Title: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on August 30, 2009, 10:45:26 PM
Maybe it's time for me to make a DSL showcase. :D

So far, the only DSL bots I've built are the ones in tourneys and the ones going to the NAR AI. So here's the only 2 spare bots that're not used anywhere:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18003flightinstructor.PNG)

This is Flight Instructor. 3 Vlad spikes on a Perm 80, astro drive, 3 ants, 1mm plastic. Though I like the design, its steering is too slow, so fast bots can still KO it from the side. Moreover, the underside sheets still aren't wide enough to make it stable. So I rebuilt it, and this came out:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73328flightinstructor2.PNG)

This time, I removed an ant, downgraded the wide ant wheels to regulars and upgraded to 1mm aluminum. I'm gonna give credit to Jules for inspiring me with his sh**AAR for this one. It's very much stabler than the first one, and the wedge actually helps in taking out rammers and pokers.

Oh well, back to stock for now... XD

Pretty good!  I'm worried about battery life though.  Maybe less weaponry...
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on August 30, 2009, 11:02:24 PM
Batteries are fine. That pic against 360AP had only 15 seconds left. I've always wanted an overkill on weapons. But since I couldn't attach a hex plate to a magmotor, I opted for the perm instead. However, I'm trying to make it have a better drive without sacrificing any of my weapon power. I changed the angled sheets to straight sheets, but it's too unstable for my liking. D:

Post by: Naryar on August 31, 2009, 02:28:39 AM
A double wedge like that is near-worthless if you consider the top speed of the bot.

And yes, 3 ants are fine for that bot.
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on August 31, 2009, 02:37:53 AM
Hmmm... I'm gonna fool around with the wedge setup and see if I can get slims on it.

Interesting idea using the hex plate to attach the weapons. I don't think I've seen that before.

Failed to fix FI2's drive problem, so I made a LW version of Hard Hat:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38974bft.PNG)

Blunt Force Trauma, 5mm aluminum, NPCFs, everything else is visible.

And yep, still as uncontrollable as Hard Hat. XD

I like...60kg hammers?

And - I cant get hexplates to attach to weapon motors of any sort
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 05, 2009, 10:37:34 AM
Just stick with 3 ants and get a WP365E in this.

EDIT: Inf these are 30kg's.

Here's the updated BFT:

Still 5mm aluminum and NPCFs. I just angled the sledges in because they look cooler that way. XD

Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Urjak on September 06, 2009, 12:06:20 PM
It would almost seam to me that wedge is bad for it. SHould any bot get under it, the weapon can't really hit. But if you didn't have the wedge, they would be able to hit.

Just a thought.
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 06, 2009, 12:09:38 PM
Hmm... good point. But the wedge is mostly for countering other wedges. I couldn't flip Ninja and BROKE! over without it.

Metal hinge. It's somewhere just below Scout's.

Here's my first AW, Jackhammer. 1mm steel, and you can see the rest.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/15229jackhammer.PNG)

I would've used 1mm plastic and a 25kg hammer, but I couldn't shave off 1.8kg from the chassis without making the attachments unrealistic.

And most of you must've already seen Grey Matter (either from CC or NAR AI, they're the same). But after seeing how hard NAR AI is, I decided to improve my old team as well. So here's Grey Matter 2:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48500greymatter2.PNG)

3mm plastic, NPCFs, everything else is visible. I kinda liked Dark Matter's style, so I mixed it with Grey Matter's power and I came up with that. What annoys me though, is that it occassionally gyro dances when it steers too fast and it also bounces from time to time during the start of the match. I might use Hypnos instead and widen its stance for the next revision. :D
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

this seems like a promising show case.
to follow.
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 21, 2009, 03:02:27 AM
Maybe a little too fast for my taste, but pretty good.

Also steel fail.
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 21, 2009, 03:05:08 AM
PB: Thanks. :D

Nary: I had about 1-2kg left on Jackhammer when I used 1mm tite so I used steel instead. And sometimes GM2's speed is also its weakness. Its speed combined with SnSnSnSnS's power would fling both bots OOTA in the Electric Arena 2 (though sometimes SnSnSnSnS would stay in the arena). XD

Post by: JoeBlo on September 21, 2009, 03:29:09 AM
I love the look of it and it looks effective too....

I was thinking CCIV (if it exists) would be HW again but who knows, its rather far away to really have anything set in concrete
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 21, 2009, 03:32:41 AM
Heh. GM2 couldn't beat half of NAR AI shell spinners (primarily because of the insane KE from the hammers, though it would fare better against the ones with irons and razors). But if CCIV is going to be HW, I assure you that I wouldn't enter a VS this time. :P

Post by: Pwnator on September 27, 2009, 12:21:37 PM
Darn. Missed SC's birthday. Belated happy birthday anyway, Starcore! :D

And here's a new old bot! :P

Some of you might have seen Dreamcatcher already from NAR AI. And since I'm rebuilding the whole team...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1208dreamcatcher2.PNG)

It seems like DC's the easiest bot to rebuild. It now has a slightly smaller (and lower) chassis, upgraded from carrots (I love the nickname) to small beater bars. Also upgraded the armor (forgot the former one) to 5mm plastic. It only improved slightly performance-wise, but an improvement nonetheless.

Currently building Grey Matter 3 at the moment, but the weapons keep AGODing. D:
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 27, 2009, 01:20:30 PM
AAAAH YOU GOT SLASHBACK 2

Seems the fight was a difficult one though...

Also you should get 50kg hammers rather than these 45 ones + beater bars.

Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 28, 2009, 10:50:12 AM
Yeah, I was surprised that it actually had a harder time against some steep wedged bots (Insanity was slightly easier, though).

Anyway, here's the second rebuild for the team:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14215infection2.PNG)

Infection sucks a lot since it's too slow and it's not protected well. This version is a huge step up. NPCs, 3mm plastic, and 4 razors. Though it uses skirt hinges, I was lucky to be able to make it get under some of the metal hinges (heck, it gets under Enfilad3 from time to time! AI'd!). It still hates SnSs, though. :D

mmmm yeah I would prefer to slow it down as well...
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 28, 2009, 11:11:10 AM
I'll see what I can do. But Infection 2 will stay as is. A slower version will be on another team. :D

Yeah you would be better off with 3mm plastic and Magmotor drive.

And Insanity is really weak as well...

Now I'm REALLY happy that Infection 2 had NPC drive! Because...

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7044infection2hazcon.PNG)

First try. It couldn't go under HazCon most of the time, but it still did. XD

Anyway, here's the rebuild for Paper Cut:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80259papercut2.PNG)

When I first built Paper Cut, it became my best bot (Nary also agreed on that before). But this time, I spent some time to improve it. 3mm plastic, 6 razors, 9 ants (yes I'm 4 short but it still performs nicely) and NPCF drive. BUT IT STILL COULDN'T GET UNDER THE DEVIL'S LIME!!! >:E

[sarcasm]Oh, and I made a new skin specifically for this bot.[/sarcasm]
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

It is? Which Zapper? I couldn't wait for you to showcase Zapper 10 so I decided to rebuild Paper Cut for now.

Meh, all the popups nowadays have tite sheet NPCF drive, guess I started a fad. :P
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 29, 2009, 12:07:13 PM
Well, I have to admit that I took the tite sheet idea from Bullet Ant, which in turn is a Zapper semi-clone. And popups having NPCF drive is just like stock MW popups having HPZ drive. :P

If you're going to get technical I had a 'different' looking Enfilad3 clone before you were on the forums.

Not like you did something remarkable and everyone started cloning you.

There has not been a flame war for ages around here and the CLOSEST thing was the Bumble Bee Discussion during BBEANS5, so dont say I 'flame' because I don't.

Paper Cut 2 looked too similar to the other popups in NAR AI, so I reused Infection 2's chassis and I came up with this:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69466papercut3.PNG)

5mm tite, 8 razors and is now a true popup for easy self-righting. Though it uses BSGs, it has 8 ants so it packs a bigger punch than the more underpowered PC2. And it can finally go under SlashBack 2 and The Devil's Lime 2. >=D
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: The Ounce on September 30, 2009, 12:21:24 AM
Nice!
I'm working on a rebuilt of Bullet Ant myself.  Too bad I can't come up with something decent, let alone find the time to test it.
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on September 30, 2009, 12:26:38 AM
Oh, I forgot. I had to BFE the right BSG because it can only be attached when it's stacked halfway into the NPCF. But it's still realistic. :D

Here's the Monochrome rebuild:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/99029monochrome2.PNG)

I forgot to put the weight in the splash. 798.9kg, 14 razors, 14 ants and 2 JX smalls. Originally 5mm tite but I had extra weight, so I threw in 10mm plastic in there. Designed to be a shell spinner killer, and it didn't disappoint me. Almost OHKO'ed Grog and can put up a decent fight against SHWs even when AI'ed. And I just realized that the half-sheet + small wedge combo is wedgier than the 120cm steel sheet. O_O
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on October 01, 2009, 03:58:01 AM

Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 01, 2009, 04:01:18 AM
I was actually surprised that it can go under HnM but not Second Sentinel. XD
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 03, 2009, 09:06:08 AM
And here's the new Warhead:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/27913warhead2.PNG)

3mm plastic, and the same old stats.

