Title: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on March 06, 2014, 06:18:39 PM
I ran out of ideas for my stock showcase, so i finally decided to begin a DSL showcase.
First up is an experimental full body drum spinner named Rolling Pin Of DOOM:

And the innards:

Next is a robot that i NEED assistance with, Metallicus:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/75145Metallicus.JPG)
And the innards:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/9194Metallicus Insides.JPG)
The main focus here is Metallicus, Rolling Pin Of DOOM is really just a show bot.
I need some ideas, desperately! :rage

For the way you're going, I would look at Scrap Daddy's, Virus Bomb's, Thyrus's, and NFX's shoecases. Rolling Pin is actually a great idea.

Pardon my double post.
Anyway, here's a walker i thought up, and it doesn't havok explode AT ALL!
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67713Walker.JPG)
Again, I NEED ideas for robots, so how about some suggestion on a type of robot I could make, then see how I can improve.
I seriously have nothing else that could be showcased, so need some ideas. :ermm:

The first thing that you should know about DSL building is that it is very different from Stock building. Everything has to be possible in real life, though not everything has to be realistic. This is where the two kinds of DSL building--IRL and DSL-S--differ. DSL Standard is more like Stock building, where the main goal is to make the bot as effective as possible. IRL building is where you try to build the best-looking or most realistic bot. You don't have to choose now, and you could become one of few people that do both. That would be cool.

As for ideas, try remaking some of your older Stock bots in DSL or look at other DSL showcases for inspiration. I have a DSL showcase, as does pretty much every other active builder that isn't Mechadino (he only does Stock).

Also I think that the walker bot is cool.

Also, what armor do these bots use? Always post the armor. Generally, the Titanium and plastic armors are the best, but Steel 5 is also pretty good. When you make showcase posts, post as much information about the bot as possible, such as armor, type of NPC-T64 drive motor, etc.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on March 08, 2014, 10:28:57 AM
Whoops, I forgot about that. :dumb)
I always use NPC-T64 Fasts on my bots.
Here's a slightly revised Sit'n'Spin'n'...Other Stuff:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54111Sit'n'Spin'n'...Other Stuff.JPG)
He's about 248 KGs
Heres the internals:

Here's a HEAVILY revised Rusty 1.5:

Weighs in at 397 KGs
And here's his internals:

By the way, are Judge Bursts allowed on IRL designs?
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: Shield on March 08, 2014, 10:35:10 AM
Rusty: You could just use a second skirt hinge for the plow. Also, You MIGHT want to use Judge Burst Motors instead. Might wanna try and lower the armor for more weapons.

SnSnOS: Try not to use Aluminum or Steel for armor. They are the least efficient, Plastic and Titanium however are better choices. Also, Techno Destructo wheels and Hypno Disc wheels are the grippiest in DSL. Might want to replace the rubbers with either of those instead.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: helloface on March 08, 2014, 10:39:47 AM
Yes, Judge bursts are allowed on IRL designs, but I have a tough time figuring put which of your bots are IRL or DSL-S; however since you're new here, that's okay.

It's probably DSL-S considering he's burst stacking the plow and the aluminum wedges

Don't use mag snappers or the stock extenders on the second one.

Read this: https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=5739.0 (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=5739.0)

The extender work is shown in DSL3, but it's universal to all RA2 versions.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on March 08, 2014, 12:38:56 PM
Those aren't Mag Snappers, they're Judge Bursts, and as for the extender work, I'll see what i can do.  ;)
In the meantime, here's a very slow but functional and non-havoking walker, which DOES use Mag Snappers:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38431Walker.JPG)
And here he is in action:

Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: helloface on March 08, 2014, 12:40:58 PM
Rusty shouldn't be using Judge bursts because it's not IRL.

Walker looks VERY nice however, I will say well done on that.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: Badnik96 on March 08, 2014, 01:04:03 PM
Walker looks sweet. I think it'd look better with a weapon, maybe a vertical spinner or axe?
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase

Yeah I think an axe would look great with it.

I don't know what to improve on SnSnOS.

