rnifnuf's DSL Cavalcade of Crap

[MassimoV]

What do you have the wedge on? And I'd try to get NPCs on there.

[090901]

You only need 4 ant batteries.

Nononononono, the bare minimum he needs 7 ant batteries. Anyways, you should easily be able to fit NPCs if you just ditch the rear part you currently have the drive in and just attach the NPCS behind the BSGS. (The right and left version of NPCS allow you to put like 99% of the motor outside the chassis.) Drop the strength of the chassis and up the plow to a medium plow or a heavy plow. You should also look into using a curved hammer instead of a straight one (I can post an example if you want). You would problaby be better off using razors instead of beater bars too.

[rnifnuf]

Okay, here's the newest version of Slammerfist.

Drumroll, please.



Plastic 10 armor again.
80cm Aluminum skirt for a wedge
Those are the FAST NPC-T64s you are looking at.
Better plow (medium instead of light).
2 Reds and 2 ants power this bot (Reds=Battlepacks).

Thoughts?

0__0 YOU DIDN'T SAY GOOD EVENING!
Lel jk.
That looks really nice. Planning on entering any tournaments?

I thought every motor only required one ant bat 'cause of a glitch?

Or was it only for spin motors?

Anyways, regarding the bot, definitely an improvement. But you might want to replace the beaters with razors, razors do more damage if I'm not mistaken.

And yea, curved hammers are good.

Only for spin motors. Any burst requires what it says in the description.

Good evening, Gametechmods!

Sorry I haven't posted anything today. I was spending time in Seattle with my sister for the day, and it was loads and loads of fun. But now, I am back at my desktop!

I have had a "burning" question: Which version of Slammerfist would be better:

The slow-but-sturdy version with Steel 5 armor and normal NPC-T64 drive,

OR

The fast-but-fragile version with Plastic 10 armor and fast NPC-T64 drive?

Also, can someone please provide an example of a curved hammer? I am a bit confused

I have Beater Bars instead of Razors because of the fact that the beaters have a high fracture value and are more durable than razors. I know that Razors have 420 DP instead of the beaters' 250 DP, but Beaters have high concussion which makes it good for ripping off external components to expose the chassis.



But something I did use razors on is this:

Meet Little Star, a Lightweight vertical spinner.

Features:

• Armor: Titanium 3
• Power: 5 ants
• Drive: 2WD Slimbody
• Wheels: Vlads
• Weapon: 4 razors on 2 DSL Bars
• Weapon Power: Piglet
• Polycarbonate wedges on 90-Degree axle mounts
• Can flip Velociraptor (It struggles, mind you, but it is still barely capable of the arduous task)
• Somehow won a hotdog eating competition last week

Advantages: Ridiculously strong, good wedge, decently fast.
Disadvantages: Exposed drive motors, somewhat unstable (especially when the skirt wedges are gone), fragile--don't drop it!

Thoughts on Little Star?

[helloface]

Looks decent. You may want to remove a couple ants for Magmotor drives.

Sage's Curved Hammer, Final Destination. Basically, instead of making it straight, make it curve a bit.

 The VS looks pretty decent. I'd just get rid of the wedges and replace them with stabilizers. Saves weight for more weapons.

The upgraded hammer looks really good. If you're looking to enter a tournament to test your skills, you could team up with someone and toss the hammer into Two To Tango 2, or you could enter the LW into Blades of Fury 3. [/shamelessplug]

Good evening afternoon.

Updates on my bots:

Slammerfist:

Now a curved hammer. I saved 10kgs by downgrading four of the large beaters to medium ones. This 10kgs was used for upgrading the regular NPC-T64s to the fast ones. It has Steel 5 armor instead of Plastic 10.

Not DSL standard because the flipper segments intersect the drive motors, sad face

Little Star:

The skirts double as wedges and supports for the bot. This time, they are static. Now has hypnos for slightly faster drive than before. Armor is till Titanium 3 and the chassis is still fragile. It is currently looking for another hotdog eating competition to dominate.

And lastly: Cutting Wedge III

Oh, no! Not THIS guy again...