The old Warhead had some chassis protection alright, but most of you might have noticed that the rear part isn't that well-protected. I made the chassis smaller so I can use 30x80 DSL bars for protection. It works most of the time, and it also deal damage. Some lucky bots however, were still able to sneak some hits into the chassis (kinda like a popup KO'ing a castered HS).

Now if the game cooperates with me, Grey Matter 3 can be finished tonight so I can fully test the II AI. XD
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Sage on October 03, 2009, 09:13:27 AM
Monochrome is unrealistic.

The excuse of cutting a whole in the front armor/wedge is not acceptable for that wide of a row of razors.

And II AI is stock, btw.
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 03, 2009, 09:16:22 AM
Well, considering that FnF was also under those conditions (the rack goes through both plows), I assumed that Monochrome 2 will be allowed in NAR AI.

And yeah, I wanted to finish my team rebuild so I can go back to stock. :P

How did you mount the DSL Bar on the bottom?

It's in the 2nd pic. ME at the top, then another one attached to its left, another one attached downwards, and another one attached to its right then rotated downwards.

Couldn't make a decent replica of Cyclone-Raptor and Last Rites, I opted for Toro instead as my Replica Wars entry:

(http://web.archive.org/web/20060213215849/www.longnow.org/rhino/pix/torovlad.jpg)

5mm plastic, and what's interesting is that both the bot and this replica use 4WD Mag drive and a chassis full of battlepacks. XD

yeah, definetly. you could flip out a lot of bots with that design.
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 27, 2009, 08:23:52 AM
Actually, it couldn't flip most of my test bots with that. It's for fun anyway. XD

And after 9 rebuilds, here's the NEW Grey Matter! :D

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/3523greymatterx.PNG)

Yes, yes, it's now a sawbot. I just couldn't get rid of the nasty AGOD that's been plaguing GMs 3-9. Anyway, tite 3, NPCFs and an odyssey batt + 5 ants with 4 Cleprechaun saws on 2 Perm 132 ELs. It rarely self-rights on its own, but I AI'ed it to be invertible to it can self-right while attacking upside-down. Though faster and wedgier, it now barely stands a chance against Dual-Perm shell due to the relatively weak HP of the saws (but it gets lucky from time to time).
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Reier on October 27, 2009, 08:29:21 AM
You know the Clep saws have a square collision mesh, did you rotate them each so that is minimized?

Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 28, 2009, 04:40:07 AM
@ Reier - I forgot about that. It's not really that big of a deal since it spins fast anyway. But I'll fix it when I can. :D

@ Nary - Of course. I'll send it when I finish Reier's suggestion. :D

@ 123 - I initially used Team Nightmare's disc before this, but they were too small for the bot to scoot around when inverted.

@ JB - I deleted all the other fails. I kept the original and GM2 since they didn't AGOD. XD

Post by: Pwnator on October 28, 2009, 05:45:26 AM
I don't have Hamachi too. :P

If GMX can't stand Grog, then it also wouldn't stand a chance against SnSnSnSnS (unless it's an open arena, I was able to kick shell spinners out from time to time >=D), too. :P

Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on November 01, 2009, 02:46:57 AM
Yep, and it lost. XD

Now I'm working on the 2nd team for NAR AI, with Jackhammer, Hard Hat and an updated version of Flight Instructor (removed a Vlad spike and amped up drive to slims). And with them is a new bot, Umbra:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83460umbra.PNG)

3mm Tite, 11 ants, NPCF drive, 2 Hammer 4s and 2 60kg sledges. Heavily inspired by Stratosphere, I tried to improve its spinup time while retaining its damage potential. With respect to NAR AI, Umbra only has above average wedges, but it can be a pain to get out of its grasp if it gets under you. But with the itty bitty chassis, 3mm tite here feels like 1mm plastic in Mako. I might downgrade some of the skirts so I can add 3 casters under the chassis. :D

Post by: Pwnator on November 01, 2009, 07:48:16 AM
I would love to, but it AGODs every time I use other components. Even the holed and armored discs make them AGOD. Besides, the HP the solid disc has is quite handy when dealing against shell and HSes.

DM543's right... DSL bars are better than discs HP-wise.

Post by: Pwnator on November 03, 2009, 05:13:19 AM
I remade Umbra, and now has a 20x120 DSL bar (the hammers are 3 pixels away from hitting the batteries :O) and a 20x40 bar on the other side of the axle for extra protection. It's slightly better since the hammers stick out a bit more so that means the shell spinners are going to have a harder time. Fortunately, its AGOD is totally harmless (both meshes are aligned perfectly but are rotated out of place), so I kept it like that. Also, here's the new Flight Instructor, and they're both in an Inglourious Basterds-themed team along with Jackhammer and Hard Hat. :D

And yes, The Apache de-shell Bane II every time. >=D

[Edit] Lol, I just realized Apache scored 12345 when Bane glitched out. XD

IDK how you managed to stabilize a metal hinged heavy duty VS without rear stabilizers...

Beware the long belt Perm though. They have only 400 HP and this one isn't protected at all .

Edit: Did you ripped that off Click's Darkling 5 ?
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on November 03, 2009, 05:53:17 AM
I originally thought of making a dual VS using Stratosphere's body setup, but I found it to be inefficient, so I used a single Perm EL instead. And I ran into the stability problem in the early stages, so the 'eagle wings' actually help in stabilizing, and they also make it look cool. XD

Also, the 60kg sledges also help a bit in adding front weight and slightly protecting the Perm at the same time. I never had the motor ripped off before. :D

DP!

Here's the MW for the team, The Bear Jew:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39769bearjew.PNG)

Using Paper Cut 3's chassis, it has 3mm plastic, and NPCF drive. It also has 3 ants, 2 medium Pumas, 2 large BBs, 2 medium BBs and 2 small BBs on a Storm Burst, with 4 Overkill blades and 3 bear claws (just for the name, but they do have its advantages). After seeing Nary's Blade Barrier, I wanted to make my own anti-gutripper variant. The wedge is really great, but if a double-wedged opponent struggles enough one of its wedges might get under, though it's not much of a biggie since the piston pushes it away. I might do some weapon tweaking especially on the piston, but it'll do for now. :D

Post by: Naryar on November 04, 2009, 05:29:46 AM
Blade Barrier is still better :P

Duh. I had to sacrifice full invertibility for the trapper. XD

I know the claws have normals, but I wanted something that relates to the name. XD
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 04, 2009, 06:38:19 AM
Well you should have used something else than Overkill blades then !

And you're wasting weight on the spinner panel as well rather than using it for weapons... and not fully invertible = BAD.

I'm not saying it's a bad bot though, i just think it could be better :P
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on November 04, 2009, 06:51:33 AM
By not fully invertible I meant 'Cadet-scooting-around-while-inverted'. But yeah, I'm currently struggling to make a vertical trapper while making it fully invertible. I'll probably swap the 4 Overkills to beater bar arms or something like that. And the shell plate is attached to the piston. :D

A tweaked the skirt hinge and it's fully invertible now! XD

Anyway, TBJ is still not performing to my standards, and I'm having a hard time rebuilding it. So here's the updated Paper Cut 4!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17267papercut4.PNG)

Nothing inside was changed, but I downgraded the armor to 3mm plastic, and now has small wedges and tite skirts. It can cream almost all of the NAR AI MWs and most of the HWs.

Now to built the last bot for the 2nd team... x_x

Here's my latest attempt at upgrading The Bear Jew:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/58386bearjew2.PNG)

Same internal stats, but with medium VDMA instead of a Storm piston. I ditched the vertical trapper and now has 2 Cleppy tails and 2 30kg sledges. But this time, it either owns madly or throughly gets owned. As you can see from some of the battleshots above, its top is quite open to attack. And if any wedge flanks from the side, it's doomed but only a number of MWs can outwedge TBJ2 head-to-head.

It's good to see that small wedges are being used again in DSL. XD

[Edit] Oh yeah, Nary. You still haven't given me input from my updated team. :D
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

T-t-triple post!

Here's a prototype a was working on a few weeks ago and eventually became the final bot for my 2nd team. This is The Inglourious Basterd:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2689inglouriousbasterd.PNG)

5mm tite, 5 ants + 1 battlepack, NPCFs (duh), 2 Perm 80s (one S and one L), 8 medium and large BBs. I know it's kinda underpowered, but the snappers are rarely used since they are just for self-righting (it can do it most of the time, but I couldn't work out the little kinks). Wedges aren't really exceptionally challenging, but as you can see it can still go under HnM from time to time. >=)

Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on November 09, 2009, 08:07:43 AM
Yeah, I was merely playing around in the first place, but it eventually became a juggler when my initial draft was a drum. XD

Also, the juggler master doesn't have jugglers in his AI pack! :O
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 09, 2009, 08:34:31 AM
It looks pretty good, but these ramplates are worthless (especially because of low HP) and IMO high-DP piercing weapons are necessary on a good gut-ripper...