For Rusty, you have two options:

If you're going for an IRL/Cool approach, I'd get rid of the sledges & titanium sheet and add something like a wedge or plow. Also weapon slots.

If you're going for DSL-S/Effective approach, you've greatly downgraded it. Do what you did with the last version of rusty, but mount the plow on a skirt hinge and get more razors on the weapon.

So, I'm assuming Rusty is DSL-S. Currently, try sticking to razors. And if you can, you might wanna go with a curved hammer instead.

Cheers! I just played with them and I like the concept. You do get some traction but it's kind of hard to have a walk pattern.
I did find a simple way to improve your green monster's walking by replacing you feet with wheels, which give some grip. It gets a little glitchy but doesn't havok. Alternating A and D will give you a good walk. Avoid having the chassis sliding on the floor because it appears to mess with the walking motion.


I always failed making walkers with pistons so cheers for your success, m8  ;)

pretty good for a newbie, you have a bit of uncleanliness in your bots that need to be fixed.

Really, if you build in DSL the best (read: non-crappy) weapons are razors, beater bars, typhoon spikes, large and small DS teeth, hypno teeth, and sledgehammers and sawblades occasionally.

Icepicks are fine for hammers but yeah.

spike strips can be used on wedges and rammers but are quite poor like you used them on your hammer. If you REALLY want to use them on a hammer use them so they are parallel to the hammer extender.

Post by: helloface on March 10, 2014, 05:36:49 PM
For 1.7, you don't need tite extenders for the weapon.
Also for the wedge you should only put one sheet in the middle or one on each side.

For 1.8, the extender work is terrible.
Razors do damage from all sides.
You should probably use two 40cm alu extenders, put two sideways 20cm extenders, then put two razors on that so it would look like this:

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/37194lel.png)

Use the same wedge I suggested for 1.7.


Also, for the future, never use multi-extenders outside of the chassis.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: Shield on March 10, 2014, 06:11:37 PM
So far, rusty 1.8 is okay. You have the curved hammer concept down. Might want to lighten up the extenders (use either alu or tite or maybe the glas one) instead in favor of more weapons. Don't make it curve inwards so much also, it's goal is to hit a HS without really going to close, so range is important. I think Sage has a couple of good curved hammers you can look at.

And yeah, don't use multi extenders outside the chassis.

with the main weapon was poorly supported in version 1.8, with more extensions, he must delve into the ideas, could also use the ramplate what are you smoking exactly (there are also other components that could test) instead of snow plow h, no matter have more than 8000 points but fits more the chassis giving other even better benefits what, the heavy plow is superior, PN-3600 batteries can be placed to one side of the BSG and then the chassis would reduce even more (it could also shape it, rather than be square), the wedge protrudes much that is not good do you even know how to build a wedge ? ....

If he doesn't know how to speak english, then he should just learn it or get out. This is an English-speaking community.

If he doesn't know how to speak english, then he should just learn it or get out. This is an English-speaking community.

Let me just try to clear some things up.
Naryar: I appreciate your help, just don't go overboard or anything with discipline.
This guy is new here, and while respect IS a priority, we mustn't scare him off.
At the moment, your doing good, setting things straight, just keep it at the level it is please. :smile:

if I should expect some good contruction of you, I could never write here
Look, I was being NICE!
And THIS is how you respond?
Make your own robots, and see if YOU could do any "better" at building a robot that peels oranges better than MINE!!!
Until then, please be a gentleman, and leave my showcase now. I'm only open to advice I KNOW is good for my bots. :mad1:

Don't give advice to moderators and then ignore it yourself and flip off anyways. Thanks.

if I should expect some good contruction of you, I could never write here

0/10 bad post

just stop both of you, if this continues i'll start and take action.
My apologies Naryar, I guess my temper, and a few tough days at school, got to me. :frown:
Here, I've made a robot dedicated to you as a token of apology:

Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: rnifnuf on March 20, 2014, 10:12:52 PM
Just remove the outer two razors and make the beaters medium. Even if they intersect the plow, it will still be realistic since part of the plow can be cut away to accommodate the beaters. The bot will weigh exactly 799.7kg. Just make sure that the bars don't intersect each other or the razors; either of those will make it unrealistic.

