Stole the name off of my in-progress IRL bot on the first one, but I don't mind. Welcome.
And don't use those big batteries either, all you need is a couple Ants.The biggest batterys are usefull, but only for burst motors.
All of your bots are overpowered.Lol this doesn't sound right.
The realistic rule in DSL basically says that if a component could not have a slot cut into it in real life, then you can't have anything passing through it. So anything from the Mechanics, Wheels, or Power tabs in the Bot Lab can't have anything passing through them. But wheels can pass through stationary objects, because you can cut a slot in those. Also, if a component is completely cut by another component, that's illegal as well. Like an Iron Spike, for example, completely passing through an extender, cutting it in half, that would be illegal. Apart from that, you can have pretty much free reigh. Oh, and no stacking batteries. That's kind of a given.
Oh god not another me.Well, not necessarily.
Please start building the chassis around your bots and minimizing empty space.
I still suck :PI'd say it'd be more of a lack of focus, still you can't suck that much IMO.
No, use a flipper peice instead of the T, they are light and have 1000hp which is the same as a steel extender but lighter.Do they? Fair enough.
OVERKILL on that weapon motor on the shell spinner.
OVERKILL on that weapon motor on the shell spinner.What a single perm on a HW shell spinner?
Sarcasm.This is the internet, sarcasm isn't as obvious as IRL.
and the HS is not only WAY too fast, it also is unrealistic.
@ScorpionJust get rid of the irons all together, it's just wasted weight on there really
those irons were the only ones that i could fit 2 of and they are NPC Left/Right
anyway i will try and change the ramplate
and i will get rid of a few ants...
You need 6 ants...
Use a DSL bar instead of an extender.Seconded

I'd get rid of the metal hinge wedges and replace them with Mako wedges.Mako wedges aren't good now.
The work far better than metal hinges on a VS as they don't lift up with the chassis, at least at this angle.I'd get rid of the metal hinge wedges and replace them with Mako wedges.Mako wedges aren't good now.
They were better like a couple of years ago when nobody used metal hinges.
On a not very stable VS, then yeah, you're right.The work far better than metal hinges on a VS as they don't lift up with the chassis, at least at this angle.I'd get rid of the metal hinge wedges and replace them with Mako wedges.Mako wedges aren't good now.
They were better like a couple of years ago when nobody used metal hinges.
Nah mako wedges suck against any other good wedge.Any other wedge on this would suck and have even less of a chance.
FS is better.Well it's a first for me so don't expect it to be good...
That crawler however...
Anyway, FS seems unrealistic from that angle atleast (then again, if it is realistic, it'll suck because the VS part won't hit anything)It is realistic and i can't get the VS to hit anything without it being unrealistic.
Standard DSL AI is outdated nowadays, so pretty much irrelevant.
The crawler has faaaar too much wasted weight on the back, the setup consumes too much weight overall, look at other bots to figure out how to lighten it (you have loads of different options lighter than THAT!)
Well that's A LOT of wasted weight then, either fixxx it so it can hit (but is still realistic ofcourse) or just make it a FS or a VSAnyway, FS seems unrealistic from that angle atleast (then again, if it is realistic, it'll suck because the VS part won't hit anything)It is realistic and i can't get the VS to hit anything without it being unrealistic.
The VS just helps with doing damage when flipped and moving/self-righting when flipped.

Yea i'm not too great with extender work but i shall go have a look!
Oh and should i try testing it against DSL hw?
Double chaining's generally a bad idea.An that's triple!
An that's triple!
Ack, I misinterpreted what you said. :confused:An that's triple!
Just double, dude. A triple chain has 4 motors. :P
You have broken the game, you will need to uninstall and delete all versions of the game on your computer as you have caused a self imposed, self reliant virus there.Umm... no.
It's a common mistake for begginers, but yeah, delete all your games as fast as possible.
Well, double chaining is most often Awesome But Impractical (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AwesomeButImpractical).
But surely its only a chained, not double chained?Well, double chaining is most often Awesome But Impractical (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AwesomeButImpractical).
I know some of the robots do use double chained Dual Perms. Scrapyard Behemoth (SHW) comes to mind right off hand, but has anyone else created a double chained Dual Perm setup?

Hexplates don't attach to mags.Yes, thank you for that, but yet still, even if you are using mags, they can be worth the extra weight taken up by using an ant sawblade to attach them, they are that usefull IMO.
Actually flipper segments have more armour for their weight.As a cumulative amount. A decent hit to one will destroy the extender as a whole.
anyway here's V3:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94947ANGLER 3.PNG)
Now with more armour aswell :gawe:
EDIT: Oh the setup is the ME in the chassis, one flipper segment and another then the motor+disk.
So 9kg of extenders altogether for the disk

