Id be much happier to see it with just 2 DSL Hammers and more wedges/speed/armor....But I dont know DSL like Urjak, R0b0, Nary, Reier...

Plus, Pinball was a rip off of something else, just much much better :P

Is that a stab at Haymaker?

Reier · « **Reply #101 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:19:23 PM »

It's pretty good, but I can imagine it having a long spinup time.

Pwnator · « **Reply #102 on:** July 08, 2009, 08:38:59 PM »

Very awesome space management. :D

But they're right. Use less weapons for a faster spinup time and spend the weight on armor, etc.

Heard of Inertial Deathlock III?

Sorry for the DP, but I had an idea that might work. On your LW popup, remove 1 of the razors & replace the bottom skirt with a metal hinge. Your wedge will be way better, and the weight will be the same.

Thanks Reier! It's been a while since I received constructive criticism in my showcases. I'll see what I can do. BTW nice showcase video, but why was I the only one to rate it?

Reier · « **Reply #106 on:** July 11, 2009, 05:05:35 PM »

No one likes my videos... =,(
On Youtube anyway, I'm the king of awsomness here! =D

Here you go Reier:

But I still don't get how to make the metal hinges work for me.

And Pulsar goes through yet another sub-revision:

Armor was improved, but nothing was changed internally.

Sweet. This is now one of my favorite DSL showcases. :D

Hell, it might even be better than my rebuilt Poison Stinger...

Damn right about that:

There's no point to this post except to say that I'm impressed by Nar's AI pack Alpha 2 (I didn't have Alpha 1 because I suck at AIing). Though most of the LWs are still no match for Stiletto, it's still a pretty challenging AI pack. Good work Naryar!

Naryar · « **Reply #112 on:** July 12, 2009, 05:15:56 PM »

Simply put, I am aiming for the NAR AI to be the Starcore of DSL.

Oh, and just you wait till Beta. You'll have MUCH MORE quality lightweights to fight...

EDIT: and i'll take a look at what you sent me soon, expect some feedback.

The Ounce · « **Reply #113 on:** July 12, 2009, 05:17:57 PM »

I'm looking forward to it. BTW what's the status on the team that I sent you?

Somebody · « **Reply #114 on:** July 16, 2009, 10:44:11 AM »

I've looked through this showcase, And many of the bots you've built are very good. Nice job Ounce!

The Ounce · « **Reply #115 on:** July 17, 2009, 04:09:05 PM »

A design I've been experimenting with:

NPC Fasts with Vlads
4 PC545 Batteries and 6 Battlepacks
9 razor tips on a Beta burst motor
5mm titanium and 4 titanium half-sheets on the bottom
wedge consists of 2 80cm titanium skirts on metal hinges and a titanium sheet

It's what I consider (or what is supposed to be) a flipper/true popup hybrid. It's really just a prototype, and thus still has some empty space. It's also slow and doesn't have very great defense either. It does however have a very powerful weapon and does well when AIed also.

And for those who say it's overpowered:

Adding battery always helps. Makes the swing more powerful.

System32 · « **Reply #116 on:** July 17, 2009, 05:05:31 PM »

Seems unrealistic.

I like where it is going though.

The Ounce · « **Reply #117 on:** July 17, 2009, 08:08:00 PM »

Updated:

More realistic, but I think I should get rid of that middle razor. Faster as well.

Naryar · « **Reply #118 on:** July 18, 2009, 01:49:00 AM »

I've been experimenting with such a design, and Betas suck as popup motors. They just don't have enough maxspeed.

Snooping as usual I see? Did you pay attention to when I posted the first version of the bot? Here:

It's supposed to have the weapon power of a flipper while also keeping the high ADC of a popup. It tosses heavyweights easily while doing hefty damage at the same time.
