I'll start with a non-battling bot, but a tribute of sorts:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/46916ROB.JPG)
It's R.O.B! I want to skin the storm piston to make it look more like his head, but i'll do that when i'm not feeling so lazy.
I'll have some actually battle-ready bots here soon.
-
Dang, you beat me to it!
-
Haha, that's awesome man!

I think I have a shot in BBEANS.
-
I'm screwed.
-
Does it obey the realistic rule?
-
It must because his name is already on the "Entered" list.
Also, How did you get the BBEANS arena.
-
The arena is here on CB/FB's site: Download (5.1 MB) (http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/files/bbeansarena.zip)
-
I put it into the game but it doesn't work. (I can't find it in the "Arenas" part before battle.)
-
Does it obey the realistic rule?
It's arguable, but I decided to let it pass because it's not blatantly unrealistic, and we're kinda short on entries anyway.
If I had to predict a winner now, Enfilad3 would be in my top 5. That battle with Shebeast looks like it was close though.
Somebody, it sounds like you're not putting the arena in the right place. Perhaps you pasted the files into the Arenas folder? (check to see if there's another Arenas inside Arenas). It should be extracted in the main RA2 folder.
-
In terms of sheer awesomeness, however, it is in the top 1 :P
But top 5 you say? I'd say thats pretty good for a rookie. I did a lot of testing with the DSL middleweights against each other and against some of my bots, so it's designed to take out most designs. Not even the highest powered DSL MW spinners give it much trouble. I sure as heck hope someone takes out Inf before I face that S&S. That is the one design I seemed to have trouble against.
-
Sucks for you R0B0!
-
I know!
That being said, yours is still quite beatable...
-
One good hit from a hammer (such as Click's) could probably kill your bot II, or at most 3 good hits.
-
It still doesn't work Click.
Edit: I got it working, never mind.
-
Well, I haven't really built much lately, but here's a couple of things I have:
EL3CTRIC R3D
A LW popup. It would be the 3rd member of the team that would include Enfilad3 and obZen.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10711ER.JPG)
- 1 black DSL battery, and 2 red ones
- 2 razor tips
- hypno wheels on slim body motors
Basically, my version of Inf's Haymaker:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6115SnS.JPG)
5mm Titanium armour
And the new and improved version of obZen you should see in RAW:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70874newobZ.JPG)
Any thoughts?
-
Electric Red (too lazy to write in 1337) looks pretty sweet. What burst does it have?
The Haymaker replica doesn't needs that heavy armor and the wheels are too far from each other, or the weapon arms aren't long enough, because rammers are going to get to your wheels easily. Even if it is way faster than Haymaker, the problem is that he'll get OOTA fast with a good hit because of that kinetic energy.
I sure doesn't want to fight obZen. HazCon may have a better wedge than Enfilad3, but I bet obZen is going to own InfCon if they fight.
-
Electric Red is definitely the most fair out of the three.
obZen should win.
and just you wait and see when Haymaker 2 comes out! (you guessed most of its setup).
-
R0b0, I think I noticed a JX burst in the back of Obzen. Is it the Srimech?
-
Yes it is. It probably should've doubled as a flipper when all the razors fell off, but that AI is kinda alot to ask of Sage when he's doing the tourney. I'm working on a new version of obZen now. Hopefully, it will not run into the same wedge problem.
-
I used similar supports on Haymaker 2 because of instability, but mine are longer. did you use 30degree connectors or 45 degree?
-
I think I used 45 degree ones.
The rebuild of obZen is almost done too. It's about 50000000 times better that the one in RAW.
-
Well, my version of DSL imploded, so I had to delete it and re-install it. I lost everything except Enfilad3, Electric Red, obZen and R.O.B. But I improved all the three popups. Here they are:
EL3CTRIC R3D:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62748newER.JPG)
Enfilad3:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61536newE3.JPG)
obZen:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/7639newobZ2.JPG)
I'm still having a little trouble with obZen's wedges, but all of them are now much wedgier, have more batteries, stronger armour, and are more destructive.
-
Three overlapping razors on obZen? Anyways the ground clearance is great and the drive fast, tried that on Grim Ripper 3.
Electric Red has awesome looks, i'm not sure about these wedges though.
And i bet the improved version of Enfilad3 still can't get under HazCon! :icon_twisted:
-
Enfilad3 & El3ctric r3d look awsome! obZen looks cool too, but I'm not sure if I like it better than the one in RAW. Keep up the good work! Enfilad3 looks the coolest in my opinion. =)
-
gay razors def.
Enfilad3 looks even better. But I question the wedges on E.Red and obZen.
-
Taz and small wedges work suprisingly well. obZen's wedges are very good. Trust me on this one. It gets under every DSL AI no problem. Sometimes they glitch though and sink into the floor, enabling the other bot to go throught them (literally) and get under me.
I'm debating whether to remove a battery on Enfilad3 and put on some stronger armour, or keep the four batteries. Right now, I'm leaning towards three batteries with more armour, because that's what the one in BBEANS has.
-
Nice work. Like Enfilad3 (Enfilade 4?) needed any improving.
Electric Red looks great. My favorite of the bunch.
-
Electric Red Looks real cool. Is that were the razor starts or ends?
-
I re-built both obZen and Enfilad3 from the ground up. I'll post obZen when I work out all of the bugs, and Enfilad3 (it won't be called "Enfilad3") before ELBITE starts. Anyways, here's a couple of bots I quickly built:
An un-named MW rammer. 2 70kg sledges, and 1 60kg one. Titanium 5, I think, NPC fast drive, 3 ant batteries.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/26755MWrammer.JPG)
My "spin" on the new S&S fad. Instead of cloning Pinball or Haymaker though, I made a few tweaks. Steel 5, 2 orange batteries, invertible.