Plus the Perm 132 UL motors aren't legal DSL Components
Yes, i think so and i never knew they weren't legal components...Plus the Perm 132 UL motors aren't legal DSL Components
You mean Perm 80 UL.
Don't see the point of having 2 separate stabilizers, upgrade the weapon motors, drive's too fast, could be invertible, carbons have no point, why DSL bars and why did you slant your npc's?
Don't see the point of having 2 separate stabilizers because MW's are harder to create based on 1 design you are going for compared to a HW, upgrade the weapon motors pigs are fine, drive's too fast no it doesn't, could be invertible what are you a Middleweight miracle worker?, carbons have no point watch my BBEANS 6 battle against Bisector and tell me they have no point, why DSL bars cause they are awesome and why did you slant your npc's better turning radiusNext time Fotepx, showcase your bots so we can ridicule you if you think you are so good at giving out advice.
Insidesz plz.Its basically 5 ants and a blue/yellow cb.
Looks messy.
Turn it into a Torque Reaction Full body drum :bigsmile:
'Twas a joke, as indicated by my actual advice below that.Turn it into a Torque Reaction Full body drum :bigsmile:
That's not even close to a TRFBD, basically you're telling him to make a whole new bot.
The extender work could be more efficient but it looks quite cool.
Now fight some wedges. :Plolk
Alright i've made a few changes
It now beats all of Nar AI HW pop-ups most-of-the-time
Gotten rid of the dsl bars and anything else i didn't need and upgraded the hammers, moved the beaters at the front a bit and got more external armour.
Next thing is to raise the top half-sheets so the pop-ups attack that instead of the chassis...

Why the carbon extender?The carbon extender helps it to run upside down but it's just a bit small, the bigger one (the one that would work if i had the weight) means it weight something like 249.3.
And that is a metal hinge wedge isn't it?
You'd be better of just letting it self right itself, considering you've got a wedge on there.Why the carbon extender?The carbon extender helps it to run upside down but it's just a bit small, the bigger one (the one that would work if i had the weight) means it weight something like 249.3.

Another bot that might be used against Jonzu...Needs moar weaponry, downgrade the disk and the wedge weight to do that.

So it's either VS or HS...
Or ofcourse something else :gawe:
Well i've now got 8 BB and 4 LDS teeth and alu wedge and it weighs 246.What Armour? try and make it invertable if it isn`t.
Where to get more weight...
Change the sheets to poly or alu and maybe upgrade drive. Also do what Scorpion said.HS don't need great drive
I really did not know that.Change the sheets to poly or alu and maybe upgrade drive. Also do what Scorpion said.HS don't need great drive

That looks very impressive. Does it spin fast enough with that short of a distance between the wheels?
That's pretty good. =] I remember Puncture turned painfully slowly. But that's a pretty good design there.Heh, thanks :approve:
@ ty4er: Good job taking out a popup! :D'Tis sorta easy with this, the pop-up's just attack the weapons when they get under me and i can rip off their wedges quite quickly.
Oh, you drove it yourself.D:
Never mind. :P
I do believe he would have to get a taller chassis to put a halfsheet on the bottom.^^
That's not a bad idea, but will be difficult to implement without losing anything else.

12 WEAPONS?!?!! wow. just wow. even though i came close, i (probably) couldn't match that.I could probably have more :P
Insides?
Irons aren't your best choice.I know but i didn't want it to be all razors and they seemed to have alright reach.
Try small beaters and small DS teeth. Should inflict decent damage with OK reach.Irons aren't your best choice.I know but i didn't want it to be all razors and they seemed to have alright reach.
I haven't tested it anyway so i'll probs change the weapons setup and stuffs.
Meh, not bad I suppose, are they npc fasts?Sadly no, i can get rid of the teeth though.
Yep, that's just what I was going to suggest.Meh, not bad I suppose, are they npc fasts?Sadly no, i can get rid of the teeth though.
Can have 1 less ant I guess...I like a little extra power...
Angle your razors upward or downward.Back to normal NPC's it is...
Also, NO NPC Fasts for this. You don't need them, this is already fast enough, and they will get damaged, smoke and get much less powerful more easily than NPCs.
NPCs have 12000 (IIRC) hitpoints. If you deal 6000 damage to them, regardless of if they are attached to the chassis (a.k.a. invulnerable) or not, they will start to smoke and lose much of their power. I think they lose something like 50% power when they smoke.
NPC Fasts, however, only have 400. And 200 damage on a chassis-attached NPC fast is enough to cut their torque by two (I think, unsure though)
Oh, I did not see the angled razors.I have improved a lot haven't i?
It looks pretty good actually. Much better than your last page HS'ers.
Good job, you have done a lot of progress since your starting bots who were REALLY bad. That's what a builder's life is about. Progressing, finding new things, trying new designs and getting good.
And then one day the flame of inspiration leaves you, and you become pretty much a dead builder. Like me.
Funky stuff you got there.Thanks :3
And I'm quite surprised you managed to cram all that stuff within LW range. O_O
Try downgrading the extenders and use 2 angled shell panels instead of those sheets. And if you're feeling risky, you can attach your drive to the said panels as well.
It's going to get stuck on it's side easily in combat. Fix that.I forgot about that >.<

*Metal Militia pounces on t4er*
The bot looks okay but you want all your razors to be strait so they all hit at once.
I reckon you could do with only 2 ants for that, and that's some quite funky extender work you've got going on, but I reckon it could do pretty well with a few tweaks and such.I guess so but most of the matches run for a while and it runs out of power quite easily.
I just remembered i can make them go inwards >.<DP:Oh ho ho ho.

Very, VERY nicely built. Would be nice to know how many ants and what armour it had, but that does look just on the cusp of realism.Armour i think is tite 1 and 3 ants.
Looks waaayyy too unstable to be that combat effective, though I could be mistaken. I love the way it looks though.I haven't tested it properly yet but it's better than the LW :gawe:
Hmm, looks pretty good I guess. Though you should change that CF extender to a 40cm poly sheet.I guess so...
And you really haven't fixed that "stuck on it's side" problem...
I think he meant put the Piglet straight onto the ME inside the chassis, so the disc is closer to the center of the chassis. I think that is a very good design, personally, and you have definitely improved. On the AW Rammer, I'd consider getting all the teeth pointing the same way.Ah, i'm not too sure if it would let me do that but i'll go experiment...

