Title: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on May 16, 2010, 02:56:38 PM
Hi, I'm new to the forums, but have been playing RA2 fo atleast 2 years now & DSL for a good 6 months, so I deciced to start a showcase.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/90512screenshot_3.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56860screenshot_4.jpg)

Titanium 3, about 398kg (I think), 7 ant batts, npc fasts, growler wheels not because of weight issues, but because I feel that it is too fast with hypnos.
No decent name yet, if you have any suggestions, then feel free to post them!

Any comments, advise or critism appriciated!

 :welcome

As Reier pointed out, your username is kinda already taken, but welcome nonetheless!

Despite what you say about the wheels, it would be better with Hypnos, and you can take away one ant battery from this.

Your weapon extender work is also heavy (I would just use two polycarbonate or aluminum extenders), and the wedges would be better if you use metal hinges.  I also find 5mm plastic better than 3mm titanium.

Aren't the growler wheels a cheatbot2 part?
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Jonzu95 on May 16, 2010, 03:19:16 PM
Yes they are.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: LiNcK on May 16, 2010, 03:29:59 PM
Also, Those flais might be a problem when an opponent gets caught by the wedge (If its good enough)
THey might just bounce off before you manage to hit them :P
 
and you can take away one ant battery from this.

Personally, I prefer overpowering Popups so they manage to stay at Max Power for alot of hits, Also< You cant do much with 6.5 KGs...
Sometimes you can upgrade from Tit x5 to Plastic x10 or something like that (27kgs for Plastic & 25kgs For Tit armour)
 
Overpowering popups is always good (Dont go ub3r overkilling it though xP)

Hey vertigo #2! XD anyway, the bot isn't bad but needs hypno wheels and metal hinges instead of axle wedges. And Get NAR AI, you look like a good enough builder for it.

Thank you for the helpful post.

Anyways, on the bot - listen to Pwn and Ounce, they know what they're talking about 99% of the time, and also these extenders are exposed.

And 6 ants is fine for 2 BSGs and 2 drive motors. You can add one, but it's not necessary.

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on May 17, 2010, 01:30:22 PM
Wow, this has got a lot of replies, thanks! :mrgreen:
First of all, can I say sorry about the username thing, honestly, I had no idea.
I'll try hypnos, didn't know that growler wheels were cheatbot 2 parts.
I don't really want to remove an ant, as I've read in alot of places that it is good to overpower popups.
Ounce, I don't understand how my extender work can be lighter but if you'd like to explain that a bit further it would be great. :P
I don't really want to decrease the armour, as I like my robots to take a few hits from lock nut!
The wedges are actually pretty good, gets under all of DSL AI (apart from slashback) & I don't know where I'd find weight for skirt hinges (I know they would be better).
I'll try NAR AI, am I really good enough for it?
FOTEPX - Thanks for the compliment :P
Axle wedges are exposed, I know, but they stand up to damage pretty well, how are any other extenders exposed?
I'll post improved robot soon.

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on May 17, 2010, 02:08:32 PM
Right, here is the updated version:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/39599screenshot_3.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67253screenshot_4.jpg)
Now with hypno's, tried to downgrade the small wedges to 40cm angled titanium skirts but the small wedges seem to protect the axle wedges & without them they fell off easily, & with new wheel guards!  :bigsmile:
However, now only 6 ant batts & armour is now only plastic 5.  :(

New robot, bigger version of the other:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31667screenshot_5.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/45426screenshot_6.jpg)
Inertia, very good wedge, lots of ants, fast, titanium 5 I think & the small jx burst is to aid self righting.
Can out-wedge second sentinel all the time  :mrgreen:

Both robots would do much better AI-d but I don't know how!
I've read the tutorial but I don't understand the bit about noses (might be nose cones, I dunno)

I've not had any ssuggestions for naming the middle weight, (to show how bad I am at naming it is currently called Scraper v6.0)  ::badidea
So any name suggestions would be really apprieciated!
Thanks once again for all the critism so far, keep it coming.