Un named rammer : very very compact ! and nice texture
My 'spin' : i will not trust that extender
-
Well done!
I was considering building a three motor/three hammer SnS, but yours is far better than I could have come up with.
And 200 lbs. of pain on a MW rammer=awesome.
-
Does the middle tribar spin too? I guess it doesnt since that looks like just enough space for 2 oranges and multiextender. Very nicely done both of them, just make cool skin for the SnS to make it look more deadlier :D
-
I just built a MW rammer like that about 3 days ago. I just dont like bots without wedges.
SNS...wait till ya see what im working on...
-
New S&S from Inf? I'm expecting something epic then.
Anyways, since Naryar beat me in BBEANS, he's not allowed to beat me in anything anymore. Ever. So, since he built a LW HS, I built a better LW HS :P (<-- sarcasm.)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97847LWhs.PNG)
4 ant batteries, Titanium 1, 3 30kg hammers.
The new Enfilad3 out wedges HazCon 19/20 times. I just have to fix some stability and self-righting issues with it. obZen is almost done too, the razor setup is just giving me problems though.
-
I once built a lightweight with 3 30kg hammers on a single mag...but not a double one! This bot beats mine hands down, great job. =D
Oh yeah, is the new Enfilad3 the one you showed earlier in the showcase or a new one?
-
It's a brand-new one. It looks so much cooler than the old one IMO.
-
Huh...it's like my The World on steroids...nice job.
-
HazCon outwedged?
DAMN YOU R0B0. DAMN YOU.
-
Wedges in general?
DAMN YOU DSL. DAMN YOU FOR SO MUCH FRUSTRATION...
-
Nice S+S, RS. Looks menacing.
-
DAMN YOU DSL. DAMN YOU FOR SO MUCH FRUSTRATION...
i agree totally especially after several fights of my AIed ELBITE bots vs HazCon/Enfilad3 old version.
but, wedges win tournaments in DSL...
-
HAH. well i have designed a bot that will not lose to wedgies!
-
but, wedges win tournaments in DSL...
Exhibit A: Ripterra It had no chance anyway, but it gave DOAM sum good leverage, and Rage III might have flown off of the top instead.
-
A new bot. A MW VS. 4 ant batteries, titanium something (3 I think), Perm 132, 2 30 kg hammers, NPC regular and Hypno wheel drive. More pics to come later.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12714MWvs.PNG)
-
Another Mako clone?
-
I'd say no. Just because it's a VS doesnt mean it's a clone of mako.
-
It's a MW. It's better than DoaM and most HW's as well. Mako is the only bot it has trouble beating. As promised: more pics.