And if i did that on the AW it would be a bit harder to get the teeth on the sides to do much.
:mrgreen:
It's been a while since i made a decent MW so i made this:Might be a little slow if your going to use that disk, you might want to cut down on weaponry to get a stronger one.

Bit boring with 1 ant and tite 1 and does havoc quite a bit...
imma in a troll mood so...Lemme guess... Inspired by my bot? :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/83548AW - pink ftw.PNG)
That's LW drive, I've go a similar design with 2WD NPCF + Techno but less weaponry. This may not have enough wedge sweeping ability.It might have low drive but it will outweapon a lot...
That's LW drive, I've go a similar design with 2WD NPCF + Techno but less weaponry. This may not have enough wedge sweeping ability.That's pretty much what I meant to say; the lack of drive power will limit its effectiveness against wedges.
I think a good idea would be to take the three flails around the wheel, take the side razors, and point them upwards to protect the wheel, which is rather exposed in its current position.I guess i could do that but i'm more offensive than defensive :gunz:
Indeed it seems fairly decent.

But i can always try it :D
Anyway i has a little story...
So i downloaded 123AI (again) and i decided to test out EENH and V2 aswell...
the original beat all the LW's apart from the FS's for some reason and the V2 beat all of them but had a bit of a problem with The FS's.
So much of a problem that i decided to build my own FS :gawe:
aaand here it is:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/8825bowtie FS.PNG)
Tite 1 with 3 ants IIRC...
Untested so far but i think it turned out alright :D
Try Robot X Sais and see if that's better.Hmm...
The side panels are to keep the razors off the ground and to keep it from being front heavy and tipping.This post sums up everything I was going to say about FOTEPX's post.
The Flipper segs are there just cuz.
I guess they can be wheel guards but i can change them for summin' else.
If you fix that, you should update your RATC3 bot.Could do but it won't be that one after testing :P
I sorta fix'd it: (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/94885Crusteh II.PNG)
Hasn't fallen off yet in testing so...

Aren't Bandwagons fun?
Sheets don't have end connect points.Oh i see whatcha mean now...
@ty4er, I mean angle them more down so the stabilise it better.
Ok,skirts then,use them.Skirt hinges?
I reckon that'll be a decent wedge, personally. Perhaps a Flipper Segment + Small Wedge would be better, that'd give you a little more weight to play with.I didn't want to be a complete flipper so i put on the bar for a little bit of damage :P
Personally not. The two panels are treated as one, in much the same way as an IRL robot might use two pneumatic rams to fire one flipper mechanism.Does more damage than most other flippers :P
I hardly think the DSL Bar is going to cause damage, though, especially if it's concealed for the most part underneath the flipping skirts. I'd ditch it for something lighter, personally, if it makes a better wedge.
JUST HAD AN IDEA.I would imagine it would be a bit havoky but i shall give it a go now.
Hear me out, hear me out...
Instead of using two multi-extenders for your BSG's... Why not just use 1 Skirt hinge? 1kg extra weight...

Hey, it was just an idea. Keep your baguette-laced panties on.
I might try ME + 80 angled Tite skirt going above it. I think you'd have the weight for that, and it'd be wide enough to stop opponents hitting it with HS's, and prevent hammers hitting it from the top.Done it :D
With the BW, swap to razors.hmm...
It's a wall.Its basically a remake of the first model so i decided to keep the razor/flipper segs to keep it a bit like the original :D
Not bad, I reckon. Maybe the flipper segments/razors seem a bit overkill for wheelguards, I'd try using 40cm Tite Skirts instead.
Maybe chenge the wheels to add more ground clearance, otherwise, GOOD.Thank you :D
I can see you winning a botm.
Also. MAW BWZ.If you're lucky ;D
Bots must be built in Nar AISo i guess it's fine :P
When people do Unrealistic DSL, they just use it as an excuse for a not quite realistic bot. Why not go crazy?...

Those wheels look horrible :P*ahem*
Try to get techno's on there
But the ford wheels are there cuz i felt like it, i was trying to be original and most of the other wheels weren't big enough, too big or had the wrong grip (too much and it wouldn't move without mauler dancing).But i may change them to something else later on.
Then change the setup so technos are big enough...fine
And as long as you use normal NPCs, technos won't be too grippy
Wedge is absolutely useless on such a design. Really.Ehh, i was aiming for a type of FS/TS with the wedge.
Can't you upgrade the armour?I was wondering if there was anything else.
If not then just add wide ant wheels instead
Yes, and while that's because, as you said, his was generally more well built than your bot, the main reason will be because you kloned.I'm not talking about respect.
You copied the design, he originally came up with it, so ofcourse his bot is going to get more respect from the community.
I think yours needs the larger chassis, to protect against Havok bombs.Seems mostly alright at the moment, but i shall look into it.
You can't defend from VS. Even if you take no damage you still get tip over and that's that.
dude where do you see any piston? Even if you have piston it will only fire you forward anyway. It won't flip you up.
You're best using a halfplate to defend from VS'.Dude, it's a BW.
Buy a different mouse, and plug it in to that computer.I'll have to try it tomorrow as i'm watching The day the Earth stood still atm :P

