Title: Tibsy's DSL Amalgamation (Showcase)
Post by: Tibsy on January 28, 2015, 10:01:14 AM
I decided to stop neglecting DSL and start working on some bots to show off.
Be warned! I'm not as good at building bots on DSL as I am on Ironforge, (well tbh I'm not even good on that LOL)

Well, to start off being totally unoriginal in terms of ideas.
Here's a Beetleweight version of Raven: Squawk! (Which I have entered in one of Badnik's tournaments, though without the Typhoon spikes!

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/49718Squawk!.png)

Adorable, but just as deadly. I reused a skin for Raven which was created by the talented Lemonism! (thank you!)

Also, maybe call it Fulcrum?

I saw that MassimoV was hosting another BattleBots tournament and after watching BattleBots 9 I thought I'd have a go.
One for every weight category (except SHW... I'm still working on that)

To be honest, I'm classing myself as cannon fodder for this tourney xD

Barney will probably do pretty decently. Just make sure the wedge follows the rules.

Cerialisation looks amazing though. I want it to do well.

MassimoV said that if the skirt hinge was raised up by one, it's not against the rules. But if he asks me to get rid of it, I'll angle the beater bars down.

And thank you. Funnily enough I didn't really think what to do with Cerialisation.

If you are adding a wedge to a LW HS you need to make sure your drive is sufficient. Else the recoil of the flipper will mess you up.

The MW looks badass. However, killalot claws have normals and are only decent damage-wise, so expect to be disappointed by the damage potential.

The HW I like. It is however woefully underweaponed. Are the Vladiator lifters static or are they flippers ? Any way I don't think you're gonna go under a lot of bots like that.

I'm going in as cannon fodder. It'll be a learning curve and yes the Vlad spikes are lifters.

Anyway I think I'll be just fine. Cheers though.

frenchie swore pls ban

Barney looks pretty ugly aside from the skin which I like.

Digitus looks solid aside from the way that the killalot claws are attatched to the DSL bars. That one part looks odd and flimsy, however the skin makes up for it and then some.

Serialization looks good for a simple design. I especially like how the hammer rests on the back of the chassis.

Anyway, here's a music themed bot, which I have ONLY PRIORITIZED THE SKIN!!!:

A new bot I've made with claws but... I need some help with the skin

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16136BK-W-I-P.png)

Should I give it a realistic look? (Proper fur textures, cat face etc)

Or keep it cartoony? (cartoon cat face, tail, solid pink 'fur' colour)
Title: Re: Tibsy's DSL Amalgamation (Showcase)
Post by: 090901 on February 22, 2015, 08:28:50 PM

Title: Re: Tibsy's DSL Amalgamation (Showcase)
Post by: Scrap Daddy on February 22, 2015, 09:30:56 PM
My favorite way to give my bots realistic skins is to put colors or textures over metal textures and then mess with their opacity.

Hemidemisemiquaver - Great name (And fun to say) and looks good skin wise, and imo the hammer looks pretty cool.

The cat bot with no name (It felt good to be out of the rain) - Cartoony would be better from a art-bot perspective, it'd give it a more "Cutesy" look, which would look better. Realistic look would fit in with the "Coolness" of Raven etc.

Tibsy, in general, your bots are still amazing, and tbh have actually inspired me to try and build again. On another note, I love the more positive and confident outlook! I remember when you were feeling down about your bots, and I completely know the feeling, and to see the pride is really awesome. Keep it up, dude :D

I find your music bot bothersome. And i'm not a former music student.

Well, I did some music in college but nothing more than basic education.

Anyways... the skin I find too much in-your-face. it has BIG DECALS and I think it would be better if more subtle; also, the blue texture under isn't that fitted to a "music" bot. Put something like these lines you write notes on.

The weapon is OK, though it could be made cooler, I believe.

about the other bot... *takes Tibsy's head in his hands, shakes it* IS YOUR NARYAR CRITIQUE CRASH HELMET STILL ON, LITTLE GRASSHOPPER ? BECAUSE YOU PUT THIS THING ON AS A CHALLENGE TO ME. AND I LIKE CHALLENGES.

Now as I was saying...

The other one needs a better skin. You can keep it cartoony, but please give your skin an edge line or two, because right here it's just pink.

It would work without edge lines and a more complex texture but simple color and no edge lines = no.

also try to give it ears (lightning spikes ? idk) and maybe side claws (reskin them bear claws, put them on side hammers) so it's a proper cat. maybe a tail.

Once you are done with shaking my head I can now respond.
You mean a manuscript? Maybe I could. But to you that may seem cool, but it might seem bland and boring to others.
The catbot is a work on progress that might never be completed, I dunno I had a lot of stuff happening recently so my hands are slightly full at this point.


(The blue texture is marble btw :3)

I thought about making a replica, so I decided to think up the easiest competitor bot:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/99820MorePandaMonium.png)

This is More Panda Monium, the robot responsible for cancelling the other events during Series 3 because it was dropped and suddenly it fired its spear which injured a crew member, this prompted Rex Garrod to leave Robot Wars until safety was improved (Rex never did return).

So yeah... I tried to get the top as realistic as possible but meh... The skin does annoy me...
Oh well, opinions on my first try at replica making?
Title: Re: Tibsy's DSL Amalgamation (Showcase)
Post by: RammingSpeed on March 02, 2015, 09:47:11 AM
You might want to put this in the replicas thread, but I guess this works.

