As to not spam up Sage's RAW thread with pics of our own bots, and so that we won't have to look through 20 threads to find bots. Just post your RAW bot here:-D (if you want to). That way everyone will know where to look.
I will start with mine: Thor 3
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82971Thor 3.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12127Thor 3 Inside.jpg)
The second pic is missing 30 kgs because of a top plate that is missing. (A 30kg Titanium sheet to be exact)
-
Ha!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/68702IC loves Grog.jpg)
Yeah, this is my RAW entry, the second version of Infernal Contraption. Was fighting against Grog and... THAT happened. The game lagged when i ripped off his spinner shell.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56795screenshot_2.JPG)
Same drive as Infernal Contraption 1. Weapons powered by dual Magmotor gearboxes (something like TWM3R2). Four battlepacks.
I was sticking to beater bars and heavy DS teeth, but these razors are extremely damaging and not as frail as I expected.
And, great thing, IC 2 now features 5mm Ti armor !
-
That is probably the weirdest Havoc Explosion result that I have ever seen. Infernal Contraption 2 looks...deadly.

If you want to see how it works, it is on the last match in this video.

In the vid it looks fairly stable, Joe. Nice job.
I'm trying to picture how it'll do against Someone's and Nar's potent bots, but I can't seem to picture an obvious victor. Have to wait and see.
-
Well, there's NO way IC 2 can't get under Thor 3- look at that big ground clearance.
Against Destroyer (what a generic name...), I really don't know - Destroyer can't possibly flip IC 2's wedge design and IC 2 won't get under Destroyer easily. I have the edge in defense/mobility, he has the edge in offense.
These DSL bars are a great idea indeed. I find them more cool-looking than the usual hinged wedge.
-

I feel bold, so I'm gonna post it.
-
Only 25 to go. All these bots look good. Naryar, when you said alot of Ground Clearance, did you mean Thor 3 or IC 2, because Thor gets under Smashbox 2 EASILY.
-

I like your bot, Nar, cool design, but I can't picture how it would do battling a large VS. You may be right, we'll see. Hope you do well.
Nice bot, K-3. Watching these big VSs go at it will be fun.
-
Thor 3.
But if Thor 3 can get under Critical Emergency or Second Sentinel, he has better wedges than IC 2. IDK about Smashbox, at all...
If it continues like that, it is gonna be better than BBEANS 4 bot-wise, because all these bots look good. (Ripterra's now way outdated, huh, SB?)
-
(sorry for the double post, but can't edit my previous one)
@Mad: Well it is Neglected Waterbug DSL...
Against a Mako clone with the same wedge system it should be fine, but against a bot like Far Cry with small wedges or Destroyer with no wedges... i really have doubts.
I think Infernal Contraption will have seriously more trouble than his little brother.
-

The names are intentionally generic, and there are some times when it will tip over even with those bars, like it did at 5:30 in the video.
-
Yes, I do think that Ripterra is a little (alot) outdated.
-
Here is a new video, and incase you want to see how well mine can really do, watch what Destroyer does to Mako ;).