Yea, i might not be able do finish the Pot luck bot or any othersbecause i've been bannedbecause it doesn't work on this computer (i still have the mouse problems D:).
Plus i'm having problems thinking up a design...
TBH i'm not really sure why i posted it here but oh well :D
i also see that everyone has been changing their titles :P
A chassis that can fit 5 ant and a large control board is 1.5sq x 1.7sq and 0.338182 height.
I was working on a chassis set, so I memorize quite a few battery box size.A chassis that can fit 5 ant and a large control board is 1.5sq x 1.7sq and 0.338182 height.
Good god... do you memorize that? :P
It also beat Bane Revolution II :gawe:
Lookin'... Pretty nice, for Tyler standards :P
After you've tested that bot, if you're stuck for ideas on what to make, I suggest making a HW multibot drum.
Have you try killing "popups" with this yet? I expect the flails to curve in, protect the bottom of the chassis, while simultaneously de-weapon the 3 to 4 razors that LW popups have.Works against popups so far.
I am wondering if this can be widen in some way to kill Flail SnS, especially in the higher weight class. It will be the pinnacle of de-weapon build.
And I thought Gearhead was annoying. Now this one's even faster. >.<teehee
why so many ballsacks on the botCuz it wants to teabag your bot to death.
Hence why i said i will look at the position, however it seems to work good against wedges (notably popops :P)why so many ballsacks on the botCuz it wants to teabag your bot to death.
Joke aside, the bottom row of fist are not going to deal damage because they are making direct contact with the ground.

Been working on a rammer lately:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/25864old school rammer.PNG)
I have had quite some trouble with inspiration lately D:
60kg hammers, 2 ants, tite 1 with the rest you can see...
Oh and it took me 40 whole minuetes to get the picture on this pathetic excuse for a laptop from the one with ra2 on it D:
I really like the way that looks. I can't help thinking there may be too many weapons on it.Well i was aiming for the bb to be part of the actual disk and then have the two spikes, but if badnik does say it is a bit many then i might have to change it D:
KLONEshhh :P
DerpI love it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/96268sunburn.png)
4 ants, tite 1, might enter this into BoF, dunno if it'sstill open or if he would accept them :P
Raise the motor up a little? Or use an ant sawblade as a spacer if you need it.Ants get in the way D:
Weapon is pointless. You would probably be better with heavy DS teeth or less weapon weight and a stronger motor.Actually seems to be rather stable if a few razors come of, it's when 3 or more beaters come off it becomes hopeless with driving.
But here, if one single razor goes off, there goes your driving, and therefore your consistent damage potential.
Well i did it :P
Anyways i has new LW VS:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/59050LW vs.png)
246.0 and tite 1
No idea what to use the last 2-3 kg on as i can probably trim the chassis for .1kg, self righting is fine and stuff.
Comments appreciated as always :gawe:

How is it at self-righting? Very good :P:gawe:
What's the chassis armour? uh plastic 3 i think, something like that anyway
because i'm not that pro :PWait, how did you manage to make a bot when your compy fails at DSL?
I have a good feeling about this tourny aswell...

MW looks relatively okay, apart from the exposed perm and lack of extender "supports". Would look much better with some of that.think i'll go with that one :P
HW, I'm not so sure. I think it might be the circular chassis and half-exposed wheels. Or the not-terribly-convincing bot skin.
Truncated Triangular Chassis? Similar to YU218 (I think), or Why Not. I think that'd make it look a bit better, personally.
It doesn't have to be perfect, just vaguely triangular. It's fine if it's a little bit isosceles (sp?), it'll still be going point-forwards or point-back, depending on what way round you build it.Correct spelling :approve:
hi i have a bot to show youWhat's it called?
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/18502justbecause.png)
That pic is an earlier version, it no longer has a typhoon spike and has a tite skirt at the back to keep it stable.
Does well in testing aswell, hardly tips over :P
edit: 2000 posts woo
Also, internals & armour please. =Ptough :P
I'm worried about the mags. Do they ever fall off?what mags :P
I'm worried about the mags. Do they ever fall off?what mags :P
The bsg's havent fallen off in testing if thats what your asking.
No he doesn't. Maybe he's just using them as ballast, minor protection and slightly damaging weapons.I lol'd :laughing
wait BALLAST *goes berserk*
LW is scoring no points because the weapons on the ground. You should find a way around that. hmm, last time i checked they didn't touch the ground, gonna have to check (easy enough to move them anyway, the panels will be even weaker to wedges though D:)
Spinner looks nice and retro. I like. Even though it's comparatively fail. =D
Hammer is an interesting design. What does the Hammer Head intersect? i think it's only part of the belt and motor, i was aiming for an anchor shaped weight but couldn't find any, that was the closest for size i guess, i might try something like extender and a few tornado spikes on.
It does indeed. How does it fare against popups or anything with a wedge? I'm curious as to whether the weapons can attack wedges.Pop-ups have yet to get to the chassis :P The weapons usually hit the weapons or whatever leads them up to the weapons, usually the chassis.
Looking excellent. I built something similar a while back, but this is a lot better. It looks like you have AGOD on the right wheel in the back shot, though.Do I? I can't really tell...
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81116irl spinner.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/81116irl spinner.png)
This is not IRL, the spinner visibly passes thru the wheels. You need more chassis space to make it look like a ring spinner.
I need to make the chassis bigger so the wheels fit inside it though.
im pretty sure pwnator has something that looks just like that, even with the skirt on the back.
It bares a resemblance, but I think Pwn used irons.
Nice and realistic I see...yep, as are most popups :P
Popups are realistic enough if they don't have their weapon system moving all the way through a certain component either vertically or horizontally. If you removed the wamming rack it would be realistic but that would kill all the originality of your bot.Nice and realistic I see...yep, as are most popups :P
Looking good. The JXs still look a little exposed. How does it fare in battle?They have to get past the weapons first :P
Looking good. The JXs still look a little exposed. How does it fare in battle?JX's have plenty of HP, so that isn't a problem.
Very plain bot from you there xDIt originally had vlad wheels but it couldn't drive straight at all :P
Small JXs I presume....yes
:SSmall JXs I presume....yes
i wanted my wedges far out :p:SSmall JXs I presume....yes
Large JXs are so much better, they remove a huge element of chance.
Also, fail chassis is fail.