Comments?
-
Could use a different chassis.
-
[round of applause]
-
It looks very good. I can picture the tail helping a lot. DOAM ends up flipping backwards sometimes because it doesn't have one.
-
Great bot. The only thing DOAM has over that bot is that it has a bigger weapon and fast NPC's (though with shiny hub wheels, it probably ends up being the same speed).
Honestly I don't know where you found the weight.
-
It looks good, but you have a bit of empty space in there. Also, you might want to switch to battlepacks.
-
No, he does not want to switch to battlepacks.
-
Does this underpowering means that the following rule applies to DSL too ?
If you are only using spin motors, however (no burst motors), you can easily get by with output being only half of input.
-
Signs I play way too much Halo 3:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8843ghost.PNG)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/80490chopper.PNG)
Both are works in progress. What do you guys think?
-
Can you provide links to pictures of what they're supposed to be?
-
Sure.
Ghost (http://halowiki.net/p/Image:Ghost_Full.jpg)
Chopper (http://halowiki.net/p/Image:Chopper_Full.jpg)
-
Chopper looks really good.
P.S. I am a heavy poster now, yay.
-
I don't play Halo, but those are pretty cool IMO.
-
They look very similar to the pictures for using no custom parts, good job.
-
I don't play halo either, but those look cool. :) How effective is Brute Chopper in battle?
-
Honestly, Ghost is nothing impressive...
But Brute Chopper looks AWESOME.
-
Well, I was fooling around with beating M.O.E. (which I can never seem to do) and I got over 150,000 points, which I thought was kind of cool:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/32328150k.PNG)
I also made a new MW (which I'll showcase later) that beat M.O.E.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43474beatMOE.PNG)
M.O.E. was flashing red as well.
I'm just doing my final AI tweaking on my ELBITE bots, so I'll post those later too.
-
It looks like a MW RPB.
EDIT: also my ELBITE DM bot RAPES M.O.E.
-
It looks like a MW RPB.
And you cheated on the chassis !
EDIT: also my ELBITE DM bot RAPES M.O.E.
bots with wedges will almost always RAPE (as you put it, even though i dont see how this makes any sense) M.O.E.
-
And good speed. I don't think Samurai or SaberTeeth can own MOE.
-
As promised, the MW bot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/69872MW RPB.PNG)
Also, here's a prototype HW drum bot. It's decent, but it has some bugs that still need to be worked out (mainly wedges):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/50458HWdrum.PNG)
Thoughts?
-
8 ant batts on the drum would be good. Even 6.
Just 2kg's more, WAY more total power, and you can underpower bots with only spinning motors in DSL like in stock.
Without mentioning that it would take less chassis space.
-
I'm worried about that big hole in between the spinners on the MW. I like the drum.
-
about your HW, i like the way you protect the motor.
about your MW : aren't this spin motor too light ?
-
I'm almost certain the MW isn't invertible, is there any way it can self-right?
-
I'm worried about that big hole in between the spinners on the MW. I like the drum.
make a bot that can hit between those weapons. then have it kill something else too.
-
The middleweight looks kind of like a mini Bot In Sheep's Clothing.
-
Is the MW called: RPB's son.
-
no, because it's not stock.
-
It must be: RPB's adopted son
-
RPB revised?
-
RPB revised?
Then it would be stock HW.
-
Signs I play way too much Halo 3:
Both are works in progress. What do you guys think?
I would just re-skin the armor extenders just to make it look less bland... otherwise your design is pretty kool.. google the ghost and gank the skins off it.
thats my input.
-
Actually guys, the MW is called "Eriatarka" for the time being. But you were close!
As for Tlee's comment, I am aware of that, unfortunately I'm too lazy to go into any great detail with the skins for the time being. I did look for suitable Ghost skins though, but found none that were any good. I could just take some pictures of some in Halo, and download them off of Bungie.net, but that's too much work. I figure that Ghost needs to be redone first anyways.
-
I made a new BW:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/47397BW RD.PNG)
Plastic 1, 2 ant batteries.
Very destructive, but it's also unstable, and has weak armour. I think it's my best BW.
-
Looks destructive.
-
Very nice.
Although Plastic 1 with a chassis that small...
-
Very nice.
i agree
-
That would be a good weapon on a LW.
On a BW...
Makes me think of Megabyte fighting as a middleweight.
But I can imagine it must be unstable. Firebeetle has a similar BW (Out of the Blue) only with Slap Happy blades instead of Vlad spikes, and it glitched itself to the ceiling of the Combat Arena on occasion.
-
I've had no troubles with it glitching as of yet.
I also completely re-made Electric Red. Here's a battleshot. I'll post innards later (it's a LW by the way).
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95322ER3.PNG)
-
for your own good r0b0, stay away from the wedge.
i love your building, please build stock.
-
I'm not sure about the efficiency of that wedge... being a single short skirt hinge one.
-