Also battlepacks = useless on a spinner, just use ants.

Quote from: Pwnator;78025

Hazcon, Rubidium & Night Terror ?

Edit: True that's not a lot, and there will be 2 more from me in V2, maybe a few more from builders as well.

And I used BBs since InfCon used them. But yeah, I'll get work on a slightly bigger chassis and add some ants. But for now, what do you guys suggest for side armor while making the srimech realistic?
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

Rebuilt the whole thing, here's it's rebuild:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38571inglouriousbasterd3.PNG)

Downgraded armor to 5mm plastic, but now has 8 ants, 4 medium BBs, 2 large BBs, 2 razors, 8 light DS teeth, and 2 static spike strips. Better wedges, but I still ran into the same problem as before. It needs to have its drive wired to go in reverse for its srimech. But whenever it lands on the ground, the bot still goes in reverse and even gets counted out when it's pushing itself against the wall. Any suggestions on how to solve this? D:
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 14, 2009, 08:53:43 AM
Pfff... I bet it outwedges 90% of the NAR AI HWs.

EDIT: BountyHunter.py ?
Title: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on November 15, 2009, 05:31:51 AM
90% might be a bit too high. Maybe 80% since I suck at DSL snapper wedges. :P

And yesh, BountyHunter.py works nicely on this bot. And now I need to build bots that can send this OOTA since it gets under Second Sentinel 95% of the time. :P

Eherm. Anyway, I managed to remove half of the ants from The Jew Hunter and now it has a faster and stronger drive, and stronger side protection.

The Inglourious Basterd's also upgraded, with SirK drills for side armor, and is submitted to TG for his tourney. >=D

A rebuild for Nation's Pride (a.k.a. Hard Hat) is up next, just a few more tweaks and the splash will be up soon. :D

Oops. I forgot. Those are normal NPCs, so they have 3x the HP. :D

But TJH's driving became a bit unreliable once I attached the casters, so the above version will do.

And now, here's the rebuild for Nation's Pride! :D

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10750nationspride.png)

This is no doubt my best BW, with 2 ants, 3 SirK drills (middle one is BFE'd but it's still realistic), and 2 light DS teeth. Armor is 5mm plastic, I think. This bad boy almost de-shelled Bane II (yes, the LW), but the time ran out. XD

@ Nary - So far, none of your HWs can rip off the Perm. But Big Metal Friend once made it smoke (got KO'd five seconds later :P). But I'll think of a way to protect it when I have the time. :D

@ Ouncey - I haven't built anything new for the past 2 months. All of my bots are rebuilds. I have a creative bot in the works, but it kinda sucks. So you're not alone. :P


@ JB - TIB has a nasty trait of not letting go of its opponents, and those in the battleshots are SHWs. But anything can still happen, so yeah. XD

(middle one is BFE'd but it's still realistic)

I can't say I agree with this practice.  That's opening a can of worms right there.

"The Dual Perm passing through the chassis is BFE'd, but it's still realistic."

If I just ignore the BFEing, though, that bot looks great.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on December 12, 2009, 10:34:54 PM
Ah, good point.

The original version didn't use BFE, but the meshes of the drills were rotated unevenly so the driving became wonky. I figured that if I can stack them this way, I'd just BFE them since it's just fixing my attachment rotations. :D
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on December 17, 2009, 08:17:39 AM
Here's what I submitted to Joe for the Epic Showdown. I also posted the bot file in the thread, but here's 3nigm4:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/353533nigm4.PNG)

Basically The Inglourious Basterd with weaker front armor and an extra skirt wedge in the middle just in case it loses both while self-righting.

And Nary's not the only one building full-body popups:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33280Obso1337.PNG)

It was supposedly built to be a full-body flipper (much like Atmos), but it's too slow to fling it away. 12 ants, NPC drive, 30kg sledge ballast, 16 heavy DS teeth, and the one in the splash has 3mm aluminum. I forgot about that so now it has 3mm plastic and doubled the length of the aluminum sheets on the top. :D

And finally, a bot I just whipped up 5 minutes ago:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/862862.8.PNG)

Some of you might know ACAMS' 2.4, which was impossible to put any battery inside without BFE. I made it larger and gave it 1mm tite, so its name is 2.8. I made this just to see if it works, and it did decently. But its setup can't be made effective at a LW level. Too bad. XD
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: JoeBlo on December 17, 2009, 08:34:49 AM
the last one, good job using that size of that chassis. the extender and sheet look like that would provide more use on the other side though

the FBPu is very cleaver with what looks like the top overhanging sheets allow the enemy to push the chassis backward increasing the power of the pop up

I was gonna enter Obso1337 into S32's tourney, but I got too lazy and ran out of time to make the splash. And actually, the top trapper's supposed to be a self-righting sheet. Now I just realized it can trap well, too. XD

As for the LW, I'll test it with Apanx's FBS.py too see if it can fare well. Also, it doesn't need a stabilizer on the other side. What it needs is at least 200cm of stabilizer otherwise the power of the drive would make the whole bot lean to the wheel's side, making the hammer fly up and the drive vulnerable.

I might include it in the next NAR AI if it performs decently. :D

Hey, I'm not the only one. There's Scrappy, Reier, and more. XD

Anyway, I've been tinkering with numerous VS designs for CC3, and this is the one I'll probably be entering:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45682antimatter.PNG)

This is Antimatter, the 3rd bot in the Matter series. 3mm plastic, 3 ants, NPCFs, 6 Heavy DS teeth and 2 irons on a Perm 80, plus 2 small beater bars on a 20x80 DSL bar for frontal protection. I've decided to go for a gut-ripper instead of a hard-hitter since the walls are lower now (and it's tough to build a hard-hitter in the MW class anyway). But I'm totally relying on the wedge this time since it can't self-right (but it can scoot inverted). And its motor is still quite exposed even with the irons as active guards. Oh well, I still like the way it looks. XD

My bot will beat that. Just saying, this is the kind of thing it's designed for.

Post by: Pwnator on December 23, 2009, 01:03:24 AM
Sage is right, unless Antimatter can make his VS lose momentum (which is tough since I cloned his setup and it's pretty challenging to beat, kinda like trying to beat Mome Rath with a gut-ripper). Anyway, I just swapped the weapons to 2 Hammer1s and it was more powerful, but the Perm became too exposed and can easily get torn away by inverted bots. I'll probably fiddle around with the weapon setup later.

Post by: R0B0SH4RK on December 23, 2009, 02:25:26 AM
I made a VS called Antimatter for Ian's All Around Bot Builder Championship back on the old forums >.>

Looks good though. I'm liking the increased use of hex plates lately.

Post by: Pwnator on December 24, 2009, 10:58:41 AM
Built this one just for the lulz. XD

It's called Blacksmith. Guess what it can do! :P

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/34674blacksmith.PNG)

5mm tite, NPCFs, 4 large Odysseys, 2 large tanks, Hammer4 on a Spring-loaded Beta, and 4 flamers (plus a Tornado spike that doesn't really do much). Yeah, its rear kinda looked like Guard Duty, but that was unintentional. I was testing if flamers on skirt hinges would have an increased range, but it didn't. But it does have an advantage - epic ninja battles with Guard Duty. XD

Yeah, I turned that into a piston hammer now, with 4 large tanks and 2 30kg sledges on a long VDMA. Works better now, but piston's too brittle for me. Oh well, it's just for the lulz. :P

Anyway, I just built 5 bots today (woohoo personal records XD) along with the new Antimatter for my new all-VS team for NAR AI. Here are the Launch Vehicles:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73938kep.PNG)

Bot0, Kinetic Energy Penetrator. 3mm tite, 3 ants, two small and two large BBs powered by a Mag. You'll be seeing this baby somewhere else, too. XD


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46944massdriver.PNG)

Bot1, Mass Driver. 1mm tite, 4 ants, NPCs, 2 30kg sledges powered by a 4-Mag. Not really serious on this bot, I just want to put a Tornado Mer gearbox on it just for the heck of it. Performs decently, so it's in. XD


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68380accelerator.PNG)

Bot2, Particle Accelerator. 3mm plastic (along with a full hex plate belly armor), 6 ants, NPCs, 4 Hammer2s powered by 2 Perm132s, with 2 Vlad spikes at the end of the stabilizers. I also built this for the lulz, but its performance surprised me (IT TOOK OUT THAT CHEATBOT! FINALLY! =D). But it still couldn't take out even a single plow from FnF. >:E


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50561ionthruster.PNG)

Bot3, Ion Thruster. 3mm plastic, 3 ants, and shares the same weapon system with KEP. Outwedges a lot of MWs, can self-right as well. I love this bot. :D


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94915antimatter3.PNG)

Bot4, Antimatter. As you can see it has a different weapon system. All I can say is that it's definitely deadlier now. >=D


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78287darkmatter2.PNG)

Bot5, Dark Matter 2. 5mm tite, NPCFs, 4 60kg sledges powered by 2 6-Mags. I suck at building SHWs, and this one's no exception. Oh well. Gets the job done. XD

Anyway, I've been trying to refine this for weeks, but just couldn't get the wedges to work correctly:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8030catatonicoverload.PNG)

Catatonic Overload, NPCFs on the baseplate, NPCs outside. 12 razors, 12 (or 14) ants, Plastic 5. I wanted to make a impractically fast popup, just like Sage's poopup, but it even has a hard time getting under the garage cabinet. x_x

Metal hinges, as usual. XD
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on February 06, 2010, 10:51:22 AM
WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD  :mad:

But just make it 2WD with E-tek drive. 2WD drives make it easier to distribute weight towards the wedges (unless the 4WDs are aligned sideways like PitA 8).

just like Sage's poopup

What ?