How about a disc instead of a shell panel to protect the front?i guess that would work, i'll try it in a minute.

New vs:Where?
oop you know i meant hsNew vs:Where?
First one looks awesome, but unrealistic. I'd try to get the 40cm skirts a bit wider, then you should be able to attach the motors directly, while avoiding the stabilisers being cut. Second looks even more awesome, but looks a bit heavy for a HW. Insides?

Side Panel...I'd have attached the Perm to an ME, personally. Side panel's gonna be quite brittle.
If i use a ME i might be able to attach a side panel to the halfsheet's crazy ap to the side. Plus it's in nar ai right now. and there aren't really any other options :PSide Panel...I'd have attached the Perm to an ME, personally. Side panel's gonna be quite brittle.
Actually I would have used a steel extender, to make it smaller and therefore less of a target.
But using external nonprotected 80's is playing with fire, as always.
Pretty damn sure you can use a piglet on this.piglets are pretty weak/slow and i don't think would work as well.
Nice exposed chassis. :Pgood luck getting there first :P

How does it do in combat?
i have absolutely no idea why is he using top armor.because the disk keeps on falling off and i had weight. Should probably have used it elsewhere like stronger anti immobiliser.
Just ignore the 'outer' part and consider the 'inner' part connected to the disk, I guess.Self righting is fine, sometimes bumbles about for a short while though.
Self-righting fine?

If its two BSG's there must be some unrealistic intersections going on, which could be removed IRL, but in the game its just giving an extra surface to do damage with that shouldn't exist. Shame on you, ty.
Unless you can show me otherwise. Looks good though :P
To remove AGOD first pause, then go into the test garage and back, the bot will be ok
Apparently saving the bot and importing it into another slot may entirely fix AGOD in rare cases, IIRC.Never worked for me personally, and believe me I've tried it a lot.
That works for me all the time (i forget to say that must be unpause after coming back to the tab)To remove AGOD first pause, then go into the test garage and back, the bot will be ok
hahaha no. at least it doesn't work all the time. if only it was that easy.
Yeah but next time to garage and back, and matches, it'll be messed up again.That works for me all the time (i forget to say that must be unpause after coming back to the tab)To remove AGOD first pause, then go into the test garage and back, the bot will be ok
hahaha no. at least it doesn't work all the time. if only it was that easy.
oh wait why the heck are you using drive motors as weapons ?? keep using piglets, and shield your chassis.if i attach them directly to the disk the they would be a bit far back to do much and i cant attach another disk because of the rule of 7.
hnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggghi wanted it as wide as i can, not much has actually gotten to the chassis yet (though i haven't tested it against much except for other facespinners and hs) but i can try and angle it
Not sure why you would leave such a weak spot exposed, though. You could probably angle the whole system inwards a notch.
dat wammer
well in testing it never lost more than 5 razors before a ko, that was with flails and hammers and whatever else.dat wammer
mine are better :P
Though it is original... but soon it's going to lose all it's razors and diminish effectiveness.
And you could shrink the chassis so there's less of a chasm in the middle of the discs :P
the heck are you talking about ? the distance between both discs is fine. It's not like anything else than a specialized design can strike the chassis between both discs.
Can it beat Gearhead AI'ed, combat arena, no hazards ?uh i'll have a look
Very nicely built. How often does the hammer come into play?quite often actually. it's very good late-match aswell

well nasty pickle ain't going to be a problem
Looks terrifying and damaging, but I think it may be slower that way than when you have the motors further in, as the wheels are moving a greater distance to got the bot turning the same angle, which isn't bad with motors with lower torque but is bad news for one which could easily get to a greater speed like this one.
just try something more adventurous next time.You give me the inspiration and I'll do it :P
I have to comment or else ty will kill me SO what wheel is that and is it invertible?>.>

it's a vlad wheel and yes it's happily invertible
I want to pit that against Inferna so badly, just to see how things would have gone if he did finish it in time or something.3 challenges in a row then? :P
I prefer the Cutting Teeth one, personally. You'll also want to make sure your wheels don't intersect.Thanks, i can easily move the motors slightly.
Awwwh, I like it. Why not use a BSG?Not as powerful and because i had the weight :P
i can barely even read the textthat was probably what let it down
Surely you could put a small 20cm or so extender facing down on the extender holding the halfsheet, then attach the spike to that? It would look like a piston aswell, which would make it more IRL.
Should be named after a certain 140bp attack with that skin...
That looks exactly like Drift (an IRL bot I showcased like 2 months ago), right down to the tornado spike on the flipper.That's exactly what I thought. Did you just change the skin and the wheels?

