Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 19, 2008, 02:14:44 PM
Here is my new showcase, and first, I have a for fun bot, Ring of Fire.

Pretty cool. Can you kill anything though? May want to add a few spikes on the front there, for the finishing blow.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 19, 2008, 02:42:04 PM
It gets about 20 seconds of fire, and then it runs out. I was thinking of putting the disc so it goes: spike, flamethrower, spike, flamethrower, spike, etc.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on July 19, 2008, 10:07:26 PM
That's awesome.  Nearly useless, but awesome.

I think if you replaced some of those flamethrowers with spikes and trimmed the chassis and drive (and probably armor, I can't imagine where else all the weight would be unless those air tanks are stacked), you could get it down to a MW.  Then it might actually be somewhat battle-worthy.

Cheaty tip:  if you wire the flamethrowers with an analog and hold down the button, they will keep firing at full power even if you run out of air, until you let go of the button.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 20, 2008, 08:01:10 AM
They are were wired to an analog control. Here is Ring of Fire 2, a combat worthy bot.

Edit: When I took the inside pic, I hadn't set the armor yet. I ended up setting it to 3mm Aluminum.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 24, 2008, 09:34:11 AM
Don't all comment on Ring of Fire 2 at once. Here is the luckiest bot in the world. It has fought in 3 tournaments(in game) and never lost. Including battles against Vengeance, and Lock Nut in the cave arena. It also beat Red Alert, Lock Nut, and Insanity in the DSL Tournament Arena, and Ripblade 2, Slashback, and Devil 2 at the same time in the Half Circle Arena. The Ant battery is actually 10 that are stacked into one.

Ring of Fire looks awesome and original! However, I think you should take Clickbeetles advice and try to make it a MW. Actually, save that design, but try to build a MW version. Hint: use less air tanks. Slayer looks less exiting, but if you've won a lot of tournaments with it, i guess it's pretty good. ;)
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 24, 2008, 11:37:52 AM
The design accidentaly got deleted, but I am doing a rebuild with less airtanks to make it a middleweight.

Here is probably the best DSL bot I have built so far. It is called Soul Eater 4, and if you can't see, it is a Perm 80 EL powering the blades.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/23096Soul Eater 4.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57490Soul Eater 4 Inside.jpg)

Except for M.O.E. and Tornado Mer, it can beat any bot in the game.

Edit: It can't beat Pon2n either (it can't reach it)
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on August 07, 2008, 09:03:00 PM
That's a nice flipper/VS combo.  But on a HW, you really want a Perm 132 powering the weapon.  Maybe you could use 2 Snappers for the flippers instead of 4 to get the weight.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 08, 2008, 09:32:00 AM
Soul Eaters 1 and 2 just had 6 snappers, Soul Eater 3 had MOE blades, and then this one had the Fluffy blades.  The weapon is strong enough to deliver constant 600+ hits. I might try it though.

Also, I have Starcore now.

Ooh, nice! Maybe you could exchange your ant batteries and intercooled battery packs for better ones, and replace your drive motors with E-teks.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase

E-Teks don't fit, and the battleshots had Haunt 2, which has a better battery setup.

You're a noob? then what does that make me ... a super noob?
Any of these bots could annihilate my bots in 30 seconds flat and still have enough energy to do 500 push ups while looking after a bunch of hyperactive 5 year olds running around like crazy, dismantling everything and beating each other up - if you get what i mean...
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 27, 2008, 04:36:26 PM
But I built all of those besides Botmower before registration even opened. I am better now.

The new and improved Thor 2

I added an anti-Naryar bot protector, and got, bigger, grippier tires so my bot can still reach the ground. It has 3mm Plastic.

Post by: Madiaba on August 31, 2008, 09:02:36 AM
*I take it the extra unused weight is due to some armor being removed for visibility.*
The design is good, and seemingly could be tweaked even better if you shrank the chassis and then added more power, weaponry or armor.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 31, 2008, 09:23:28 AM
Yes, there is normally a 30kg Titanium Sheet on top but I had to take it off so I could get a pic of the inside.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 31, 2008, 09:47:38 AM
Anti-Naryar bot? Don't get too confident. My RAW bot isn't gonna aim for the belly. You'll see.

By the way, this chassis is too big for what you put inside and i bet you can find better wheels.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: System32 on August 31, 2008, 11:04:06 AM
I bet that if one of those hammers falls off the bot will start to shake, allowing for a weapon failure.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on August 31, 2008, 11:22:00 AM
Well it won't shake that much because it has two spinners and the spinner bars aren't too long, but yeah, his wedge will become useless if one hammer breaks..
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on August 31, 2008, 11:28:02 AM
It does shake if it comes off, but I will put it into perspective: It got three hammers off of MAKO before one of Its hammer's came off.

Also, The other tires were either too big, too small, or not grippy enough.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: System32 on August 31, 2008, 11:39:38 AM
Well, that's it's weakness. A bot can take an advantage at that point.

Besides, We don't know the opposition. I'll definetly lose to you, because my bot's a Wide load/Coal miner hybred.

