Scorpions Totally EEEEVIL Showcase

[Scorpion]

That looks sweet. Is it fast enough?

It seems so, i'm going to have to use the little weight i have left to put a balancer on the back to push the front down a bit more, the wedges as they are now are decidedly average, and I think that could be because of the weight distribution being a bit too far back.

Regarding the popup, originality > pure efficiency, providing it is fairly efficient

...yes, but it's not efficient.

It's not even the kind of original I used to go for anyway, it's a fail really, just my pride made me instinctively defend it before.

Look, it's a thing I did:



Only titanium 10 armour, but I don't care, I needed moar razorz!

[madman3]

Looks slow, you could get away with polys for the weapon extenders, then try and get technos on.

[Mr. AS]

only titanium 10 ?

Looks slow, you could get away with polys for the weapon extenders, then try and get technos on.

It's the size of the wheels that is the problem, Techno wheels intersect with the razorz while vlads don't.

Mount them on the back of the skirts (I think you can do that).

Is it even DSL realistic? I know razors can interset in DSL, but this takes it to such an extent that surely it's unrealistic?

how does that make it unrealistic ? the entire thing would be one/two drum(s)

I did this in Stock, then Pwnator did it in DSL. I think as long as they don't fully intersect, then it should be fine, a bit like the original Crab Salad.
 
Looks alright, but definitely too slow. I'd try making the chassis a bit larger so you can get the motors far back enough to accomodate Technos. Dropping to polys would definitely be a good idea, it's not as if the extenders are going to get hit anyway.

[Naryar]

Nobody cares as long as it's not stacking.

This is overlapping, it could be done by welding razors. Note that stacking is placing 2 components at the same exact place and position, but overlapping is simply 2 components having collision meshes that intersect.

It's pretty cool, although too slow.

[123savethewhales]

Clearly the problem here is NOT ENOUGH RAZORS.

[Scorpion]

First build in 3 years apparently, time flies I guess.
Just a bland rammer to start with, fun to play around with though, 8 ants and titanium 3 armour.
Named Arachnophobia, after this old film that was on tv last night, because yes.

#reb00tthshowcase

Seismic Tosser:




Titanium 5, lots of bats, still slightly underpowered though, tosses like a mother though.

[martymidget]

flipper segments > steel extenders, you were raised better than that

hell beater bars would be a better alternative in that situation

[Scorpion]

My apologies, rediscovered flimppermakers high hp after building this bot, considered it changed.

[Pwnator]

You might be better off using the bigger batts since you're using 3 Betas and stuff.

Did the calculations quickly and if I'm not being dumb, you need 65 ants for full power which equals 422.5kg. You need around 11 PC562s for full power which equals 330kg. Obviously you can't put that many in the chassis but if you use both batteries you'll save a decent amount of weight. Props on taking the time to put that many batteries in though...

[Scorpion]

**** knows why I did this:




NCR-trinity spinner, insane amounts of damage obvs, but surprisingly controllable, god knows how to AI it though.
Titanium 3, 4 ants yadda yadda yadda

[rnifnuf]

There is a PY called "FBSTrinityInvertDir," and it comes packaged with Ironforge. It is designed for trinity spinners like the one you made.

As for the bot itself, I like the creativity but I don't see how it could self-right if knocked over. Also try using some smaller wheels; hypnos might work.

Cheers dude. It can self right with its drive just about, the bot is more of a bomb than anything mind, so it destroys the other robot or itself pretty fast (fortunately mostly the former with odd one hit KO).
Hypnos fit on now I've fixed a minor AGOD I missed on the disk.
