TheRoboteer's Hit or Miss DSL Showcase

[TheRoboteer]

11/10
Reminded me about how I'm gonna fail my exams

Gotta get revising 

[TheRoboteer]

Building stuff for LDAI3 or whatever it's gonna end up being called. Here's my MW. 2 small VDMAs so it should be nice and powerful, and dual TWMR drive, so middle of the road speed wise. Fairly happy with how it's come out looks wise.

Big old vert. Somewhat inspired by Deadgnaws but I tried to put my own spin on it, plus I made it a shark instead of a crocodile :V.

It's currently about 70KG overweight for an HW annoyingly, so I may drop to 2WD to get it in weight. Nonetheless I'm pretty happy with it looks wise, though some areas are maybe slightly unclean.

 

Edit: Aforementioned HW version. Went from 4 NPC regulars to 2 NPC fasts. Also enclosed the wheels since some people raised that the wheels on the overweight version looked odd

Pretty unique and cool. I like the shark theme on it, as well as how you did the extenderwork to make the shark shape

Looks good besides those battery wires poking out of the side triggering the sh** out of me. Can we pretend it was on purpose? "It's the removable link"

Just for you

how about your bot vs deadgnaws and big bad wolf in a three way challenge match?

I'd be down. I think my 2WD, weight inefficient monstrosity won't stand much of a chance but it'll be a laugh anyway

I'll be down for this for sure: recently finished a new Deadgnaws so perfect timing!

[pokebro14]

sh** dude that looks epic

Cool challenge. Could host it myself it it wasn't for my laptop being crap for rumbles, as well as limited internet data and running my own tourney. Hope you all can find another host, like Bild, Nightraven, BSRaven, etc

How does Robogames arena best of 5 sound to you guys?

[Virus Bomb]

sounds good to me

Just a few updates this time round, nothing super new or exciting.

First off I made some updates to a really old bot where I thought the concept was good but the execution could use some improvement. It's an old balanced single toothed drum I made that you can see back on page 36 of this showcase. First change I made was to drop it to 2WD but with much grippier wheels so the speed is roughly the same as it was with 4WD. Using the weight I got from that I also gave it a srimech as the old version was neither invertable, nor had a srimech. The last changes I made were to give it hinged wedgelets since the old ones were static and did basically F all. Finally, I rearranged the ballast inside the drum just to make sure it's fully IRL, and make it a bit more stable. Really happy with this thing now.

 

And here's how I have the ballast inside the drum laid out. This was balanced by pure trial and error and was a real pain to do, but I'm really happy with how balanced it is now.

 

I also have a bot for Hop's LDAI 3 thing. I didn't want to just throw Sabre or Bocuma in, but I wanted something that would clearly be my build style, and would pose some kind of a challenge as my main HW, so I decided to take the core design of Sabre, but then make it more competitive at the cost to some of the sleekness that makes Sabre what it is. The same thought process went into my Robogames 2 HW Broadsword, which I have grown to really dislike, so this bot is something of a spiritual successor to that, but done right. It's basically Sabre but 20CM wider and with Storm Bursts instead of VDMAs. Looks a bit worse than Sabre, but fights way better and should prove reasonably challenging for anyone who downloads the AI pack. Will also be showing up in Fresh Metal.

smh I wanted to beat Sabre

He's just big-boned okay

Here's a hammer because I've pretty much exclusively been building verts and flippers lately. Really happy with the front end of it, but the beta motor forces me to make the bot a lot taller than I really want it to be, so it doesn't look as good as I think it could. Maybe I'll just swap the hammer to a vert instead 

In terms of specs, the front is pretty much all steel, rest is Alu as usual. Drive is 2 TWMR2s. Weighs like 789kg.

Have you considered an OK motor? Or is that a toxic CB2 component for ya?

It's less bad than the flat, but I'd still rather not