Well, I don't have any new bots to showcase, so here's a relatively old one:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/88173darkmatter4.PNG)

If you got my team update from the NAR AI thread, then you probably have seen this already. DM4. 7 ants, 3mm tite, and a whole lot of flat sheets for stability and protection. It's nowhere as deadly as the other SHWs in the pack, but it surely does its job nicely in an open arena. :D

Plastic 3, 4 ants and you can see the rest. Yes, those are mini wheels you are looking at, but that doesn't really matter since it has Slim drive and I needed wheels of that size for them to touch the ground.

Hmmm... I should stick to DSL for a while. XD

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: The Ounce on March 07, 2010, 06:34:00 AM
I just created my own version of Catalyst, and yes, Stiletto 6 owns it 100% of the time (but not without taking a few hits to the chassis), although weapon position and direction might have something to do with it.

Running out of ideas at the moment, so here are some clones:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54586ergosphere.PNG)

Ergosphere: 5mm tite, NPCFs, 6 Hammer1s. Possibly the most hard-hitting HW HS as of now (I did have a version with 6 Hammer3s, but the stabilizers are too brittle).


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49622singularity.PNG)

Singularity: 1mm tite, NPCs, 2 Hammer2s. That's about it.


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/65492abnegatingcecity.PNG)

Abnegating Cecity: 3mm plastic, Perm 132, 2 Hammer1s. Yeah.

Dunno if this is better than the Launch Vehicles, but I built these just for teh lulz.

Personally I think having a wedge on this is pointless.  Not only is that wedge too short but the force from the weapon motor will ruin it.  Just get a static front stabilizer.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

So yeah, nothing spectacular. 5mm tite, NPCF drive, and the rest you can see. Supposedly, there weren't any burst wedges, but those metal hinges kept on AGODing there was just no way to make it wedgy. A bit wedgier than Inglourious Basterd, although that low damage potential makes it just a so-so popup.

I have like one bot that can get under Hot Wheels, and it can't do it consistently. Seism 13 in dual wedge mode can do it occasionally and SpiTe 2 has did it a couple times in my game, but other than that nope.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2888infection4.PNG)

So yeah. The bot you've secretly hated, Infection 4. Still 3mm plastic and still NPC drive. Probably just as wedgy as Nary's popup, though it can beat KEP (don't worry, it still can't beat Ejector Jr.). :P

If you're wonder why it jumped a version, Infection 3 is basically DiSemboweLment with an external mag drive.

Ejector Jr. 3 and Meteor Mash 2. I think both have Tite 1 and you can see the rest.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67173randombots.PNG)

Flux Capacitor 2 and Compressor (which is essentially a MW version of Diffuser and Nary's Sapiens). Forgot the armor and I think both have NPC drive.

That won't work on the BW, it works from time to time on the LW and much more consistently on the MW and HW. Speaking of which:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96195undercutters.PNG)

The LW has 3mm plastic, the MW 5mm tite, and the HW 5mm plastic. The LW has 3 ants, the MW has regular NPCs, a Perm 132 and 4 ants. The HW also has regular NPCs with a Dreadnought disc for chassis protection.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: The Ounce on May 20, 2010, 09:48:22 PM
Cool.  I like the way that you used the Dreadnought disk, but is that still realistic, and why so much chassis armor on the MW?
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 20, 2010, 09:52:51 PM
I have no idea where to spend the rest of the weight on the MW, and as for the HW:

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 21, 2010, 01:06:48 AM
MW's the worst against wedges, followed by the BW. As long as no one touches the drive of the LW and the HW, they're quite deadly against wedges.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 21, 2010, 05:15:37 AM

Nothing much from my R.I.P. 2 entry. 5mm tite, 20 razors, 12 ants (technically underpowered, but it doesn't have to fire the weapons all the time), 6WD NPCFs. Not as wedgy as you think, but it's still a nasty flanker, like most of my popups are.

Post by: Pwnator on May 23, 2010, 05:00:09 AM
I haven't seen Barbed Scourge. I just made a bigger version of Excalibur.

And Technos make the drive much more exposed and I want to have a popup as low as I can possibly build.

And it doesn't outwedge BW half of the time. But flanking made it a killer.

1mm plastic, protected by a medium disc on top and bottom. And yes, that's a 13k+ hit.

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 24, 2010, 12:02:34 AM
Because it only has 6 60kg sledges, it won't stand a chance against heavily weaponed bots (like Holy Cow and Neptune). But it's still nasty enough to deal 5k+ hits consistently.

And the battlepack setup's lighter than 12 ants and it still produces 122 amps, just enough for the wheels to glitch out. :D

Wow.  Great bot.


I don't know much about DSL SnS's, since I've never built one aside from the original StingRay and 360 Arc Pounder,  but could you get away with using Vlad wheels instead of Technos?  A lot of SHW SnS's use 4WD E-teks with Technos, so 6WD with Vlads might pan out.  This would let you attach spiked clubs or beater bars on the axles, and attach the hammers to those, which would increase both reach and weapon weight.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 24, 2010, 01:04:04 AM

PREDICTIONS TIME!
Acornia 3 - A pretty decent bot that still should have been faster :P

You just try and fit twm3r's into there and stay in the weight limit, whilst still having the same effectiveness of the bot.

It's practically impossible.

If you think it's impossible, then kid, you ain't trying hard enough.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54011ballistite.PNG)

Same armor, same tank, same wedge, but more weapons and a better drive than Acornia 2.

TIME FOR FLAILZ!

For the first bot, here's Contagion:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4661contagion.PNG)

3mm plastic, astros, and you can see the rest. Yeah, it sucks.


And here's Mushroom Cloud, a SnS/FSS hybrid:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72257mushroomcloud.PNG)

1mm tite, and you can also see the rest. Basically Resentful Princess with a stronger motor. Would've been awesome, but it glitches from time to time.

And here's a bigger version, Pileus:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4014pileus.PNG)

3mm plastic, NPCFs, and the rest you can see. I had to use a large disc because the shell is too small for it to be realistic. And it performs decently, so I'm happy with it. :D

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4014pileus.PNG)

Pretty neat. Easily the best, but needs a 100, 150, 200 or 250 dsl disc.

HINT: if the 100, 150, etc. disc doesn't fit, put a DSL disc on before, and then it fits.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 27, 2010, 05:59:20 AM
150cm discs are useless on anything lighter than HWs. And 200cm discs are useless on anything lighter than SHWs.

And I don't get what you're implying with your hint. That's exactly what I did. The smallest shell disc doesn't fit, which is why I used the large disc.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

He means putting a small DSL disc on the motor first, then addng a larger black disk, and wasting weight by the process.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 27, 2010, 11:47:35 PM
moar bawhtz!

Tried making a SHW undercutter, so here's what I came up with. This is Reichsmarschall:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47141reichsmarschall.PNG)

5mm steel, and the rest you can see. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it good against gut-rippers anymore since there are too many weapons and defenses to break in the SHW class.

And here's the HW version of Mushroom Cloud and Pileus. Here's Pyrocumulus:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43464pyrocumulus.PNG)

5mm plastic, and NPCF drive. For some reason the drive doesn't really move much when it's trying to SnS. Which means the Dual Perm's still doing all the work. Oh well, since I used flailz, it's deadly enough for me. XD

3mm tite, NPCFs, 6 ants, one Perm 80S and one Perm 80L, 8 medium BBs and light DS teeth, 4 large BBs, 10 razors, 2 BSGs for srimech.

Sadly, this is just becoming more of a novelty bot rather than a fighter because the wedges are worth crap. I'll probably just use a Beta and use 2 metal hinges instead (I hope it won't look too much like SD's bot).

So yeah, this was supposed to be my BOTM entry. 3mm tite, NPCFs, large Puma, 12 razors on the longest VDMA piston.

Would've been very deadly, but AGOD plagued the right wedge. And it's so powerful when the razors hit the opponent, the wedges glitch into the floor! And if you're wondering why I didn't use Hypnos, the plow interferes with the ground clearance so I had to use a slightly larger set of wheels.