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Naryar on May 18, 2010, 04:32:28 AM
The side armor on the HW isn't doing much.

Also change the Mag Snappers to BSGs (they're better), and you really should tweak it so you don't need the JX for self-righting. Any popup should just self-right with it's weapons rather than having a separate srimech (wastes a lot of weight)

Pretty good though :D
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on May 18, 2010, 01:00:36 PM
Yeah, I know, I had loads of extra weight so I just tried to increase the front protection!
I know that on MW's & below that BSG's are better but don't HW's need that bit of extra power?
I'll try to improve the HW.
No critism on the MW, is it actually OK?  ;)
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: FOTEPX on May 18, 2010, 01:45:52 PM

Mag Snappers lock up after 2 minutes.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: G.K. on May 18, 2010, 01:47:55 PM
BSG's and Mags have the same torgue, mags are just heavier.

Ounce, I don't understand how my extender work can be lighter but if you'd like to explain that a bit further it would be great. :P
So something like this:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/67305screenshot_137.png)
Notice that I just used 2 extenders to attach the weapons, and I think I have a way to improve your wedge and armor setup as well:

You can change the armor setup to just a 40cm metal skirt or a side panel on a single ME (multi-extender), and with the free weight gained from that and the weapon extenders, you can change the wedges to small wedges on 1 or 2 flipper segments on metal hinges.

Mag Snappers lock up after 2 minutes.

What exactly are you talking about ?

I know that on MW's & below that BSG's are better but don't HW's need that bit of extra power?

As said before, BSGs have the same torque as Mag Snappers but lower max speed. But maxspeed doesn't really matters in that case, plus BSG's retract stronger, hence they are better for self-righting as well.

Post by: Vertigo on May 19, 2010, 02:19:53 PM
Right, I'm still struggling with the HW (still can't get it to self right) but in the meantime, I've made a SHW:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/14613screenshot.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/31405screenshot_1.jpg)
Rotation 2 (Once again, if you have any better name suggestions then feel free to post them ;D)
2 6 mags driving 2 70kg hammers.
8 ants
Npc fast with technos
Titanium 3 I think
Really good wedges - Gets under second sentinel every time  :bigsmile:
The stance needs to be that wide for it to be stable - after a lot of time it turns without floating in the air.
I tried it with 2 dp's but then it was so unstable that once it tipped a little it was completely uncontrolable, its still powerful enough though :P

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Badnik96 on May 19, 2010, 02:23:41 PM
Needs a smaller chassis. Reminds me of something 123 or SD would make.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

Revelator?
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Pwnator on May 19, 2010, 09:25:38 PM
NPCFs with Technos is crazy drive on a VS especially if it has axle wedges. :O

Instead of using such heavy DSL bars just for stabilizers, you can easily use 80cm (or 120cm) angled sheets and just fiddle around with the rotation to your liking.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

It's a SHW so it's fine.

It looks pretty good but i think you're wasting weight on DSL bars. Do what pwn said.

Also axle hinges are bad when pitted against another wedge.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on May 24, 2010, 01:48:30 PM
OK, thanks for all critism. Heres the updated version:
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/95019screenshot.jpg)
Revelator 3
Insides are the same but with a new wedge setup. I'm not sure if I like it as much however, as soon as it tipps backwards it is uncontrolable & the wedges are worse. Titanium 3, 1199.1kg.
The name is much better than mine FOTEPX but I'm still not sure about it, I'll still keep it for now though! :P

A new robot - GyroPhobia 3
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/56094screenshot_1.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/54979screenshot_2.jpg)
Perm 80 driving 2 60kg hammers, quite a nice weapon IMO  ;)
Titanium 3, not sure about the weight but its pretty much 399.
I got that skirt hinge botton idea from somebody else's showcase quite a while ago. Naryars I think, so credit to whoever it was for that.
It hasn't ever lost to lock nut because the 60kg hammers stay on much longer than its 30kg ones, most of the time it wins to tornado but has lost once or twice I think.

