM
I get what you mean but with the weight being at what it is doing that would be next to impossible because the weapon brace also holds the top protection for the perms.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: MassimoV on December 30, 2012, 03:12:08 PM
Hmmmmm...Try using smaller MEs and the angled AP on the perm.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on December 30, 2012, 03:20:40 PM
There are no angled ap's they are MOE motors, does a perm 132 have the same power ? If so I'll just use them and re do the weapon brace.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase

Post by: Tweedy on January 02, 2013, 03:08:24 AM
Tried the perm 132's and they didn't produce the speeds that the bot needed to compensate for it's small ammount of weapons.
I also built this after 36 hours without sleep:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49855Un-named flipper.jpg)
I've yet to name it and skin it, I based off of tsunami.
8 ants, steel 3 armour, twm3r drive with hypno wheels, judge burst, self rights fine. It also flips nicely, it gives more of a pop than a slow but strong lift when most bots are compared to pneumatic systems.

needs some scratches or something, if you toned down how bright it is it would help.

tell me how many robots you've seen that have a nicer airbrushed paintjob than a chopper.

it needs more of a matte finish. its way to glossy.
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on January 03, 2013, 08:09:42 PM
It is possible to get a pattern like that on a bot using printed vinyl over paint which is what I plan on doing on my featherweight and antweight but I get what you mean and nobody would use that technique on a HW bot so I'll try and get a more realistic texture on it and make it a more of a matte finish.

I present the new lineup for LWS Robotics in the next release of LDAI, I figured that the bots previously that I had in LDAI were just plain bad and I had no inspiration to skin them so I thought because of the positive response to my bots lately I'd use those instead.
Expect the other teams that I have in LDAI to be updated as well as having another team or two in there  :smile:

More like Tsunami IMO. How good is it at flipping?
Title: Re: plazmic infernos dsl showcase
Post by: Tweedy on May 20, 2013, 10:53:41 AM
It's only really good at tipping because of the weight of the alu plates on the flipper and the low power of the pistons compared to judge bursts.

I'd like to take this opportunity to officially announce my retirement from building in it's entirety for the foreseeable future. Stuff IRL has just been taking over everything recently and ideas have been either impossible in ra2 or non existent. I'll still be around posting elsewhere but I won't be building for a good while now. I had a good time building while it lasted but I've got nothing to give anymore.

Got bored and had nothing better to do so I booted up the laptop and made this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92207dsl3 electric hammer.jpg)
Yeah I know the skin needs to be better but I couldn't think of anything at the time. The hammer is purely decorational as it is made from extenders as is the stopper at the back.

Can't add them, the long arms on the top of the weapon bracket are 6th in a chain.

Naturally my first thought :P
Looks cool though, although the blue plows look out of place (but useful). You could maybe upgrade them if you downgraded the bar to a 20 wide, and another 6 kg could be saved if you chassis mount the NPCs (they might already be but they look like they're on multi's to me).
Also I am dubious of how useful the sheet is mounted that way, I would've thought it'd be better along the chassis.
