Well, here's an idea I had:
People post your ORIGINAL bot designs (can be modifications of old designs, completely new designs, even new bot types!)
At the end of the month, I will judge all the posted designs and give the best design a prize!
-
Bah, I just put a tournament in discussion based on something like this.
-
And there had already been a tournament like that Stag.
-
If this is going to go forward, some one will have to post a bot.
Me :)
Havotic Uplift

Its a flipper robot with a flipper powered by 2 pistons, the whole flipper assembly fires upward and flips the opponent!
-
And then there's this that I invented:
The Full Body Flipper
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/73621screenshot_78.PNG)
As you can see, the flipper flips downwards, making the entire robot, chassis and all, flip upward.
-
That's not new, i've seen that done on WBC rep's in Pay tribute with replicas somewhere
-
nice to know Freeziez doesn't watch the videos of the tag team tourney I held :rolleyes: but yeah it's been done.
-
Sorry, but it's still a cool design.
-
I've made FB Flippers and FB Popups before
-
a cool design would be a side hammer where the side hammers are 2 spinning vertical weapons :gawe: , heck we hardly even see pistons mixed with horizontal spinners.. not sure if they'd work or if anyone has tried.
-
Wow, I hadn't expected to see this get such a quick response!
-
Meh, I suppose its too late to mention mah torque reaction popup (Which Nar and 123 have made epic versions of):P
-
It has to be something new.
-
I can always make something new and useless.....
-
It doesn't have to be something effective, just needs to be something new and fresh.
-
@km I have one of those in my showcase somewhere...
-
There is a Thread Like This already, the Inspiration by prototypes thread.

I tried that but they need to be really small and so aren't any good. A HS side hammer works better.

Hello? There are only a few days left before I pick the prize winner for this month.
-
cant I just post a link to my showcase? :P
-
XD
No, it needs to be something new.
-
most of my stuff is new :P
Edit: here is an idea me and Thyrus worked on like last year or something :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1868screenshot_11.JPG)
basically operating like a real life flipper expect there is no way to attach the pistons to the baseplate also, so we settled for limited arc axles.
-
Havok much?
-
none, it just battles to toss much
-
Use 2 storm bursts attached to each other.
-
no..
that does havok
-
lol, everything here is a flipper.
-
well I could give you flamethrower and servo robots but you said they dont count since I showcased them :P
-
Well, I made a new type of robot that I hope to dear god it's new, the Tribar Crawler!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/335970.PNG)
And it fares pretty well, I guess, in battle:

What do you think?
-
Well, it's essentially a weaponless crawler. But at least you thought of using other components.
-
It's because I always wanted to make Pressure Drop with the triangular legs that he had in S1, as so:

-
Not new.
-
Might as well enter with this. I haven't had any good ideas since then. :P

Cannot stand a simple truth ? That tribar crawler is not common, I'll give you that, but i am 100% sure it has been done before.
-
I bet not in DSL, though.
-
It has.
-
but i am 100% sure it has been done before.
regardless if it has or hasnt its nothing really new.. we dont call them Tribar HS's or Tribar VS's.. still a crawler dude.. but keep trying ;)