Possibly Face spinners on Pistons? If it attacks the front it is toast, because those hammers will destroy its weapons. Post a pic of it.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: System32 on August 31, 2008, 12:35:47 PM
My copy glitched and I had to re install.

It's two face spinners on a very wide frame with large wheels for invertibility. It's weak against all wedges but can decimate other bots.

Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase

The batteries normally become a problem two minutes into the fight, so I think it is okay because it will either destroy or be destroyed by that time. Can't wait for the splash.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on September 07, 2008, 06:24:16 AM

Who here actually edited their bot 4 times before BBEANS?

Clockwork Hydra doesn't looks that destructive. These wheels aren't grippy at all, and you have empty space in the chassis.

Also, DSL tribars are heavier and more fragile than stock tribars...

The motors are NPC Fast, and countless batteries, that I know power the Betas to full power.
And if you don't think that the 30kg sledge hammer on a Perm 80 is weak, look at the points between Hawk 2 and Mako.

And for a strength test, that is Mako waaay over in the corner...landing

That has got to be the second ugliest DSL bot I've seen.  (The first ugliest is an unshowcased bot built by FB).  Don't mean to be mean here, but the huge, boxy chassis, plain skin, and tiny wheels in the back don't make a good combo.

But it looks like it can fight a heck of a lot better than it looks.  I haven't yet seen a double Beta flipper that also has a secondary active weapon.  Dunno where you found the weight for that, but it looks good.  My only suggestion would be to add a skirt wedge in the front, to make it easier to get under bots.  And give it a better skin!
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 20, 2008, 03:17:12 PM
2 Things
1. The skin will probably come soon
2. It was my first succesful try at a HW Flipper with Betas, and I wanted to make sure that the Betas had full power, which they do :-D

Edit: Hawk 1 had a skirt wedge, but I think I did it wrong because it was actually HARDER to get under the other bots.

It doesn't look much like a "Ring of fire". Mabye instead it should be called "Saw of Flame" or "Firesaw".

The original had more of a ring, because it was all flamethrowers.
Also: I will now make a Hawk 3 with th WORST paint job ever, just to make it the ugliest bot ever, while th skin is in the works.

Any tips on how to skin in Paint or Irfanview?

Do either cost money, and are those also what is used for splashes for bots like what Sage sometimes does?

You can even make splashes with Paint.

No, Gimp is short for "GNU Image Manipulator Program". It's free and i find it great. Open licence.

Sorry for the DP, but here is a bot design I am working on that I have searched and is unshowcased.
1. A bots with 12 saws on a disc. I had a revelation that, the saws have around 3000 Hp, and 400 Dp, and the only other weapons the high are the Fluffy Blade (60 kG), and the weak Light DS Tooth.

Here is a flipper bot called Asplode. A few months back, I tried to make a "piston flipper", but I couldn't get an effective design, so I decided to resurrect the design in DSL
This bot has a HUGE Havoc every time the Storms are launched, bigger than any Rupts.
A time lapse of a flip will be up soon.

Yea, i like the sawblade one. I built sometime ago a DSL MW SnS/horizontal sawbot, but it wasn't a good fighter.

For the piston launcher, I would suggest a better flipper, eg skirts and not all these flipper parts.

There is empty space!

And the orange batt powering 2 astroflights... "LOL"
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 24, 2008, 06:04:32 AM
These were not built to be fighters, just to test ideas.

Also, there were the motors that look like RADs there before, and I forgot to mention another featur... Doubled Tires!
You just take a motor with a long axle, and put 2 tires on it, so that way one can come off and you can still drive.

Edit: The Time Lapse. Remember to look at the time on the bottom of the screen

Post by: Madiaba on September 24, 2008, 06:25:51 AM
SB, the SawTester looks cool and effective. But I could foresee the vulnerable sides issue, and maybe a SRM prob too.
Maybe your saws idea would work better as a (non-SnS) HS; more stable, no side protection issues, ...  I actually have made 2 and they're pretty effective.
Oh yea; and I would echo with Nar as a (factual) mantra, make sure there's 'no empty space'.

Post by: Naryar on September 24, 2008, 06:56:44 AM
Really nice! I love that launcher. When I'll get back to RA2, i'll try that piston launcher ideafor some fun, because I never got the rupt glitch to work (excepted when fighting with Click's rupting popup in The Pys AI pack, but that wasn't me)

Oh, and you should add a weapon or two on that flipper, even weak ones... because 18 damage...
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase

Don't use that motor.

That weapon sucks, use this weapon.


Here's a tip: Some people actually like using those parts, and if you use any part correctly, you can make a good bot.

How is this not obvious?

Post by: Naryar on September 24, 2008, 11:18:33 AM
My dear S32:

-every good bot has a tight chassis.

-the "that motor/weapon sucks, use that one" isn't true in DSL.

example: in DSL, the only bot that uses a lawnmover blade owns (ant HS) and in stock it sucks (MW HS)

Lets not start a flame war now, I only used Storms to try and make it a Mw.