I remember making a More Pandamonium rep ages ago and let's just say yours is better. I like how you tilted the piston like it was irl.

I think it might've caught him in the leg or something, nothing life threatening. It was this reason why the Sumo (among a few other events) was cancelled... Oh and the robot failed to qualify for Series 3 & 4 before they returned with Hot Pants & their antweight, Pants.

And thank you.

More Panda Monium: I personally hate the robot this was based off of, but you did a decent job of replicating it.  I do agree with you in that the top skin looks off.

The YTPer: Nice.  Though I feel like this needs bottom supports for the spinner.

If some of you remember, I uploaded pictures of my BBX entries:
LW - Barney
MW - Digitus
HW - Cerealisation

Now, although it got some praise, I wasn't really confident with Cerealisation, yes it looked the part but I thought it really wasn't good enough for the HW division. So I built a NEW HW robot to replace it:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35754TeaBoy-BBX.png)

It's a thwacker, risky I know. But it would be nice to see a few. Say what you like, I'm in BBX for fun and good sportsmanship.

Note: Cerealisation will be upgraded so it can compete in the SHW division (if I can complete it in time!!!)

No, I agree with Craaig. The skin is ok but the design in itself is somewhat bland and very weak and I don't believe your idea of fun is entering a bot that will get curbstomped.

IRL may not be all about combat efficiency, but it's still a competition.

Post by: Naryar on March 10, 2015, 07:20:08 AM
No, the skin is fine. the DESIGN is bland. It's just a 4WD box with a generic weapon. And that here weapon would be fine on a LW, but not a HW.

Make it more interesting, like a rammer/thwack hybrid. Probably you should use 2WD Technos with drive Eteks, because your drive is too weak if it has 4WD NPCF with Tornados like I think it has.

Or you can still go pure thwack, use 2 arms. You can however use a cooler weapon that just 70kg hammers, else people will believe you are entering a DSL-S bot into an IRL tournament.

Admittedly an IRL thwack should look like a DSL-Standard thwack... like drums.

Also where did all your weight go ? Armor ? I'm sure this bot should be 400 kg, maybe 300 kg... but not 800.

Tibsy, you're getting better. Try using some slot stickers so the wheels don't look like they're sticking out of the chassis. And what Naryar said, it sorta needs more weapons since it's a HEAVYWEIGHT.

You know specifying 'heavyweight' in all caps doesn't motivate me to improve it.
Thanks though! :)
Well there is always the cruiserweight (600kg) class which I was talking about earlier. But since you mentioned BBX and will enter there with it, forget what I said.

the thing is he's right. heavyweights kinda need 3x the amount of weapons that there is on a LW because they're  roughly 3x heavier.

of course it depends of the bot type but even on a hw popup this weapon weight will be unsufficient. On a thwack... see where I am going ?

We are NOT trying to piss you off or get you out of the forums or disgust you from DSL. At all.

We're simply trying to make you build better designs.

Simply, advice is not necessarily nice. Advice is simply advice. Take it and your building will improve. Ignore it and it will stagnate.

Trust me once I was only average in DSL. Then I grew up, with other's designs.

I apologise if my advice may have sounded too harsh or arrogant. It wasn't the point and I wasn't trying to be that. I was merely saying what was wrong with your bot, and trying to correct that.

To be honest Naryar... I'm kinda drunk... I have the upmost respect for you, its just my low confidence... When I take advice I think it means that I suck or I'm not good enough..

And while I'm being honest, yes. It did seem arrogance... Today's just not gone well. I'm going to bed.

everyone is attention seeking. yes this particular builder was attention seeking in the past, I called him out of it, it's past.

he's drunk of course he is attention seeking. besides this is said by Meme "hey i am edgy to people newer than me LOOK AT ME XD" Wylde.

To Badnik: While it would be his "fault" indeed, that doesn't mean we should ignore him and not give him advice so he doesn't get assraped first round

To Kurt: Can you just shut up edgy fool, your actions are encouraging Tibsy to give up on dsl, and we don't want that, RA2 is already dead enough

To Tibsy: don't give up on dsl, once you get the hang of it, you can do pretty badass things, just take a trip through scrap and vb s'showcases and you'll see what DSL can allow, also for that HW i recommend switching the current spikes on your tail with a hammer and maybe add a front wedge/plow/scoop so you could AI your bot so it shoves stuff with it when the tail is down, it would allow to score points, which would be crucial in the event of a JD or if your wedge has spikes or similar stuff, still allow you to cause damage

Had a brief play about on DSL3. This is just another practice on my bot paint schemes rather than building a serious bot.

Looking at it, it kinda does. And I know of the empty spaces left inside the bot, haha. I did state that this was more of a test on my skinning rather than actual bot building.

IRL Tournaments are quite illogical and have a really unbalanced meta, so I wouldn't worry about it, if you ever feel like you need to win just build drums.

You're a ghey wedge.
It's best not to insult members in my humble opinion.  All it will do is come back to bite you in the ass when you don't want it to happen.

But I do agree with him.  Maybe you can remain the wedge to something like a tounge so that is fits the General Chompsalot skin.  The bot looks fantastic other than that.  It looks like SABotage joined the army.

No, this is an IRL style robot and technically not a popup either since the damaging edge is faced the wrong way.