INF WAS RIGHT! THE WEDGE IS A FIASCO!!
-
<--- has no respect for fast wedgy DSL bots.
-
Most of us can't drive them.
-
*Halo over head*
-
I made a new VS. 4 Ant Batteries, and Ti 3 armour I think.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1465New MW VS.PNG)
I've been fooling around in stock recently, but nothing of note has come out of it. I'm also trying to build a LW that will thwart wedges in BBEANS 6, but we'll get there when we get there.
-
Show me what you've been tinkering with stock-wise and I'll help...
Solid bot.
-
How did you get the axels in the skirt?
-
@.@
-
special glitch with some angled skirts
-
>_<
rm, It's only the big skirts. And it's not a glitch, there's an AP in them.
-
Just some stuff I've been fiddling around with lately:
A cool-looking but only decent AW S&S. I thought I'd make a whole S&S team, and I have a BW and LW too. The LW is sweet. Mabye I'll post it later...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14234AWSnS.PNG)
A LW rammer. Those are the 60 kg hammers.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/33920hamram.PNG)
A suprisingly effective LW Nightmare-style VS. I'm pretty pleased with this prototype, but I'll have to get around to making some tweaks.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76797NMlwvs.PNG)
A fail bot spawned from an idea I had. The concept I think still has some promise, but the bot downright sucked:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52608glaeforcefail.PNG)
My new favourite bot ever. It's durable, fast, wedgy, destructive, unstable, and looks really cool IMO. It's quite fun to battle with:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/6483er0d3.PNG)
And that's pretty much it for now. I've mostly been playing stock lately, so I'm kinda behind on building for Clash Cubes, especially since the bot that had the most promise by far (it kinda resembled Naryar's newest SHW) decided to go AWOL on me and eat a whole teams file O:<
-
Awesome. Looking forward to the final version of your prototype. :D
Too bad the Borg Drone-like HW sucked. :(
-
I'm just wondering if we're tied for top DSL builder, not me first and you second...
Anyways on your LW, metal skirts are better than spinner panels for pure defense.
-
you're bots are impressing
-
I really like the Nightmare LW.
-
Hey R0b0
<3
-
How do you get the wedge glitch to work?
-
What Glitch?
-
The glitch with the DSL axle in the skirt (like Mako). Sorry, I replied to a post that was earlier in the thread.
-
Just get the biggest skirt & try it.
-
Well, I decided to re-build obZen again. Here's what the result is:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/32260obZen4.PNG)
It's faster, wedgier, and just as destructive. 4 NPC fast drive will do that. It also has titanium 5. The only thing I'm not happy about are the hex plates on the wedges. They're pretty weak, so any ideas on alternatives would be great.
-
*High pitched voice*
Awsome!
About the hex plates, I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it.

Quoting onto this page, just for ease of viewing.
-
I shouldn't be helping you but i am sure 6 battlepacks will give you the weight to get 30kg Ti plates.
And as you probably will have some weight left replace 1-2 of them with ant batteries... 6 battlepacks is a little short on electotal for a HW popup.
-
The problem with titanium plates is that using them means the bot is unrealistic, unless I re-position the razors. Ideally, I would use them though.
-
great update!!!! but what about if your facing a very skinny bot then you are toast
-
30kg Titanium plates suck, last time I checked (when they aren't attached to a baseplate that is)
-
?? 30kg plates don't attach to the baseplate. 15kg ones do, and they kinda stink.
-
great update!!!! but what about if your facing a very skinny bot then you are toast
Or Flash.
-
You're thinking of the 15kg ones. The 30kg ones are quite good.
I switched up the wedge design. Now, there's a single 30kg titanium plate in the middle, and the razor setup is also different.
-
Steel skirts pwn anything else for pure defense though.
Probably the heavy snowplows too.
-
Ohhhhhhh...
Studying for finals
Brain fried
Sorry bout that.
-
Ohhhhhhh...