If SkinHead had Mag drive with minis, then a MW version should probably have copals with large ants. And it should have light plows on each side. While still having lots of razors. D:

Well it's awesome against rammers and shell if done right, can fair well against popups and gut rippers if it has a good wedge, but SnS and VS own the design.

I need to buld a HW version.

I have no idea how many bots I've showcased today. o_O

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89147pyronimbocumulus.PNG)

5mm plastic. If you're wondering why it only has 12 razors, that's because those are 12 razors (and 3 irons) powered by a Dual Perm and 4 NPCFs with Hypnos. And at that speed, those razors can take out both heavy plows from FnF. :D

Yeah, they slow the bot down a lot when they hit the ground, and with all the gyroscopic forces the robot isn't going to flip over, it's just going to bunny hop up a bit and stay on its side where it is, but spinning slower.

True, but if it has nothing on top it can lie flat on its back, rendering it incredibly vulnerable.

Post by: Pwnator on May 30, 2010, 10:36:06 PM
C33's analysis is mostly correct, but he forgot one important phase - the part where the bot gets lifted up. When one of the angled sheets hit the ground, it uses the kinetic energy from the bot getting flipped to self-right it. :P

DP!

So I tried to rebuild The Inglourious Basterd, and I turned it into a hybrid:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74927imperium.PNG)

5mm tite, 4 razors, medium and large BBs and 8 light DS teeth on 2 Perm 80 S's, 3 SK drills on a small JX. I'll have to rebuild it again since its srimech it too slow for my taste. x_x
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on May 31, 2010, 04:09:11 AM
SK drills aren't too good for popups since they deal fairly low damage

But hooray for innovation !  :bigsmile:

Say hecko to InfCon 8 Imperium II:


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84159imperium2.PNG)


Same juggler weapons as the predecessor, but has 3 spike strips on a large JX instead. 12 ants, NPCF drive. This time, it self-rights faster and can score better.


BUT THE WEDGES SUCK >:E

Out of ideas, so I'm rebuilding some of the NAR AI bawhts.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59267saberteeth2.PNG)

SaberTeeth 2. Tite 3, 6 ants, and the rest you can see. Wedgier than the predecessor, so it's fine enough for me.


(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97362vses.PNG)

Erectus 2 and Ripblade III. Plastic 3, and 12 medium BBs on RB3. yay.


And this isn't exactly a rebuild, but I was aiming for this to be Hammerhead Shark 2:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/85690hammerheadshark2.PNG)

Sadly, it only has one ant and plastic 1. And I barely had any weight to actually pull this off. It weighs 248.9kg dead on.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: The Ounce on June 14, 2010, 02:40:42 AM
Saberteeth looks nice, but is using 3mm titanium wise?  I would switch to 5mm plastic and see if you can use razors.

and sorry, but I've already taken Erectus:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37244screenshot_122.png)
It was essentially supposed to be an Erectus-clone, but at the same time a suggestion on how to improve the design.

Post by: Pwnator on June 14, 2010, 04:15:01 AM
Reach is one of the issues with SaberTeeth, so I had to use irons. A previous version with razors barely beat Cadet.

As for Erectus, I just like VSes with a longer stance. I've always hated to see Erectus and Ripblade II flop around when they should be self-righting. :P

Anyway, this might be a more acceptable replacement for Hammerhead Shark.

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on June 18, 2010, 09:45:42 AM
20cms are angled slightly downward to get the Perms closer to the ground so it fares better against low popups.

And the way it flops around is much more controlled when you upset its balance, so it likes VSes more than your version. XD

beater bars like this

hahahahaha

With its 4WD NPCFs, the beater bars don't hinder the scooping action. They act more as defense against shell.

And of course it fairs better than the original in battle. But it's still worthless when inverted. I thought the piston's powerful enough to make it scoot around. o_O

I would say take the back stabilizers and make them plastic, make the front wedges aluminum, and remove the top beater bars on the wedge plates. Take that weight and see what you can do with it. If you really need to, I would say switch the beater bars on the weapon bar (some or all) and switch them to normal extenders.
Use the weight either for some kind of static srimech, one attached to the piston, or in the worst case scenario, just a dedicated srimech.

Rebuilt some unshowcased Nightmare clone I had a while back:

3mm tite, regular NPCs, and a tite sheet with some alu sheets under for armor. Still as worthless as the old Mikado (well, not really. But you get the point :P). Mostly rebuilt for looks, but it's still a threat against most wedges.

Alu sheets AGOD asymmetrically, so DSL discs will probably do.

Tried improving the drive on Explosive Stinger, at the cost of some DP (and probably armor. This one has 3mm plastic. Dunno the armor on the original). VERY deadly, as well as VERY havok-y. Is it possible to increase the Storm's reliability without reducing its power?

I think Pwn is aware of the unrealistic-ness...

Anyways, it seems stockish DSL HS doesn't work. When i was starting DSL, i built a HW tribar HS with 9 irons on a stock setup and it didn't worked at all compared to 90kg of hammers.

Dear sir, having razors intersecting is something else than putting 3 razors at exactly the same place and rotation like you Stockies do.

On a vocabulary note, we should differ between stacking (having 2 components at the same exact place) and overlapping (having 2 components to intersect) anyways.

What about Iron Spikes stacked/overlapped half way into each other?  Or razors taking up the entire width of the upper wedge?
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: SKBT on July 06, 2010, 06:03:42 PM
I still don't fully understand the realistic rules but iron spikes overlapping like on Joeblo's T-Road could be realistic. It could be treated as a single weapon assembly or one components. Static spikes sticking through a wedge should be fine  because they could be part of a wedge. The bots I have a problem with are generally popups. I just don't understand how you can have a bar the width of a bot retract into it and come out and the bot retain any structural integrity.

I still don't fully understand the realistic rules but iron spikes overlapping like on Joeblo's T-Road could be realistic.

that was really to look cool ... but essentially IRL you would cut one row of spikes in half and weld them to the other row. thinking stuff like that is considered realistic in some conditions as IRL you are not confined to set single parts, you can cut and modify them
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on July 07, 2010, 03:00:20 AM
T-Road would only be unrealistic if it exploits the flexibility of the skirt hinges.

And tried making a DSL version of SCv3 Intruder Alert and it sorta failed. D:

But I also made a DSL Repulsor and it's actually quite decent. The pic will come when I get to use the laptop. XD

which it does but...

1. could be done IRL with some cutting

2. I cant help that a part is bouncy

3. more realistic then using hinges for Armour :P

basically after the only thing realism in DSL nowadays is no stacking... but even partial stacking is being more and more accepted

Here it is!

3mm plastic, NPCFs and only 4 ants, but unfortunately not fast enough. Still quite tough to kill, though.


And another one!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17204disintegrator.PNG)

I think this design has been done before. Couldn't recall. 1mm tite, regular NPCs, 4 ants, Perm 80 Ls. Also quite hard to kill, and it's much more effective against wedges than Repulsor.

You need to get the wheels farther out to get the turning circle to spin faster, but in doing so, you can try to angle the wheel up just a little bit, like from this | to this / (not that much but you get the picture). Did that one or two clicks on SnSnS 5 and it made it more stable, it spun fast enough to have the wheels and axles glitch out of the motors, and it gave it invertibility.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on July 08, 2010, 08:51:53 AM
Probably true... but if his bot gets inverted, he'll be slower then :P

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 08, 2010, 09:11:46 AM
In the case of SnSnS 5 though (idk if Pwns is invertible), its better to spin slow inverted then to not spin at all.

If they are realistic, it just brings a new dimension to DSL building.

@Badnik: SnSnS 5 (now 6, just rebuilt it) is the new versions of the MW one in CC3. SnSnSnSnS (5 Ss) is only in its 2nd revision. Thats the HW. There is also Super Sns (in its 2nd revision), and King SnS (1st revision, but 2nd time I tried a UHW SnS/HS Hybrid)

Well, Snsns Junior just doesn't seem like a feasible design, there's no way youre getting enough weapons on that for it to work. The other bot though, get something shorter on it than irons and it could be pretty good.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: R0B0SH4RK on July 08, 2010, 02:43:52 PM

Actually, my main aim for the DSL Repulsor was to have NPC+Technos. But from that chassis, I would never get it to be under the weight limit. I'll try an external setup with a smaller chassis and see if it works.

As for the HS, Perms are recommended for this design since it tends to have steering problems without the irons on the opposite ends of the axles.

Trying to redefine 'tank':

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19304redneck2.png)

5mm tite, NPCs. Tried doing a Redneck rebuild, but the drive is only as fast as the original. Converting the drive to Hypnos would mean reducing the weapon weight equal to the original while being able to boost up the armor to 5mm steel. Either way I'm quite happy with it. :D


AND PRESENTING THE SMALLEST PRACTICAL CHASSIS ON A HW!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/24993tank.png)

I think it's chassis size is 1.5x1 units big (or small), 5mm steel and the rest you can see. I tried getting 8 Hammer4s while having Techno E-Tek drive, but I couldn't do it. I was overweight by 12kg or something.