Hazardous Contraption's greatest strength is its drive, in my opinion. It wouldn't be half as good if it was any slower. For that reason I don't think Infernal Contraption will be quite as dangerous--at least it will be possible to escape from. Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I think it would be a lot better with 4WD.
Not that it's not scary enough as is... especially when I'm entering another flail-hammer bot! Probably also the only one. Yay for novelty designs!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/72277epicflail.jpg)
Epic Flailure has an ace up its sleeve, though... you can't see it well in the picture, but it has armor covering most of the bottom. All it needs is a few opponents with exposed tops.
Oh, and those battle shots vs. TuniT 3 and Shebeast are with AI vs. AI. I just fought Big Metal Friend as human to show how much damage it can do.
-
I like the idea.
-
Hahaha. System Failure... Epic Failure...
I did a large version of Enfilade for my RAW bot. Presenting obZen:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/42509IC.jpg)
This is Infernal Contraption 1
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56795screenshot_2.JPG)
This is Infernal Contraption 2
Same drive train, the screenshot isn't just as precise as the first.
For the differences between 1 and 2, I slightly resized the chassis, swapped two ant batts for a battlepack, and other things (i didn't really needed a heavy skirt for the lower wedge), but most importantly changed the weapons because these Magmotors on hinges (quasi vertical weapons) wobbled too much to be efficient, and upgraded the armor from 3mm Ti to 5mm Ti (i rarely use heavy armor). But the drive is the same.
These DSL cutting teeth are supposed to fend off HS attacks, but they're nearly useless.
________
But it isn't as efficient (in his weight class) as HazCon.
In fact for this design, I think MW is the best class to go. I don't really know if i can make a LW version, and that said it won't be very efficient because of the need to have wedges and two spinning weapons (these will be piglets for sure).
Good thing, the arena hasn't a central blade, so InfCon 2's can rush in and strike quickly.
And another good thing, that HazCon never did...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12982GrogsOut.JPG)
-
The side teeth look cool though
obZen is the first bot I have see that I am having doubts about me being able to beat it.
Its kind of cool how everyone is sort of still thinking of BBEANS with their Raw bots. Examples:
Somestrangeguy's bot is Smoker's Revenge
Naryar's is a HW of his BBEANS bot.
So is Click's
ROBOSH4RK built a HW version of his BBEANS bot.
There are more people posting on this thread than I thought there would be.

dsl popups still = gay
May I ask why?
-
not realistic and would do no damage IRL.
-
Inf, is it the chassis slightly pointing out of these side aluminium skirts ?
Nice design, BTW.
-
it looks like a wheel to me.
-
Same here, and even a Hypno wheel, but I won' see the point of being 4WD, and it is unwise to use two different wheel types (ground clearance problem, especially with wedges).
-
I still have a few things to tweak and i just didnt bother to fix the front wheels yet.
-
This is Lu-Tze. Not a very good wedge (to lazy to update it), but she's wicked fast and well-armored.

Everyone loves empty space!
-
not me!
-
Me either...
-
Oh, that's right, I just forgot the SARCASM brackets.
(truthfully, i was lazy to put them)
-
I sent in a revised version of mine [Sage allowed it]. So here is the picture...

The HPBL stands for High Power Barless, going by the other version I have SP stands for Standard Power, and HP stands for High Power

This is my RAW entry:
Archimandrite IV
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61101archmandriteivoverview.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37464archmandriteivint.jpg)
Yep it's definitely a word. For those curious enough to want to know what it means: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimandrite
After my BBEANS failure I abandoned the heavyweight Interventionism idea because i couldn't think of a way to implement a self-righting weapon
onto it. :(
The spinner is powered by a dual perm and has 2 60kg sledgehammers on it. It has the capacity to throw robots very far but also does massive damage at the same time. It can beat Mako I'll try and get a screenshot
-
DEAR GOD I'M SCREWED. That thing is gonna kill me, if it can withstand a hit from my bot's spin. Actually I like that alot, considering I fail at making dual-perm vspinners. Especially with enough weight left for 60KG hammers. :-D Bit of empty space though, you could probably put in heavier wheels if you shortened the bot up a bit.
-
Oooh, DOAM wedges... AND a good bunch of empty space.
There is gonna be a lot of VS in the tourney for sure.
-
WOW that is a great bot. I guess Sage was right when he said that so far there are no really bad bots.
That is a great design for protecting the Dual Perm.
Edit: 14 More bots.
-
Okay, there are two Dual Perms now, but mine might have the edge because my hammers are more durable, and your weapon will be easier for mine to rip some chunks of the shell off. But mine is also more vulnerable.
-
I actually might change my entry. but who knows.
-
I would do that if I were you. The weapon doesn't look strong enough, and very fragile. Feel free to show me battleshots to prove me wrong.
-
I'd update Lu-Tze's wedge, but I'm too lazy. At least he'll die looking cool.
-
@Joe: TWO dual perms ???
@Sorrow: Lu-Tze is a guy?
-
Two double perms in the tourney!
-
@Joe: TWO dual perms ???
I think he means there are two bots to our knowledge that have weapons powered by dual perms...
-
make that 3 ;)
-
Then show us:-D
-
Sorry for the DP
A few more pics I have collected from around the forums.
Somestrangeguy's Smoker's Revenge

