This is my HW bot, Dirge. The only bot I build to not have a cheatbot part. Dead Zone uses one so I didn't think it was right for me to put him here. Oh and sorry, no snazzy paintjob. I have zero clue how to make decals. The inspiration is Mortis and the RW flippers like Gravity. The pickaxe weapon was added as an afterthought. I was gonna use the razor tip but they were too fragile. But the pickaxe also serve on discovered purpose, preventing the flipper from getting stuck through the floor from the Havok physics. I can show a video of its previous rendition. It never had exposed wheels at the back before but I put the wheels back so it won't get stuck on its back or side. Oh and it has 5mm Steel armor. But yeah. Enjoy my pieces of ****s that won't survive in those online tourneys or something. :D

Not that bad IMO, just replace the brown battery with Ants, why? Ants are better and lighter, believe it or not.

Mr. AS · « **Reply #2 on:** March 30, 2013, 06:26:37 PM »

badnik is going to look at that first bot and say "HAY YOU SHOULD DO IRL". im calling it right now.

but yes, you want to make it better? get rid of the 4WD. 2wd npc fast with techno wheels serves fine as a drivetrain.
get rid of the fragile flippermaker holding the strong skirt
if you dont know the general rule is 1 ant per spin motor despite what the descriptions say. burst motors DO have to be fully powered however.
try to get some more weapons on the hammer, try razors or light doublesided teeth.
get some wedges on there, nono not a chassis wedge. i am talking like a metal hinge (alternatively a skirt hinge using the center attachment point can be used if you are low on weight) with a skirt or halfsheet+small wedge

thats the stuff i can come up with off the top of my head. also, hi!

Badnik96 · « **Reply #3 on:** March 30, 2013, 06:33:33 PM »

of course now that awesumsauce has called it im not gonna do it

oh wait i feel obliged to

HAY YOU SHOULD - no

Either way you should definitely shrink the chassis some and get at least four ant batteries in there to power the drive. The black batteries can stay for the burst motor power. Also, exchange the green control board for a blue one, it's lighter.

Shinkioh · « **Reply #4 on:** March 30, 2013, 08:54:39 PM »

Oh, really? Ant batteries can power the drive motors even the best motors, the NPCs? Cool.

Okay, question. So, what cheatbots parts are normally allowed? Cause I use a DDT Burst Motor in some of my lifter bots and the Slow Lifter Snapper Motor as well.

Most people could care less if you use them as long as they are not for tournaments or contests.

Judge Burst and Moe Motors are generally accepted in IRL building

Avalanche · « **Reply #9 on:** March 31, 2013, 07:44:19 AM »

2 bursts are normally ok in IRL: Judge burst and Lifter motor.Make sure you put 30kg of stuff on judge burst unless you WANT to havok to infinity.

I WASNT THE ONE TO SAY IT THIS TIME AWESUMSAUCE TAKE THAT

yeah if you want to build IRL, then yeah most cheatbot parts are acceptable. If you want to build like an efficiencyfag and spam 400kg of weaponry on every bot then Cheatbot2 is completely taboo.

Naryar · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2013, 11:57:00 AM »

You need a more impressive weapon. and moar armor.

good job you just did exactly as as predicted.

Guys, i think he's now a dead account, but just cross our fingers and pray that he listens to us.

Shinkioh · « **Reply #13 on:** March 31, 2013, 11:57:32 PM »

Oh no, I'm just not a very active person. I got several things in my head going on I might not pop up a lot but eh who knows.

Also, skirt hinges? They never work out for me. Mostly cause I didn't know how to make 'em work. I always bounce on top of the other bot instead of being under them. But I guess I can change the shape of the chassis. It dooooes look like a comfy chair with wheels.

Armor huh? Hm. What's the usual standard for each weight classes?

Oh and a spinning disc on treads. Inspired from Cyclone Raptor. TERMINAL DESTRUCTION. Okay it's a mouthful. Its name is Terminus but I think that name has been used countless times by now. So, I'll just go with that. Teeth is fragile but it does wreck sh** aaaand caused a Havok explosion so bad that it sometimes get stuck through the floor or get it and its opponent flung into the air and stuck through the roof.

And here's a vid of it. lol Havok

I can't have been the only one who thought the chassis was a big smartzone. Regardless I like it, the only hole I can see is the fact it uses locking motors, which is something you can't really change if you want a stable tracked robot.

In general, the worthwile armours are Tite5, Tite3, Steel1, and maybe Steel10 if you really need to kill weight.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2013, 06:38:25 AM »

I really like it, it's pretty good by IRL standards.

What happened to p3 and p5 being good? :C

Oh yeah those 2 aswell

Mr. AS · « **Reply #18 on:** April 01, 2013, 02:22:57 PM »

use razors, matilda teeth have normals (AKA they only cause damage when hit on their tip) and generally dont cause as much wreckage as 9000 razors do.

Drugs. You're doing them. Don't lie.

It's horrible by DSL standard... standards, it's bad at best by IRL standards.

The tank treads look out of place, the disk needs extender support or else it's not IRL, you only need an ant per spin motor and use the blue control board instead of the green one.

Otherwise, I like what you did with the dsl bars and the tank treads.

Disclaimer: This IRL advice I'm giving you, not DSL standard. Two different things.
