Quote's DSL Showcase: It's not a pop up again!

[Quote Story]

Thanks for advice guys.
I have a question about the metal hinge, when i try to move it, it havoks off into oblivion
after the hinge returns to orbit, moving the slider around makes it do nothing
i guess it's supposed to be like that?

[Badnik96]

The metal hinge isn't meant to be moved, just put it on your bot, attach a skirt to it and you're good to go.

Hi guys, I tried something different:

armor it titanium 5
underweight because i have no idea what to put
The wedges are great. I've been trying to use wedges that aren't emergency's, but i cant.
however, the reach of the weapons is ok

fighting mako:

The hammers cut through the belt

[cephalopod]

Yeah, in any type of DSL building it's not really allowed to have things cutting through things like motors, batteries, wheels etc, so those hammers that cut through the belt wouldn't be allowed in a tournament. You could always try scaling your design down to MW and using a disc with teeth rather than hammers.

[Naryar]

sort of poorly executed but then again you're new.

Potentially could be very nice because flipper/VS is intredasting and never done D: not much people build hybrids

so here's my advice:

-don't fool around with different wheel sizes on the same bot unless the bot design really requires it. In your case it doesn't. (See: The Troll)
-Emergency wedges are... well... use small wedges, they're better
-4WD is unnecessary on a MW, just use NPC/NPC fast and 2 grippy wheels.
-make sure your VS can selfright using the VS (not the flipper obviously)

i'll watch your showcase and see how it develops, it's nice to see newbies building hybrids.

Where do I find "The Troll", i tried searching for it and it just led me back to this.

Made a new hybrid bot (Hammer and SnS)

uses alu 1
inside are npc fasts, an orange battery, and a battlepack
60kg sledgehammer

the front is surprisingly durable
hammer is extremely powerful, but exposed
has some problems self-righting

edit:
made some changes; gave it a cooler name

spins really fast now

is this for narys hybrid tourney

nah, nar said not much people make hybrids so i guess i should do it

who knows, i might still enter

[Shield]

well twacker/hammer hybrid is conflicting

first the hammer needs to face the bot, but the bot has to spin for the tail to work

a good hybrid would be VS/HS or something like a volleyball flipper (though it would be questionable) and perhaps a side hammer/dustpan

[Quote Story]

It was just some wacky idea I made in about 10 minutes

I tried rammer and side hammer, but i couldn't make them effective, i'll try doing that again.

[Naryar]

It is very nice to see newbies building hybrids... but i'm afraid it wouldn't be good enough for the tournament. Both weapon systems don't synergize at all, and it would get destroyed far too easily.

Nor would I allow that sort of hybrid unless it is actually made combat-worthy because hammer/SnS hybrid is pretty awful in battle TBH.

What SHIELD said, really.

the systems don't really synergize, but it beats most mw dsl stock bots either way

made a new bot (Hammer/HS Drum)


titanium 1
this one can self-right
uses perm 80 el

i like how it looks but the swords go through the disc which is a shame
although a vertical drum is an interesting idea
i assume it self right using the swords though
if you moved the bsg above the npc motors and flipped its angle around it could still (most likely) self right and wouldnt have interflicting parts

[Badnik96]

Um that black disc is static, Chicken. It's perfectly realistic.

It's definitely unique but I cant see it doing that well in combat sadly.

But the hammers slice a section of the disc off, and hence a shell panel on each side

What would make this an effective hybrid:

Remove the hammer and cover the shell panels with spikes to make a rammer/SnS hybrid.  It would look cool, it's fast enough to be a good rammer, and the spikes would still be effective when it was spinning.  There is AI to make it act like both and not just an SnS.  (Thwack3.py--which I should really include in my AIessentials pack.)

yes but doesnt the swords moving through the discs and panels make it unrealistic if not i have a lot of building to do if so then the bsg could be moved