Scrap Daddy's Steel Meatball
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19352Steel Meatball.jpg)
If any of you do not want your bots on here, or have a reason for me to take it off. Feel free to PM me and it will be taken off immediately.
-
Mutant Caterpillar? I thought it was Mutant Dragonfly....
And here is mine (the slimmer version at the bottom, not the fat one):
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/66406speed_king_overview.png)
-
you guys COULD just wait for the splash.
-
Man, those things are going to CREAM me! Ah, well. Thanks for putting my bot on, Somebody. (Flying_Chao is right though, it's mutant dragonfly III.)
-
Sorry, typo, oh well, now it is fixed.
-
This is gonna be a good tournament.

Mine, Epic Flailure V3
(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/seamour2/screenshot_5-1.jpg?t=1221697786)
(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s46/seamour2/screenshot_6-1.jpg?t=1221697818)
Pretty good at killing Wiideload, SLAUGHTERS Smashbox 2, kills Mako too if it doesn't OOTA, but can't kill Shebeast. Dang. Oh well. Also, the Epic Flailure series has had the most revisions of any bot I've ever made. Looking at the first (there were actually four but the first was in stock so I didn't count it) it was so primitive. Against Starcore 3 it could only kill middleweights.:ermm:
EDIT: Why are the image tags not working?
-
mines awesome, I picked the only HW I had.
(BTW it sucks.)
-
@Joe: TWO dual perms ???
@Sorrow: Lu-Tze is a guy?
Err...her mommy didn't love her enough, so now she's not sure...
Okay, I just pulled that excuse out of my ass...
Anyway, she can take out anything she can get under, so I don't think the sit 'n' spinners or FBS's will be a problem.
-
Okay, I just pulled that excuse out of my ass...
LOOL love the expression.
Condor, there's already a bot (Click) with that exact name in the tourney. I'm sure you've seen it. So you should change the name.
-
Condor the copyer. Look at the name of Click's bot (Epic Flailure) Then look at how much your bot looks like compare to Sage's (Pinball). I would change the name, maybe to something like "Catastrophic Meltdown", or something like that. Just to avoid confusion during the tourney.
-
OMG at Pinball! that thing is going destroy me if I can't hit it right
Steel Meatball and Mutant Dragonfly look great as well.

1. I didn't know Click's bot was called that. I'll still change the name though.
2. My bot has nothing to do with Sage's; Epic Flailure 1 was an improved Haymaker.
Ok, new name. How about "Steel Hurricane?" Oh, and if I seem like I'm copying, I'm not, I really didn't know about Click's bot being called that. I knew about Flailure in the System, but not that.
-
Love how you purposely copied someone else's name which you definitely didn't come up with yourself and you definitely made an exact copy of someone else's bot. coincidence? no.
-

Agreed for the name copy, but I don't think he copied Pinball. Because Pinball is better.

I made an update to my bot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/26011archmandritevoverview.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16548archmandritevint.jpg)
and here it is against Mako
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/12422archimandritemako.jpg)
Basically I've made the chassis smaller to reduce the empty space (except for the section the weapon passes through) and strengthened the armor (3mm titanium)
EDIT: It also beat Smashbox 2!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/89397archimandritevsmashbox2.jpg)
-
That's a cool bot, how stable is it?
-
The short answer is "not very" :(
It tips to the side when it turns so the AI turnspeed will have to be very slow.
If it does tip over the weapon will right it but only after some crazy bouncing (more like flying) around the arena. So stability will probably be what will kill it in the tourney.
-
VS = naturally unstable.
You simply need to find the secret of VS stability.
Neat tight chassis.
-
Just one thing to add to the debate:
They're all inferior to Inertial Deathlock III, of BBEANS2 fame.
-
*coughyouranidiotcough*
SOrry, but what am I SUPPOSED to do? Make a new entry? I will if I must but my bot has NOTHING TO DO with either Pinball or the other Epic Flailure, it merely uses the same design. I DO NOT PLAGURIZE OBOTS, there's no point because i'm not being paid.
-
THE MEGA CLONE!! hahahah has this ever happened before?
Anyways yeah sage's is better. Yours has exposed wheels and your hammers are real close to em.
-
Just one thing to add to the debate:

