Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: LiNcK on July 07, 2009, 10:11:54 PM: First, Use Multi Extenders (Those Black & Red Extenders) Instead Of Anchors.

Second, Try Using Perms or something for the spinning drums, TDRW (Or Wathever) = PH41L

Third, Looks Overpowered :\ (4 TDRWs and over 100 amps of power...)

Fourth, Use the Blue Control board... If you change the Anchors for Multi-Extenders, I think that youll have enough space.

Fifth, Try using better wheels...

Sixth, Bluh ;D

Seventh, Dont use Steel Extenders for whats not gonna take damage... Keep those ones on the Plows, But change the one that leads to the spinning drums to Polycarbonate... Itll spare you much weight ;P

Post by: Pwnator on July 07, 2009, 10:17:42 PM: Actually, bike wheels are quite grippy. And 4-and-above Mags are not necessarily fail, Perms are just more protective and have an second connection point.

But yeah, multi-extenders are awesome. Don't worry about the hitpoints. Everything's invincible when attached to the baseplate.

Hes using mags? I tought he was using single TDRWs...
Only 1 thingy is showing :\

Post by: Pwnator on July 07, 2009, 10:28:57 PM: TWM3s are Mags. :P

And I'm not sure whether he's using a single or a double Mag. Either way, it won't spin that fast.

Post by: Naryar on July 08, 2009, 01:34:14 AM: Sage it's NOTHING like Mammoth.

STC - Lighten your extender work and use more powerful motors for both drive and weapon. Also, your middle extender (with the tiny wheel attached) is pointless as you already have snowplows on the side.

yah I should take it off,the last thing I added to the bot was the snowplows and I forgot to take the middle extender off,and I rlly should work on the extender.I also gotta take off the motor for the weapon cause it takes a bit long to get up to full speed,and also for driving its waay slow.

Post by: LiNcK on July 08, 2009, 03:14:07 PM: Overpowered... I really dont know alot coz i never use 2 Gear Mags, But i dont think they draw more than 200 amps together :S

I luv what u did with the Mini Wheels on the extenders:grin:

You could remove some batts and put more spikes on the spinners...

Are those NPC Fasts?

gear mags are good when it coms to damage,except on a shw (figured that out the hard way)

well I guess that'll mean I gotta make the chassis smaller and I gotta use the DSL disc instead

im using the fast ones so yeah they are

Rebuilt
Different Paintjob
2WD (I didn't want to use Mags but if I use one of the other motors, the wheels would be vulnerable)
Smaller Chassis

Post by: Naryar on July 09, 2009, 03:01:24 PM: Keep these wheels but get NPC fasts.

And don't underpower flippers (you'll need 260 amps that is 4 30kg black batteries and 2 ant batteries)

Also WP36whatever suck, and built to the weight limit.

Post by: trumpetguy on July 10, 2009, 11:37:13 AM: I think that is overpowered and you could use more spikes. To show if a bot is 'good' try facing Locknut for middleweights.
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: Naryar on July 10, 2009, 11:42:49 AM: Yes, you need not more than 5 ant batteries for that and you need more weapons. 48kg of weapons is very few on most middleweights excepted popups.

You should use grippy wheels (Vladiator's in your case), and ALWAYS build to the weight limit.
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots

Post by: cephalopod on July 10, 2009, 12:51:55 PM: 1) that polycarbonate extender is really not strong enough
2) I think that extender work for the spinner isn't very efficient. Use a DSL Bar or something.

But it looks alright apart fron that :P
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: Urjak on July 10, 2009, 01:06:58 PM: You need more weapns on that VS. Two Iron spikes is not nearly enough for an MW. And like Craaig said, use DSL bars or Skirts for your VS to rest on, not castors and extenders. Also, you can probably remove the long black batt, and go for lighter wheels.
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: Naryar on July 10, 2009, 03:47:18 PM: not even enough for a LW VS... i just built one and it has 4 irons on a Perm 80.

I suggest you check the other showcases for ideas and advice.

Fifty/50
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: somestrangeguy on November 04, 2009, 03:29:27 PM: You could shink the chassis some and change those Battlepacks for Ants and if im not mistaken Vlad wheels are grippier than grannies.