Gyrophobia 4 -
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/34911screenshot_1.jpg)
(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/35953screenshot_2.jpg)
Same armour (titanium 3), same drive same weapon apart from the fact that they are perm 80 longs not short
Pros -
More stable
More powerful & can destroy other robots quicker (dunno why)
One more ant batt  :bigsmile:
Iron tips which cause some damage.

Cons -
Exposed weapon motor  :mad:

I'm sorry, but I don't like it ATM. I think the DSL bar should be longer, and the stabelizers at the front should not be in the way of the weapon, because what will happen is the robot will hit the spikes, not the hammers.

If the DSL bar was longer it would be unrealistic, the robots always hit the hammers first, not the spikes, as when spinning, the weapon is much further forward than the stabilisers.

Are samuri swords cheatbot 2 parts? Because robot X swords are far too heavy.

Edit: I've tried every long weapon, & either they don't fit, don't serve their purpose (holding the hammers off the ground) or they take me over the weight limit. So the bot stays as it is for now.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Badnik96 on May 27, 2010, 03:39:41 PM
Samurai swords are not CheatBot2 parts and can be used in TTT.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on May 27, 2010, 04:05:47 PM
I've tried to attatch the samuri swords in many different ways but it just ends up being heavier & worse.
Anyway, that isn't really one of my best MW's, its an option, but I'd probably enter something differentin TTT.

Quite a good MW grinder, pretty good wedges (can always get under SlashBack) & quite fast.
Titanium 1 & about 384kg.
What do you think?
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Naryar on May 28, 2010, 11:59:32 AM
Technos are wasted weight on MW sawbots. Just use NPC fast and Hypnos.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on May 28, 2010, 12:05:45 PM
I need big wheels so that the sawblades don't hit the ground & if it wasn't for its speed it wouldn't be able to OOTA other bots.
I will try a different setup though.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

Get rid of 1 ant and upgrade to Titanium 1.  You only need 3 ants for this.

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

Oh, and turn the flails 90 degrees. They are unrealistic that way (and they do more damage turned 90 degrees!)

Bulldozer EVO, basically I wanted a well armoured flipper with decent drive & a good wedge.
Six wheel drive!  :laughing Slimbodies with hypnos, titanium 5, lots of ants, very little empty space, really good wedge.

4 bsg's give me enough power & 6 slimbodies with hypnos is easily fast enough.

How many ants? This needs 10-12.

10-12 if there were two bsg's yes, but there are four, I have about 18 ants because otherwise the battery power was fully gone by the end of a 3 minute fight.

Sorry just checked, you can't see 4 bsg's in the picture. There are 2 directly under the 2 other bsg's inside the chasis. They drive the 80cm titanium angled skirts.

Oh. But 6WD slims is wasted weight. You could just use 4WD NPCFs and it will be much more faster and lighter (on motor weight and batteries). You could use the remaining weight for steel skirts instead of tite. :D

Auto Destruction:
Titanium 5, 798.?kg, 2 battlepacks, 2 ants, one geared beta motor driving 2 70kg hammers, lots of armour, 2 tite sheets underneath, npc fasts with hypno's.
It deals good damage when stable & well underneath another bot, but because there is 140kg on the end of the axe, unless it is underneath another bot it just flips itself over. Can self-right itself, but takes a while.  ::2mad

It tends to be spectacular in 2 ways:

2) When it doesn't it tends to fling itself all over the arena in a spectacular way.

Sacrifice some rear armor so you can get metal hinge wedges in there (hopefully they won't AGOD). To get rid of the flippy thing, and some stabilizers to the front (take a look at Undeadbeat in NAR AI, though that may be a poor example since it doesn't have a rear stabilizer as well XD).