WRONG. inertial deathlock looked cool, but stunk. really ungrippy wheels. slow spinning. underpowered.
In any case, that's an awesome bot. Like an Inertial Deathlock IV. Looks like it improves on all of IDIII's weaknesses.
-
WRONG. inertial deathlock looked cool, but stunk. really ungrippy wheels. slow spinning. underpowered.
Hmm...thinking back on it, I suppose that you're right.
-
Anyways yeah sage's is better. Yours has exposed wheels and your hammers are real close to em.
And spins at about Mach 3. Plus my weapons act as ablative armor.
-
Somebody already put my bot on, so I'll show you the insides:
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/y.png)
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/reier/RA2/DSL/smashed.png)
It can wipe out Smashbox 2, sometimes Mako, but I haven't defeated Shebeast yet.:baby_smily: The one in the tourney has a different skin.
-
You know what: To heck with it. I'm changing my entry. I have a multibot drum now. One of them can kill every middleweight in the game, so I'm pretty sure I can fight heavyweights with two. Their called the Hum-Drums and I'm pretty sure that name hasn't been used. Pics coming when I can be bothered:tongue:
-
I made an update to my bot:

Mine has the same amount of armor, and it is pretty stable. Those bars go out far enough to keep it from tipping over, but the turn speed many need to be reduced.
-
do us a favor and dont copy 3 screenies when you quote.
-
WRONG. inertial deathlock looked cool, but stunk. really ungrippy wheels. slow spinning. underpowered.
Agreed. I saw it getting trashed against Fight or Flight.
-
It got some very unlucky matchups though. Condor: I think that a multibot would be better than your current bot. (depending on how good it is)
-
Ah a multibot. Cool. Because these hammers attached to POLY extenders...
Reier, i LOVE this version of Mutant Dragonfly. Just plain cool, nearly no empty space, neat motors, decent weaponry, and rammer/poker hybrids are great. But, it could be slightly upgraded IMO.
-
Double damage was quite weak, It should have had a better weapon.
Kevlar/superstar was just crap.
I think a Gemini clone would do well.
-
And you forgot Sabre, which wasn't that bad.
-
Sure hope 2 more people join, or else we might have some random byes. =O
-
I think a Gemini clone would do well.
Multibot flippers? And a MW throwing a HW OOTA?
Perhaps if the two flippers are under the HW and fire their flippers together, yeah. But this means that the HW couldn't block one of the multibots... generally, one multibot gets mauled and the other can attack freely.
Against a VS or not invertible bot like InfCon it could work. But against a HS or invertible bot...
-
does a multibot have to be 2 bots the same or could it be one hs and one vs? just wondering not actually entrering a multibot. working on a flipper as my entry quite frankly... sucks
-
A real life Multi-bot could be any 2 (or more) robots that when combined, add up to a ceartain weight class. In this tournement, you're only allowed to have 2, but they don't have to be identical.
Quote from BBEANS rules:
Multibots
Multibots (aka cluster bots) are allowed with certain limitations. First, the number of bots in the cluster is limited to 2. Second, the combined weight of the two bots cannot exceed the weight limit for the tournament. Third, if a multibot qualifies for the rumble, only one half of it will be able to participate due to there being only 4 player slots. Multibots will be fought under the Team battle format so that their points are added together, and they do not get points for hitting each other (although they will still be damaged if they do, so watch out).