5mm plastic, all NPCFs, 24 light DS teeth on 2 Perm 80 Ms. Just a prototype bot, since I deliberately positioned the drive like that so the strafer can actually do something. And I wanted the strafer to look like a rocket booster so yay. XD

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on July 20, 2010, 04:00:42 AM
I'd just say it's a wedged drum. Adding a strafer does not make it different from other drums just because it strafes. A wedged drum is supposed to gut-rip opponents using a small-radius weapon rack and that's exactly what it does. :P
 
From your idea, it's just like saying Arrowhead is a wedge-evading HS since it has a special .py that lets it do such things. :P

6WD is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAST

And I had to use Taz wheels so the bot won't face too much upwards (and 4k+ HP wheels are pretty nice for a non-wedged bot).

As of moments earlier, the biggest HW that can be built within the max_sphere was Click's Phasmatodean. Now it isn't. :P

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94829galactusmako.png)

Introducing Galactus. 1mm plastic, NPCs, 4 ants. Instead of fitting the whole bar within the boundaries, I only made sure the middle bar was within the limits, so instead of just having a 4.4-meter bar, this bar is 6 full meters long!

But yeah, since this is just a bot for show, it sucks. 10k+ hits are still awesome, though. :P

It's unrealistic as well. :P

Aaanyway, you can already visualize the chassis + Dual Perm, alright? If I attach a 2m bar, it still fits inside the max_sphere. If my bar is aligned horizontally, I can't attach the other 2m bars on its ends, but if I orient it vertically, I can attach a 2m bar on the lower point of the bar, but not on the higher end of the bar (since it exceeds the boundaries). I just attach, rotate, attach. :P

*speechless*


Fight Sir Killalot in the Infinity Arena with it!


Also, I can't help noticing that the bar is bigger than Phasmatodean's while the stabilizers are the same size.  Must be pretty unstable, right?


And this design can be "realistic" if you add another extender going up on the other side of the motor, and pretend the two halves of the bot are connected at the axle.  (Though you would need something like a 1 foot diameter axle IRL in order to take the stress.)

Too lazy to import Galactus to my original DSL, so here's a battleshot of the realistic version versus a small HW. XD

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2661galactustio.PNG)
Actually, it's quite stable even after that huge impact. As long as the Dual Perm isn't at full speed and still has enough torque to knock bots away, it can self-right.


Aaaaaaaaaaaannd A NEW BOT!

It's about time I make a DSL version of Stengah. :P

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/30026solidarius.PNG)

Solidarius! NPCFs, 5mm plastic, 2 Perm 80 Ms and BSGs, 8 ants, 24 light DS teeth and 6 spike strips. I was planning it to be a VS/popup/wammer hybrid, but my metal hinges hate me, so 4 static razors will have to do. XD

Post by: Pwnator on August 13, 2010, 05:49:55 AM

With 0.4kgs left, I can't make this realistic. And its stabilizers are too short for it to be stable (when it inches forward, the whole bot suddenly tops forward and gyros). >.<

It was meant to be a DSL version of Stengah, so yeah. 3 spike strips per BSG. Only the razors are static. When midterm season's over, I'll try to remove as much empty space as I can to upgrade the rack.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/162072 Bad.PNG)

Tried cloning 2 Sinister, but tribars were too long for this design. So here's 2 Bad. 3mm plastic, NPCFs, Perm 132 Ss, small BBs and light DS teeth.

Great at wearing down stuff, but tends to perform body slams (the fulcrum tends to be the opponent). Despite its invertibility, it still doesn't perform as good as I want it to be.

Oh well. Expect a more awesome hybrid soon. :D

AND THE MORE AWESOME HYBRID HAS JUST ARRIVED! :D

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83748equinox.PNG)

If you've noticed, I've named it as such due to its type similarities with its stock counterpart (see Solstice in Sage's showcase (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php/topic,755.msg186200.html#msg186200)). :P


5mm plastic, 8 ants, NPCFs, 2 large BBs and 16 small BBs on 2 Perm 80 Ss, 6 razors on 2 BSGs, and 3 static BBs, 8 irons and a spike strip. It's pretty good, but I still have to find a way to protect the axles of the Perms and at the same time let bots slide up easier. And self-righting is cumbersome (it has to ram itself towards a wall and fire the razors against the wall when the bot's vertical, something like that of the Metal Mutts).


AND AGOD IS STILL PLAGUING THE BOT. At least the AGOD is minimal and symmetrical, BUT STILL.

Actually, it's more of Century Storm meets Cold Front 2. :D

Spikes are on skirt hinges (which is why I was able to angle them like a wedge), and the spinners are for ripping off wedges and tires.

As for its performance, it's somewhere near that of Hydrosphere.

5mm plastic, regular NPCs, 60kg sledges on 2 Perm 132s. Angled skirts totally help in preventing gyro dancing, they also make the bot get stuck in certain places in the arena. Not entering to win though. I just want to kick ass. :P

Too lazy to build more bots, so here's a relatively old one:

My entry for NAR Wars. It was a rush job, so I forgot the armor (3mm plastic I think). And I just realized this looks like SD's T-Wrex-ish bot, but its strategy is different - SnS, then it switches to Shove when the bar is gone.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52756dpdsl.PNG)

So yeah, it has 5mm plastic and Mag drive. But I had to BFE the Mag on because any other motor is either too weak or has an odd shape (hopefully, if nobody uses the piglet, maybe I can use that and have it use a Mag's stats instead).

I'm trying to build that one to avoid the whole wedge thing, but since I'm using a sloped crescent, I have no idea where the coordinates are so I can BFE them closer to the rear. >.<

Good luck with that, the latest Dark Pounder would be really tough (almost impossible) to replicate without custom components.

Geeky Spawn! 5mm tite, 6 ants, NPC regulars, 6 ants, and the rest you can see. Too bad I had to ditch the burst wedges (BSGs' meshes are annoying hahahaha), but apart from that, I'm quite happy with this bot. :D

The DSL Spikefan better still have the... er... spike fan, for lack of a better term, in the back.  Because that was what made the bot IMO.  Decorative spikes like that aren't used enough (probably because they're so heavy).
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on October 13, 2010, 11:36:19 PM
I thought about that, but I couldn't find a way to attach those since the weapons interfere with everything I try to attach on the back. So I went for the side stabilizers instead. >.<

I should probably dedicate a NAR AI team to downsizing awesome designs, like this:

Subversion. 1mm tite, 3 ants, 13 razors on a medium VDMA on a small servo.

Unfortunately, it fails against flails and even sledge SnSes. And the piston's too powerful it takes several tries for it to successfully self-right.

BUT IT IS STILL ONE OF MY AWESOMEST KLONES

Yeah, I was kinda disappointed by Ronin's very exposed top, so I tried building my own side popup.

Post by: Naryar on November 01, 2010, 06:19:31 AM
Self-righting mechanism should be 1 of the bursts unless the razors on that burst break, then change it for the other burst.

Minor update to Mirror Matter (probably CC4 entry):

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49373mirrormatter2.PNG)

Instead of using slims and rear stabilizer work, I just use the Mags' shape to double as stabilizers as well. A tad wedgier, but I still have to find a more durable (damage is not my priority here) weapon setup.

I tried cramming SkinHead's design into one that's less than a third of the original weight, and this is what I came up with:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/53282seditionist.PNG)

1mm tite, astro drive, medium tank, 2 ants, 6 razors blah blah

This thing's more volatile than I expected. Mediocre first hit damage, and then it spazzes about because THE PISTON'S TOO POWERFUL. IT ACTUALLY USES TWO-THIRDS OF ITS AIR SUPPLY JUST TO SELF-RIGHT. And since the piston's on a servo, it's an occasional bumble ball as well.

But I still did it. :P

Oh yeah, forgot about the SnS hybrids. But even Gigawhirl and The Devil's Cherry requires extremely accurate driving for it to be deadly. The KE they pack just sweep bots off the wedge, making them susceptible to flanking. D:

I'm not. It does self-right using the BSG, but not in the way you would expect. The hammer just acts as a static srimech. In fact, firing the hammer prevents it from self-righting!

There's a good reason I made RfD a heavyweight in stock: it's really hard to fit all that stuff on a MW.  You might have better luck cloning the design in DSL in the same weight class.


That said, I am impressed that that MW is as effective as it is.  I would have never even attempted such a thing.  :mrgreen:

Should be uber slow and have like 500 kg of sledges.

Done!

Slow as heck, but it should hold up against any other rammer. One question, if you get a VS, what stops it from attacking the central extenders and taking ALL 664 KG OF WEAPONRY OFF AT ONCE?

Where's your brain, yo. I got 664kgs of weapon weight. I wouldn't get an even number with just one razor. :P

Since I didn't have a premade bot that can be used for Cuda's challenge, I quickly whipped up one:

Misery Signal - 3mm plastic, NPCs, 4 ants, and the rest you can see. Nothing special, but still pretty annoying to kill.

HOORAY FOR MOTOR OVERKILL!