I really like it because of its spiky look

As a perfeccionist I must agree with marty on that plow but imo, it's just a minor detail about looks.
If looks concern you the most, removing the front plow might make it look nicer. On the other hand, if it's a question of efficiency in battle, let it be.

Personally I would replace the 2 top ram plates with the front plow.

Post by: Lemonism on April 18, 2014, 09:59:20 AM
Looks decent, but I don't think it needs a third wedge in the middle.
Also iirc the large ramplates really suck, so I would replace it with some titanium or steel sheets or something.
Can we see a view of the chassis and the back? I can't see how the drive motors are mounted.

Also, Rusty 2.0 looks pretty sweet.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: Elementos on April 18, 2014, 10:14:52 AM
Gotta agree with Lemonism; Don't use the ram plates because in HW competition they'll get ripped off in one hit. Also, The third wedge is unnecessary.

You could possibly replace the hex plates with hollow disks, that way you would increase it's range and also could increase the amount of weaponry on the blades. Other than that, It's pretty good.

Also - which tournament are you thinking of entering this in or is this not the bot you were talking about?

Yes

No

Get rid of the third wedge and use the weight for metal hinges, or two seperate skirt hinges. It's only the middle AP that's "wedgier" than hinges, and I doubt it.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: TommyProductionsInc on April 18, 2014, 11:02:24 AM
Thanks for all the feedback, but the third wedge is there mainly for backup support, in case the other two wedges get destroyed. It's also invertible, albeit barely.
I've managed to beat SHWs with this monstrocity, as well as most shell spinners, and robots like Hope No More, InfCon 7, and even a few robots from 123 stw.
I'll post the pics soon. ;)
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: Naryar on April 18, 2014, 12:43:35 PM
It's kinda nice but needs some cleanup. Ramplates are indeed sh**ty. You don't indeed need another wedge.

Try and make it properly invertible as well.

You could possibly replace the hex plates with hollow disks, that way you would increase it's range and also could increase the amount of weaponry on the blades.

And use more weight on extender work, and therefore REDUCE the amount of weaponry on the blades. nope.avi

ramplate advice is good though

That name is horrible, it sounds like something I would name one of my old jokebots (things like "TOP DOGE (LEL :PPPP)" or "DEATH DOOM SLAYER").

Remove the long ramplate and replace it with a titanium fullsheet. Remove one or two of the wedges too. Otherwise it seems decent enough.

The reason it's called Autistic Pride is because it's honouring the struggles of the autistic poeple.
And i'm one of them. It's not meant to be a joke, or intended to be offensive. I'll see if I can AI it after I modify it to your recommendations. ;)

Is Autistic Pride invertible?  If not, you might want to use beater bars instead of spiked clubs to lower the top hexes.  You might also want to use a DSL bar instead of a wide ram plate on top because the wide ram plate has pitiful HP, despite what it says in the description.

i failed at HnM4's wedge stop using it to prove your bot is good people.

Are you kidding?  I have like, two bots that can get under HnM4.  It is definitely one of the better wedges in Nar AI.

And before you ask, no I can't have it battle Rusty 2.0, since I forgot to export him and deleted him without knowing it.
You'll be seeing the likes of the Metallicus robots in BB9, in each weight category. ;)

Looks like a horizontal disc spinner with a crapload of armor.  Looks awesome, but it would probably be outweaponed by most other UHWs.  Not destroyed, though.  That thing would almost certainly take more than 3 minutes to destroy.

Komodo Dragon looks similarly awesome, but that pointless pile of hammers in the back makes me cringe.  It just screams, "I couldn't build up to the weight limit so I'll just throw on random heavy junk until I get there."  They would be much better in the front.

Since BB9 is starting up in 10 days, I figured I may as well show off my entries.
Everyone, please welcome, the Metallicus Family! :gawe:
First up is Mini Metallicus, the LW entrant to BB9 and one of my 2 entries to the Minor Inconveniences tournament.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19861Mini Metallicus.JPG)
Up next is the original Metallicus machine, which we've seen before:

And finally, the big daddy of them all, I proudly present to you, the big, the bad, the down-right brutal...
GIGA METALLICUS!