^ That was originally going to be the upgraded ALARM for the DSL 2.0 AI.  But after FB finished it, we both decided it was far too ugly to include in DSL (in addition to other performance issues, but the main thing was ugliness), and so I made RED ALERT instead.

Still, FB's original prototype was so ugly it's funny, so we decided to keep it around.  What makes it even funnier was that it started out as a serious bot; FB didn't even try to make it ugly.

Thats a horizontal hammer, there is no space for even firestorm pistons(unless stacked)

It looks good, but wouldnt it get destroyed before the other bot gets inside?
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: infiniteinertia on September 27, 2008, 10:12:24 PM
definitely 10mm steel i'm guessing by the lack of components and its weight.

You guys did good it has 2 linear actuators, but only 5mm Steel. ICM got beaten before it could KO it(although it only had the top spinner left)

I saw the name "Snuggles" and instantly thought "Huggy Bear".  Betcha one of Huggy Bear's fights is the video that inspired Somebody.

Bots look pretty good, but Asplode 2 is severely drive-challenged.  FYI, using two wheels on one motor doesn't make you any faster.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on October 02, 2008, 03:15:53 PM
Asplode 2: It actually drives alot better than you would think.
1. I put to wheels for possibly better grip (I didn't know if it would help or not) but the main reason was:
2. If a bot knocked off the outside wheel, there is still another wheel to drive with.

The inspiration was Madiaba's BigtimeWrestler bot in the Mad's Mods. The shape was inspired by Huggy Bear though.

I can't really see well...

No, wait, this is a Perm 64-powered drum... Are you really sure a drum will fair well in a tabletop? Because this perm is visibly attached to the chassis and IDK what you're gonna do with a vertical perm in a tabletop.

By the way, you seriously need to have less ground clearance and grippier wheels.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on October 05, 2008, 09:12:30 AM
Wait, so everything that is attached to the baseplate has to stay?

If so, I need to start rebuilding.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on October 05, 2008, 09:46:31 AM
Yes! Have a look at the rules.

You can't change/move:
-the chassis
-everything that is directly attached to the baseplate(excepted that you can rotate the skirt hinges, but not move them), the battery/airtank setup

You can change:
-everything that is attached to a baseplate component (wheels, weapon heads, skirts, etc)
-the chassis type of armor.

Drum and flipper? Unefficient hybrid. With the flipper flipping the bot, the drum will spin uselessly 3/4 of the time even if you get under the other bot.

I mean, in AI! The AI will fire the flipper every time it can and the drum won't do much damage .

It would be a good hybrid if the flipper was used just once to get the other bot on the drum. But this is something an AI can't do.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase

I think he might mean he replaces the flipper on the TT & the drum in battle. As in they're interchangible.

Aaaaaah ok. That makes sense.

You're gonna use the same bot for two of the competitions? Giga did tell he will higly prohibit it...

(Although I do agree with you, because I can't figure how to change my KotH bot to deathmatch one)
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on October 06, 2008, 07:03:09 AM
There are 3 different drums. A powerful one for Deathmatch, a rugged one for KoTH, and one with extenders that flips bots.

I actually thought of that design for my bot, a modulable classic VS (disc) with non-damaging parts for the tabletop...

But the problem is that there's NO way a classic VS can win a tabletop or a KotH. VS have generally low drive train and drive train (and a good wedge) is king on tabletops. Without mentionning their unstability.

Indeed.

Although stacking the battlepacks in the motors is nice.

I like the weapons because of the long reach and 336 DP, which is better than Iron Spikes. I had the weight anyway. There is actually some room under the mags, and I could raise them up, get rid of some armor, and put some more in.

I guess that with your actual bot building skills and experience you cant realize that even Scv4 bots can be upgraded...

No bot is perfect.

Naryar: SCv4 will be the hardest AI pack to date. There will be quite a while until there is a list bots that can beat the AI. Personally, If there is no perfect bot, then why try to perfect the ones already created?

No, i'm sorry, but this bot has mediocre defenses and the weapon can be stopped quickly. Most of the RAW bots would win against this, and i bet Headache 3 could beat it. And i'm not even speaking of ICM.

The bot can consistently beat Mako. Those bars you see over the motors are guards for mean hammer bots.

This pusher design risks going under the other bot and get OOTA first..

The KotH one can be flanked by another bot and lose a wheel easily.

Final thing, these are too fast (and not destructive enough) for horizontal spinners.

You could definitely use these 2kgs for a heavier spike/extender.

Otherwise, very nice.

I just noticed the tabletop bot has snapper wedges: in that case it is going to pwn.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on December 17, 2008, 12:14:45 PM
I was thinking of changing it to a razor spike. If it had that, would you accept it?

And the extender has never come off of the bot before. Even when it is wide open after a sledgehammer falls off.

Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on December 19, 2008, 12:29:50 PM
3 or 4 I think. The wedge is okay, but bad on High-speed collisions. The body is hard to hit though ;) . It is nearly impossible to hit from the back. It gets under Backyard Shredder's wedge with ease (low-ish speed), but Idk if that is a good wedge or not.