That's what I would have done to eat up some weight. Or you could have something like a Cutting Tooth on it to eat up weight, which would probably look more IRL, similar to the spikes on Bigger Brother.
Cool.
pretty good, despite the alignment issues :PCool.
Did you just call a crawler... cool?!
Looks good. How well does the hammer do?
Change the left razor into a Lightning spike and the meshes would most likely align. :Pbut then it's all asymmetrical and stuff D:
Cool.This is blasphemy! O.O

Try re-attaching the wedges and pause before you go to the test garage. Un-pause when you go back on the components screen and look at the meshes then. That usually works for me.

How well does it do against VS and HS.does great against hs and not so great against vs
please dont ask me what it iswhat is it
Nice compact design. Bit too much skirting for my liking, though, most of it looks pretty pointless. I'd ditch most of it, and try to get it invertible in some way. Maybe some upward angled skirts on either corner.i may try that later on, provided the skirts wont get in the way of the reach too much
Fantastic. Only downside I can think of is the inability to self-right, but aside from that, it's a brilliant design.it can actually self right like 80% of the time, which still isnt bad :D
With one JX? How does it do that?Fantastic. Only downside I can think of is the inability to self-right, but aside from that, it's a brilliant design.it can actually self right like 80% of the time, which still isnt bad :D

Popup/Juggler/Gutripper hybrid?indeedy
OH MAH GAWD that's nice.
I'm not sure but I generally find that popup elements on gutrippers tend to not add as much to the damage potential as a more powerful set of gutripper and juggler weapons.hmm, for me the popup does quite a lot and does help with damage potential.
I'm not sure but I generally find that popup elements on gutrippers tend to not add as much to the damage potential as a more powerful set of gutripper and juggler weapons.For me, popup element is for self right..... a wedge bot that can self right can at least win 20% more fights than without.

You can also switch to a longer weapon, which will let you self right. Sure damage won't be nearly as good, but since it has 2 other damage source, I think it's worth the sacrifice.it would be able to if the wedges didn't have agod, i guess you can't win them allI'm not sure but I generally find that popup elements on gutrippers tend to not add as much to the damage potential as a more powerful set of gutripper and juggler weapons.For me, popup element is for self right..... a wedge bot that can self right can at least win 20% more fights than without.

OMG how did you get it without some uber WTF HAVOK?i don't know :P it's strange how the lightweight havoks in tournaments but this one doesn't, maybe it has something to do with flails/weight ratio or just the weight

What about mixed piercing/concussion rammers? And trfbmsfsfjskljfskljsljds?
anyway, i decided to build another irl bot:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67082dragonfly.PNG)
plastic 3 and 4 ants.
It's meant to be one of those IRL art type bots like Snake and such. But with a powerful attack as well.*ahem*
Also, what Smashy said.

HAI NFX!
Does look good. I'd be slightly worried about it tilting back, how often does that happen?hardly at all actually
Looks pretty good. S_M had a similar setup on a MW bot. Yours look more efficient, if a little fragile. How well does it fare?What MW was that?
of course it isI love you.
Bot looks awesome, just like the HW. Invertible?
Very nice. Not too fond of the casters in DSL, but seeing as halfsheets are accepted, I'll let that pass. I'm just wondering if the skirts sometimes hang it up on its back end, or maybe it's just the angle.the grip mesh it big enough to let it get back the right way
Cheating much >.> :Pnpc regs have good hp iirc its the npc fasts that only have ~400 hp
NPCs have a lot of HP, right? Other than that, looks good.

reactivity with another ant and a cf extender on the back. only one because im cool like that
Does the 1WD has controlled movement ? Because if it starts wobbling and spikeball mode... it's not allowed.yeah it has controlled movement, can pretty much drive straight without meltybrain but not all the time.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/10248poker.PNG)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/2208pokerside.PNG)looks cool :D
2 ants, alu 1 and a large tank
i swear it's taller than it looks
DSL bars might look better than the skirts?they probably would but i have no weight atm
Well, I've never seen one to be explicitly used as such (I used to drive Borg Drone and Queen as part SnS, but it was merely built as complex HSes), which is why I want to see one built. :PHELLO
actually worksAs long as this is true (maybe a vid of it SnSing without spinning the weapon motors?)
...can it move? :Pjust about :P
It shouldn't unless you put both wheels on the same side....can it move? :Pjust about :P
it didn't seem to make much of a difference with 2wd though

The wheel on the other side would just fight the whole torque reaction anyway, so speed won't really increase cuz it has to keep adjusting. You need both wheels on the same side so it moves forward by hitting forward.It shouldn't unless you put both wheels on the same side....can it move? :Pjust about :P
it didn't seem to make much of a difference with 2wd though
Wait, they couldn't just turn different directions?
beautiful.I was going to say the same.
Ffffflimsy.Are you trying to do your own version of uuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhttttttttt or what?
Yes, that is what i say when a bot looks FLIMSY! PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFHLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIMMMSSSSYYYYYYYY!Ffffflimsy.Are you trying to do your own version of uuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiggggggghhhhhhhhttttttttt or what?