Actually,

Minimum chassis height, vastly improved wedge, Fast NPC-T64 drive with hypno wheels, same weapon setup we all know and may or may not love, four Battlepacks for power. The only downgrade is the armor: Plastic 5 as opposed to Titanium 3.

Still an egotistical jerkface, though...

Thoughts on these bots?

[Badnik96]

For the hammer, you could always change the start position of the hammers so they don't intersect with the wheels.

for the VS

[Badnik96]

Also, for the popup, you'll want to move the razors up a bit so they don't intersect with the battery, then rotate them so they all face in the same direction and hit at once, maximizing damage.

Good evening yet again, my fellow superiors (not you, Jamin).

I have never showcased a heavywei-

Never mind.

Say hello to Flucifer's Wedge!

Hello to Flucifer's Wedge!

As I was saying...

This is Flucifer's Wedge, an unusual Juggler/Popup hybrid.

Quite literally Cutting Wedge on steroids (Seriously, that is the same exact chassis, wedge AND razors seen on CW).

Features:

• Steel 5 armor
• Powered by two battlepacks and six ants
• Same drive as Cutting Wedge
• Same wedge as CW (I updated CW's wedge since the last time you saw it a few posts ago)
• Weapons: 2x4 razors on a BSG-200, 2x8 Medium beater bars on a disc
• Weapon power: Either 2 BSG-200 burst motors (one per rack of four razors) OR two TWM3R weapon motors (one per disc)
• A heavy snowplow in true juggler fashion
• Rear supports made of 40cm Titanium angled skirts
• Features a crappy srimech much like that of Hypno-disc
• Name is a reference to the final boss of the 2005-2006 NDS Action-adventure game Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime. Flucifer is the name of the evil spirit that possesses the Plob leader, Don Clawleone. Here, Flucifer is possessing Cutting Wedge and making it more powerful, but also evil...
• Looks like it has a face to strike "fear" into its opponents (the discs are the eyes and the razors are the fangs)

Advantages: Unnecessarily powerful, fast and wedgy, can easily last three minutes.
Disadvantages: Exposed drive motors, sub-par srimech, razors don't usually come into play.

Thoughts on this bot?

[helloface]

Looks interesting. I have no idea if it's good or bad though, since I have never built DSL-S in my entire life.

[MassimoV]

Hmmm a hybrid... This thing should probably have more drive than just 2wd w/ hypnos. You need either 4wd w/ hypnos or 2wd w/ technos. And the wedge needs to be stronger, try upgrading it to titanium.

[Badnik96]

What's up with that BSG in the back? Srimech?

[rnifnuf]

Good evening to Naryar, Badnik96, and MassimoV. But not to S.H.I.E.L.D.
(Just kidding, S.H.I.E.L.D.)

Now to Gallagoy McAlberto with the latest update on Flucifer's Wedge.

Gallagoy McAlberto: Tom, rnifnuf has just updated Flucifer's Wedge, probably the world's first juggler/popup hybrid. Take a look at it.


(Yes, Badnik. That BSG is for the sub-par srimech.)

Rnifnuf managed to add five ants to this machine. He also changed the skirt wedge from polycarbonate to steel. I guess he realized that the robot was wide enough to not need very wide rear supports.

The srimech is slightly better, though still abysmal.

The biggest change to the bot is the fact that the heavy plow was replaced with a titanium half sheet. It sacrifices 2000HP for less than half the weight of the plow. Who knows if this will be Flucifer's downfall or the best thing that has ever happened to this bot. We may or may not find out.

If you have any thoughts, please feel free to post them as a reply.
Objects to whack rnifnuf are in the front lobby if they are so desired.

Back to you, Tom...

Tom: Other reports are saying that rnifnuf built a lightweight dual sawbot called "Bonesaw"



Every single component can be seen from this angle. The armor is Steel 5. Secretly wants to be a carpenter. Need I say more?

Advantages: Invertible, strong weapons, strong armor, fairly fast.
Disadvantages: Can get stuck on its side, fragile weapons, no wedge, saws take damage simply from moving.

Thoughts?

[Badnik96]

First of all people have done juggler/popups before. Dunno if the hypno arm would be the best choice for the srimech.

Bonesaw looks alright, but it looks underpowered. Is there any way to get four ants in instead?