Post by: Naryar on December 27, 2008, 08:31:31 PM
Not too bad, but still :

-Overpowered. I think 3 battlepacks and 4 ant batts would be enough. Will be lighter for the same total power.

- A near-85kg hammer head (weapon plus extenders) on a Mag Snapper, is, well, more than heavy.

-Rather than all these DSL bars for defense, i would put either heavy snowplows (if you want pure defense) or a weapon rack, Big Metal Friend-style.

-With a wedge and all that external plating i don't think it needs as much as Titanium 5.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on December 28, 2008, 09:43:44 AM
I like how the bars can also work as rammers. I was just wondering what I should do with teh extra weight from the switching batteries. The Titanium 5 is because I had alot of weight left and no idea what to do with it.

Post by: Somebody on December 28, 2008, 10:33:47 AM
That rammer spike rack works better than I ever could have hoped. It holds any wedge at the perfect distance for the hammer, while doing damage.
There is now 4 red batteries and 5 ant batteries, anong with the other control board. (the blue one)

Water Moccasin is overpowered - you could even make that work with 3 ant batts, but i would reccomend 5 or 6.

And ugly as heck, but this is my opinion.

Pit Viper 2 looks well built although i would just use a bigger disk rather than steel extenders.
What? Whaddya said? Daisy Might? Well IMO it's better than risking being pinned by a fast bot lodging between 2 hammers, and there are not Blah's everywhere.

Sidewinder 2 - If this is a flipper, then i'm afraid to say it is unrealistic (upper snowplow)
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on December 30, 2008, 07:03:27 AM
Yes, Water Moccasin 2 is ugly as heck. But it is also indestructable as heck (just ask Condor33, hes seen it)
12000 hp sheet on top
A ton of spikes in front
about 5 or 6 titanium half sheets on bottom
and the motors at the back (attached to baseplate which=indestructable)
Also:
Grippy Tires
Invertable

Pit Viper spins faster than Daisy Might (less weapons).
So that means, less chance to hit the disk. I put the small disc on because that wouild make it harder to hit. Also, with a smaller disc, I could get a stronger disc. Daisy Might's main downfall.

I will make another HW.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase

But Pit Viper looks too much underpowered (technically you would need 2 more battlepacks for that dual perm).

Also i need a team picture - and don't you want to skin them?

If you skin them, just send me the exported custom textures.

Naryar: I skinned and sent them with what I think is the Teams.txt part of the team. When you say team pic, do you mean like with all of the bots in it?

Also, I don't have the template anymore for the bots, as it accidentaly got deleted with my old DSL.

You'd be better with REALLY grippy wheels (like Overkill's, Techno Destructo's or WBC's) and tougher clamping arms  on stronger bursts rather than motorcycle ones and all that heavy rear stuff that won't come into play if your bot faces it's opponent well, and it will with grippier wheels..

I think there is a glitch where if you uncheck the "snap to grid" button sometimes you can make the chassis a bit bigger than the grid.

Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on March 18, 2009, 08:20:56 PM
It was just an idea. And no, it wasn't a very serious bot. About on par in seriousness with Ring Of Fire. It just popped into my head that nobody had ever built and shown a treaded popup (or 4WD treaded anything) before, and that it could be something new, which this forum has sorely lacked of for some time now.

A: Sorry for freaking out, I was really on edge this morning for some reason.G lad it wasn't a problem.
B: In Somebody's defense, there is nearly no way to make a realistic popup, and that did look like an intentional freak. However, besides SHWs, four tread drive isn't very useful. In general, steer away from it.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on March 18, 2009, 10:28:07 PM
I think just saying "It's ugly" will suffice here.  Lay off the napalm everyone.

Also, if you imagine that bot with just one pair of treads, it would actually look pretty cool.  Perhaps give it 2WD E-tek drive with treads.

This is Firecracker Jellybean 1. It works fine, and spins well with no havoking/problems/etc. But it has the same drive issues as Iron Spaghetti

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/97185Firecracker Jellybean 2.jpg)

This is Firecracker Jellybean 2. It doesn't work fine. It can sort of drive in a straight line, just whenever I tell it to turn in the direction that the shell is turning it havoks uncontrollably. I had another Firecracker Jellybean 2, with no wedge, and 6 flail irons, but I added the wedge to try to get it to stop havoking, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Both have TWM3R2s for weapon power, and the second smallest drive motors (can't remember the name).
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Clickbeetle on April 04, 2009, 10:09:31 PM
Bots with a too-light chassis will occasionally explode.  You usually encounter this problem with AW's.  I'm not sure if that's what's going on here, but if it is, you can fix it with a bigger chassis or heavier armor.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38265FJ vs. HH.jpg)

Firecracker Jellybean is my Tag Team Tournament 2 bot (it is DSL LW right?)
It is also my probable BBEANS 6 bot, pending how it does in TTT2.

Also, some SnSnSnSnS battleshots
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/36771SnSnSnS vs. SJ.jpg)

Never knocked both plows off before with another bot, especially in a 3 minute-match.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/15031SnS vs. Spike Strip.jpg)

Spike Strip is a SHW top spinner that I have. I was driving it. Yes, that was a 3-minute WBP for SnSnSnSnS.