Sorry bout that.
what's the point of studying for finals if you fry your brain while doing so. And i will laugh, because i got out of school last tuesday. haha.
-
I laugh 'cause I got out of school May 27th. >=D
-
Well, two finals done.
Just wanna say that the new obZen looks great.
-
New bot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/4170newgutripper.PNG)
It's in the prototype stage still, but I really like where it's going. I figured that I'd post it before Naryar posts one, like he always seems to do :P
It's underweight-ness is to make room for a srimech, but I haven't been able to make a realistic one yet. I figure that it will be one of the first revisions.

nice start, Also I wanted to ask u something I noticed some people made bots with razors built in but they come up and retract back in I think ther called popups, Can u tell me the basics on how to make something like that :D
-
Pop up.
I can tell you too, I am also a major gut ripper builder.
Pop ups need a few things:
Ample power (No under powering)
Good wedges (Burst are the best, but for space door hinges work too)
Burst motors for weapons, I use Mag snappers
Speed, lots of it
Frontal armor is not required but helps.

That one's underpowered, that said.
-
I have something similar with saws.
-
Dammit, I was going to do that!:pissd:
-
I figure I'd post some stuff tonight just to kinda share some thoughts andget my showcase off of page 4 :\
Nothing too special here. Just an AW rammer. 2 ant batteries and steel 1 I think:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/34489AW Rammer.PNG)
The LW rammer I said that I'd post about a day ago. NPC fasts, and I think Ti 1 or 3 armour...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37121LW Rammer.PNG)
This is my favourite of these bots. Linck's side hammer inspired me to make one for myself, so here it is. Normal NPC's, Ti 1:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44627MWsidehammer.PNG)
I also wanted to make a stock-esque popup in DSL, so here's what turned out (Ti 3, 8 razors):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98486HWpopup.PNG)
I've also re-built Electric R3d and Enfilad3, as well as numerous BBEANS 6 prototypes. I'm gonna keep most of my LW stuff under wraps for a bit, but I might post the new Enfilad3, complete with a fancy splash when it's all skinned up and complete.
-
I am not convinced by the side hammer. The small wedge will most likely break before the DSL bar so you don't need that much weight (maybe just a flippermaker) , it's too fast for my own liking, and Ti halfsheets suck as armor excepted on the bottom.
-
How is ze stock-esque popup?
-
If you check out JD's prototypes thread, you'll see the inspiration for this bot.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56864screeny.png)
It currently weighs 837 kg, but I'm working on trimming it down. Preliminary results are promising.
-
Maybe downgrade the chassis armor?
-
DAMN YOU R0B0 ! I had a design with the same chassis, weapon and drive setup in my head for months (even tried to built it as a HW but it was overweight) and you HAD to... to...
:FFFUUU
-
violent head explosion
guess you should build these things quicker ? :P
-
Awesome Robo. Are those swords you used on the side arms? Doesn't it feel great to trap a shell spinner like that and grind away? Keep us posted on how the bot changes with your tweaks and tunes.
-

You've done that to me on more than one occasion. Now you know how it feels >:O
Awesome Robo. Are those swords you used on the side arms? Doesn't it feel great to trap a shell spinner like that and grind away? Keep us posted on how the bot changes with your tweaks and tunes.
Those are Hypno arms for sidearms. I'll post a more detailed series of pics once I get it finalized.
Also, Ounce, Ti 3 is about as small as I want to go for chassis armour. I fear that anything lighter will get me shredded.
-
Then maybe you can use metal skirts for the trappers. They have a nice HP/kg ratio, but are hard to work with because of few attachment points. I bet you can find a setup that works for this though. :bigsmile:
And 5mm plastic > 3mm tite
-
Personally i was just thinking a heavy plow on a medium multi. And 3mm Ti isn't a lot for a somehow exposed chassis.
And i can still confort myself by thinking i had the idea before you and you just followed Jack's trend :P
-
A little something that I built preparing for BBEANS. While this looks cool, it isn't the bot that I'm using.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86353LWmammothVS.png)
Plastic 1, NPC fast motor, 3 ants. Inspired by Sage's Mammoth and 123STW.
-
Dude nicee. I built a drum too, but mine isn't nearly as effective as that one looks.
-
Thanks. It took about 5 setups on the back to get enough weight and dodge the rule of 7.
I may post my BBEANS bot when the brackets are full.
-
What ? Is the chassis inside the drum ?
-
Yep. You can see the outline since it's darker than the panels.
-
Ah, i see now :P
-
Oh mai.
O_O

Goes to klone.