D'aaawwwwwSeconded
What are you, a bunch of girls ?I lol'd.
That flipper should be more forward-placed anyway.Exactly.
plastic 1.wut
That looks sick, although you could try swapping the outermost bar+tooth pair for 2 razors and a poly sheet (probably on the lower skirt hinges) on each side.sheets dont seem to attach onto skirt hinges :/
yeah only extenders do....That looks sick, although you could try swapping the outermost bar+tooth pair for 2 razors and a poly sheet (probably on the lower skirt hinges) on each side.sheets dont seem to attach onto skirt hinges :/
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/34343grill.PNG)Cool, very cool. Well done.
plastic 5, slim drive, 2 ants and a small airtank
Awesome, did S_M give you any inspiration?I sure hope so, not that I've done much lately.
You see mate,you and I aren't so different,we both shall get better over time. :rageApart from the fact that he builds well and is a good contributor to the forum.
He is talking when ty4er first joined dude.You see mate,you and I aren't so different,we both shall get better over time. :rageApart from the fact that he builds well and is a good contributor to the forum.

Just stop acting like you're an experienced/respected member and build stuff and improve.Stop acting like the president of the world,and sorry if I'm trying to show respect to others,unlike many others here.

mwahahahaha, love you really mr heat
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/29922sh**ty splash.PNG)
plastic 10, 7 ants, npc normal drive and a judge for the flipper
ignore the crappy rushed splash
I really like it! What sort of drive are you using?6 npc normals, fasts would be a bit uncontrollable :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35403biggerbrother.PNG)
plastic 3, 8/9 ants, mag drive and 2 judge bursts
that bit of chassis sticking out is really bugging me though D:
I think the axes look pretty cool, actually.
but Badnik's right you've somehow managed to make a ugly bot.
i always love external armor like that. i dont really like that bright blue skin thoughthats just the shine, its actual colour is the one in the middle of the bottom pic. i should fix that but illness and exams
too slow :V:dumb)
wait, you have actual splash skills?what is happening to me
I'm liking that, how much does it weigh?798.something
i like that one a lot, they just need skinslol if only
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/64075reapergrim.PNG)This looks excellent, reminds of Grim Reaper.
i'll probably go on a building spree later
moar standardThis also looks great. HW or MW? If the former, this looks endangered.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/71313gut destroyer 3.PNG)
2wd npcf/hypno, 7 ants, plastic 3 but no popup part this time
i swear this is my first wedged bot without any agod in a year or so
I like the first one more.lolwot
I like the first one more.lolwot
you do realise those are the same bots? :dumb)
A flipper/Sheck spinner hybrid? nice.unfortunately not quite :P its all static. i wanted to have it all on a servo turret but rule of 7 and space stopped me.
awesome! how does selfrighting work? and how does the flipper work overall? does it lift itself up?selfrighting:
I`m in love with this thing! The details are awesome.more than likely yes
Will you enter this in Battlebots?
like it but it will not get underneath anything
Where's the flipper?not sure if you mean the actual bot or the weapon. the flipper part is the big thing in the middle of the bot though :P
Hexapus?you could say i was partially inspired by that bot :P
for badniks ai pack i pressume?yes i've sent it to him already
looks great. especally the different colored wedge. is it able to flip bots?it can flip a bot on it's back and thats about it :P
Uhhh this piston bursts are already powerful
This. The burst I used on the beast tribute bot can barely self right because it can only just move the weight of the alu sheets covering the flipper.Uhhh this piston bursts are already powerful
The largest one can barely flip a MW out of the tourney arena :C
I think Tornados would look better than Granniestoo small :dumb)
And wheelguards ofc.i can't seem to make any wheelguards look good on this
Thought they were the same size, looks good anyhow.I think Tornados would look better than Granniestoo small :dumb)
would look better with a jiggabite of a skin. but other than that it's a nice lwhe cant skin
i should really get around to doing that sometime shouldnt iwould look better with a jiggabite of a skin. but other than that it's a nice lwhe cant skin
Now that, I like. Why treads though?Because they look cool.
it was for trapping purposes, since they have infinite hp
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/76990aeratorvs.PNG)Beauty !
tite 1, 4 ants and twmr drive. pretty damn powerful and stable too
100 pages? I only see 30...Because you have different settings.
Reminds me of R04DK1LL from NAR AI :mrgreen:Reminds me more of Scavenger, really
bot for conraaa's tournament
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/17579flail rammer mw.PNG)
and then i made it even better
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/1674flail rammer normalmw.PNG)
4 casters on both, 2 ants and pl1
lolololo
woo new bot
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90330carnage.PNG)
7 ants, 6wd slim/mini wheel drive, tite 1 and a perm 132 m for the weapon too. 595kg
Then you learn...or just learn to deal with it. Great bot ty.woo new bot
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90330carnage.PNG)
7 ants, 6wd slim/mini wheel drive, tite 1 and a perm 132 m for the weapon too. 595kg
You see, THIS is why I left.
I simply cannot humanly create this much awesome.
I like it. Hworf spikes?nah, pole spikes :dumb)
at least paint it nicer please :dumb)ty4er is physically incapable of providing a half-decent paintjob for any of his robots.
lol, with 1 e-tek holding up 430kg, does that thing even move?my guess is that it moves very slowly, barely does any (GOOD) damage, gets deweaponed and demotored.
What weight?499.2. i could easily trim the chassis for the .2 though
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45534overbite.PNG)
waaaaaait. is this based on Kishin?yeah, it had some pretty neat ideas
I would love to set a hammer on that thing.YES.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/52645jury.PNG)I would love to set a hammer on that thing.YES.
YES.
What teeth are those?ripping
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/16113monotony.PNG)You're welcome :rolleyes:
I thought so, but they look different in DSL3.They're not, besides the stats. He used a hex plate in between the discs and either did some axle loading + eFFe'ing or AAM'ed them on.
how does that look at all like vladvlad spike, the general shape of the robot...
i don't like these secondary wedges, is it even DSL-S like that ? not surewhat
yeah it's a mw. it can flip other bots fairly easily but it can't get them over any walls (like the dsl tourny arena wall)
really happy with how this one turned out
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/19088hunter.PNG)
597.8, 4wd twmr/vlad, judge burst, tite 3 and about 9 ants
watyou do realise this is not irl right? :dumb)
it needs to look more study. maybe some wheelgaurds, does it have motor supports?
oh look i made another bot in the same day
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/48522dangerousmaterial.PNG)
twmr/hypno drive, 5 ants and a judge for the axe. shame it cant turn though :dumb)
here's another crappy bot for you guisPretty good, I really like it.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/92119vs1.PNG)
2 perm 132s and twm2s for drive
i dont know what i'm doing anymore