There is a problem with this bot and I need your help!
This bot spins at untold amounts of LW Speed, but there is a problem. SOMETHING is messed up with the drive train, I've gotten it to work a little bit before in the bot lab testing area, but never in a battle. I know its the drive train because no problems happen when I take the wheels off. It just turns a little bit in the direction that the bottom piglet turns, then havoks. When it isn't resting right side up, it is fine. It doesn't matter if the spinner is spinning or not.

P.S.: It isn't because the motors are mounted on a skirt hinge, because it did it without the skirt hinges too.



Here is the bot for anyone who needs to take a look:

Your situation occurs in 50% of my AW/BW bots, and I think the main reason is those particular drive motors, for some reason, havok uncontrolably. I also find piglets do the same sometimes. I think there is a connection with the chassis size, becasue it happens to me when my chassis is too small, But I am not positive.
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on July 22, 2009, 04:29:00 PM
Update: I have a version with shiny hubs. It seems that it havoks less with bigger wheels. I got it to work once against Flip Test Dummy. It got a hit of 3807 and KOed it in 17 seconds, then hasn't worked again.

3mm Plastic

2 Slimbody drive
2 Ant Batteries
1 Door hinge wedge

Most likely my BBEANS 6 bot, Hence the name (R for Ripterra, C for Chernobyl, Revenge)

Very Powerful

I bet you can change your extender work to flippermakers, you'll not only win a few hitpoints but 4kg as well.

Also the only reason you got such a powerful hit is because you're fighting a very powerful spinner and hammers, as all high concussion weapons, are good for active defense as they will deal more damage to other weapons when struck by them. This is the reason why my RED ALERT scored a 18000 point hit against an all-spike rammer.

Doesn't the weapon cut into the motor for Ripterra Returns?

That aside, I think you can make the chassis a lot smaller if you take out the orange battery and replace it with something else.

For RCs Revenge, I think it is very well built. However, I do not think having a wedge like that benefits these type of robots. I could easily be wrong, but will see....

can we expect a mw version of this design in CC3 ? lol
Title: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on November 21, 2009, 09:27:24 AM
Its a little less stable because its spinning faster and the position of the half-sheet on the bottom was changed to protect the polycarb extenders on the wheels. and it obviously doesn't hug the ground anymore with the big wheels.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/84203NAR vs LW.png)

A new LW for Naryar's pack. This VS has very good wedges and an inherent ability of getting under any wedges with the discs as long as they get up onto the wedges.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/15067NAR sns MW.png)
A pretty good MW sns with 2 60kg and 2 30kg hammers.
to be AIed with the moving SnS AI

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35897NAR drum HW.png)
Very good drum bot.
Has small drums with medium beater bars. Powered by Perm 80s
Don't think that they are too small for the job. Very good wedges allow the grinding drum to do a great job.
PS: It pwns HNM3.2 because its wedges are wider than HNMs, gets under it, etc.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/55012NAR hammer HW.png)
Last bot is a hammer in need of some work. Large JXs.
It just doesn't seem to be great in very limited tested. If it gets chassis hits though, It has scored up to 5200 on just a chassis hit. Lotsa potential.


Pleezpleezpleez comments and criticism to make these bots the best they can be so they can put up more of a fight in Nary's AI pack.
Still working on the last 2 bots.

EDIT: ZOMG IMMA ADVANCED USER YAYAYAY!

Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on December 09, 2009, 02:58:20 PM
Because of the 100cm extenders having to self-right the bot, the hammer`s starting points are kinda far back. This puts the razors far up into the air and makes the bot top heavy, so it tips when turning without those.

It self-rights quite well.
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: The Ounce on December 09, 2009, 04:34:28 PM
LW:  I'm kind of worried about those external TWM3Rs.  I think it would be better with TWM3s because they have more HP and give it a wider stance = better turning.  Extender work could be lighter as well.

MW: Overpowered, 2 ants is enough for this.  The 30kg sledgehammers would perform better if they were attached the same way as the 60kg ones.

HW #1: Not really sure how it can be improved, but I think it only needs 6 ants, and I'm worried about those DSL bars.  I think the setup would be better if the wedges were attached to flipper segments and had a metal skirt protecting them (although I find skirts harder to work with :P)

HW #2: You could get better stabilizers by removing a few razors and attaching metal skirts to a baseplate-mounted halfsheet.  If you can find a way to add another plow and arrange them in a V-shape to trap opponents, then that would be nice, too.
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: JoeBlo on December 09, 2009, 06:41:36 PM
the SnS looks good, seems like a bit of a nice new way of doing it.. kinda original

hmmm.. cube chassis aye ?  ;)

but yeah I would do as ounce said and change the attachments on the 30kg ones

whats the Armour on it ?
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on December 10, 2009, 06:05:40 AM
LW: What Ounce said. Also you don't need a double wedge.