Goes to klone.
Not when I do it first! :P
Kidding. XD

I'm alive and building! Huzzah! *can't believe I just said "huzzah"*
I've updated my last VS. Plastic 1, 3 ants, and a normal NPC motor (still more than sufficient):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29034lwmammothupdate.png)
A MW version of The Wr3ckoning, made for the lulz. Plastic 1, NPC fast weapons, slimbody drive, 4 ants:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42156mwwr3ck.png)
And a Trov glitch juggler. Not much to say about it. Good wedges, Tite 3 (I think. Might be wrong.), 4 ants, NPC fast drive.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42548trovjuggler.png)
I'm also drafting a new obZen. Hopefully I can hammer that out sooner rather than later.
Enjoy :D

As promised in Pwn's showcase, just a really quick build of Aquarius. 796-ish kg, Ti 5 , 4 ants, 1 large airtank, 2 medium airtanks, 1 small airtank, the rest is visible. The discs on the back are supposed to be static srimechs, but they're not that effective...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83704aquarius.png)
It's mediocre, but pretty decent for a first draft of a bot.
So, whose is better, mine or Pwn's? :P

Aquarius is unbelievably cool. It sneezes wickedness
-
Nothing really original here, just a standard MW popup. Except mine's better :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/70874screenshot_84.png)
6 ants, 8 razors, plastic 5, 397.0 kg.
And it outwedges damn near everything in the combat arena.
-
It definitely reminded me of PC4 when I saw the angled sheets. XD
You should probably find a more realistic setup for the razors, though. :D
-
KLONE !!!!1
...*looks at chassis* O wait. I said nothing :P
Except mine's better :P
Is that a challenge ??
-
It's always a challenge.
And I could probably trim the chassis down a bit to give it Ti 3 now that I think about it...
-
I just realized PC5's chassis is almost like that, except it's turned around 180 degrees. XD
I was looking for an AX2550 when I realized you used the small one. XD
-
Plastic 5 > Ti 3. You could make it even larger if you want :P
-
Who the heck are you and what have you done with Naryar? The REAL Naryar would never suggest more empty space!
I'm watching you...
@ Pwn: I might be able to squeeze an AX2550 in in front of the batteries if I position them just right, but I don't have nearly enough patience.
-
The REAL Naryar would never suggest more empty space!
That's what you believe :P
-
noting wrong with empty space if it doesnt hider anything (like weapons amount, power, etc) as its more HP. so if you have nothing to do with extra weight I see no problem.
-
Exactly
-
Of all the people to advocate empty space...
-
C chassis are pretty useless.
I'd consider expanding the rear to get some weight, then use it for better armour and stuff.
-
Expanding the rear gets no weight. This chassis with plastic 5 is 34.8 kg. A rectangular one on the same footprint with plastic 5 is 39.2 kg. That 4.4 kg swing would be enough to vault me into HW territory.
Therefore, C chassis are quite useful if you can use the well :P
-
Chassis shape to KG hardly matters since chassis HP is determined by efficiency*KG. A rectangle chassis tends to be easier to protect and armor externally, but in this case it doesn't matter.
-
3 WHEELS: you are on crack 8P
WELL THEN I GUESS I AM ON CRACK.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42104ONCRACK.png)
Before anyone asks, it drives straight. 3 NPC fasts, 8 ants, I have no idea what the armour is, and everything else is visible. Made mostly because I just wanted to make a non-SnS with 3 wheel drive.
Also, a really generic HW shell spinner that I normally wouldn't showcase. Except, note how the flails are mounted so close together:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8242oddstack HS.png)
Most of them (7 of the 9) actually did not allow themselves right away, like so:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17957oddstack2.png)
However, I found that by merely floating my cursor slowly over the flail, the flail would flash in and out of red, enabling me to attach it when my cursor was over certain places, and not when it was over others. In itself, this method of "stacking" is completely useless, as the eFFe glitch is much, much easier, but does this mean that attachment points are really like tiny chassis baseplates where components can be shifted around by your cursor? I know 123stw posted something like this recently - perhaps this is a proof-of-concept for his findings.
Comment away!
-
I don't quite get the side metal hinges. Having them static and just extending the middle wedge seems more logical.
And no anti-immobilizer on the shell :O
-
I agree, but they still looks good.
AND THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME THAT ABOUT THE SHELL PANELS. THANK. YOU. Now Diamon Cutter 4 can be made. Everyone, be afraid.
-
I don't get the whole 3WD bot :P

