This is my best robot so far.

He has a drum with DSL teeth, powered by two perm 132 motors. He can defeat all of the DSL AI, but sometimes has trouble with Grog, Industrial Coal Miner, and WIIDE load. Any comments would be appreciated.

Good bot, but overpowered.

Thanks, so are you saying I should take some batteries out?

somestrangeguy · « **Reply #3 on:** July 25, 2008, 03:52:09 PM »

Yes. in DSL you can see the amp power the motors and mechanics use and how much each battery gives, you should try to make it as close to the total of the motors usage, but a bit higer doesnt hurt. but on this, it has about 180 amps of extra power

thanks for the tip

This my my very best bot recovered from my broken computer.

This robots is a spinning shell with 6 DSL hammers and spikes inbetween them. This robot can defeat all AI easily except Shogun, and can stay pretty stable even if two hammers are removed right next to each other.

Nice skin.

Unless those batteries are stacked, that bot is WAY underpowered.

Urjak · « **Reply #8 on:** July 25, 2008, 10:52:59 PM »

yeah, it is underpowered

Nice bot though, I got nothing that can beat WIIDE Load.

The double Perm says it drains tons of amps, but because of some fluke in RA2 you can get by on much less. Kind of like how in stock RA2, you can power a 10 HP Z-tek bot with 2 Supervolts. With that in mind, Canadian Devil's power is probably just adequate.

Thorny Devil is a good bot, though it could use less batteries and more weapons on the drum, or perhaps more front armor.

Agree 100%

I have to ask though, do you guys think it would be best for me to add more weapons to the drum, or make the ones already on stronger?

Gigafrost · « **Reply #13 on:** July 31, 2008, 07:39:24 PM »

Make them stronger... Your bot's 'lasting effectiveness' time in the match is very important.

R0B0SH4RK · « **Reply #14 on:** July 31, 2008, 09:33:11 PM »

Add more. The more you add, the more your destructive power increases, so you can end the matches quicker. And, there's more components for your opponent to damage, so heavy damage is sustained by fewer of your weapons.

Urjak · « **Reply #15 on:** July 31, 2008, 10:10:22 PM »

any other opinions? right now were at a tie

Sage · « **Reply #16 on:** July 31, 2008, 10:43:59 PM »

im going by stock knowledge right now.... but the HS with the more weapons will almost always win. so i say add more. but i know dsl is completely different from stock. whatever you want really.

Gigafrost · « **Reply #17 on:** July 31, 2008, 10:48:28 PM »

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. Add more.

Urjak · « **Reply #18 on:** August 01, 2008, 12:07:57 AM »

okay, majority wins. I will add more. Thanks for your help