MW: What Ounce said - 3 ants would be better (maybe even 4) though since you want to use FBS.py it needs more battery power than a normal SnS

Drum: Beware the metal hinges they have really low HP, also your wedge extender work isn't the lightest. Might AI that with my new Drum.py as well.

Hammer: Use skirts rather than extenders for the self-righting extenders since they are lighter and tougher.

I prefer the design with 2 heavy plows and stronger drive with less razors, because a good hammer needs to pin it's opponent correctly - but the hammer's reach and sheer number of weapons could make up for it against shell spinners though.

In overall they look good.

Uses SnSnSnSnS's chassis. A CC3 reject. Fixed the hammers

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/126NAR hammer HW 2.png)

A made the V plow and it works wonders, also curved the hammers a bit more. Got some pics of Sheck Spinner pwnage, will post later.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/82026NAR drum HW 2.png)

The drum looks a lot better. :-) I but in Perm 80 Ls instead of Ms, to get more clearance and make the end drums have the same size beater bars. very good gut-ripper.
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on December 13, 2009, 10:45:54 AM
You might be able to lighten your weapon attachment extender work if you used just skirt hinges.

On heavyweights, heavy plows are great for trapping if you put them on a V-design.

Silly little SSG... UHWs dont fit in the small arena! (at least not 3 of them)

And if there is an AI out there, I was thinking of this for an idea:
Both bots will wait at the start of the match for 5 seconds or so, while the big UHW bot chooses which of the two it will go for. Somehow the  bots will tell which one it is headed for. The one it is headed for will stay in spot, while the other will come up behind the big bad UHW and flip it out.

Fun Fact: Hammer of Judgment is actually heavier than Hammer of Justice.  Justice is only 600,000 kgs, about the weight of 2 fridges.  I forget how heavy Judgment is, but it was designed to be able to shove overloaded fridge tanks around without slowing down.


Now the problem with flipping Hammer of Justice would be getting the right leverage on it.  But in theory, you could do it.

Even though I was driving Bisector, its harder to drive than it looks, so I'm still testing it against Existence 7.


Hence why I spent so much time making a custom AI.  Driving Bisector accurately requires more fast thinking and coordination than I'm capable of.


Still, that screenshot has me a bit worried...

Bot sucks, but discovered a new glitch.

When you attach a whyachi tribar to any motor, if you axle load the tribar way off of the axle, you can attach other things under the tribar, which then stay on when the bot goes back to the Dual Perm to become extra weapon holders.

I'll get some pics up of the glitch in a bit.

Post by: Bubbleman on June 09, 2010, 10:12:25 AM
I saw that, when i was attaching the red brace of the tri bar to a (rubbish) SoW replica, but i didnt know that it could do that! wow, I would not have discovered that in a million years! Great discovery, Somebody.

Step 1: Axle Load out axle to a reasonable length away

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98216Glitch%20Step%202.png)
Place Whyachi Tribar over axle and hit the control to make the axle spin. The axle should fly back to the dual perm. Then attach the tribar.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/98055Glitch%20Step%203.png)
Place second Whyachi Tribar on first tribar

Test Garage and back, and presto, two whyachi tribars.  :mrgreen:

You know, I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that logically, there must be another attach point on the Whyachi tribar, but for some reason I never consciously realized it was there.



This could be realistic if you did it with a hex plate, or perhaps one of the small tribars.  Alternatively, it could be realistic with two Whyachi tribars if you put them on an extender first so they didn't intersect the motor.

This is what you need for top building, and it is in no way mandatory. As your aggression-filled brain cannot comprehend, i did not killed the game, merely CHANGED it.

Further proof is that PLENTY of people are still playing the game, and there is no such thing as a gam purpose.

And about the 4 parts to use, i am still struggling to balance ALL of the parts so we get more parts to use efficiently, but this is something you probably ignore.

Finally, it's not my fault if some people want efficiency at all costs. I just try to bring them on a decent building level, not to make them top builders.

Exuse my anger, I'm just watching this place wither while you are feeding an enviroment that only allows those with intricate knowledge inside the botlab or creativity outside the game to actually be able to do anything. I'm also blaming to few people, and to few factors as well. You did change the game, and that change was to cut it off from many newer members.
Further proof is that PLENTY of people are still playing the game, and there is no such thing as a gam purpose.
This game never had a purpose, and very few of these people are actually at any "Skill" to be able to compete competitively.
And about the 4 parts to use, i am still struggling to balance ALL of the parts so we get more parts to use efficiently, but this is something you probably ignore.
I do understand that, but the truth is that this will do next to nothing.
There will be subtle differences in efficiancy, and the time it takes to find them has only been shortened thanks to people like you and STW.
Finally, it's not my fault if some people want efficiency at all costs. I just try to bring them on a decent building level, not to make them top builders.
Well, it is. YOU encouraged them, you pushed them and you still think that this is a good thing.
You've made a gap in the game and you're widening it, the gap will become too hard for people to jump too quickly, and when all the competant players finally leave, the game will die.

I'm just watching this place

Just watching ? Sure that is better to watch  and do nothing more than criticizing other people rather than trying to change the game.