They all look ok except the mw metallicus because how a disk that thick goes through the chassis like that. I mean I know decals are the best you can do about it, but having some kind of armor or extender around the weapon instead would look soooo much better.

Post by: Badnik96 on May 07, 2014, 11:17:25 PM
I dont like the hw metallicus at all. Its like you made a standard bot and added extender work to try to  look irl-ish. Put the eteks in the chassis if you want to use them.

Slapper looks pretty cool, and replace your S3 wheels with technos on Autistic Pride.

Lol, thats EXACTLY what I intended to do. :gawe:
I agree it looks ugly, but I personally like it. Nonetheless, I'll make a new version of it tomorrow, that's more IRL-ish. ;)
and replace your S3 wheels with technos on Autistic Pride. 
The reason I used S3 wheels is because Autistic Pride's drive system made him too fast, as you could see in Centipital force.
But the main reason why is because S3 wheels are more durable, lighter, and the larger diameter helps Autistic Pride when he's inverted.
Slapper looks pretty cool 
I'm glad to hear! :smile:
The name is somewhat of an innuendo.
Think about it... Slapper... :laughing

well that is pretty M.O.E. -e (< this) so i like it and think it is irl
also my whole theory on irl is make something that looks irl and then worry about combat efficiency if it will be in a tourney
also that looks intimidating
and i dont know how much damage giga metallicus can do but im hoping my entry can break off the wheel guards
i honestly think i am going out first round though so good luck

Yea, Nary's actually right about this one. It's not completely unacceptable, but one more extender down the middle would look swell. Remove a couple of those teeth and you'll have it.

Also, the Multi Extenders sticking out looks ugly.

Actually, the weapon isn't as effective as you'd think.
Besides, if IRL is an art form, why not make a cool weapon design?

I think the tryhard weapon is the only DSL-S thing about it, at least as far as I see it. Fix that and it's a pretty nice looking bot.
Title: Re: TommyProductionsInc DSL Showcase
Post by: cephalopod on June 18, 2014, 03:41:21 PM
That weapon is tryhard to the extent of DSL-S and the rest of the bot can't save it. It's not IRL on those grounds.

The juggler is like completely useless at half-UHW level... the flipper as well... should I even start about how slow is this thing for a SnS ?

The SnS is unbalanced and else... yes you may have put more weapon systems than me on a single bot (or are on equal terms with me), but it ends to be very messy and completely useless in combat.

It has a certain "wtf septuple hybrid" and "lol wrecktangle" interest to me... but otherwise no it is just messy and extremely unefficient and has no real aesthetic.

Not to mention that surrounding your bot with different weapon systems is just going to end poorly. How do you drive and use that hybrid ? You should aim super-precisely with this bot to use any of these hybrids, they're not focused on one part of the bot...

LET ME SHOW YOU HOW YOU MAKE A PROPER SNS HYBRID, YOUNG GRASSHOPPER.

Give us a picture of the HW from a different angle (i.e. side/top view). I can't tell what the wheels or disc supports are from the frontal angle. However, I do like the idea Frenzy hammers for supports. I never would have thought to use those in that way.

Vertigod also looks cool, although plows would indeed make it even better, if you can manage to fit them somehow. Vertigod is an awesome name too, I wish I'd thought of that...

The Dual Mag drive .txt is in the regular DSL2.1 Styles folder but isn't actually referenced in the TWM components .txt or anything, so unless Nar AI or DSL 3 got mixed in there, Tommy added it to the game himself (and I'd say it's technically an illegal component seem as though it's not even in cheatbot2).

Wut, No Luv?

Here's the story of what happened to Goblin Shark after his first tournament:

I wasn't all too satisfied with this rebuild. The self-righting being the main issue.

So, I just made some edits:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67242Goblin Shark 1.1.PNG)
New wheels, new drive setup, rearranged batteries, and it can slice bagels.

But what about poor little Goblin Shark II? Am I just gonna leave him to rot?