also w00tthis is truly the greatest achievement of your life. gj.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/44713awyiss.PNG)
give it a more vibrant skinI think it would make it worse, IMO.
but 4 junzu
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/74782ergerre.PNG)
4wd npc/hypno, steel 5, 6 ants
a shell made out of CF extenders? intredasting... I can imagine it being very fragile/glass-cannon-y though.it's no less fragile than using shell panels, as these are smaller and the flails will block almost all of the hits. shame they have such low hp though. the setup is well worth the risk though, as you get much more weapons (i couldnt add any more flails otherwise it would havok)
I thought it was "if you can't beat them, join in"?TOO SOON DDDDD;
more drumNice bot, I feel it's gonna cream my entry in Kurt's tourney.
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86032void.png)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/57556genericandboringbot.png)Not bad. Looks good overall.
I would try getting the weapons on flails bu t it looks really good as is.it's for craig's tournament, i already made a version with flails:
Nice.because then it looks too thin and ugly D:
Why can't you just drop down a beater size for the one in the middle of the bot? Surely that would remove your weight issue :P
i dunno it's nicely built but aesthetically it's nothing like your previous botsi guess it is a bit skbt-esque but it looks clean and cool so i like it :P
The "disc" passes halfway through the chassis. Put some slots on it.but there are slots on the chassis, just hard to see from that angle
Also, your axle support doesn't properly line up with the middle of your weapon, and this:
(http://i.imgur.com/ITtLCwe.jpg)
looks awkward.

This thing was a right pain in the ass to build, and it doesn't even work past the test lab (shell+motor is on skirt hinges, probably why :dumb))
I might have another idea for a bot soon, but I also need to make a lightweight for BBX and a heavy for the challenge with avalanche, so this place may be a bit more active this next week or so :P
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/78918glactus.png)Beautiful
Probably my BBX mw
Neat. Are they flippers or just ramming protection?the side panels are all just protection, the extender in the middle is a front hinged flipper, though it'd probably be better as a normal sorta flipper
so you still have the side panel fetish?i feel they're the only real way to express my inner emotions :/
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/38369daydream.png)(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/88910deepblue.png)
I just want to watch it get picked apart piece by piece
Four wheel Merlin looks cool.I thought it was a weird remake of Storm 2 that werent a remake of Storm 2
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14109beasht.png)
weight limits are a social construct
Not Tornado looks pretty cool.Agreed, I love it. Is it a HW or SHW? I can't tell.
its a hwNot Tornado looks pretty cool.Agreed, I love it. Is it a HW or SHW? I can't tell.
Heavyweight?..something like 557kg lmao, will probably remake into a full hw when i can figure out a decent weapon setup
Still keeping up the lovely looking bots Ty4er. Do you happen to know about how it weighs, what Armour type you are using and the power of the drive motors if you have a chance? I'm not asking this to annoy you, I'm only asking out of pure curiosity if you mind?no worries man, its a hw extenderbot without a chassis, could only get twmr drive without it looking ass sadly
No problem Ty4er. As long as you have some drive power into the bot, the bot should be able to act fast enough to us it's flipper when it receives an AI code at some point. Still, love the work so far.Still keeping up the lovely looking bots Ty4er.

[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]Version 3 of DSCs packs have coloured wedgelets that should fit pretty well in there. Judging by the texture of the armour plates it looks like you're not using it already.
been holding this one away half finished in the bot lab for like half a year, i remember why i left it now after trying to find something to fit in where those angled wedge bits are
its also 300kg lol oops
and then there's also this mess which i might aswell chuck in here
[ This attachment cannot be displayed inline in 'Print Page' view ]
idk what to do with it to make it not trashy
bleh botsShunt is really neat. The other isn't your best work though I feel. It's rather messy and looks kinda unfinished with it having the burst exposed and being purely a frame.

has it been a year yet

shame its useless and like 520kg

slightly overweight cw, would be fully legal cw if its 2wd but thats boring and it takes a billion years to load anywayand probably sucks huge ass
nice cambercan you recommend us some metal