So this is Titadine, basically my own take on an Insane Berserker-style HS. 1mm tite, 3 ants, Perm 132, the rest you can see. It can kill Scout in one hit and can take out Infection 4 without getting a single scratch on the chassis. And yes, it's deadlier when airborne. XD


[Edit] Hmmm. I could probably fit 2 SK drills in there.


[Edit2] Never mind. The reach sucked. XD

So the discs actually slowed it down. lulz. Now has 10mm steel.

It's still the slowest Stig, but the momentum it carries is tremendous. It nearly pushed the cabinets straight through the wall, but it glitched while the cabinets were halfway through, then sent the bot away, hitting the Shrederator shell, and sent the shell through the wall. XD

That's quite an odd 16WD Setup, in my view. How's it turn?

Should still be extremely difficult to actually kill. I like it.

Quite slow, but that's what the side hammers are for.

And the odd setup was supposed to give me space for 2 more motors, but I failed. :P

5mm plastic, 6 ants, NPCs. Thanks to 123, I was finally able to make a very speedy MW popup. Ridiculously flanky, gets under PC5 and stuff, but has a hard time staying on the ground when trying to avoid being flanked.

800kg, 1mm plastic, 2 Perm 80 Ls, the rest you can probably see. Not as good as its SHW counterpart at pwning popups, but it still gets the job done in time.

Looks excellent as always, Pwn. =) Would swapping the drive hexplates for flipper segments not let you put some better armour on if you needed to, or is it relatively durable as is? Unless there's something I've missed with flippers and hexplates.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on January 07, 2011, 09:51:55 AM
It pretty much gets KOed before getting half of its weapon system removed. I just wanted to do a triple-sledge setup but with stronger weapons - which in this case happens to be 15kg heavier.


And the bot's name is Hex Omega, so I stuck on to the hex plate setups for teh punneh. :P

Also, lolbot coming up!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73359wheelofmisfortune.PNG)

Couldn't recall who built the original bot (also some freakishly powerful angled HS), but this thing's BEASTLY. Almost scored a legit KO against HnM4 and Broadsword, but usually gets one of the wheels torn off and has to resort to spikeball mode to get those last hits. Awesome self-righting process as well.

Vertical symmetry. 40cms were too long and the largest drum was too much a waste of weight. The lightest thing I could find was the 2nd shortest ME, which just so happens to be approximately the exact length needed for a spacer.

Making it a juggler won't make it a good stove, though adding in knobs would make it more convincing (they're just hidden decals ATM). :P

And I REALLY don't want to make it effective. That would be cheating. :P

Oh, and the setup's pretty simple - 3 omni-extenders with the beatery disc setup on top and 4 flamers on the other APs.

I tried looking for a glitch to make it a MW (like my old stock axle HS, which I could never seem to replicate), but no dice.

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Thyrus on May 13, 2011, 11:06:48 PM
then the only things that would work are: removing one ant (please don`t hurt me for that Nary  :frown: ) or changing the armor. both arn`t that good suggestions but you put the lightest thing on that thing as possible.

another thing would be changing the discs
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase

You could swap the poly extenders for CF ones. That's about the only reasonable solution I can come up with.

Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 14, 2011, 07:59:43 AM
It's already at plastic 1. D:

Post by: 123savethewhales on May 16, 2011, 01:18:07 AM
So just wondering, is it any good in the MW division?  My LW version only works because the chassis is elevated so the motor blocks most the hits.  With the chassis where it is now, it seem to have little chance against popups/gutrippers.

Try using 4 large sawblade instead.  That should give you plenty of KG to strengthen the stabilizer and add external armor to the chassis.

Tried turning Click's Anathema 3 into a LW, didn't turn out so well:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92195panacea.PNG)


3 ants, copals, Perm 80.

Utterly worthless against gut-rippers. Infection 4 even managed to take out the disc without forcing it to troll dance, which means it got KOed without laying a scratch on I4's chassis. D:

I should probably downgrade the disc for astro drive, because that's what it desperately needs.
Title: Re: Pwnator's DSL Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on May 22, 2011, 09:24:38 PM
Heh, I just thought about downsizing Anathema 3 a couple minutes ago.  Now I know what not to do, at least.


If it doesn't "troll dance" (as I recall though, troll dancing is when drums or VS's balance on their weapon like a unicycle trying to self right, isn't it?)... anyway, if it doesn't destabilize and the chassis start spinning, it needs a stronger weapon motor... dual Mag perhaps?  Couldn't easily go bigger than that.


The front skirts seem unnecessary (although they do look cool); you can probably get rid of them or at least downgrade them for extra weight.

1mm tite, 4-Mag, 2WD Astro + LAW, large DSL disc.

Too bad I couldn't stuff in a 6-Mag though (which was my original plan). It would've been more awesome even with less weapons. :P

Actually, the top screenies are before I noticed the intersections. I've already fixed it before I took the battleshot.

Marvelous, but of course you really don't need a 4-mag to power this (though it does help increase the awesomeness level).

Pretty much an annoying noisemaker full of spikes and stuff. Irons nip the wedges away while the teeth, you know, do whatever teeth do. PA flipper's for frontal protection. And yeah, everything's DSL realistic (will showcase an IRL-ish bot soon, though). 3mm plastic, 11 ants, NPCFs and stuff. Wedges are almost as good as HnM4's.
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: NFX on February 17, 2012, 08:32:46 AM
Schweet. Irons should do reasonably well with protecting those flipper segments, which I'm guessing is what the ME's are there for too. How does it do when it's overturned?
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on February 17, 2012, 08:35:20 AM
Irons can slightly rotate the bot back to its target when hit. And since they're on piglets, the drive can easily overcome the torque caused by the weapon motors.
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase

Pwn ? Back to building ? YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

The lower HS only look mildly useful to me. But looking awesome.

Also, what SM said. Turn these piglets via BFE so the spinners are angled roughly 30° from the ground and juggler opponents.

And that wedge extender work is...weird
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on February 17, 2012, 10:02:33 AM
Hmm... the irons don't cut through the hinges in the bot lab. Must be the wedge flex.

Oh, and the MEs are there because I had 7 kg left. Making the wedges longer would kinda ruin the look, so I just placed them there are sacrificial extenders.

Welcome to Pwn's fail IRL showcase 2012

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52857skyshark.PNG)

My very first attempt at using a Judge burst. And it's glitchy. But yeah, I guess that's to be expected when you chain stuff like that.

And that's also my first attempt at making a scoop/dustpan without custom parts. Sadly, they can't pick up anything, so I'll most likely ditch the angled sheets for something else.

So I fixed Sky Shark, and in turn made it slightly less original:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2862skyshark2a.PNG)

Wondering why there's a Typhoon tooth sticking out?

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56206skyshark2b.PNG)

My original plan was to make it a flipper+damaging clamp (hence sky+shark). But I ran out of weight on the first prototype so I turned the wedge into a scoop instead.

I have yet to check whether the VDMA holding the Judge burst is actually beneficial or just a waste of weight. Of course, I'll never know when the wedge is crap and bots don't go up the flipper. >.<
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: NFX on February 18, 2012, 09:26:09 AM
Looking beastly, though. I do like the flamp idea, the Judge Burst has a heck of a kick coming back down, maybe someone could make it work properly. I take it the Ripping Tooth on the top helps with self-righting, similar to the pair of them on Taur II.
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on February 18, 2012, 09:35:01 AM
Nah, I just placed it there because the part of the flipper where it bends down has a visible 'seam' on it. Just placed a tooth there so no one would notice my fail panel placement. :P


Also, any almost-invertible flipper with a Judge burst should be able to self-right any time. :P

Tried to make an IRL BW VS and it eventually turned into a Nightmare-esque DSL VS instead:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/63099outshined.PNG)

So yeah, nothing special - 3 ants, 1mm tite, airtight chassis and stuff. Worthless against long-reach HSes (unless they're unstable, which it can capitalize on), but it's manly enough to beat stuff that doesn't even try to give a fair match (as evidenced above).

Why are you not just using 3 large beaters perpendicular to the disc's surface ?

It looks pleasing anyways, but your weapon setup still is not the best.
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: Ben Purse on May 20, 2012, 01:34:38 AM

Post by: Pwnator on May 20, 2012, 02:05:27 AM

...because it's asymmetric? Must have misinterpreted that because I have no idea where you're going with here.

It looks good but if your turning it into DSL standard then wouldn`t 3/4 Beaters + Razers better?
Razors would mean I have to use the DSL disc so they won't hit the ground, which means I only have space for 4 razors. That's even worse.


Oh, and a DSL disc with 4 large beaters either makes the weapon setup too small (bars along the disc) or they cut my control board in half (bars away from the disc).

Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on May 20, 2012, 07:56:36 AM
Self-rights fine (a little slow, but good enough since half of the BWs couldn't capitalize on that anyway). If anything, its main problem is trying to pin a bot that was flung out of its reach. It has to back up then turn (due to its wide stance), but the AI only forces it to turn without backing up.

Allocated 10kg more for weapon weight, and upgraded armor from 1mm tite to 3mm plastic. Performance is more or less the same (just with more weapon durability).