Post by: Naryar on May 31, 2010, 04:13:23 AM
It's a Beta geared, hence a spin motor, hence the bot only really needs 5 ants.

Also you might want to increase hammer range.

I'll try that but then it would be easier for other bots to get underneath it.

That's an awesome bot, the only thing I would worry about is poor hammer acceleration with all that weight on the arm.
It isn't really, but with 2 70kg hammers, as long as it hits the other bot with a reasonable swing then it doesn't really matter.

It's a Beta geared, hence a spin motor, hence the bot only really needs 5 ants. I'll change battery setup then.
Also you might want to increase hammer range. What do you mean by that?

It is a spin motor which can only rotate 180 degrees.

This robot isn't designed to do damage, & the flippers are powerful enough already. If I used large JX's, I would need more ants & a higher chasis, resulting in less chasis armour, & bad drive.

GENERIC NAMES ARE GENERIC LOL

Anyway, do what Nary said and you wouldn't need the Lightning spike on Whiplash. If you want a weapon, you should find a way that when a bot rides up the wedge, the static weapons hit it as well.
Whiplash had about 15kg left over & it couldn't quite reach titanium 3, I couldn't find any other way to use the weight, I would gladly remove it if I needed the weight.
Bulldozer wasn't designed to do damage

Post by: Somebody on June 11, 2010, 12:29:43 PM
SnS vs. SnS is only good for making boring matches, not gauging the effectiveness of an SnS.
You need to test it against other bot types. Inevitably it will lose against some types, but its a better way to gauge its effectiveness, and find weaknesses.

Also, LW SnS are not as effective against other LWs as HW SnS are against other HWs, so keep that in mind if it does not dominate every bot it faces.

Rioting Defense,
Titanium 3, 4 ant batts, npc fasts with dsl wheel 1s, 18 irons,

Here is a bot that I made ages ago, I know the dsl bars could be attached in a better way.
My question being, why does this do so badly? It can't even win against eye stabber
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: 123savethewhales on June 25, 2010, 12:46:57 PM
Because this game is dominated by wedge bots.  You have bots that just slides right under and start popping/grinding at your open bottom.  So anything without wedges will need serious external armor to survive.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on June 25, 2010, 12:49:24 PM
OK, but, all of the irons will have fallen off & eye stabber will ony have lost of pole spike
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: 123savethewhales on June 25, 2010, 12:52:13 PM
Probably because eyestabber is under your bot, so it's hitting the extenders and not your iron.

Iron are fine as long as they are the one making contact.

I made this bot earlier.
It doesn't really act how I expected it to, it spins on one hammer, sorta like doom driedel
I've put it on the exchange, soyou can all have a look at it, its under the file name 'Vertigo_Smash Hit.bot'
Why on Earth does it do this?

Inertia 2, (first version was posted on page 2),
True popup, titanium 5, small jx's, npc fasts, about 770kg
Good wedges, overpowered but I think thats good as it is a popup
However, deals pathetic damage, it has only ever destroyed a bot ONCE (yes, this was in NAR AI)
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

I would like to, but one of the key characteristics of the original bot was that it was 4WD, & therefore my bot should have 4WD too

Triple thing is your messy wedge right now.

Simpler setup = 2 metal hinges and 1 skirt hinge in highest possible position
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on June 29, 2010, 10:37:09 AM
The bot relies on the wedges to hold it up (not the skirt hinge wedges) & if it used skirt hinge wedges then it pushes them upwards so that the hammers hit the ground.

Imagine mako having skirt hinge wedges, it would have the same effect that it would have on my bot

Post by: Clickbeetle on July 04, 2010, 03:47:28 PM
6 kgs will not get you steel skirts.  You would need more like 20.


What you CAN do is use a bigger air tank for the flamethrower.  Won't have any effect when you're driving it but will help if you AI it, since the AI can't simply hold down the trigger to keep it going full power.