How you should shink the chassis: Keep the wide stance, its good for VSes to keep balance and stuff. Bring the back side inwards some and you could attach those drive motors partially out of the chassis to save even more weight for some protection for those very exposed weapon motors.
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: Naryar on November 05, 2009, 02:31:21 AM: ^^Nope Grannies have the same grip as Vlads (1.3) and are nearly exactly like Tornado wheels.

Anyways don't use angled extenders, protect your 400 HP motors some more, less batteries and build to the weight limit.
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: S.T.C. on November 05, 2009, 06:07:29 PM: I have a prob,while re-making fifty/50,the front skirts are making the front of the bot get raised up.Any idea on how to fix it?
Title: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: 123savethewhales on November 05, 2009, 06:38:45 PM: Things without wedge tend to need bottom protection. You would need to squeeze out some KG for those half sheets.

Post by: Naryar on December 24, 2009, 04:45:37 AM: You need to learn how to use batteries efficiently on spinners.

1 ant battery is enough per spin motor, add more if you want your batteries to last.

Title: Re: S.T.C's Not So Good DSL Bots
Post by: The Ounce on January 02, 2010, 07:15:28 PM: Yes, TriTon, your post was veeeerrrrryyyyyy constructive.

Anyway, it looks to slow for me. You could probably get stronger motors by removing some batteries (spin motors need only about 1 ant battery each to work; for this bot, I would suggest 5).

The bottom armor is cool, but the top, front, and rear armor seems lacking. Instead, I would recommend a couple of side panels or skirts.

Quote from: Clickbeetle on December 23, 2009, 08:00:32 PM
My general rule when commenting on bots is always to say at least one positive thing about it, like "Good design" or "Nice touch with..." so I'm not just pointing out everything that's wrong with the bot. Because people don't like to hear just criticism, they like to know what they're doing right too.

the maces look cool, and the BS is a nice touch too, but yeah could use faster drive and fewer batts :mrgreen:
Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: Naryar on January 03, 2010, 04:59:42 AM: Use NPC's and something else than ramplates. And yes, 6 ants on this is enough.

By the way, as long as one doesn't enters a crawler into a tournament or overuses them as "OMFG THIS IS MY BEST BOT DESTROYS ALL STOCK LOLOLOLOL", i have no real grudge on crawlers.

Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: Pwnator on January 06, 2010, 03:00:57 AM: Well, the bottom drum already picks bots up, so you probably won't need to use the top skirts anymore. Also, you also won't need such heavy extender work for the rear. Sheck panels would work. You could use the weight to upgrade the wheels to Hypnos or Technos and add some side protection/trappers. :D

Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: 123savethewhales on January 06, 2010, 12:28:37 PM: Drums don't need wedge anyway. But yes hinges being too close to motors seem to AGOD wedge a lot. I mean there are axle wedge if you don't mind your wedge being below average.

Yeah right, it happens on any wedge einstein....

Skirt Hinge + Door Hinge = AGOD
Extenders + Door Hinge = WIN

I try using the normal way of making wedges first, If they AGOD, I use extenders instead of Skirt Hinges :P

Post by: 123savethewhales on January 06, 2010, 04:44:46 PM: problem is his upper wedge cuts into the bottom drum, so he had to use skirt hinge.

It had 4 irons but it was overweight.

Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: Pwnator on January 09, 2010, 12:21:35 AM: S.T.C. mostly likely built that to be a rammer and not a wammer. But chassis space can still be minimized if use 2 ants and put them side-by-side in front of the drive and the CB rotated 90 degrees and placed way back. If the skirts' meshes interfere with the wheels, you'll probably need some axle loading (just put a Storm piston on the motor and glitch it out, then remove the burst and attach the wheel), but the setup's still realistic. :D
Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: Naryar on January 09, 2010, 03:58:03 AM: N00bs are giving advice to decent builders now ?

Anyways, on topic.

@AW: Nice, you might want to lighten that extender work though

@SHW: Damn you i wanted to build something exactly like this ! I'll build that design anyways... and make it better :P

@LW: It's too slow but nice. Also i like how do you attached the weapons with skirt hinges ( <= My idea. am starting to think how this bot looks like NAR AI's Bad Dog :P)

Will you enter a team for NAR AI ? You seem to have enough skill for it.
Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: S.T.C. on January 09, 2010, 09:03:56 AM: I'm planning on sending this team to NAR AI,the bots just need a few tweaks and all will be set.