Still can't beat Accretion Disk, though. Sometimes I wonder why I built that thing in the first place.

DSL 2 wheels are for HP and invertibility. As for the BSG, it seems to be fine against non-flails, although it's pretty understood that it's game over when it fights against a tooth VS (still stands a slight chance against a sledge VS).

The damage output is pathetic though, so I do have to find something else to enter.

Meanwhile, Cure for Madness (geddit? Because of Recipe for Disaster? /lameskyrimjoke)!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49130cureformadness.PNG)

3mm tite, 4 ants and 2 battlepacks, NPCs, and a Dual Perm 80 M (hurr hurr). And yes, one of the Perms are raised so the discs don't intersect each other (and they counter-rotate). Still crap. Can't do much about that due to the abundance of armor in DSL (you can only put so much top armor in Stock only to be knocked away by 4 razors in a couple of hits, but it's a whole different story here in DSL), but it can still take on some shell spinners and wammers.

Post by: Clickbeetle on June 10, 2012, 07:36:54 PM
I love it.  :approve:   Never thought this design could be done realistically in DSL.  Now to make it effective...
 
Drive might be a tad overkill, and so might the hammer.  As you say, it's a lot easier to protect against hammers in DSL, so you might want to use just a BSG with a poly extender and a few 5kg teeth on it (or keep the JX but use a lighter hammer, if a BSG is too weak).  It won't matter against foes with heavy top armor you couldn't break anyway with the big hammer, and it should still be deadly against foes with weak armor.  Then you can add...moar weapons on the discs, I guess.  I would suggest static side armor between the chassis and the discs (like RfD's plows) except it doesn't look like you have room for it.
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on June 13, 2012, 09:10:10 AM
Will get to that soon, in the meantime, here's a quick bot I whipped up:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/27911dustmite.PNG)

1mm tite, and it's big as heck. A 20cm poly in the back because the disc cuts through the 40cm, so I needed something to bridge the two sides together. It once tore off a flail spinner's shell in 2 hits, which I couldn't take a screenie of because it crashed the game. Only weak to stable long-armed HSes (and sledge rammers), other than that it should have at least a 40% chance of winning.


[Edit] Also, I have no idea why the wheels are off-axle in the screenie. It seems to drive fine.

3mm plastic, 4 ants, NPCs. I wanted to see if Scrappy's Boomer can be more punty, and it does - at the cost of its maneuverability. It really can't steer 90 degrees without gyro dancing. Still fun to play with, though.

RIP3 failed prototype

3mm plastic, mag drive, 3 ants and stuff. This pretty much turned into Infection 4 (that's right it started out as a VS hahahahaha) although I changed a couple of things for this version. Despite the stabilizer in the rear (not seen here, it's a 30-60 segment), it's still pretty bouncy and ruined the wedge (the reason I4 was a popup, actually). You should expect something way different for what I entered.


oh and hai nary

just a little thing i've been working on

Just testing out a weapon motor setup, although there's still a couple of improvements to be made. And as usual, metal hinges refuse to cooperate so I'm down to BSG wedges which can't even get under my old bots.

I know it's big and yellow and ugly and
But, I think a firestorm flipper might be better for the back instead of vlad flippers.  Bigger surface area and more HP (I think...)

Setup looks pretty sweet though.  I'm probably playing with fire by offering advice to the infallible and almighty Pwn...

I slapped the fork at the back just because I had the weight, but yeah, I'll work on it once I fix that unrealistic srimech :<

alrighty then

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44149digitalveil2.PNG)

Got around the unrealistic srimech issue by not opting to use the bursts as a srimech at all. And freed up some weight so improve the trapper. And for some magical reason, the wedges improved (by this --||-- much, which means it can at least go under Guard Duty)!

So yeah, 3mm plastic, 4WD NPCF, Perm 80s, and pretty airtight chassis (which is why I only had 6 ants instead of the planned 8).

I'm starting to hate the NPC's mesh. Damn thing won't let me place ants/large CB directly on top of it >:E

Stack them. I don't think it is considered cheating if you stack a component through the collision mesh while still being clear of the visual mesh.

not always, occasionally metal hinge wedges win against burst motor wedges.(look at my battle against Aeon in Two Tribes for example).

I have absolutely no idea. Most of the time the drive just forces the opponent up even further, although I never cared whether all of the weapons are dealing damage because either way I'm seeing greens pop up every half-second. :P

Good enough, I guess. I originally wanted a skirt hinge in there so I could add more weapons, but I guess I didn't have to tweak the wedge with it being a metal hinge.
Title: Re: Pwnator's Top-Notch DSL Showcase
Post by: 123savethewhales on September 12, 2012, 01:06:41 PM
You know, if you lower the armor to tit 1, you can use npc normal + ant large, which give this bot the drive it needs to.... wedge shell spinners consistently.

my god i havent touched dsl in 4 years

and this is my first time using ra2cf as well

help

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/21508dankforces.png)

Tentative LvD2 entrants, a.k.a. Team Dark Forces clones. I really wanted that spade-type wedge, but I can't pull it off effectively with these components even with CF.

Dark Blade the bar spinner has a Moros bar on a Perm 132, a black batt and an ant, and astros for drive. This one just needs some skinning and maybe a redo of the rear stabilizer before I send it out. And it looks ugly with the paper-thin chassis so I might BFE it back up.

Dark Pummeler the VS has 4 Buster teeth (I think) on a Perm 80, a black batt and 2 ants, and slims for drive. It looks so far from the original that I might have to redo the whole design. I want to rework the spade and maybe just use a Trov'd wedge chassis, but I might be too lazy to think how to properly tackle this.

Not a fan of the undercutter, the weapon motor looks too exposed and the whole thing looks a bit flimsy. I would love to see a bigger ss of the VS, though. Can the wedge actually get under anything?

Finally got the wheelguards properly emphasized, and ditched the whole exposed chassis thing because I'm too lazy to skin the internals in. Had to downgrade to Pl1 due to the large chassis though.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23155shadyshaver.png)

Completely reworked this thing with a Trov'd chassis, but I don't have enough time to figure out the right sequence and placement to get the sides point inwards instead of outwards. Also couldn't figure out the cleanest way to build a spade wedge, so I went with the other fork wedge Team Dark Forces used. Mag drive and Ti3 I think?

I saw a video of an actual robot that looks like this doing self-righting tests, but I couldn't find it again when I tried to use it as a reference for a skin. Cloned it anyway :P

Servo and rear drive are embedded within the drum, but the stock HP DSL servo isn't strong enough to move the arm under the bot. No idea what AI components are slow and strong enough (and spins 360 degrees). The bot in the video doesn't have flamers, but I tacked them on anyway to reach the CW limit.

Basically, I built a bot because I couldn't find the actual robot it's based on. HELP

alright this is harder than i expected

I just realized that an undercutting bar spinner is unfeasible in heavier weight classes IRL unless it gets accepted just so the audience can see it pull an Apex. And it's also ridiculously hard to build one up to the weight limit unless you pad the bot with tons of flair. Same chassis as the MW, double Moros blades, steel 3 and regular NPC drive.

If I ever touch DSL again, the next bot will hopefully be an extenderbot.

looks nice. shoulder pads esp. would look better with skinned bear claws imo and a more consistent color scheme in general

yeah, if you got some blue bear claws on there, like sage's ironbot bot had, that'd be pretty sick

Too lazy to use screenshots of it spitting hot fire because I'm terrible at editing out stuff close to the flames.

2WD NPCFs are absolutely garbage with Tornado wedges, and I couldn't find a clean way to use E-Tek drive nor Beta bursts. And I probably should have set it as a clamp rather than a hammer because it gets stuck in nearly single arena available. I was expecting stiff competition because the chassis is ridiculously easy to build on, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, have a Krabby Patty which is a heavyweight for some reason

I did a double take when I saw that on the front page.  Super cool.  I don't think I've seen a chassis hammer done that way before.

Tried to make a cool ant for cringey's tournament, but I forgot that the DSC packs don't have the pontoons as a single component yet. That ruined my plan for making a VS with pontoons, but I'm a stubborn man and stuck some on the bot anyway.

multiextenders are heavy and i have no idea what's the thinnest component that has a perpendicular ap at the tip

help

hmmm i am an idiot because i forgot about ap hermaphrodity

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Kinda looks bad, though. Still couldn't find a component that allows for a clean pontoon setup so I had to add some teeth to cover the hideous multiextenders. Aside from that, I'll see if it's worth it to downgrade the drive for poly sheets to sandwich the internals.

If you wanna enter as a modular, go on ahead. It's not too late.  :smile:

yeah like if you could find a way to hide the internals it would look amazing

This is probably as best as I could get it to look with the pixel chassis setup.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  

Angled the motor setup by a notch so the weapon is centered, but more importantly that spared some extender weight for some poly panels and stuff. Turns out the mini beater bar has a better AP placement than the multiextender, although that came at the cost of downgraded weapons.