You did change the game, and that change was to cut it off from many newer members.

"Many" are the noobs that cannot take advice. Most newer members did improved to a decent if not good level, notably because i am giving advice.

and very few of these people are actually at any "Skill" to be able to compete competitively.

Very few ?

Myself ? Urjak ? Pwn ? Reier ? Ounce ? Pwn ? Scrap Daddy ? Virus Bomb ? 123savethewhales ? 090901 ? Click ? Joe ? Maybe Somebody ?

And i'm sure the list will grow larger.

I do understand that, but the truth is that this will do next to nothing.

We will see. Sure there will be slight differences, because the components will never all be on equal footing for reasons you can guess, but if i can make 40 weapons worth using rather than less than 20, it's worth it.

You are wanting to rebalance stock as well with Catagore AFAIS ? Well, same here excepted it's not stock.

Well, it is. YOU encouraged them, you pushed them and you still think that this is a good thing.

Yes, i encourage people to build more efficient designs, but i am certainly not encouraging them to worship efficiency like crazy. Did you see the number of times i called "KLONE" on a bot even if it is efficient ? I am all for diversity in building.

You've made a gap in the game and you're widening it, the gap will become too hard for people to jump too quickly, and when all the competant players finally leave, the game will die.

For now i haven't seen any player leave because DSL was getting too difficult. Plus, 123 said it - building is no longer evolving as such a rate, it's all about what bot type beats the other one. I am quite confident DSL top building skill will get to a maximum in less than a year and won't get infinitly hard. Ever saw how guys like MartyMidget and Vertigo are improving quickly, MUCH more than my own learning curve ?

And there is no reason the really skilled players should leave.

With true sawbots (as in using the saw blade part) it doesn't seem to matter all that much. If you are using the replica disks, then Perm 132s can punt opponents better.

Well that requires a rebuild if I do say so myself. Totally forgot the whole one ant per motor thing. :P

Armor does not seem to important here as much as more blades. I will see what I can do with a chassis redesign, maybe a switch to Perm 80s and another motor or two and see where that goes. Probably will come tomorrow at some time.

1 NPC-T64 Fast =2 (Because we fully power the drive, right? Please say yes so I don't feel more stupid today...)

NO !!!

At least, you don't need to fully power the drive. 2 ant batteries per spin motor is really when you have plenty of weight remaining. 1 per motor is minimum, but 1 1/5 is fine (aka 3 ants for a 2WD rammer)

How does it spin so fast to make everything come out like that?

And for the record, I just tried to make a Shoop with TWM3Rs. Spins faster. more damage, buuuuuut it has an unsurprising tendency to lose the motors. More like 2 out of 3 first hits against Lock Nut. Then it survived the first hit the third time but eventually lost a motor.

Thats the advantage of Piglets, they have 8000 HP if I remember correctly.
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Pwnator on July 24, 2010, 10:08:49 AM
NPCF+Hypno+Perm 80 combo makes it glitch out on occasions (unlike NPC+Techno combo, which will always glitch out).

As for the HP problem, I've never encountered that on my bots, but try this: main extender -> 20x40 bar with APs facing sides -> Mag attached on side AP (the one that can't be hit by bots) -> weapon setup. This might work.

New SnS. Plastic 3. I went through every part of Shoop and I think this is my best SnS yet. NPC Normals so they have a ton of hitpoint. Piglets for the hitpoints, Flippermakers to lengthen out the side before the steel 40cm skirt to make it realistic. Motorcycle wheels for high HP and very wide reach.

Probably the best SnS/HS Middleweight I have built.

Not only realistic, but it makes it sweep wedges better.

P.S. I just realized that the FNF hit was SnSnSnSnS 3. XD Its problem was a bit of unrealisticness and a terrible weakness to anything wedged (no half-sheet). So it failed at life, as I had said earlier. It had 4 ants.

I understand the reason for the wedge, but to me it seems like it would keep opponents from hitting the hammers.  If this happens often, consider using something shorter than a skirt, or (I really don't want to say it...) the other side of the skirt hinge.

To an extent. They as a LW type really just cannot get the big hits, and wasting all the weight on the hammers means you sacrifice armor, and also leave the chassis exposed, a recipe for disaster.
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: NFX on September 09, 2010, 07:21:18 AM
That's true. LW Hammer Rammer vs. Razor Rammer, I think 80% of the time, the Hammers would win, if it's like Somebody's last one. Razor rammer will score a huge amount of points early on, but then they'd all just break off, and the hammer rammer would slowly rack up the points over the whole three minutes, probably outscoring the Razor rammer in the end.
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 10, 2010, 10:11:24 PM
Exactly. But against Flail SS, or popup, the rammer doesn't have a chance. (well, if its lightning quick like 1.8 it does, but not big lumbering ones like these)

Looks really good. It reminds me of Shoop or Whoop (I can't tell the difference off the top of my head). I don't know if it won't be invertable but I would use different wheels. What are the Steel extenders on the end of the flail and the static wedges for? Otherwise I really like it.
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Somebody on September 18, 2010, 12:31:48 PM
Technos: Too short
Overkill Wheels are to tall. WBC wheels are almost to takk to be stable, but the poly sheets give it stability.