Here's' a possible house robot design for Craaig's upcoming tournament:

Trainiac.
(Notice the giant evil eyes on top with the spikestrip eyebrows)
Since cheatbot2 was allowed, I made the best use of it, adding the Razer damage zones to his front plow so that he can do more damage. It's untested in battle, but during construction I was having issues keeping him within the 2500KG weight limit.

Well, at least you have Goblin Shark II's chassis in Steam Soldier. I was a bit too lazy to show off Rust Spawn Stage 2 when he was first built.

Anyway, I've got something revolutionary in hammer-bot technology:

I found a new way to make a 180 degree hammer!

His name's pipsqueak.

He uses a chained-burst motor setup I thought of about a year ago, but it wasn't as efficient in stock, so I didn't showcase it.

You're not the only one. Make the chassis a bit smaller, there seems to be a tad extra space. But other than that, it looks good. Also, what armor does it have?

Good lord. That is GENIUS. Build a HW version A longer VDMA burst will give you even more power there, and using a highly centered JX burst, you could build something like terrorhurtz and get the axe head moving at incredibly realistic speeds! Also, holy s*** (do i get warnings for self-censoring expletives?) think of the beta replica possibilities!

Pretty sure your burst motor of choice is made for being on the outside of the chassis.

if you mount the JX outside the chassis you should be able to make some dope support with discs and round extenders for it

Wow, an ENTIRE year? Eh, I did lose interest in making IRL bots, since there's so many other people who can do better than me.

Regardless, I have a potential future project that I may start working on in the future and that requires a bunch of robots and bios. A potential story I most likely will write and possibly animate as well in a few years when I go to film school.

Here's Blue Moose, basically a knock-off of Toro and RedBull. If Redbull gives you wings, Blue Moose gives you antlers.

INB4 someone makes a Happy Tree Friends Lumpy reference.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

Based off one of my lego robots, but made to be more realistic. And added antlers.
The two ballasts in the back are there to stay, so don't criticize their awkward appearance on his rear end.
I'll be making some more robots.

Here's the "bio" for this one:

"Blue Moose is a young rookie robot and consistently performs like a pro. The team are great sports and it's believed they used real moose antlers on their robot. They're also trying to promote their new energy drink, also called Blue Moose. It gives you energy, AND antlers."

Expect more to come.

Sure! There's not much to it really.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
Anyway, here's my next bot, also a flipper, also animal themed, and he even has little thingies on his head. Say hello to Demon Cow, a top-hinged flipper, a design inspired by RW competitor The Mule and my lego bot Demon Cow. I was gonna name him Cow Satan, but Demon Cow has a better, funnier ring to it.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

Here's his bio:
"Legendary flipper Demon Cow returns from retirement to claim another championship. But has his design aged well? Notorious for out of the arena flips and attacking the house robots, even flipping the mighty Mr. Massacre, the boss of the house robots, this bot is definitely championship material."

Yes, I said house robots. I'm making a series about robot combat, a story, and it features original house robot designs. I'm not sure how far I will take it. It'll probably start as a webcomic, and then escalate to animation when I go to film school. I aspire to become a story-writer.

I feel like these are genuinely made IRL, in that there's not much effort in making them combat effective. I just have a vision of what each one looks like, and bring it to life in RA2.

Not that good, but that's because I'm not used to making crushers. Or DSL IRL for that matter.
Again, this bot isn't meant for combat, it was solely made for aesthetics. I may revise him later.

Bio:
"One of the scariest flippers in Bot Wars, Debra is a strong, female bot with a strong, female team. She consistently KOs robots by launching them all the way across the arena and into oblivion. And with a zero ground clearance, only the deadliest of spinners can stand up to her and her thick steel armor. She has a rivalry with house robot Madame Mayhem."

Ironically, Debra in-game is armored in 5mm Titanium, but in the story, she's got steel armor. Based off my lego bot Debranator, they're basically the same thing. Only difference is that this RA2 version is untested in combat. It's just a model used for reference for when I draw comic panel strips of her.

Also, ignore the casters on the back of her launcher. That's just for stability. Not meant to be an IRL part.

Thanks! I honestly didn't put much effort into her, so it's rather surprising for me to be getting praised for her.