it sits there, has something uncommon and looks awesome doing it

Because he's on crack.
-
About that odd axle attachment... I had a similar thing happen when attaching flails to Circle of Thorns III. For some reason mouse placement has an effect on attachment. I wonder why?
-
Could we get a download for the drum bot?
-
New stuff yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
A (cubic) LW flipper. Probably won't use it for CC4, but I'm pretty sure this is the smallest possible chassis in Clash Cubes - just large enough to fit an ant.
5 ants, I think Ti 3. Hinges are acting as stabilizers. Even with their collision mesh, they're useless as underbelly armour:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14771cube%20flipper.png)
And a hammer, simply because me > Scrap (psssshhh... I wish >.>).
12 ants, plastic 5:

Wow, it has been a while, DSL.
Unfortunately, I don't have anything too spectacular, just jumping on the IRL-bot bandwagon:

*Nostalgias* Bots like ^that are the reason I started liking DSL xD

NICE
-
Awesome Possum.
-
Looks pretty good.
-
Very nice. Only minor gripe I have is that the beater bars obscure some of the sponsor stickers.
-
Awesome IRL bot is Awesome.
-
I thought you were better than that, R0B0. Irons don't work well as a hammer weapon, Chassi wedges are fail without ballast batteries (Which I doubt you have) and the chassi is wasting space.
-

It appears to be more for looks than actual combat capabilities, by no means a bad thing, but sometimes hard to actually make really effective in DSL.
It does look good however- reminds me of Killerhurtz in a way.

Some possible BoF stuffs:

Probably going to build more soon. Comments?
-
No offence, i just don't like the first one.
I really like the second one though.
-
I can see what you mean, ty4er, I think it's the spinner axle being too close to the edge. Still looks okay, I think, but the second one looks great.
-
That VS doesn't look entirely invertible with that wheel size...
The first one should be called Big Bearded Lumberjack or something to keep with the canada theme. Also it's a spinner.
-
It doesn't have to be, it looks awesome. =D
-
Cool beans. I like both of them. They look really cool.
-
I love the look of the first one (and second one :P), but the weapon choice is sort of non-IRL IMO.
-
I like the first one better, heheh

TempesT looks cool as well. Shame I couldn't block it with Tracer Bullet.
-
Yes, Robo builds. Awesome designs. door hinges on the flipper?
-
MW Rammer looks very nice indeed, and that MW HS looks brilliant. But then I'm a side panel whore. :gawe:
I really like how the Beater Bars perfectly align with the chassis sides on the MW, that's a great little detail. Although if they are Metal Hinges on the flipper, then I have to say poor show. I don't know why I missed that the first time around.
-
I feel bad now that I've stolen your spot. Your bots deserve to be in B4ttlebots way more than mine do.

