Did you install DSL3 over DSL 2 or Stock? IIRC it was supposed to be stock...

Natster-104 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:11:47 PM »

Stock

Badnik96 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:12:25 PM »

Oh then maybe it is... I don't even remember.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #23 on:** March 11, 2014, 03:13:59 PM »

Well if you do see any other problems, be sure to let me know

No, the steel skirt. IIRC it isn't a DSL 3 part. I could be wrong here though, I don't play much DSL 3.

As someone who only plays DSL 3, there ARE steel skirts.

...polycarbonate, aluminium, titanium (which the skirt is) and steel skirts...

However, I don't believe there are aluminum skirts, as I believe Click stated alu skirts would be too weak.

Correct, there are no aluminum skirts.

As for the bot itself, replace the Vlad wheels with hypnos. Hypnos are lighter, grippier, and fit on NPC-T64s. You don't need Vlads since they are already well-protected, and it wouldn't be likely that they Hypnos would get hit by anything. You could potentially use the saved weight for stronger armor.

Will do that rnifnuf
but just quickly I wanted to get you're guys opinion, Ive made a prototype but should I make a smaller, more compact version of it?
I thought the idea of a crusher/axe:

And it's insides:

Thoughts/what do you reckon I should do?
Note: hitwise, it does about 800 damage on a good hit
and it can self right

rnifnuf · « **Reply #27 on:** March 12, 2014, 05:26:15 PM »

I like the idea, but it wouldn't fare well in the arena against a better bot. The biggest problem is that it is underpowered. Sure, there are enough batteries, but in DSL3, four WP836E are more favorable than ten ants, since WP836E have a higher electoral/mass ratio (electoral=battery life). Even then, you would want a stronger burst motor (use the next strongest VDMA R/P) and more batteries (use WP836E's or PC545's) and stronger armor. This is if you want to make it a heavyweight, but if you want to make it a middleweight, replace the ten ants with four WP836E's and reduce the size of the weapon. If possible, use a blue control board, lower the drive, and/or reduce the armor. Middleweights must weigh less than 399kg, so you have to figure out a way to shave off 119kg. But in any case, replace the ants with four WP836E.

Ok thanks again for the advice :) have also put that on the agenda

Naryar · « **Reply #29 on:** March 13, 2014, 12:46:59 PM »

yeah it's a nice idea but it seems overly complex and unefficient,

too much batteries as well.

and underweeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

Natster-104 · « **Reply #30 on:** March 13, 2014, 04:35:34 PM »

Ok fixed up Slash, I can make a Slash 3 for another day, anyhoo I looked at the comments of The Rake and thought to myself; both say its a good concept/idea (If Naryar, a great builder, says that

) and Naryar says its underweight, so I decided to make it even more! Took everything into consideration, I made this :D =

(I love the name) Does about 700 on a hit, REALLY fast and good weapon power, enough to self right
Here are it's insides:

And this is a spare bot I found down in the scrapyard, made up that it is in the same team as Slash:

And it's insides:

Thoughts?

One quick thing, don't use piglets for drive, they're not intended for that (unless DSL3 changed that, which I don't think it did).

DSL3 did not change that. Use Astroflights with Hypnos on Little Warrior, since Piglets were not intended to be drive motors and Hypnos are superior to Buster wheels, although Buster wheels aren't bad if there is no weight left. For whatever reason, drive power in RA2 is only affected by torque. Since astroflights have higher torque than piglets for less weight, they make better drive motors.

Also, what is the armor for each bot? Always post the armor so we know what you could have to work with.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #33 on:** March 14, 2014, 03:07:07 AM »

but aren't astroflights slower than Piglets?

Naryar · « **Reply #34 on:** March 14, 2014, 03:41:49 AM »

Maxspeed doesn't matter on drive motors. Torque does.

Natster-104 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 14, 2014, 10:56:36 AM »

Ohhhhh ok

Natster-104 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 17, 2014, 04:16:56 AM »

Rightyho, sorted out Little Warrior, sorry I haven't posted here in a while

Here are his insides, now with astroflights
armour is now Titanium 3
And this is his new skin:

Looked at BloodThirsty, armour if I can rememeber correctly is T3 or S3

Thoughts?

Badnik96 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 17, 2014, 06:00:29 AM »

I like Little Warrior, it has an early Robot Wars feel to it. Only nitpick I have is that you should make a gap in the CF extenders for the weapon.

Naryar · « **Reply #38 on:** March 17, 2014, 06:38:45 AM »

what's the point of the CF extenders ? they ain't armor

Natster-104 · « **Reply #39 on:** March 17, 2014, 06:50:19 AM »

I just offers a little protection, everything else was a bit too heavy
