1) Build to the weightlimit
2) The first is unrealistic as the spinner cuts right through the motors wheels ect.

I'm surprised that nobody else has mentioned this

Guys, lay it off, will you? He's tried installing DSL 2.0 and 2.1, and they crashed his game. The only way it works with DSL components is in Stock.

And by the way, what is so bad about being unrealistic? RA2 isn't reality. It's a game. And GTM shouldn't lose it's good reputation just because somebody was using their imagination. What are you going to do, sue yourself? Preytor_4 builds good bots. Give him some rest.

My first real DSL bot built in DSL 2.1: Pandorum

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62798screenshot_2.PNG)

how do i keep him stable instead of tilting forward
Tite 1 armor

Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: The Ounce on July 28, 2010, 01:18:56 PM
You need additional stabilizers; the setup you have now is unreliable since it's too short and it can sink into the floor.  I find that using DSL bars or skirts on a baseplate-mounted halfsheet works very well.

Alternatively you can ditch the wedge setup and use a balance bar system much like the one you have at the rear (it looks unnecessarily heavy BTW), but it's your choice.

Apart from stability, it has too many batteries; you can get away with 4-6 ant batteries.  Try to find other ways to build up to the weight limit (upgrading the armor and maybe the weapon motors would be a start).
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: inplabth on July 28, 2010, 01:53:27 PM
Well, Ounce covered it, except the 1030 KG thing. Were you using antiballast or was that your game glitching?
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: Preytor_4 on July 28, 2010, 02:16:24 PM
anti ballast

and here is Pandorum V2

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7713screenshot_3.PNG)
EDIT: Why is it that when i choose Tite 5 and delete the antiballast it goes to Tite 1
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: The Ounce on July 28, 2010, 02:30:15 PM
Unfortunately now it's overweight (weight limit for SHWs is 1200 kgs, unless you want to build an UHW, which is 5000 kgs).  Replace the 3 PC545s with 4 ant batteries, and shrink the chassis.
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase

Okay, long list ahead...

Use steel stabelizers
Make the chassis smaller
Don't use gothic axes
Underpowered
Gonna get raped against a popup
What's the armour
I could change my MW VS into a better SHW than this
Try something less complex since your new

Other than that, good.

Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: G.K. on July 28, 2010, 04:00:17 PM
It isn't underpowered. 4 is the smallest amount to keep it propely powered though. 6 would be better.

Post by: inplabth on July 28, 2010, 05:48:26 PM
It also looks like you need to reverse the direction of the spinners. They should hit the bot while swinging upwards for the greatest effectiveness (Usually, there are a few special cases).
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase

No i need to reverse the hammers they do go up but the hammers are backwards

If the chasis is smaller he can gain weight and use it in better drive NPCF or NPC.
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: Little lost bot on August 02, 2010, 12:53:25 PM
I would say try to minimize the empty space (gives your opponent less to hit and makes it easier to doge attacks) and yes try NPC's for drive's you'l get more speed.

Post by: Little lost bot on August 02, 2010, 02:04:57 PM
Nice now that looks improved. Now you should have a lot more speed and ramming power.


Now the next step is using the multi extender's instead of base connectors (the red and black striped one) it can connect to the base plate and save a lot of space. If you have trouble, don't worry I always have trouble getting then to work with me, but when it does it also saves wait (my grammar suck today)
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase

Use multi extenders instead of baseplate anchors

Get rid of back weapons, shrink the chassis slightly, use a multiextender instead of an anchor, use a ligher extender setup for the front weapon rack and add more weapons.
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase

Post by: Little lost bot on August 07, 2010, 12:15:05 PM
Try to get ride of the 2 frount motors it'l free up some more wait for weapons, then try using multi extenders instead of base plate ones.
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 07, 2010, 12:26:15 PM
Never EVER use 4wd on a lightweight. It doesn't need it.

Multi-extenders are the black ones with red stripes. They can attach to the baseplate.
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 07, 2010, 12:28:45 PM
And they are awesome as a general rule

4WD on a LW, as somebody said, is not needed excepted if you really are building for lulz and/or want the bot to fail (see Roly Poly)

Post by: Clickbeetle on August 19, 2010, 11:37:53 PM
You're taking the wrong approach... you should decide what type it's going to be, and THEN make a chassis.  Otherwise you might not be able to fit all the stuff in that you want, and if you do, there's likely to be wasted leftover space.


But that chassis looks like a popup if I've ever seen one.

A wedge would be nice to keep it stable. Also, either downgrade your type of hammer or remove 2, angle the motor as more of an HS, and make the bar longer.

Good, just get Metal Hinge wedges (they're better) with a single 80cm steel skirt.
I'm aware that they are better, but they wouldn't help with the stability issues.

Needs 3-4 ants
Can it self-right?
Use metal hinge wedges.
Try and get more armour then
try using the baseplate attachment on the halfsheets for stability and protection

Needs 3-4 ants No, i want it to have speed for more than needed
Can it self-right? Mauler Dances for a little while then bounces back up onto the wheels
Use metal hinge wedges. No, they don't help with stability
Try and get more armour then No
try using the baseplate attachment on the halfsheets for stability and protection Tried, didn't work

Downgrade the skirts to alum and add a metal hinge wedge in the middle.

Oh mannnn don't give advice if you don't know what you're talking about! By this I mean ty4er and freeeeez

Preytor, that bot has promise. Few things to make it better though:
You only need like 3-5 ants in there.
Those wedges aren't going to be good, if you want wedges use the door hinges.
I really dunno what to say about the weapon so I'll let Pwn or somebody tell you what to do.

Other than that, it's not bad.

Try getting rid of those end teeth as they don't do much and get in the way of the hammers.
Try minimising empty space and the amounts of ants.
Apart from that and a few other things it's good
Title: Re: Preytor_4's DSL showcase
Post by: martymidget on February 11, 2011, 01:08:44 PM
Yeah, lose the teeth. Normals ftw! You might want to remove some ants, and balance the ants out between each side, in case the weight distro is effected. :P

Hmm, since those are normal NPCs, maybe change them for NPCF + Micros. I don't know for certain, but it may improve speed (Need confirmation from Nar or 123 probably), and they would lower ground clearance too. :D

You could use the trov chasis glitch on that and upgrade the armor with the left over weight.

You could also ditch one of the DSL bars and mount everything off a single DSL bar and a shell pannel. So it would be...

Hammer                                                         Hammer
              Sheck Pannel--DSL bar--Sheck Pannel
Hammer                                                         Hammer

Are you able to use ME's instead of baseplates for the hammers and you need about 3-4 ants for now.
Armour?
Oh and i think you can shrink the chassis a bit more but overall it looks nice.

One Perm is not enough for this.

But really, stop restricting yourself cause you don't want to win your own tournament. Winning it's own tournament only happened ONCE, it was Reier, and it was with a very good bot.

Also, from what I have seen from your building, you don't know how to build very combat efficient bots, so it will be really hard to win your own tournament, unless this tournament fills up with unskilled n00bs and clueless builders, and that I doubt.