Well, if you build something that can kill a good number of bots in NAR v2, then you won't have to prove yourself verbally.

As for bot, I suggest dropping the skirt extender and use some regular ones.

The HS does look really good, but the chassis is large and a 2-Mag is quite a lot for 33 kg of weapons.
Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: 123savethewhales on February 04, 2010, 02:25:44 AM: A few ideas you can try implementing

1. Click on the lowest point when making the chassis, this should lower your chassis a bit.
2. Use 8 DS Light Teeth
3. Try to fit in a blue control board
4. Use a drive motor with more HP (TWM (first one) or NPC Normal (first one))
5. Replace the poly+multi extender with flipper segments
6. For back support, try building it out of 40 cm polycarb skirts.
7. Vlad wheels if you can fit it.

I add more spikes on the weapon,it'll just go slower,I'd change the weapon motor,but then I'd have to add another extender and then the game won't let me add the wheels.

Post by: FOTEPX on October 02, 2010, 11:14:51 AM: Make the wedge static
swap the beaters for a lighter weapon
lighten the extender work
Make the armour plastic 1.

Post by: NFX on October 02, 2010, 11:18:32 AM: Stick Heavy DS Teeth on the ends of the beaters and upgrade to perm weapon motors, is probably what I'd do first. Make a metal hinge wedge, and swap the BSG for a JX. Make the chassis a bit bigger to get some more ants in there, and try and get NPC Normals on somehow.
Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: JoeBlo on October 02, 2010, 11:21:54 AM: interesting concept.. is it a strange VS or part crawler ?

if the former, aim for MW and you could move the weapons higher and closer, then use a Metal hinge wedge. use the blue CB, lower the weapon motors to singles, vlad wheels, use a skirt hinge instead of the Multi > Extender > Extender combo you have for attaching the drive.

and yeah :gawe:

Cube chassis FTW though :P

However, you are either going to need better wedges or stabilizers like the ones on Craaig's VSs.

BTW, how do you put a DSL disc under a chassis?

I would but it wouldn't fit, and I was too lazy to remake the chassis lol. I got some other bots but they're entries to Blood Brothers so I don't want to show them just yet. Right now I'm deciding on what to enter on Nary's Mutations tourney, which already seems to have more entries than the Trials.

some of your weapon work is a bit messy. the beaters on the extenders seem useless and the outer beaters... not sure.

also someone needs some more drive, though maybe a slow pusher can work... even tho it looks slow as all hell

SHW - Reptilian Strana 2

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45193screenshot.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/11700screenshot_1.jpg)

Decent stability, but to make it a true Reptilian Strana sequel, I had to make the extender work to separate the weapon motors more, which is an obvious weakness. I mostly made it to look as scary as the first one, but I think it turned out more like a Baby Strana. =P

Nah, 4 is like bare minimum, and since this is a SHW I think he would be better off with around 8 ants.

DSA, I added a plate at the bottom front of it but, since I'm using JoeBlo's CC weight reducing caster to make it a SHW, I didn't have space to fully cover it. I also changed the wheels to Techno Destructo wheels cause it couldn't turn with slipperbottoms, so its a little faster now. Its currently at 1190.7 with 11 ants (wasn't sure how many I needed seeing as I'm using 2 Tornado Mer gearboxes for the weapons).

I added a face spinner-esque weapon on the back due to the large gap between the shells and cause I had a lot of extra weight to mess around with. Also I learned I can get away with building a skinnier chassis for this design, which I will get to at some point soon.
Title: Re: S.T.C's DSL Bots
Post by: Naryar on June 15, 2014, 08:23:12 AM: there is some nice designs but most of your designs are poorly executed, I must say.

The advice that you need ATM : Make sure your extender work is the lightest possible without sacrificing toughness.

the hybrid just needs to be cleaner and less big.

That last bot... it's pretty unclassifiable but maybe remove 1 or 2 batteries. Make the chassis smaller.

Maybe making it less tall, removing shell panels and putting a heavier weapon setup on the disc would help.