Anyway, here's our first house robot. I'll be showing 1 Bot Wars house robot for every 4 competitors I showcase. And there's 5 planned house robots.

Here's the first one, Cavern Crusher, along with his bio:
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
"First up for the house robots, we have Cavern Crusher. He's an experimental piece of mining equipment gone mad! Weighing in at over 3 times as much as a competitor robot at 358 kilos, or 789 pounds, he's got a plethora of weapons, including dual pickaxes and a massive rear vertical saw. His main weapon however, is the massive bludgeoning drill at the front, weighing in at a hefty 62 kilos, or 137 pounds! His only real weakness is his tendency to topple over. Just don't tell him I said that!"

In the game, he weighs 2862.8 kg, his bludgeoner weighing 496 kgs.

What do you think of Bot Wars' first house robot? I'm thinking of putting him on the BotExchange.

Post by: Hoppin on July 12, 2018, 12:17:05 PM
For a house robot I'd suggest more chunky hammers maybe using 30kg sledges with 2 lightning spikes either side to form an 8 point star and then add counterweights at the bottom, maybe those could be sledges themselves to fit the look and with a thicker arm width.

Hmm...30 kg hammers aren't sleek enough. How about double-ended Judge Gavels? The pick-axe arms are pretty skinny compared to the rest of the robot, but using sledge-hammers are too bulky IMO.

Also, the more weight the hammers have, the more top-heavy the robot gets. Even now it's a bit of a problem, especially with the gyroscopic tendencies of the sawblade and bludgeoner.

Also, what do you mean by an 8 point star?

(Ok, I TRIED to make it look that way)

Introducing BULLSH#T!!!
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
It's only a display bot, so it's not competitive in-game. In the story though, it's a "normal" competitor, ignoring the fact it looks like feces. It's underweight in-game, I'll try fixing that some other time. For now, just have this.

Bio:
"This...unusual looking shell spinner is made by an enigmatic bot builder known for screaming out the words "BULLSH#T!!!" whenever he disagrees with something, whether it's during a regular conversation, something unfortunate happens, or he loses a fight.

  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
Bio:

“Rumor has it that this robot is cursed! If you wanna know why, here’s a list of all the incidents related to it:

1: He stabbed his owner in the face during construction, destroying half his frontal lobe and causing permanent brain damage. It was so bad the owner’s brother had to take over the team.

2: His first 2 opponents broke down in his debut tournament, and he went berserk halfway through his first fight! We had to send in another competitor robot into the arena to stop him.

3: He fell on a pit crew member’s foot, crushing it completely.

4: It’s weapon fired off during maintenance and stabbed someone in the abdomen, even though the robot was turned off! (This nearly got us shut down)

This bot already passed safety inspection before, and it has again. Some people are skeptical, but others are worried about what misfortune this bot will bring THIS tournament.”

The whole idea of the robot is that it's bland, generic, unassuming, and kinda lame, that way it comes off as sort of a surprise when it causes a fatal accident.

You wouldn't expect a robot that boring looking to be so dangerous, would you?

It's not dangerous because it has a single spike, not because it's bland
Wait, wut?

yes, the actual threat of a bot is linked to bot design, not aesthetics

Ah, that. I see. Yeah, having a measly spike doesn't look to dangerous either, but I do recall a story from Robot Wars about a competitor robot who was armed merely with a pneumatic spike, and it caused some health and safety issues with that weapon alone.

I should've also mentioned that not only does the bot not LOOK dangerous, but the design itself isn't that potent in general either, which makes the incidents that surround it all the more strange.

Ok, so I'm thinking of getting back into DSL.

However, it seems there's been a lot of mods and changes made since my last time playing.

I haven't touched this game since my last post on here on March, 2019, and stuff has happened since.

What mods do I need to install for IRL building to resume?

Ok, got it, here's my first new bot:

This is Brad. He's a bit special, but I want ya'll to be nice to him. He's a WIP right now, I still need to get his skin and balancing issues fixed.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
I plan on entering him into the upcoming Orc's Wars tournament. I believe he'll be well remembered, but not for being a good robot.
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
He's not the most serious of entries, but I've given up on winning tournaments. I'd much rather make robots that are actually MEMORABLE rather than generic try-hard IRL designs (like my old robots) that'll become forgotten champions.