Ehh, it's not your fault. There were 15 open spots, I was the 16th to enter. If anything, the 15 other people should feel worse :gawe:
Although if they are Metal Hinges on the flipper, then I have to say poor show. I don't know why I missed that the first time around.
I'd be inclined to agree with you actually. Door hinges aren't really IRL, just added them out of habit I guess. Time for an update! *Off to build*
-
DP!
Since Ounce is a jerkface, I had to go and make a SHW if I wanted to get any spot in B4ttlebots. Didn't really have time to entirely design a new bot, so I just upscaled Onslaught. Should be fun to watch though, as its only possible strategy is "GO FAST SMASH STUFF AARGH." Presenting Rampage:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/41014irlRAMPAGE.png)
-
Nice. 8 wheel drive.
-
No, it's 2WD piglet and 6 axles I think.
-
...or that.
-
Should be excellent to watch. =D Will probably commit suicide on the spikes in any chance.
-
Lol, I have a very old robot with the name Rampage that has the same design (spikes on both front/back) but only 4WD.
-
No, it's 2WD piglet and 6 axles I think.
Sarcasm detected. You know I can warn you for not being constructive in the showcases ? That post didn't helped at all.
I agree with you though... While not disruptive, MassimoV's typical advice is just... bland. I haven't seem him once actually analyzing indepth or criticizing bots. IIRC He's not a bad builder and is very far from being disruptive member, Most of his showcase advice consist of him saying "cool", "nice", "i like it" and other genericville comments, or stating the obvious. /offtopic
Now about this bot... I don't have anything bad to say about it's building overall. (I don't see much of it's building anyways :P)
Did you used Click's SwitchDirRam.py for it ? So if your front weapons actually break (which is not that likely due to most bots being IRL, but still) you can ram with the rear and not waste the weight of these rear spikes.
-
how have I missed your IRL bots? they are awesome!
-
Someone made a flipper like this not too long ago, but I don't remember who. Thanks to them for the inspiration though :3

Wasn't it SM?
Looks amazing.
-
I believe it was S_M. Looks quite nice, but I don't like how the chassis looks through the gaps in the back.
-
It reminds me of Dantomkia. Looks nice.
-
Woah. That's pretty sweet. How many flipper segments do you have on that?
-
I count 33. Which is a lot.
-
Looks more like a mix of Chaos 2 and Tsunami... me gusta.

Aye, t'was me. But a JX was weak on a LW.

More IRL stuff while I try to build myself out of a DSL builders block.
HW flipper. Judge burst, NPC fasts and the like.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97454irlhwflipperjudge.png)
Someone made a bot that looked like Plunderbird (yet again, I forget who) so it inspired me to make this. I'm surprised that I haven't really seen any IRL-style crusher like Razer yet. Judge burst, so it's really more of a glorified hammer than a crusher.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/43868irlclamper.png)
-
I think it was Thy who build that Plunderbird bot.
I hate buildersblock.. can`t get rid of it.
I`m in love with the first one
bout the second: I dislike razer :o
-
<3 the second. So cool looking.
TAKE THAT THYRUS
-
First one looks pretty nice and the second one.. DAMN that's awesome work! But I think that others haven't done this type before bust it most probably isn't toooo easy or didn't come to mind.
It's the latter for me... Honestly..
-
:O M G Nary... I`m hurt
but you are right it looks pretty good
(makes this post non pointless... :p )
-
Thyrus has earned 10% warning for a pointless post in a showcase :trollface
The first one looks just really like one of these generic IRL flippers people build. The second one is original and SO COOL.
-
I thought Nary was trolling until I checked the Moderation page.
I wtf'ed.
Also, I soiled my pants after looking at the 2nd bot.
-
The 2nd is not that amazing IMO. I like the Flipper more. :P
-
Flipper looks nice and sleek. Good job with that one.
I'm afraid I'm going to disagree with Naryar, I think the hammer thing looks a little bit messy, the flipper segments don't seem to go together too well. And I'm not a fan of the motors and wheels sticking out the way they are. It's a nice idea, though, but I think it could use a little refinement. =)
-
I like them both. Might try a crushy-type thing now, actually.
Also, the gap for the flipper on the first one is awesome.

This may be my new favourite IRL bot, though. The central thing looks fantastic, and that's a brilliant use of the Bio arm and Storm front end. Only minor niggle I have with it is the NPC axles sticking out of the chassis.

That's how a good number of NPC's are mounted. The mount point on a real NPC is the square flange that's a fair ways back from the shaft.

Thanks guys, gave it a little better skin now:

Looks gorgeous with the new skin.
-
New skin looks fantastic. Nice idea with the vertical build too, how good is it at turning?
-
Pretty good actually. I used one of Clickbeetle's tricks and tilted the chassis so the baseplate doesn't sit perpendicular to the floor.
-
Ha that's awesome. People need to use the chassis turning trick more.
-
Beautiful work... I'm speechless.

Really liking the last two, very good work. The flipper bot helped me solve a problem I've been having so thanks also.