Those extenders protect the weapon extenders from weapons and walls. I first hit the problem with Satanic Syclone 2, and copied the idea from Interceptor (BBEANS 3). Harcsa used them to protect the ends of extenders, which are vulnerable to hitting walls (when spinning), or getting hit by other weapons. They work great.

Took Nary's advice and removed the plow, making it horrifically underweight. Was testing some weight wasting methods when I got an idea as multiple NAR AI bots flied over the back of the robots weapons.
Skirt is much lighter, and LOOKS SO DAMN COOL. Titanium 1. A few extra weapons. And the back side wings got bigger for trapping purposes.

You can probably downgrade 10 extenders to aluminum so you can get that extra iron on the right side of the top row (which is top left based on the picture). :P

Nice bot, kind of like Patriot but more trappy.


But if you mean to replace the syllable 'for' with '4' in the name, you're doing it wrong.  It should be Lethal 4ce.  The way it is now, if you write it out, it's 'fororce'. :P

Wooorking on it man. I have some money saved up now, making about $3K over the summer so I should have some funds to sit on and see what to do with. Filling my time with plenty of car stuff though. Just joined SAE Baja at the school which should be a good timesuck, and I've been messing around with the LeMons car for a while. Plus sleeping, gotta get that sleeping in.

Also, there's a machine shop class at some point, so I'll get that all set up. We also just got 2 Makerbots that I haven't tried out yet either.  :bigsmile:

Finally built something. A flipper with an added twist. A problem with a lot of the flippers with the Beta motors is that they'll end up throwing the robot straight upwards, and from the middle of an arena, the opponent won't fly out of the arena, putting you in danger because you have to flip the opponents multiple times. This robot is my attempt at fixing that. I have a BSG set up to throw forwards in between the two large flippers. By launching them at the same time, the BSG gives the opponent forward momentum, while the Betas still throw it a mile and a half in the air. This makes the robot much more likely to fly out of the arena, or land on some sort of hazard. This also keeps the opponent in front of my robot, so it'll have less of an opportunity to get around the back and tear away at the tender innards of my robot

ohai. I can't remember much either, besides hinge wedges are very good, beta motors are sweet, and spamming ants is a thing to do. I think you may be right though, so I'll see how a rebuild would go. The giant orange ones are the most efficient IIRC.

Self-righting is sketchy at best but it can land some good sized hits. No idea how AIing would work since the steering switches when the hammers fire because the chassis flips over. Ohhhh well. Can beat most of the DSL 2.1 AI.

On topic: Why not try to build a flail hammer?
Title: Re: Somebody's DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on November 16, 2014, 10:38:20 AM
about your full body hammer... well you should be able to put a 3kg control board in there and i'm not too sure about the weapon extender work.

pretty sure that hammer setup can be more focused and not sure about these titanium and CF extenders.

So what should I practice building? Not really sure what's popular these days. I've figured out that DSL-S is what I always generally build but what are there more tournaments for and stuff?
You got normal dsl and irl for tourneys, otherwise just build whatever the hell you want.

I would say try some IRL as a lot of tournaments are IRL.
Then again i only build IRL these days so there's that.

Eh, CF if there because I had the weight, just to take a hit from the main extender. Not really gonna work on that one much since it's pretty junk anyways. I think I'll give some IRL a go...

Built a flipper, kind of toes the line between IRL or bad DSL but who cares. Plastic 3, Judge Bursts, 6WD TWM3R Drives, in the 750s because I'll rebuild it somedaaaaaaaaay.

Ooh, not too bad man. I'm reminded of Panzer MK. 4 looking at it. If you're looking for extra weight, the you could find a way to add some fake flipper pistons which will also make it look a little more IRL.

Very nice, I like the use of the spike strips.
As Red says fake pistons would be a great addition.

I tried a few times with different lengths of bars and different components and stuff. It's just so low profile that they'd always hit the ground when retracted.

IRL HW. Titanium 3, 2 NPC Fasts with Tornado wheels for drive, 2 Perm 132s powering 8 ripping teeth on large drums. I'm a fan.

Well, I kinda like it. It gives some off some vibe to... something. Maybe a shark.

Skin ideas please
You could use flames, Golden gradients, Graffiti, the color purple, or even use White Bread for your  skin. When it comes to IRL, the skin is where you can just have fun making stuff, I mean hey...

Plus I don't have any creative ideas for you. Sorry bro.

The main design idea was to look like REDRUM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1U4Smc6SV8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1U4Smc6SV8)) haha. From other angles it looks meh, but I love the weapon system, it's very powerful for an IRL bot.

I suppose a tornado of shark-riding dinosaurs is fine if the sharks have fricking laser beams attaches to their heads.

lol what even is this.

This isn't really going anywhere, (even if it is admittedly funny) so can we get back to the regularly scheduled showcase?

Yes but I would have to build more robots for that.