Now that bot would present some interesting AI possibilities.  You could make it not fire the popup spikes until the opponent's health is drained from the flamethrower, or until you run out of air, to make it easier to score 1 hit KO's.

There isn't room for a bigger air tank & if I re-build the chasis, it will be bigger & therefore it would be unlikely that there would be wieght for a bigger air tank

I have wired it so that the flamethrower sends out a fire burst at the same time as the bsgs fire

Just AI'd it, & it does well to a certain extent.
However, it loses all of its beater bars quite quickly.

BTW, for the bindings, I used the same as backyard shredder which used omni py.
As jugglers are spinners, shouldn't it use spinner py.?

Spinner py makes you bot stop right in front of the other bot and just spin its weapons. So no you dont want this for a juggler.

See infcon(satanic cult), The inglorious basterd (the inglorious basterds), telescopic sight (the assasainators) and some others around in NAR/ Several in the last few teams in the latest one, and my juggler that you OOTA'd, but thats slightly different. Best to look at hazcon for DSL MW :P

Generally need more than just beater bars. DS teeth and Razors are good too.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Pwnator on July 13, 2010, 03:22:50 AM
It's good to keep a mix of high-DP and high-HP weapons on a bot like this. For example, light DS teeth are handy at trying to KO belly-armored bots like HnM 4, and beater bars are handy at withstanding a beating from juggernauts like Pyrotechnic Display.

Look at the JX HP's, they don't need to be protected

Plus metal sheets would do better.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Somebody on August 07, 2010, 12:29:37 PM
Metal bar helps a lot. It keeps bots from flying over the back when flipping, throwing them forward more often, and leading to more OOTAs.

I was going to shoot the Unrealistic lazer due to the hammers going through the wedge, but I don't feel like it.

Underweaponed IMO, too much spare space, and try and fix the unrealisticness.

It only has 2 medium beater bars less than VQ2 (side beater bars don't count in this case). :P

AND MY SD RAMMER CLONE IS COOLER. :P

Also, do this: Instead of putting the bulk of your batts in between the middle and rear drive, stuff them up in the front, so you won't have to use the flipper segment to attach your weapon rack. To solve your side armor problem due to what you did above, just rotate your flipper segment 90 degrees. :P
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on August 14, 2010, 03:36:15 AM

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Pwnator on August 14, 2010, 06:11:22 AM
It gives you weight for some more weapons. And you DO have room for the ants. If you placed ants somewhere near the rear, you can stuff them up front with a simple rearranging. :P

The term "klone" is used when it is evident that it is truly a clone. Which is why Ejector is only a semi-clone. :P

Started out as my take on Vertigo's Absolute Destruction 4, but due to severe AGOD I started again, and it has kinda turned into a Time Bomb Klone. Needs a name and paintjob anyways. My favourite part of the bot is the funky extender work off the shell panel :D

And I havent tried anymore, because here is my Vertigo inspired Juggler.

Post by: The Ounce on August 31, 2010, 04:47:12 PM
Change to 3mm plastic; it's more efficient than 3mm aluminum.  With the weight gained, get stronger flipping arms, add more external armor, or a longer wedge, whichever possible.

Post by: MassimoV on August 31, 2010, 07:39:59 PM

The main reason that the dsl bar is there is so that it looks more like the other bulldozers :P, it does protect the chasis to some extent though

1- Slap blades are horrible weapons.
2- Slims with hypnos if you dont expose the TWM3R's.

2) Thought so

OK then ;P

These are amazing! You diffidently are taking to flippers. Though I am skeptical  about the ant. Also, what are the extenders doing on Nano Bulldozer?
1) Thanks
2) I know :P
3) That is pretty much the best that can be done for an antweight flipper
4) Notice the side protection on HW & SHW Bulldozers? It is so that it somewhat looks like them. They also support the robot when it flips (stops it from tipping forward)

Now make a UHW Flipper :D
I've never made an UHW before, to much IMO
Besides which, the 6 team slots are full now

Not enough weight, are bsg wedges as good as hinged wedges



Tried replacing small wedge - dsl bar setup with tite sheets, that didn't work either
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Naryar on September 02, 2010, 01:56:54 PM

1-Then use less weight in battery power by batteries with better AMP/kg ratio than ant batteries (like PC545 or battlepacks) or/and remove some armor.

2-BSG wedges can be better or worse than metal hinges, depends of the weight distro. A 6WD bot like that is bound to have a less than awesome wedge anyways.

And does it even needs Ti 5 ? Yes, there is no botton armour It doesn't needs Ti 5 with a good wedge It doesn't looks invertible either. How many jugglers are? Two of mine, and the MW (Crown of Thorns) who won a tournament, AND Tunneler who went runner-up on CC3. And it's more of an angled spinner that a juggler really.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Vertigo on September 03, 2010, 08:17:34 AM
1) Yes, but it makes it good & what more could I use the weight on?

It wasn't originally made with the plows, I just added them on to see the effect that they would have.
When a robot goes up it, it primarily gets stuck by the plows, so their wedges get ripped off instantly,
The wedges don't really get in the way after that

If he changes the irons to razors, he gets 48kgs (If I did the math right). Thats enough for a half sheet, some skirts to protect the wheels, and probably some top protection.

Nano Rise is overkill, bro. Unless that is fully powered, try a single BSG first.

NAR AI second sentinel is too easy, so I made my own :D

Oh, and the OOTA'd bots are:
Second Sentinel (NAR AI)
Guard Duty
CRITICAL EMERGENCY (NAR AI)
Lousy Launcher v2
AAM? Never
Bulldozer 4 :O

You know that "blue CB" or "AX2550" rather than "blue speedo" is even shorter AND understood by most people here...

Plus it's not only a speed controller.

Now will it beat Third Sentinel ?   :p

I would downgrade the armour and either:

Trouble with that is ground clearance but maybe if he had bigger wheels.

Big wheels on an SnS this size would be bad, it'd be very wobbly when it was spinning, and easier to get a wedge underneath it and put it off balance. I think there's not much in the way of improvements that can be done, spare maybe weapon placement.

Strange, it just looked like you had two hex plates attached to each other and irons going into each other.
Then again with tit 3 and all those stabilizers I should have known that was impossible  :embarr

Anyway, unless you get rid of some of those stabilizers somehow you're gonna struggle to get any durable weapons on there.
The thing i'd do is try to make the weapon as damaging as possible to try and caounter the wedges better (coz'there's obviously gonna be a lot of them in CC4, and i'm presuming that's what you built that for).

Not sure this is the best design for the tournament though. Exposed top might mean gets raped by some VS.

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Pwnator on January 20, 2011, 02:36:07 AM
Use the hollow shell disk and use Urjak's srimech. Hopefully that will give you weight for a few more flails.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Urjak on January 20, 2011, 05:45:16 PM
Hmmm.. It is odd that this shell spinner is outweaponed by SS that I assume have fewer razors. It may be due to the slowness of your motor (as 123STW said, speed helps piercing). Anyways, you definitely need some bottom armor or else popups will destroy you. Also, do as Pwn said and weaken your disk. Also, you might want to downgrade your drive to give you extra weight (just use Melty-Brain).

Does the shell get stopped easily by other robots?

While you can mount 2 full sheet to counteract the huge chassis caused by the mag 6, it's another thing to ask if that's the best way to do it.

Try it for yourself, Joe. Make the chassis as low as you possibly can by using the drag up to the top, click at the bottom technique, then try attaching a halfsheet to the baseplate. It says "Baseplate components must fit inside the chassis". Bit of a pain, I guess, but not an enormous inconvenience, I find.

It is like having a VS weapon pass through your chassis. That would also be cheating because it give you more HP than you actually deserve. I don't see how it is cheating in the least.

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: 123savethewhales on January 22, 2011, 11:40:34 AM
Well, because it's impossible in the Botlab to put a half sheet on a chassis lower than 0.41, that's why it's cheating.

Surely we are not going to allow BFE things impossible in the bot lab right?  The room for exploitation is just too great.

Errrr 123, don't you lower the high of the chassis sometimes through BFE...?
Not below the legal value of 0.338182, except for replica war 2 which explicitly allowed it.

If I can BFE chassis height down and still have the half sheet, 90% of my bot will not exceed 3 battery height.  The whole 0.41 limitation is the reason why some of my bots doesn't have half sheet.

I don't want to spam too much so I just add to this post.
That using the extra low chassis glitch?
Yes

Some, and they also have to reach the opponent. The basic principle of the loophole is fine, though.

Stop with the fast robots.

If it is too fast, it can OOTA itself by just riding up the wedge of a bot.

An effective flipper is a controlled flipper.

Post by: martymidget on February 14, 2011, 12:53:52 PM
An effective flipper is a flipper than can fling its opponent before it has a chance to ready itself.

Its an inertia powered flipper, mush.

Exactly, which is why speed is one of the most important things for a flipper

That's a LW right?


How well does it flip?


Also, although it does look really cool, it looks nothing at all like CRUSH.  Sorry.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: NFX on February 18, 2011, 11:48:16 PM
It looks vaguely similar. I think it's a pretty good try. I tried making a BW Axle Flipper, and it completely failed.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!

Its quite effective really, throws LWs OOTA from the BBEANS arena with ease

Post by: Vertigo on February 19, 2011, 01:40:10 AM
Yeah, but I'd have the rookies consisting of 1 LW, 4 MW, and one HW

So I made CRUSH a LW, and atom smasher a HW to even it out
And it does look vaguely similar...

Does Emergency flip or kill, I mean, it has weapons

In-fact, why do most bots in SkAI High have weapons.

Particually Coal Miner (or something like that), since that bot keeps killing me....

Weaponed flippers > Flippers with no weapons.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: SteveM4 on February 23, 2011, 10:47:36 AM
That I understand.

But Coal miner has 2 separate FS and razors and can't flip for toffee, it just wedges you up (good wedges) and eats you.

(https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/62335Frequency XL.png)
I don't think anyone's done anything quite like this before, I know there have been flail hammers, but here, the hammer doesn't flail, just the weapons
The idea was to use flails to up the frequency of the weapons (I think thats what they do :P), thus the name
I tested this also without the flails, and with 5 razors instead of 4 razors + flails, and the flail one scores over two times the points

Lol, you build Hammers better than I do, aswell. ;< Looks neat though, but does that rear skirt affect self-righting? I know on my Hammer Cantarella the stabilisers stopped it, but then I can't build, so.. :P

Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: NFX on April 24, 2011, 04:54:33 AM
That looks like a pretty good idea. What I would do is rotate the ones on the sides, and have them all pointing outwards, so they spread out when they hit the opponent.
Title: Re: Vertigo's DSL Showcase!
Post by: Squirrel_Monkey on April 24, 2011, 10:37:34 AM
@Fotepx: Flails allow weapons to keep moving, thus doing continuous/repetitive damage, acting as if they have frequency.

Nope, it's exactly on the MW Weight Limit. You can have 399.0kg Heavyweights, but that's just due to the game rounding off.

Useless katanas. Get something better. Or even 2 heavy plows if you feel like it.

4 small are plenty, 4 large are better, but 4 small are still plenty

Oh, and the JX guards are on the flippers, and its those that make it more effective than most other flippers

Flippers don't need well guarded sides, it's flip out head on or dead.

I like experimenting with the angles of flippers and their placement. 4 BSGs with their flipper blades meeting at one point can nearly be as powerful as a 4 SJXs. Give it a try, it may save you a tonne of weight.
