"High ADC" ? What's the average damage per hit? That must make at best two or three times less damage than a good true popup !

AND you can't have both the heavy damage of a true popup and the powerful flipping ability of a pure flipper in a bot.

The Ounce · « **Reply #121 on:** July 18, 2009, 02:19:03 AM »

It was just an experiment, and also the last bot I will be posting here because I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks. I'll still try to keep in touch with the community though.
So much for originality...:-(

Edit: And I hate to say this Naryar, but you're the reason that I think I'm decent at DSL. Seriously I can never be as good as you:frown:

Here is the ADC page.

Yes you can, you just need to study DSL for a lot of time and pay really close attention to all his advice. I don't admit it often, but without him I'd be a grammatical LRA2 clone.

The snow leopard is back, with Torrential Upbringing, an experimental drum design (am I original now?):

And Iron Tumbleweed, a bot that you could say is the little brother to Torrential Upbringing (although Iron Tumbleweed came first), as well as a possible Clash Cubes 3 idea:

Stats:

Torrential Upbringing:

Technos on NPC Fasts
2 ant batts and 2 battlepacks
8 heavy DS teeth and 8 large beater bars on two Perm 80s
Snowplow and Ti halfsheet defense
5mm titanium

It's a nice gutripper, and has excellent speed and defense, but the weight distribution sucks and, as a result, has a wedge that's not that effective.

Iron Tumbleweed:

Vlads on Drive TWM3Rs
1 ant battery and 1 battlepack
8 Lightning Spikes and 8 razor tips on a Perm 80
Ti halfsheet armor and 80cm Aluminum skirts for stabilizers
3mm titanium

Doesn't have a lot of flipping power, but has good gutripping power. It's not that fast, but it's super stable even after losing multiple spikes. Defense is decent. The razors look useless but they're good at tearing off skirt wedges and help protect the weapon motor.

And now that the DSL King is gone, you will now bow down to your new feline overlord:evil:.

I really like the look of both of them, but IDK how effective they are. Does the HW's drum spin up or down?

The Ounce · « **Reply #126 on:** August 02, 2009, 08:42:46 PM »

It spins upward, like a regular VS.

Edit: And the effectiveness (at least on T.U.) depends on the wedge, which is sometimes effective and sometimes not, but, overall, it's above average.

And Iron Tumbleweed is pretty effective, I just haven't been playing around with it a lot.

Not bad. Has anyone told you to convert your pic to jpg or png? they are quicker to load.... and easier for the some of us that have slow internet ( not me :P)

Switch the lightning spikes with razor tips on Iron Tumbleweed. Razors are significantly more powerful.

The Ounce · « **Reply #129 on:** August 03, 2009, 03:44:45 AM »

Would love to R0B0, but what would that do to the durability?

And I did try switching to jpg for the splash that I posted in my stock showcase, but it seemed that the bmp version I made had better quality. I'll still try though.

And speaking of stock, I have an idea in my head that I may post soon.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #130 on:** August 03, 2009, 03:55:52 AM »

Durability dosen't matter when your opponent only lasts 20 seconds :P

Did u know that png has the same quality as bmp, but at the memory cost of a jpg.....

Anyway, really, put both designs in a AI violence fight.

Hell. when i did the naryar one i won.

----------------------------------------
anyway on iron tumbleweed what are the side spikes there for? :arrow:they may not hit the opponent.

Pwnator · « **Reply #133 on:** August 03, 2009, 08:18:01 AM »

^^^ O_O

Anyway, both look awesome. Can both self-right well?

[Edit] @ LRA2, I have a similar drum like that (but the motor's lower) and can actually piss Grog off because of the side razors.

life robot arena2 · « **Reply #134 on:** August 03, 2009, 10:15:38 AM »

I don't have DSL so i cant try Grog.

Did something happen to constructive criticism or something? Seriously, stop arguing!

They actually don't self-right well; I.T. has the same problem that Reaver has, and T.U. just moves around using the drum until it hits a wall and gets counted out.

I would like to spend some weight on srimech devices for the two, but I don't know what I could take weight away from.

Somebody · « **Reply #138 on:** August 03, 2009, 02:08:22 PM »

On the first one, remove the back wedge and see what happens.

The Ounce · « **Reply #139 on:** August 03, 2009, 02:16:36 PM »

That "back wedge" is rear support, and without it, the bot tips backward and the wedge is completely useless, which you don't want on a gutripper.

I was trying to have a drum with less exposed weapon motors; didn't turn out the way I wanted.