What do ya'll think so far The main priority is that he's functional, has Deep Six's design, and has dashingly handsome looks.

Ok, so I ended up losing the file for Brad, so I made another possible entry for Orc's Wars 5's New Blood Tournament.

This is Mr.Twiddles. I still have yet to give him a proper skin, and I don't quite know what to make for him. All I know is that if any competitor embraces the spirit of IRL building more than anyone, it might just be this guy. Just look at that face.

Alright, time to do something possibly regrettable: The Cheatbot Component Challenge

I can't come up with any ideas right now, so I came up with this little game. You guys pick a SINGLE cheatbot2 replica component for me to seemlessly integrate into an IRL design. Whether it's, Wheely Big Cheese's flipper, Chaos 2's side panels, Tazbot's head, or even Sir Killalot's breastplate!

If it's a replica component that's NEVER used in IRL or DSL-S building due to how exclusive or broken these components are, I'm all in. The more interesting and niche the component, the better (I think)

To be more specific, I mean something like an IRL design that simply uses the Taz head or the Behemoth Junk extra or something. No super-specific details or instructions, just pic a random, niche component for replicas and have me apply it to whatever IRL design I can think of that will include it.

Any suggestions?

Said it in the discord but I really like this. The usage of the mechavore motor not just as a weapon motor but also to give the bot an interesting shape overall is really clever. I love when components get used for purposes that you wouldn't immediately think of.

Would be really neat if you could somehow replicate that shape in extenders or maybe OBJ it or something so you could have a version you can put in tournaments though as it's a really cool design and I think it would be neat to see it fight stuff.

If I had to pick out something you could improve I'd say maybe the rear end. I think using drums instead of the extender setup you have there would get you a cleaner look, assuming they fit properly.

All in all though nice work  :thumbup

I VERY much appreciate this caliber of constructive criticism. Thank you very much.

My next Cheatbot2 challenge bot uses the nightmare disc I ended up creating another SHW robot that uses it, I call it Aluminightmare:

Pardon this next one, it was made in the midst of a family crisis. This is Iron Caterpillar, a robot designed to possess the razor claw component and NOT look like total ass. This was the outcome, a wannabe Ryu Kishin with a srimech that can (theoretically) double as a front hinged flipper.

Next, I think I'll try and see what can be done with the Tornado Frame. I have a pretty damn good idea for a robot that can creatively use that, but I'm unsure of I can execute the idea with all the life stress I'm currently going through.

Decided to recreate one of my old classic robots from years past: Mega Metallicus, who was able to reach the quarter finals in one of Freeziez Battlebots Tournaments. The try-hard nature of this design still resonates to this day, with it's Etek drive Ti10 armor, and potent weapon setup.  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]

Post by: TommyProductionsInc on January 02, 2021, 01:08:00 AM
Ok, so here's a funny story of how I just made RA2 history on accident:

So I tried rebuilding the first DSL bot I EVER posted on here, Rolling Pin Of Doom. It used to look like this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29751RPOD.JPG)
And now it looks like this:
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
You see those desert tan extenders that are supposed to mimic arms? Well, when I was testing this bot out and started it's weapon, I happened to also be moving the bot in the opposite direction of the drums, causing the extenders to torque-react. I tried a few more times and realized there's another way to make torque reaction bots.

This led to me making THIS thing:
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
This is the prototype version of "Flipping Crazy", which functions EXACTLY like a torque-reaction bot IRL could, with the assistance of drums acting as gyroscopes that move the opposite direction of the wheels if they move either forward or backward. No more did we need to use non-wheel components to make torque reaction bots.

Then, I improved the design to use saws so it was more tourney-legal, and it ended up working BETTER. Now it can hit stuff with FORCE, and on the spot too!
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
  [ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]  
And with that, a new breed of bot is born.

How do I know this? Well, shortly after that torque-reaction bot, I built this cursed thing:
